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.

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.

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

~ NOT AN ISOLATED CASE
Many Similar Cases in Bamberg and
Vicinity.
This Bamiberg woman's story given
here is not an isolated case by any
means; week after week, year after
year, our neighbors are telling similar
good news.
Mrs. C. E. Simmons, New Bridge
St., Bamberg, says: "Several years
ago my kidneys were in poor, weak
.and unhealthy condition for a long
time. I suffered awfully. My back
hurt me so badly that I would sometimes
have to press my hands upon
tt to ease tlhe pain. The action 01
my kidneys wasn't right and my
hands and ankles often swelled. 1
always felt tired out, depressed and
miserable and ajched all over my
: body. This is the way I was suffering
when I started using JDoan's
Kidney PiMs. I got them from Mack's
Drug Store and they brought me relief
from the start. In a short while,
they rid me of all this trouble. Every
time I hear anyone complain of their
kidneys now I advise them to use
Doan's Kidney Pills."
