Ahdmohe. Monday August 1.
BUSINESS CHANGE.
I have this day sold one-half in-
terest in the daily ana Weekly
Ardmoreite to Mr. Byron Drew
a thorough experienced newspa-
per man with whom I feel certain
the Ardmoreite will be materially
benefitted. Soliciting a continu-
ance of public favor which has
been highly appreciated in the
past I am very respectfully
Sidney Scggs.
In assuming editorial manage-
ment of the Daily and Weekly
Ardmoreite I have no big prom-
ises to make. I will let my work
in the tuture speak for itself. I
will simply say: It shall be our
purpose to make the Ardmoreite
the leading paper of the Territory.
We shall aim at the highest stand-
ard of journalism and publish a
paper that can be received into the
homes of the people with pride and
pleasure. While the paper will be
democratic in politics it shall not
be Pharisaical more holier than
thou. We shall try to be broadmind-
ed enough to see virtues in others
and strong enough to contend for
our honest convictions. While the
moral tone of tbe paper shall be of
a high order we shall not become
the self-constituted guardian of
the public and private morals of
the people. We shall publish a
cleau reliable paper giving the
news in a condensed terse style
and discuss all questions of public
and private interest to the citizens
of the city of Ardmore and the
Indian territory.
Coining among you a rank
stranger I ask your indulgence
until I get in good working order.
Byron Drew.
A speculator like Joe Loiter
needs half a dozen milionaire
fathers.
The show has goue and with
it the hard earned ducats ol
many a poor man.
Its all right to talk peace
still it's better to keep right on
fi.fb.tiug for it.
How do the powers like Uu
cle iSam's foreclosure of his
mortgage on Porto Rico. (
The rain came as a blessing
to the town people. Yst we do
not think that crops required it.
The torpedo boat is like
some generals. It shows off
better before than after service.

If there were nothing else to
think of it would not be fair to
Dewey not to keep the Philip
pines.
There is not the least danger
of President McKinley offeriug
Spain bargain counter terms of
peac . "
There is a neatness and em
phasis about Miles invasion of
Porto Rico that pleases the
people.
As we go along it is not out
of place to ' entertain a little
sympathy for the men in our
powder mills.
IIorsethievks were plentifu
in Ardmorw Saturday night and
they seem to have done their
work in a scientihc manner.
It will be observed that no
one of the Spanish prisoners
has raised a kick against the

Tnorne the murderer of Wm.

in the journey to - the electric
chair. His execution is fixed
for tomorrow morning at 11

ually aids weak impaired and debili-
tated organs of both sexes. Its
action ia quick and lasting. 60 cents

Blanco boastfully announces
that he has 100000 soldiers left

about there being left. The
others are going home. It is
going to be the lonesomest
100000 soldiers that history
will tell about.
Switzerland bas instructed
Don Carlos the Spani ' pre-
teuder to move on. This re-
calls the New Englaud story of
the undesirable citizen who
after being ordered to leave a
large number of t wns was
finally warned off the "face of
God's earth."
It is only about a century
ago That Franee the present
peace maker rnanled Spain
until she couldn't be identified
by her nearest neighbor. Cer-
tainly France is a pretty good
hand to tell how Spain is suf
fering.
The French government
tried to play the same game on
Germany that Spain is trying
on the Uuited States but Bis
marck stopped all foolish talk
by saying that Germany's piice
of peace was so much today
but it would be more tomorrow.
The brave boys at Santiago
are now fighting a more des-
perate battle than American
troops ever fought before. The
short dispatch s from Shatter

bring sadness to the heart of
every true American.
