MISS STOVALL'S
HONORSEARNED
Career of Georgia Plan
ist, To be Heard Here
Meteoric

Miss Frances Stovall, who will ap-
pear in concert with Miss Melva
Clark, of Americas, Friday evening
at the Opera House, has had re-
markable as well as meteoric career
during the few years she has appear
ed before the public. The story of
how young Atlanta girl, still in her
teens, competing for honors as a
pianist with four of the best young
pianists in the United States before
an audience of two thousand of the
foremost musicians and club women
of the country at Birmingham two
years ago, and how she held her own
with the very best of them, is an
honor that falls to but few in life,
especially in one who is as young as
Miss Stovall.
She is the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. j. Stoyall, of Atlanta, and
has a family connection with some
of the most prominent families in
Americas. Her mother formerly resid-
ed in Americus, and is well known and
greatly beloved among a wide cir
Gle of friends in this section. Thus,
Miss Stovall does not come to Amer
icus as stranger, but rather as one
her friends will delight to honor.
Miss Stovall has not only played
before large and brilliant audiences
in Birmingham and Atlanta, but in
1917 won the honors for the south
eastern district in a spirited contest
at Chattanooga, Tenn, with her near
est rival, young man of consider
able concert experience. When she

Ives wrote to you the day he was
shot?"

your connection with Ives was as--as
innocent as ! know it was. They'll
jump to the conclusion that you had
a motive for shooting Ives-the most
scandalous of reasons. They'll say you
shot him for revenge-for destroying

life. Do you understand what | mean?'

about the seriousness of marriage
hadn't any right to wed our Jim. Now
its too late for your thinking to do
you-or us-much good. Tell me one
thing more: Had the clip in the gun

"How many times had the gun been
fired, do you mean?"
"Yes.'

We were interrupted. He saw an air
plane overhead and stopped shooting
to watch it. Then some friends whirl-

to greet them. Jim said ne didn't
want a lot of idiots fooling with an
automatic. Maybe he had fired the
whole clip. Maybe the gun wasn't
loaded at all, today"

are very similar to those in the well
in 16 except that the oil and gas
showings were better all the way down

reason. The Magnolia has a rig up in

LONDON DURING JULY

When the International Scout Jubi-

Of July, Ardmore will be represented
by two wide-awake youngsters. James
Dolman and Robert Hefner, members
OF the local scout organization, the
former who ranks a life scout and the
other. first class scout.
The boys, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs. l. $. Dolman will leave Ard.
more tomorrow night for New York
City, where they will be stationed at
Camp Hamilton until the morning Of
July s, when they sail for Europe.
They will be with a group Of 200
scouts, gathered from all over the
United States, and in London will
meet with scouts from England, Bel
GUM, France and other countries, for
big jubilee. Following the jubilee
il is planned that the scouts will tour
the battlefields of France and Bel
GUM, returning to the United States
early in September.
The scouts will sail on the IT, s.
S. Pocahontas, furnished free Of cost
to them, by the government. The
return trip home will also be pro-
vided by the government.
oS far as is known, Ardmore is the
only city in Oklahoma, that will have
representatives at the big jubilee, and
this honor is something of which the
entire citizenship might well be proud.
Organized less than a year ago,
scouting in Ardmore has gone for
ward with success and its future
growth seems assured, when it is
realized that scouting is recognized
throughout the world as an organiza-
ton for boys unequaled in point Of
manly training, and moral develop
ment.
Boys of every creed and nationality
are members of the organization and
Ardmore should continue to lend every
encouragement to its local organiza-
ton.
