FACTS MTU! : AND BIG REUNHN; FINANCIAL STRENGTH IS I EQUAL TO ANY UNDERTAKING | BANK STATIS?SH0W WEALTH I Wteady to Entertain Old Confederate? i | September 24-27 ]nclu9iv?? v A Solid Week of Pleasure. Tulsa, Okla., August When the Itx-Confederate soldiers, and their ml-1: lied organizations, select a city in J which to hold a reunion, if they have 1 fcerer met in that city before, desire tor information concerning the new ; meeting place is widespread through- ' but the southern states. The Confederates last year in Washington btty selected Tulsa, Okla., as the place fer the reunion of 1918. It was the iftret time an Oklahoma city had been . elected as a reunion city, and the Interest already mentioned attaches to Tulsa first, to Oklahoma second. I The first and most important consideration among the very large number of people interested in reunions, de the matter of ability of a reunion odty to finance the meeting. It is well known that, to properly entertain a Confederate reunion, from $75,000 to ||100,000 is necessary. The question, therefore, in the minds of the people bf the south Is, "Can Tulsa furnish the money?" No Confederate reunion city has jmore money, population considered, than Tulsa. Few of them have as much, with no consideration as to the * fl>opulation. A brief statement of Tulbat. financial strength should dispel jany doubt that may have arisen on acom Tn fact, the fund for en fcertaining the reunion is already subscribed and assured. One hundred [thousand dollars, if necessary,, will be expended to entertain the reunion. A consolidated bank statement \ repeals the strength of the community in money. Under the comptroller's call for bank statements of the date ' of May 10, 1918, the banks of Tulsa showed the following wealth: Total capital and surplus, $3,080,000. Total undivided profits, $490,159.23. Total deposits, $52,836,215.57. Total resources, $59,682,974.02. Exaxqjine now the table of bank clearings. In the month of June, 1918, the total clearings, as shown by the report of the clearinghouse association were $47,082,045.17. Taking these figures as a montl^y average for the year, the total clearings for 1918 will he $564,984,540. This statement is under, rather than above, the figures for the year, because the clearings are Increasing every month. It Is safe to Estimate the total bank clearings for 1918 at six hundred millions. The clearings in June, 1918, were 60.8 per' Cent above those of the same month of 1917. While Tulsa is the great money center of the southwest, hen people are patriotic also. They are giving and lending their money to the government for war purposes in large volume. At the close of the campaign for the third liberty loan, the community had donated and loaned to war purposes $18,607,900. This statement includes three or four comparatively small donations to educational and charitable institutions, altogether amounting to less than a million dolliars. So, Tulsa has contributed more 'than $17,000,000 to the various war loans and straight donation funds. !Her quota of $4,600,000 in the third liberty loan, was subscribed in less (than a week. A community that enjoys the financial strength that these figures in.dicate, can finance any undertaking jit may invite. Tulsa invited the ;Confederates to come here with their il918 reunion, fully understanding iwhat it would cost. And Tulsa will jpay the reunion bill. Tulsa will not only pay the reunion tail, but she will pay it ungrudgingly. {She will also extend the glad hand jto all reunion visitors. The dates of the reunion are Sept. 24-27 inclusive. # The railways have granted a rate of one cent a mile each way, tickets to go on sale September 19. good .for returning home as late as October 31. > ?? | HEAD OF THE VETERANS } P???? -i 1 Gen.

MANY INQUIRIES CONCERNING ORIGIN OF THAT CITY'S NAME FACT OF HISTORY BRIEFLY TOLD _ i Reunion Visitors In September Will ! Be Surprised and Entertained By ; Historic Surroundings of the City. i Tulsa, Okla., Aug.?In view of the fact that people all over the south are j beginning to talk about Tulsa, and the i Confederate reunion, it is not surpris-1 ing that interest is attached to the - - - ? ?+ i name anci mat people 01 an mvetsu^ai- > Lng turn of mind should make inquiries j about it. Some years ago Dr. Fred S. Clinton j published a pamphlet on this subject! and a copy of it has been preserved ! in the public library. From this pam- j phlet it apears that the word "Tulsa" i is not descriptive of man or beast. It I means nothing in itself. It is simply j the name of a former clan of the j Creek Indians. Dr. Clinton says: "Anciently, clans, or secret societies, j existed among the Creek Indians out j of which, in the march of progress, & j constitutional form of government was j framed, and these clans sent their rep- j resentatives to the councils of the j Creeks. There was a time when this j oligarchic government was very j strongly established among the j Creeks, or Muscogees, because the! members of the clans were not allow- j ed to intermarry and representatives j were hereditary. One of these clans was known by the name of Tulsa, and In this manner the settlement took its name." The first settler within the present limits of the city of Tulsa was Archie Yahola, a fullblooded Creek Indian. He was a man of fine physique and possessed a superior mind. He came here from Georgia in 1836, and was selected town chief of the Tulsa Lochapokas. His followers idolized him, whon >10 Hiort in 1850. he was auu n uvu ? ? w ? -F ?? buried in the southern part of the city near the ampitheatre erected by the clan for the practive of their religious rites., Tulsa's growth has been very rapid of recent years. It is now a modern city with an estimated population of 80,000. It has bank deposits of $53,000,000, with total resources of $60,000,000. The monthly bank clearings are approximately $50,000,000. The greater part of this wealth comes from the oil industry, total daily shipments of oil from the city being 300,000 barrels. It may be of interest to make note of the fact that Tulsa is the center of the Mid-Continent Oil belt from which the nation Is receiving a large per cent of the oil necessary to the prosecution of the European war. Tulsa'is also a patriotic city. At the close of the drive for the third Liberty Loan, the community had inested $18,607,900 In various war funds. Every demand on the community for war purposes has been promptly .met. Tulsa's quota of the third Liberty Loan was subscribed in less than a week. ' The community will redeem its pledge to the ex-Confederates like it redeems all of its obligations and meets its responsibilities. That the reunion here Sept. 24-27 inclusive will be one of the best in the history of the United Confederate Veterans' association, is assured. It is believed -- ?" 1. * A A AAA mat tne atienaance win reacu iw,uuu and arrangements are being perfected to entertain that large number of people. Tulsa has an interesting historical back ground. A corner of the Cherokee, Creek and Osage nations was within a few hundred yards of the center of the business section of the city. The Albert Pike highway, and the historic Ozark trail cross each other here. Washington Irving stopped here in 1832 while making his American tour. Sam Houston, the celebrated warrior-statesman left records of his wanderings around the city. Some of the old frontier forts that figured conspicuously in the early history of the southwest, were located near the present site of the city and their remains are yet to be seen. All along the Arkansas river, there are points of historic interest that visitors to the reunion will see with pleasure and profit. But it is modern Tulsa that will interest the visitor most, because it is a marvel of enterprise and thrift. The new portion of the city rivals in beauty and magnificance anything on the continent. The most modern skyscrapers west of the Mississippi river are to be seen in Tulsa, and its skyline is ever changing. Development of of the oil industry ha* made it possible for these modern buildings to be erected. Vast fortunes have been made in this one industry, yet, mere are a variety of industries here that generously repay those who have their mon**.' invested in them. Reunion visitors will find the surroundings at Tulsa entirely different from any place where reunions have been held in the past. Tt will be a new world to many. Oklahoma is a wonderful section of the country, and its development of late years has been marvelous. Reunion visitors will be surprised at the growth of Tulsa and the development of the oil industry hereabouts.

Jj A FAMILY MEDICINE In Her Mother's Home, Says Thin Georgia Lady, Regarding BlackDraught* Relief From Headache, Malaria, Chills, Etc* Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes; "I am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact, it was one of our family medicines. Also in my mother's home, when I was a child. When any of us children complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills, or troubles of this kind, we would take Black-Draught pretty regular until the liver acted well, and we would soon oe up ana aruuuu again. We would not be without It, for It certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught when not so well saves a lot of days in bed." Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treatment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which it now enjoys is proof of its merit If your liver is not doing its duty, you will suffer from such disagreeable symptoms as headache, biliousness, constipation, indigestion, etc., and unless something Is done, serious trouble may result Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, regulating the liver to' its proper functions and cleansing the bowels of impurities. Try it. Insist on Thedford's, the original and genuine. E 79 0 I 'N | BUY-- I WAR SAVINGS STAMPS | CONSTANTLY | V. r i. ^ i . i J This Space Patriotically Donated By Chero=CoIa Bottling Co. Bamberg, S. C.
