I Just looks at tho man In tho docks, end I says: 'If he ain't dono nothing, why's ho there?' And I brings 'em all In guilty." Couldn't See the Point.

The man with a ham hammer - mer hammer constantly knocking against the community in which he lives deters the progress of his town and stands in the way of his own interests. Big commercial clubs make big cities, wide awako to every forward movement, and dead commercial associations make sleepy county Beat towns. Tho needs of Anadarko aro many. A new depot, a cotton compress, a creamery, a planing mill, a canning factory, a broom factory, cotton mill, and an alfalfa mill ; and many others who desire to locate. To get any or all of these things there must be some concerted action and interest shown by tho citizens. For instance, in order to get any or even some of the abovo concerns mentioned Caddo coun county - ty county and Anadarko must put their shoulders to the wheel of tho good road movement. Tho high waters this year have hurt Anadarko's trade at least a quarter of a million dollars; then tho sand, the unturnpiked high highways - ways highways and neglected hills and unwork unwork-ed - ed unwork-ed roads aro a barrier and handicap to Anadarko's trade every day in tho year.
