Ardmore, Okla,
April 4, 1921.
To The Ardmorelte:--
"As Mrs. Turner and | leave today
for Los Angeles, Cal, the state of sun
shine and flowers, and in our opinion,
the garden spot Of the world. We can't
resist our desire to tell you and the
readers of your paper of some of the
beauties and worthy things of your
beautiful and progressive city. with
the utmost sincerity we wish to say
we like Ardmore with her wonderful
kind and sociable progressive people
we are sure it will continue to grow and
J hold its place among the leading cities
Of the middewest.
1--WE have had the pleasure of spend
ing nearly a month in your midst. We
have driven over your paved streets and
hard surface highways leading to OK
lahoma City, admired and enjoyed your
fertile farms and beautiful rustic seem
cry with the green topped hills and
beautiful streams flowing between them,
fine stock, nearby oil production which
shows every sign Of prosperity and the
constant growth of Ardmore.
"In Ardmore we have enjoyed your
churches with their large attendance,
admired and listened with interest to
sermons from the pastors who are so
honest and sincere in their work and
fully show their reward and apprecia'
ton by being able to gather and hold
sudh large regular attendance in their
Sunday schools, sermons and all re-
ligious meetings.
I'VE note and admire your schools
and their attendance, your department
stores. Ardmore has practically com
pleted one of the most up-to-date de-
partment stores we have ever seen in
a town twice this size. They are to be
congratulated on their new office
building ana one Of their attractive
leading drug stores They certainly have
a hotel to be proud Of.
"Ardmore is not wild and woody
western city as some might wish to have
| III to al
law abiding city with a number Of
churches, noticeable and attractive at
tendance. schools and learned teachers
who are doubtless competent Of teach
ling others how to build a substantial,
clean. moral city.
During the recent trial there was
much comment in some Of the eastern
papers about law and order. l say with
out fear of contradiction that Sheriff
Buck Garrett and his deputies come
as near enforcing the law and keeping
peace in Carter county as any sherff's
force in any county in the United States.
You hear of very little bootlegging, au-
tomoble stealing or hi-jacking, and
this famous and fearless sheriff re-
Gently demonstrated his ability TO keep
down mob violence under an awful
mean situation.
"In short, Ardmore has all Of the
makings Of a peaceful friendly, pro-
gressive city and anyone should be
proud to have the pleasure OF calling
Ardnore their home, raising and edu-
eating their children in such a good
and worthy community.
I'VE have met and made friends; We
/ have and are doing what deep down
IN our hearts we believe TO be fair,
| honest and right and we haven't in
tentionally offended or hurt anyone's
! feelings in taking our stand for Miss
Clara, for she is now pure and good
and We are sure worthy Of every con-
sideration.
1--WE wish to thank the many good
people who have assisted and cncour
aged us in our worthy undertaking
We further wish to doubly assure them
that their confidence and favors will
never be betrayed or forgotten and ouI
one wish and prayer is that We shall
succeed. doing good In this world, that
