Smallpox at Sulphur.
Malignant smallpox is extant in
Sulphur. Three persons have al-
ready died and one is now down
with the disease.
The dead are: Mr. Westbrook
and wife and child The sick is
Mrs. Bird Williams.
The diseaBe is entirely different
from the kind that raged all over
the Territory last tall. It is the
killing kind this time.
It behooves us to take measures
to prevent the disease spreading
to this city. We can't afford to
let it invade our towi), even the
mild type—much lesB the malig-
nant form.
If another case breaks out at
Sulphur, a rigid quarantine
against that town should be estab-
lished at once. A quarantine
would be hurtful to both our town
and Sulphur but the health of the
community must be protected at
all hazard.

ABOUT THAT RAILROAD.
About a week ago Mr. J. W.
Bayless, who has charge of the
building of the road from Hickory
to the Santa Fe road by way of
Sulphur made a liberal proposition
io our business men regarding the
running of the road into Davis.
On Tuesday several of our rep-
resentative business men got to-
gether and discussed the matter
and decided to accept the proposi-
tion, and are now waiting for the
return of Mr. Bayless, He is ex-
pected here in a day or two.
With another railroad and an
abundant supply of the finest
water in the world won't Davis be
in the,swim? There is nothing too
good for our town and we must
get all the enterprises that come
our way.
WATER WORKS.

Resolutions.
We the committee appointed by
the Fourth Quarterly Conference
of the Davis charge to draft reso-
lution expressing appreciation of
our Pastor Rev. W. H. Averyt in
his efforts during the past confer-
ence year, would submit the fol-
lowing:
We feel that the interests of the
church have been materially ad-
vanced in ali respects. Spiritually
great improvements have been
made as evidenced by the increase
in membership, as also by the at-
tendance on divine worship, ^ur
church house has been greatly im-
proved, by being handsomely fceat 1
ed with substantial and comfort-
able pews, which make it pleasant
and inviting.
And now that our association as
pastor and people is nearing a
close we take this method of ex-
pressing our high appreciation of
his work among us as a minister
and pastor and commend him to
the kindest consideration ot
Christian people with whom he
may be associated and pray God's
blessings may follow him in his
new field of labor.
We further recommend that
these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of the Conference.
W. N. Lewis.
T. P. Howell.
Com.
The Most Bejeweled
Mrs. W. N. Cox, of Mason, O..
had the distinction on September
20 of wearing more and richer
jewels than any member of her
sex ever wore before. On the date
mentioned occurred the great fall
festival and parade in Cincinnati
and in the street display the feat-
ure was the float of the wholesale
and retail jewelers of the city.
Mrs. Cox was chosen as queen of
the display and wore gems valued
ai #600,000.
Davis is a town of destiny.
Many good things are in store lor
us. We have not yet reached our
zenith, by big odds.
Messrs. Baker and Comeford of
Joplin Mo., were here this week
and spent a couple of days at
Turner Falls looking at the sur-
roundings with a view to running
the water into Davis. They were
well pleased with the investigation
made and returned to Joplin, say-
ing they would send their engi-
neer to make a survey.
If the survey reveals things as
they expect, they will then make a
proposition to our town and they
say they can put water here on
terms that we can afford to accept.
A water supply such as Turner
Falls would provide would be the
best thing our town could possibly
get. It would mean electric lights
and other enterprises in a short
time and make our town grow
rapidly. It would without a doubt
make Davis the first named county
seat in the Chickasaw Nation.
Such enterprises ought and will be
given the proper encouragement.
We always say "if you don't
like Albatross Hour, bring it back,"
but some how our customers never
bring it back. Albatross is the
best flour ever seen in Davis. For
sale by J. R. Satterfield.
May Not Run Into Ardmore.
Ardmore, I. T.. Oct. 15.— Work

Road went of the Washita River

vice president of the road, and a
new survey is being made to the
south so that the line will miss
Ardmore. Steps are being taken
by a right of way committee to as-
certain the cost of the right of way
into Ardmore. If complications
over the right of way can be amica-
bly settled. Mr. Perry says that
the road will be built into this city.
