Archer Chamber
of Commerce
by Carlitta King
The Chamber of Commerce
is proud to have Oodles
Supermart as a member.
Oodles is not only an asset to
the Chamber of Commerce but
also to the community.
For a long period of time Ar-
cher City did not have a grocery
store. This meant that the resi-
dents of Archer City had to go
to Wichita Falls or Olney to buy
their groceries.
Thanks to Ward Campbell
and Mark Jentch. Oodles was
opened in April of 1995. In May
of 1995 Richard West began
managing the Supermart and
Kathy West became the book-
keeper. Locally owned and op-
erated, Oodles now employs 14
people, all of whom live in Ar-
cher City.
You can find almost anything
in Oodles that you find in any
of the larger chain grocery
stores. Richard tries to keep
everything in stock that the
customer might need or want.
Oodles Supermart is a great
supporter of the community.
Not only is Oodles active in the
Chamber of Commerce but they
are also sponsoring the Picture
Show Players Christmas play.
Currently they are working with

On October 11th and 12th,
we will have a booth to promote
Archer City at the Second An-
nual Depot Square Heritage
Days in Wichita Falls. The booth
will be located at the Depot
Square on Ohio Street. Last
year, over 10,000 people paid
admission to attend Heritage
Days activities; this year they
are expecting an even larger
turn out. This is a great way to
promote Archer City, let every-
one know what our community
has to offer and show everyone
why "THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE
ARCHER CITY, TEXAS."
If anyone has pamplilets, bro-
chures or information packets
they wish to have passed out at
the Depot Heritage Days Cel-
ebration, call the Chamber of-
fice and I will be glad to pick
them up so they can be given
out.

your choice of retirement month

Shots rang out in Savannah's
grandest mansion in the misty,
early morning hours of May 2,
1981. Was it murder or self-
defense? For nearly a" decade
the shooting and its aftermath
reverberated throughout this
hauntingly beautiful city of
moss-hung oaks and shaded
squares. John Berendt's
sharply observed, suspenseful,
and witty narrative reads like a
thoroughly engrossing novel.,
and yet it is a work of nonfic-
tion. Berendt skillfully inter-
weaves a hugely entertaining
first-person account of life in
this isolated remnant of the
Old South with the unpredict-
able twists and turns of a land-
mark murder case. It is a spell-
binding story peopled by a gal-
lery of remarkable characters:
the well-bred society ladies of
the Married Woman's Card
Club: the turbulent young
redneck gigolo; the hapless re-
cluse who owns a bottle of poi-
son so powerful it could kill
every man, woman and child in
Savannah; the aging and pro-
fane Southern belle who is the
"soul of pampered self-absorp-
tion": the uproariously funny
black drag queen; the acerbic
and arrogant antiques dealer:
the sweet-talking, piano-play-
ing con artist; young blacks
dancing the minuet at the black
debutante ball; and Minerva,
the voodoo priestess who works
her magic in the graveyard at
midnight. These and other
Savannahians act as a Greek
chorus, with Berendt revealing
the alliances, hostilities and
intrigues that thrive in a town
where everyone knows every-
one else. Midnight in the Gar-
den of Good and Evil: A Savan-
nah Story is a sublime and
seductive reading experience.
Brilliantly conceived and mas-
terfully written, this enor-
mously engaging portrait of a
most beguiling Souther city is
certain to become a modern
classic. Check this compelling
true story out at the Archer
Public Library.

able for public use on Septem-

We’re open Columbus Day because
Chris would have wanted it that way.
Christopher Columbus understood you don’t get things done by taking the day off. Heck, if he’d taken
as many days off as most banks, we’d all still be living in an undiscovered country. And that would really
be inconvenient No, Columbus worked hard, just like NorwestWe’re open because we know that most
other people are, too. People who need a bank even on October 13th. So if you appreciate the same
kind of work ethic that opened up the New World, you’ll appreciate Norwest Discover us today.
