Mort L. Bixler Elected Secretary.
Hon. Mort L. Bixler, a member of
the Second Oklahoma Council and
for several years editor and proprie-
tor of the St^te Democrat, was re-
cently elccted secretary of the com-
mercial club of Hattiesburg, Mississ-
ippi, a booming city of several thous-
and population. The following arti-
cle appeared in the Daily News of
that city in a recent issue:
Mort L. Bixler was today elected
secretary of the Hattiesburg commer-
cial club to succeed C. F. Larson,
who recently resigned.
At a recent meeting of the com-
mercial club the selection of a per-
manent secretary was left to Presi-
dent W. W. Crawford, F. W. Footc
and V. M. Scanlon. They had a num-
ber of applications oil file, but were
unanimously of the opinion that Mr.
j Bixler was best qualified to discharge
the duties of the place.
t Mr. Bixler will enter upon the dis-
charge of his duties at once, and
The News confidently expects that
lie will achieve much for Hattiesburg.
j Before coming to Hattiesburg sev-
{eral years ago ,Mr. Bixler was edi-
tor and owner of the Beaumont, Tex-
as, Enterprise, which he made one of
the best papers in the Lone Star
state. As owner and manager of the
Hattiesburg Auditorium, he has been
reasonably successful.
In addition to his splendid quali-
fications for the place, Mr. Bixler
has the interests of Hattiesburg at
heart. As a citizen and property own-
er he has taken a lively interest in
the promotion of all that pertains to
the advancement of the city. As sec-
retary of the commercial club he
will have even better opportunity to
serve the community.

Permanent cures in Norman prove
the merit of Doan's.
Arthur Hearsum, living in the
southeastern part of Norman, Okla-
homa, says: "About two years ago
* ly health began to run down, due
in a great measure to the disordered
condition <>f my kidneys. The kid-
ney secretions were frequent in pas-
sage and contained a sediment My
back ached almost constantly and
when 1 arose mornings, I felt so stiff
and lame that it was all I could do
to go to work. I finally made up my
mind to try Doan's kidney Pills, be-
ing led to do so by the good reports
I had heard about them. I obtained
a box at the Pioneer Drug Store and
soon after beginning their use, found
that my condition was improving. In
the course of a few weeks, I was bet-
ter in every way and when 1 had
finished the contents of four boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills, was cured."
