DISSOLUTION NOTICE.
The partnership heretofore
existing between S. A. Douglas
under the firm name of Wilson
& Douglas has been this day
mutually dissolved. Mr. Dou-
glas has sold his interest in the
business to the Ardmoreite
Publishing Co. the new firm to
pay all firm indebtedness and
collect all outstanding accounts
due said firm.
F. E. Wilson.
. A. Douglas.
Referring to the above notice
the undersigned desires to thank
the people of Ardmore for their
generous support during Ins as
sociation with the Ardmoreite
and to commend the paper under
its new ownership to their fu
ture consideration.
S. A. Douglas.
It's a sad commentary on
Ardmore when our people have
to go to Gainesville to witness
a theatrical performance. In
every respect save for public
amusements Ardmore is ahead
of Gainesville. We don't know
who is to blame for this dene
iency but it is evident that the
responsibility belongs some
where.
Attention is called to the
letter from Mr. Powell of Wag
oner which appears in the Ard-
moreite today. It pertains to a
subject that should be very near
to our people that of townsite
legislation for the Indian Terri
tory. Mr. Powell we under
stand is a gentleman of
means and is a worker. He
spent considerable time in
Washington last winter and
has an extensive acquaintance
with senators and representa
tives. He intends going back
this winter not as a delegate
but at his individual expense
We Deiieve lie suouiu be en-
couraged in his work and we
suggest that by all means he be
invited to come over and confer
with our people. His sugges
tion as to the course to be pur
sued seems to us to be the
proper one.
Twenty-five years in which
to prepare for statehood $500
per capita to improve their
farms a constitution of their
own making are the prime de
mands of the representatives o
tne nve irioes as a basis lor a
treaty with the Dawes commis
' sion. These demands are more
unreasonable than would have
been an absolute refusal to trea
under any conditions whatever
The Ardmoreite believes the
Indians have rights that should
be respected but we do not be-
lieve they have either a moral
or treaty right to bankrupt the
government or to dictate its
policy in dealing with this vital
question affecting them even
though it does to the extent of
destroying their tribal autonomy.

Denisonl Tex. Nov. 18.
There were thirty-five bales of
cotton on the street this morn
ing coming all the way from
Tishomingo and the adjacent
country. 1 he cotton had all to
be hauled a distance of more
than twenty miles and gome of
it more than fifty miles.
Surely there was no excuse
for Tishomingo cotton going to
Denison. It belongs to the
Ardmore market by every log
ical reason distance condition
of roads and prices paid. Our
business men should do a
little missionary work in the
country and prevent a repeti
tion of such a happening.
true as gospel.
It is a noticeable fact that of
all the failures in the territory
on the Santa Fe. there were no
firms who advertised to any ex
tent in fact at all. And such
is the eeneral experience. Ma
rietta Monitor.
As applied to Ardmore the
above is particularly true and
the same thing will hit nine out
of ten of all the failures of the
entire country.
An Enormous Pile.
A statistician has learned that
the annual aggregate of the cir
culation of the papers of the
world is estimated to be 12000
000000 copies. To grasp the
idea of this magnitude we may
state that it would cover no
fewer than 10450 square miles
of surface; that it 'is printed on
781250 tons of paper and fur
ther that if the number (12
000000000) represented instead
of copies seconds it woul
ake over 33.'1 years for them to
elapse.
In lieu of this arrangemen
we mignt press and pile tuem
vertically upward to gradually
reach our highest mountaius
Topping all these and even the
highest alps the pile woul
reach the magnificent altitude
of 490 or in round numbers 500
miles. Calculating that the
average man spends five min
utes reading his paper m the
day (this is a very low esti
mate) we find that the people
of the world altogether annually
occupy time equivalent to
100000 years reading the pa
per. Richmond State.

Dear Sir Owing to Liver
pool being somewhat more fav-
orable than looked for today.
our market opened 1 point
higher but del ined 4 points sub
sequently in consequence of
increused receipts both at the
lorts and interior towns. The
light estimate for New Orleans
receipts tomorrow combined to
the scarcity oi sellers occa
sioned a better feeling later
causing a reaction of C points
from the bottom. The net gain
on the day was 2 points.
The premiums on deliveries
over spots which heretofore ex
istedhave been eliminated from
the situation thereby placirg
the purchasers of deliveries now
in a much better position than
they have been this season.
ith the above drawback re-
moved spiuners take lioul a
reaction may be established.
providing the movement is not
excessively heavy. Indications
however point to free receipts
therefore we do not think well

INNS OF OLDEN TIMES.
low Moor of Taoaa tsUrtil.it Ot
It would be interesting to know
who was the first-person to keep an
Inn. The word itself is Anglo-Saxon
signifying lodging bouse. Another
term waa goat bus a bouse for
guests or cum ens a bouse of com-
Nesr the highroads a few
ttered inns were established
where travelers could obtain a
night's shelter. Edward the Con
fessor ordain! that if a man 1st
three nights at the same inn be was
to be styled third night awn blnde
and the landlord was answerable
for bins just as if be were one of
the servants.
A good many alehouses soem to
have boon dotted a boat Saxon Eng.
land. Our sturdy forefathers spent
a largo portion of their spare time
in them. Chaucer's friar "knew
well the taverns in every town"
and Dunston found it necessary to
ordain that a priest "should in no.
wise be an alesoop" that is a story
teller or reciter in an alehouse.
Efforts were continually made to
keep down the number of inns. In
the reign of Edward I there were
only three in the whole of London.
Even in 1553 no more than 40 were
legally permitted in the metropolis.
now spreading out of its boundaries
on every side. York might bsve 8;
Norwich Exeter and Cambridge 4;
Bristol 6 and Oxford 3.
These regulations must have been
set at naught in a very wholesale
manner fcr half a century later
there were 400 "bouses of call" in
tbst part of London known as the
city and no fewer than 24 clustered
around Co vent Garden. In media val
Oxford it was ruled that no"victual-
ler" was cligiblo for the office of
mayor and this term included an
innkeeper. It will bo renrbered
that the "Sweet Bwsn of I lis" Sir
William Devenant the poet was the
son of an Oxford innkeeper mine

tradition declares was patronized by
the immortal Will himself in bis
jonrnoyings from Warwickshire to
London. The "Crown" is one of
our oldeet signs. A curious epitaph

The inns of tbo rniddlo sges were
furnished in a very homely style
We know from an old inventory
what the famous George inn at Sal.
isbury was like in the fifteenth cen
tury. This bouso possessed 13 guest
chambers each with three beds in
it a table on trestle end some oaken
benches. People ate and slept in the
same apartments indiscriminately.

tresses a curious distinction.
In French and German medieval
inns a bumorous custom prevailed
for the punishment of those convict
ed of drawing tbo "long bow." A
wooden knife cail-jd a coutoau rodo-
mont was placed by the side of the
president at the table whose duty
and privilege it was to put boasters
to silenoe by ringing the boll in the
blade or by blowing a whistle con
cealed in the handle. lie then amid
the laughter of the company banded
the knife to the offender to keep
until a greater bolster than himself
could be found.
A curious provision was intro
duced into the Scotch parliament in
1425 owing to tho complaints of the
innkeepers tbst travelers staid with
friends when they came to town. It
was enacted that these henceforth.

repair to tho established hostelry of

took them into bis own bouso should
be fined 40 shillings. Nobles and
gentlemen might stay where they
pleased provided that they sent
their horses and attendants to the
Inn.

origin. Many centuries sinco the
first monarch of the province of
Malabar Hindustan gave to one of
bis chiefs as a reward for sere

which a cock crowing at a certain
temple could bo beard. From this
circumstance the little town which
sprang up in the center of this terri
tory was called "Calicado" or "The
Crowing Cock." Afterward it was
called Calicut and from this place
the first cotton goods were imported
into England under the name of cali

Thorns were originally used in
fastening garments together. Fins
did not immediately succeed thorns
as fastt iters but different appliances
were used such as books buckles
and lace. It was the latter half of
the fifteen;U century before pins
were ued in Great Britain. When
first manufactured in England the
Lron wire cf the proper length was'
Clel to a point and tho other ex-
tremity twisted into a bead. This
was a slow process and 400 or LOO
pins was a good day's work for an
