ARDMORE WANTS.
A good live volunteer firo de-
pirtinent organized by the young
men of the city with a hook and
ladder truk and bucket equipment-
for a b u kct brigade as a
sturter.
A sewer fnra the Corner of the
II irdy building on Ma on street
to the culvert on Uidd street by
-hoh that unsightly mul hole
which ia a terr r alike to the dudes'
liat and the ladies' d.esde cau be
drained.
Some one empowered to. ktep
an open passage on the streets
through which ladies' and farmers
call drive Without aii escort or
body guard.
S ime regulations fr the s'ock
auctioneers which will prevent
thofc unearthly yells on Main
street and which art to a large
deg-ee responsible fjr street biock-
Some plan adopted and enforced
to prevent run va s from careless
hitching and insecure tying of
teams.
A grade for uniform sidewalks
in order that an ordinary individ-
ual can walk a block or two with
out first taking lessons in acro-
b;itic'a. The merchants and office men
to hang their signs so a man of
averaga height can venture on a
stroll without danger of having
hid brains knocked o.tt.
Some established rules as to
how much of the sidewalk are to
. b left open to the pedestrian and
how much sacrificed to the lem-
onade and peanut man.
Some remedy for the crowing
nuisance of accumulating waste
paper barrell stave lo s s cotton
and other debris which render
our main thoroughfare in appear-
ance s much like sum; dumping
ground or alley into which the
refuse of a large city is thrown.
S.-me measure by which stroll-
ing merchants and peddlers can be
prerented from coming in compe-
tition with leg'timate business men
who aie helping build the eity.
A city tax equal to a good rental
would equalize the matter and
offer more jrotection to home
merchant.:.
Some protection at the various
railroad crossings in the city for
-' the nunvrous farmers who have
to cross the railroad tracli. Lok
y)out stations and automatic gates
. placed in positiou now will pre-
vent some awful calamity in the
futnr.
Some attention given to the se-
curity of flues and stove pipes
before from inattention or pro
crastination the city suffers a seri
ous loss by fire.
Some discussion of the Artesian
well proposition which more than
any other one thing will be a bene-
fit to the city.'
Tifosii of Ardmore'a citizens who
now commence the execution of pro
gressive ideas will later ou be the
foremost and leading men iu all mat-
ters of a public bearing.
Akdmokk is futit assuming metro-
politan proportions. To prepare the
city for future greatness now is the
time to lay out and execute even on
a small scale plan? of substantial ad-
vancement. A max blind in the matter of fos-
tering and building up the town in
which he lives lacks pu.h and enter-
prise but when his attention is called
to the fact after much good is ac-
complished he becomes a rusher.
If on1 citizens will uuite them
selves and become thoroughly organ-
ized at this lime iu fter years they
can look back- with pride uud honor
upon their work. There hre opportu-
nities galore here for future great
uess and prosperity!
The Daily Ardmoreite is an estab-
lished and permanent institution of
Ardmote. Its promoters have the
interests and welfare of the; ciry at
heart iutentou enhancing the towns
importance as a commercial center
and. otherwise assisting in the work
of progressiveac?. As Ardmore's
star rises so will the glimmer of
prosperity be 'all our lot. That i
what we are here for.
It seems the Ahdmorkite is
threatened with a temperance war
of words. We give it out c Id and
h.t both like water and good
j whisky which always go together
that we fire not running a temper-
i a noe paper. It is hard enough fr
I us to get a drink in Ar lmoro as it
lis. We do not approve of Mr.
!Jacksons course. We do not ap
prove of the wording of the article
appearing toda v. against Mr. Jack-
son. Mr Jackson of course under
the circumstances will have the
courtesies of the pres-s extended
him and can speak f r himself.
TO TIIK CITIZENS OF AltD-
MOUE. Subscribers still pore into the Ard-
moreite. Any any ouo who doubts
will please call at this office between

half the amount of Ardmore adver-
tisement ever carried by auy paper
published here. Our advertising
rates are the cheapest of auy daily
publication ever published iu this
city. Parties who doubt are re-
fcpectfully invited to call and con-
vince themselves of the fads. Gcn-
llemcu is there anything wrong? If

connection with this olficc.
HE TOLD A LIB.
U.s-dee the head of t:Thcy told
the Truth" the Alliance Courier
admits all the facts that have ap
peared against him in these col-
umns. Ardmore citizsns are
awar" of what these charges are.
The miserable wi etch pleads guLty
aud acknowledges to the truth of
every Word uttered ir. this paper
but maliciously lies when he says
that two gentlemen in this office
are rats and scabs. The young
men are well known by some of
the best citizens of Ardmore from
their childhood are related to the
best fumilies of Texas. This office
holds cards and are members of
the International Typographical
Union of America something that
the rat scab and miserable self
admitted liar has not and never
can show.
We will say to our patrons that
this the la-t of our" e mtrovcrey
with one who is beneath the notice
of a gentleman.
Again Soule tells a palpable lie
to every citizen in the city when
he snys that his eleven 3'ear old
child Arthur well known in Ard-
more prints the Courier.

ABOUT ARDMOICE WIIISKKV.
EJitrtr Ardmoreite.
I desire through tbe columns of J'onr popu-
lar dnilr to reply to Jr. C. t. Jackson's strict-
ures on tbe drug men of the Indian Territory.
He accuses the drag men of producing all the
drnnkenncss in ibis country by selling so-called
mudicines. simply introduced and aol4 na beT-
erages and for tbe purpose of intoxication .
I us a drag denier propose to explain to the
pood people of Ardmore especially the ladies
who have made and are making an effort to
annihilate that dmn:ibl stnn that destroy
their hnppineas aud the happiness of theirebU-
dren. 1 will here ask a fer questions and Would
be pleased to have your answers through tha
columns or tbe Ardmorelto. Does yotir hus-
band or sou introduce liquor into Ardmore?
Don't your husband introduce liquor through
yourconscnt undur the disguis of wanting it
for sickness ? How long does a shoe box full of
whiskey last the old toper for sickner ? Tidie
do you believe that nearly every back room
and private office in this town is a resort for
these topers and their shoe boxes? Do you be-
lieve that whisksy is beneficial in sickness ?
Under the law no one has a righ t to introduce
agill of whiskey into this country Judge
Stewart to (he contrary.
It is estimated that from SIOO to ) worth of
whiskey is brought into this town every twenty-four
hours mostly by express. Yes and
nearly every man in this town is guilty of vio-
lating the law. Tat every drunk is laid on bit-
ters and this is done to cover up their whiskey
trarks. From one to six saloon men are in
this town every day. Do you know why they
come here ? Mr. Jnckson seems to be very Ig-
norant of this but scores the druggists for it
all.
Xow. iuconclasion. If you doubt the asser-
tions I bavs made you cau visit tuedeiot when
the train arrives either night or day aud they
willbevtriflcd.
Now a word to Sir. Jackson iu Whom I havo
confidence and respect. Why don 't you enforce
the law against the whiskey man? Are you
afraid it would hurt some of the officers cf the
court ?
Kow Mr. Jackson and also to the good Women
of Ardmore I am writing under a nom de
plume but if you wish to know who I am call
on the editor and you will get my proper name.
