There Is not a town In a radius of 100

la population on on average of 200
souls per month. This population Is
coming chiefly from tho southern
states anil Hie new comer Is among

afford tho luxury of plenty of water.
Th'oro are 2000 children hero of
scholastic ago. Tho system of public
schools Is second to none In the
statos. The superintendent. W. 11.
Duck is a teacher of moro than local
reputation and he Is nldod by a corps
of teachers devoted to their work.

sired In a town of GO.OOO people. Tho
school bonrd Is composed of tho best
citizens nnd they work togethor In I
absolute harmony to tho Interests of
tho pupils.
Ardmoro enjoys the distinction of
bolng tho silo of Hargrovo College
an Institution supported by tho Meth-
odist conference and which would be
a credit to any city ot the South. Tin
prosldont ltev. Thcmas G. Whltten

gathered boys and girls young ladles
and young men from nil sections of
tho country into his school. Tho

mands of a city of 50000 which Ard-
moro will he In ten years from today
