Interesting Sidelights of State Reunion
And Scott Ferris Day In Carte County
By MKS. M.U'DK K. TANNF.lt
Editor of the Wwlily Arilmoreile
Ardtnure, the K;irUi'n nt of Okla
homa, proclaimed u.s the center t
gushing ell wells where men have
sons to bed as -paupers and risen to
find themselves millionaires, lias yet
another claim to fame. The old
Confederate veterans who carried the
keys to the city three days of the
past week proclaim as in one voice,
that Ardtnure did her part and did It
well.
The veter.itiN say: "Hand It to the
Scout Boys, they've learned the prin
ciples for which their order stands
and practice what they teach."
L. N. Neaves of I'oolvlllo, this county,
wielded their bows to the tunes of
"Hillie In the Low Grounds," "Utile
Mollle (loodin" and many other melo
dies of by-gone days. The judges
were "stumped" when It camo to mak
ing a decision and possibly on the
grounds of Mr. Gllllland's former
reputation as a fiddler and partly to
pay homage to guests outside the
county the larger prize, a sum of
money amounting to $17.50, went to
Air. Gllliland nnd $S lo Mr. Neaves.
For the life of us we couldn't see
where one had the advantage of the
other, llotll had the effect of making
you want to keep your feet In per
petual motion,
Queens and kings may have passed
into oblivion, but, according to the
veterans who spent a portion of the
past week in Ardiiiore. Mrs. T. V.
.Morgan Is a queen among women
when it comes to feeding the old
soldiers. "She knows just what we old
men Jike." remarked a number or
the fine old veterans.
McAlestcr's delegation came In .1
chartered car to the Confederate re
union. There were about 49 delegates.
McAlester has the strongest camp In
Oklahoma.
"Did anyone lose a roll of bills?"
piped a small voice. Every one got
interested nnd busy feeling In ' this
pockel and that pocket, but no one
spoke a word. "Uecause if you illi?
here they are," said the small boy.
and he began passing out bills adver
tising a pre-war shop sale.
R. !. Halsell, a mighty "spry" ol i
fellow from Durant whose face tell!,
tho story of many and varied battles
of ' life fought, says, "Madam, there
might lie a hundred reunions, but
we'll never have another to surpass
this one. Why, everybody has treated
us royally, the scout boys and all."

Sleepless Night
rK.PSlNOI. Will Correct Causes That
Keep Yon Await
You rolled and tossed restlessly all
night and got up feeling worse than
when you went to bed. Your tongue
was coated. There was a bitter taste
In your mouth. Your breath was sour.
How many times has this happened '
Are you going to wait until you get
down sick before you act before yo'J
get 1'epslnol nnd let it correct the?
digestive faults that are wrecking
your nerves and thinning your blood?
lVpsinol acts directly on the causes
of stomach trouble. It Insures complete
digestion and the assimilation of all
the food that creates strength, blood,
nerves and tissues. Its use will keep
your brain and body healthy, your
nerves clean and steady.
! When at home In Altus. Mr. tillll-
land plays the part of Justice of the
Pence and says he has - walked many
miles in the interest of young married
couples.
T. J. Murrah of Tulsa is another
of the old and active soldiers who
expressed himself as being well pleas
ed with Ardniore's hospitality durinn
the three days' stay here.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Bean of Wood
'ville were in Ardmore to nttend the
Confederate reunion. Mrs. 15ean went
from here to Oklahoma City.
Governor Robertson came in on a
late train anil spoke to th veterans.
A rousing chorus of deep voices gave
vent to a warm greeting. Oovernor
Robertson made a patriotic, American
speech. No politics were mentioned.
He said that Oklahoma is practically
made up of other states wherein
there is no north, no south, no east
no west, but nil comprise, a citizenship
I of the best Americans. He received
' round after round of cheers nnd ap
I plause throughout his speech.
lira Louisa Wilson, who at one time
lived at Ada, but is now residing at
1'ontotoc with her daughter, Mrs.
Charles Lewis, was among the guests
during the reunion and said to ye
scribe: "Oh. yes. I'm having . a de,
lightful time. I'm all alone, but every
one is doing something to make. It
Pleasant for me, and I like to- attend
the reunions."
V. M. Locke ,a veteran of the south
ern army and a pioneer resident of
AMlers, gave u.s a glad hand-shake.
We knew .Mr. Joi'ke several years
ago when we spent a pleasant summer
in the 'then small but picturesque
little town of Anll.-ra. Miss Dorothy
Arneti, an attractive young lady, nc-companli-d
Mr. Locke and played the
part of sponsor from the Antlers
camp. The veteran told us that he had
several with him in his party, all
widowers, but that he was directly
the best looking of the bunch. We did
not get an opirortunity to confirm his
word.
Mrs. Frank S. Leach of Sedalia, Mo.,
who Is assistunt adjutant general to
Adjutant General Coleman, of the Okla
homa Division, nnd the only woman in
the United States who has the title of
Colonel in the V. C. V., was ths
"bright light" of tho reunlofc. Mrj.
Leach was appointed by the adjutant
general to fill this important posi
tion last year at the reunion at Tulsa
when ,she rode a $400 horse up and
down the lines and . carried messages
lo (leileral Coleman. Mrs. Leach re
ports at all Confederate reunion meets.
She always pays her own expenses,
which makes her services more appre
ciated and her singing and readings
are always a feature of these occa.
slons. Her talent was recgnlzed hy
the governor of Missouri during the
war ami he appointed h(r ns one of
those who went from camp to camp
entertaining the -soldiers of the late
war.

visitor to Ardmore and says he loves
thp place. H was accompanied by
Rev. J. M. Porter, district superin
tendent of McAlester, who Is a son of
a veteran of the, war of 1861-65.
Col. R. A. Sliced of Oklahoma City,
a perfect Chesterfield in manners, a
typical outhern gentleman, is an Im
portant figure in the activities of tho
old soldiers and served hln comrades
in Tjeing instrumental in carrying the
Confederate pension law through,
whereby every confederate veteran or
widow of a veteran receives a monthly
stipend. Col. Sneed paid a high tribute
to Hon. Scott Ferris who was in Ard
more Thursday .and made a short
patriotic speech to a gathering of vet
erans. '
C. W. Geers, one of the most ac
tive of all the veterans of a never-to-be-forgotten
war, who owns and pub
lishes the Mill Creek N,.ws, without
help of any kind, was among distin
guished visitors at the reunion.
Did you hear that lady expressing
a wish for a picture of Colonel Sneed?
The Colonel closely questioned her as
to whether it was wanted for the
l'ollcev (Sazette before he consented to
allowing her to "snap" him.
Mr. Miller of Healdton, who served
his country during that period when
men lost sight of self, was here to
attend the reunion. Mr. Miller is

ii great feature of the reunion and the
crowd filled the park. This was where
they .had the old fiddlers' contest In
vhleh If. C, Gilliland of Altus and
We got a little twisted on the mat
ter of who was originator of the sol
dier, pension law. Hut as we under
stand it Mr. Hargls, a lawyer from
Gen. William Taylor, who it is said
better understands" the western par:
of Oklahoma than any veteran living,
was here and for the reason above
stated his name was placed in nomina
tion for the greatest hon,ir that can
be bestowed on an old veters.ii, that
of commander. Like Mr. Hargi he
too, withdrew and left an open field
for General McAlester, well beloved
by every comrade of the order.

Sons, and a millionaire oil king o.'

deep Interest in all that pertains to
the old soldiers, was present and in
the name of the Sons and Daughters
of Tulsa extended an invitation to
the veterans to make Tulsa their next
meeting place. Shawnee, was offered,
but it was a wise organization that
selected the "Wonder City" wherein
to gather for their next love feast.
Mr. Hrady offers to pay all expenses
of the soldiers of the Confederate
Home, provide a special car, with all
the trimmings and a key to unlock
every place in the city.
