RETIRED FROM
R. W.. Randol Throws Down the Yard
SticR after 20 Years' Active WorR.
His Early Struggle With a
Capital MaKes an Interesting Chapter in Real Life
A Career Which Shows MarKed Devotion to
Business Religion Education and to Home
with Honesty as a Chief Characteristic.
Among the Interesting nnd Import-''
nnt changes wrought by tho new year
In local business circles Is tho roll.o-
uiont from tho mercatitllo business of
It. V. Itanilol.
His friends observe many virtue
that ho hns displayed thror.hout his
career but he himself finds hut th
one thing to whteh he feels justiflvl

tire period of twenty years In whifh
R. W. RANDOL.
ho has conducted a largo business he
has never asked nny creditor to nc-
ccpt any Bum less than one hundred
cents on the dollar.
Mr. Handol occupies a prominent
placo amons thoso who have gono
through financial panics nnd crop
failures but who have commanded tho
skill to direct their business Interests
along absolutely safe lines.
Tho retired merchant Is a Tcnnc3-
secan by birth and In his early young
manhood choso Texas as tho stato of
his adoption. Having been on tho
farm east of tho Mississippi ho nat
urally turned to this avocation In his
now holno in tho west. Tho first dol
Inrs his Industry brought him we.o
spent In school. Boiiy; forced from
school by tho lack of means and step
ping out Into tho world with 63 cents
ns tho sum total of his cash capita:
ho embarked In business as a bjok
agent. "Hill's Manual" which at that
tlmo was considered a necessity In
every well regulated home was tho
HOME OF R.
It Is conveniently located In tho
nnd la perhaps tho most elaborate and
book ho sold. Two nnd a half years
of diligent work furnished him w'th
a capital of J600. Ho then embarked
In tho general inorcbundlse business
nt Dexter Toxas. That fortunnte
movo mado by him was In this month
twenty years ago.
In June 18R5 ho married Miss I)t-
tlo Wllkos ot Longvicw Toxas.
In tho selection ot a companion ho
used tho same good judgment as In
tho management of his business nf-
fairs. Mrs. Randol by hor cheerful
disposition nnd by hor wise ndmlnlu-
(ration of the ho'mo hns contributed
largely toward tho succons attained
by hor husband.
After tlireo years ot successful
business In Duxtor Mr. Randol moved
to Ardmoro. Tho town was small T'

MERCANTILE LIFE
Few Pennies as a Cash
camo to him and ho purchased roal
estate whllo others thought It too
high. In the meantlmo ho had opened
up n general merchandise storo and
was growing in popularity ns a mor-
chant. From year to year his business
grew in volumo and at tho snmo tlmo
his real estate was growing moro
valuable. Since tho year 1899 when
W. O. Huston sold out his business
here Mr. Handol has enjoyed tho dl'V
Unction of being Ardmore's oldest
Kenrrni niorchnndlso dealer.
Personally Mr. Rnndrl is congenial.
Although ho has been a very busy
man ho has found tlmo to cultlvato
friendships nnd ho has many warm
personal friends. Ho has also found
tlmo to devote to tho Interests of the
church of his cholco and to educa-
tional Institutions. He has bcei n
steward nnd a member of tho boa.vl
of trustees of tho Broadway M. E
church slnco Its establishment In this
city. Ho hns nlded tho church in g.'ow
Ing into the mo3t influential In tho
city and from a smnll framo build
Ing Into a handsomo brick structure.
Ho Is also a member of tho board of
trustees of Hargrove college. " - was
chosen a member of tho orlglnui board
and Is now tho only pioneer member
on tho board; hero ho has also wit-
nessed a smnll beginning grow Into
a modern educational Institution with
a strong fncnlty and entirely free from
dcbL
There Is In his nature no deslro for
political honors and ho has never
sought prestige In politics. Ho 13 now
however sorvlnr his second term ns
alderman In tho city council. He has
been faithful to his chargo and has
sorved his ptoplo with wisdom
Tho city of Ardmore has found In
Mr. Randol a staunch friend. Ho hns
always contributed liberally toward
thoso enterprises calculated to build
the town into a city. Ho Is now a
stockholder and a director In the
Pennlngto Grocery Co. and In tho
Ardmoro National bank.

In tho education of his boys and girls
Mr. Randol expresses a fcullng of
gTatefulncsB to the many people who
liavo shared their business with him
and he extends cordial thanks to his
trlenJs from whom ho has drawn in

Among his attributes that appeal
ntrongly to tho emotions of tho hoart
