It is possible that luck may play an important part in the
quick making of fortunes but it has nothing to do with
fortunes accumulated from the savings of labor.
A bank account however will be of assistance and the
young mau or woman who will take this method of saving
from his or her salary will eventually reach the desired
goal.
This bank welcomes the accounts of those people who
are working on salary and have a desire to save a part
of it.

G. L. Wilson one of the aemocratic
nominees for the legislature from
Greer county was in the city today
from Mangum. He baa no republican
opponent and Is therefore sure of elec
tion. "If nobody else votes for me. I'll
vote for myself and It's a cinch I'll
have a majority" said he.
Mr. Wilson Is a well known man In
his county being a prominent farmer.
He will probably be a candidate for
speaker of the house.
Battle Axe Glover who was also
in town and held a conference with
Mr. Wilson. He is also a probable
candidate for speaker. The two
statesmen both belonging to the
farmer class established a kind of
a mutual admiration society and it
is not unlikely that they will be found
doing team work in the law-making
mill.
"Grady as the banner democratic
county of the state occupies a prom-
inent place in state politics and there
is no question in my mind that Chick-
asha 'and Grady counties can get what
they want if we maintain our record
for democracy" said Battle Axe.
For the 'steenth time this week this
great disseminator of intelligence was
kept from going to subscribers on
time by a breakdown at the electric
light plant. The trouble started just
as the press started and the payers
could not be printed till this morn
ing. A vigilance committee composed
of bold determined men who use
electric motors with blood In their
eyes waited on the manager of the
light company with a rope and would
have strung him up to one of his own
poles had they not been convinced
that the accident was . unavoidable.
As it was they contented themselves
with Informing him that their opinion
of his blamed plant wa3 unfit to print.
PROMOTERS WANT BIG
BONUS FROM ARDMORE
Ardmore Okla. Aug. 22. Project-
ors of the proposed new railroad to
run between St. Charles La. and Den
ver Colo. have asked the city of
Ardmore to contribute $100000 and
donate a right of way not exceeding
five- miles in order to have the road
touch this point. It has already been
settled that the line will pass through
Loco that town having offered the
builders $10000 in money and a twenty-mile
right of way. It Is claimed by
the promoters of the road that not
one cent of money will be asked of
any town until the line is in operation.
The big fox chase that is to

W. S. Kilgore of this city who started
the row has his way.
It will be recalled that an article by
Mr. Kilgore In the Sportsmen's Re-
view some months ago called forth
a tart reply from Dr. W. B. Snipes of
Spring Creek Ark. The doctor ex-
pressed a desire to enter his Walker
dogs against the Julys. but ignored
some of Mr. Kllgore's conditions. Now
Mr. Kilgore has written another open
letter to him which will appear ia
the next number of the Review.
The letter aays In part: "Well Doc-
tor I am ready to meet you anywhere

Mr. Kilgore has started something
big and he should receive the support
and encouragement of all Grady coun-
ty people.
