CALL FOR IT.
Kennedy's
Good Roods Convention.
At, the request of W. H. Moore,
president of the National Good Roads
Association, the Events invites all in-
terested in this county to attend the
Twin-Territorial (lood Roads Conven-
tion, to he held at Oklahoma City,
Friday and Saturday. October 28 and
29. It is proposed to made this con-
vention the most representative ever
held in the two territories and an at-
tendance of Jhoiisands is expected. A
round-trip rate of one tare plus 25c
will be made from all points within
100 miles of Oklahoma City. The
special '"Good Roads" train furnished
by the Frisco System will arrive the
morning of the 28th prepared to give
demonstrations in the art of good
road building. A two days' program
has been arranged hy the Chamber of
Commerce of Oklahoma City in con-
nection with the program of the Ag-
ricultural Convention, which is an-
nounced for the siuiie date. The ob-
ject of the (lood l'oads Convention is
to educate the people, county com-
missioners, road overseers and far-
mers in the act of conducting and
maintaining good roads. The county
commissioners of Oklahoma county,
mayor, city officials and merchants of
Oklahoma City are taking a vital in-
terest in this proposition and are ex-
tending a general invitation to the
county commissioners, road overseers
and other county and township offic-
ials of the territory and to the mayors
and councilmen of other cities and
towns and tothe farmers and business
men generally of every locality in I he
two territories to be present.

day afternoon, at-a quiet, little wed-
ding which was celebrated in his pri-
vate office, and has only just become
public. The contracting parties were

ritt Shores, both of Highland, Okla-
homa. The groom is one of High-
land's best and most prosperous citi-
zens, and the bride is one of the most
estimable youug ladies of that com-
munity. They were attended by Mr.

Odd Fellow
Grand Lodge
A Great Gathering of Oklahoma
Citizens.
I The Grand Ltdgfe 1. <). O. K. just
j dosed intliis city, was one of the
S best and most satisfactory in t lie his-
tory of that great order in Oklahoma
The welcome and entertainment ex-
tended by Enid's people lias never
been surpassed and rarely equalled
anywhere in the territory before.
Hnid's people appreciated the value
of their visitors and showed them
every courtesy possible, so much so
that the visitors all went away sing-
ing loud praises of Enid's hospitality.
And the I. O.O. E. Grand Lodge is
a gathering to be appreciated. Under
the laws of the order each represen-
tative recieves two dollars per day
and ten cents per mile as mileage.
There are over four hundred repre-
sentations to Hie Grand Lodge alone,
to say nothing of the Encampment,
Eebekah's and Patriarch., Militant,
and thus it is show n lliat it costs over
a thousand dollars per day to con-
duct the Grand Lodge. There were
in all about 11(H) members of t lie Odd
Fellows branches here last week and
a conservative estimate of the am-
ount of money left in the city bv
them during the six days would be
$12,000. It will thus be seen that
Enid is financially better off for her
hospitality.
The Odd Fellows pay as they go.
They don't w ant something for noth-
ing, and the result is, they always
secure the best.
The week was one of crowded st reets
and honest faces. It required the
Odd Fellows hall, the opera house.
the Eagle hall and the Masonic tem-
ple to accommodate the visitors in
their lodge operations.
While indirectly the people of Enid
deserve commendation for properly
handling our visitors, yet derectly
the members of the local Odd Fellows
lodge is entitled to great praise for
their hard work and individual effort
for the successful entertainment of
the Grand Lodge.
In his welcome address W. K. Har-
rison stated the feelings of Enid's
people regarding the Grand Lodge.
and Harrison did so admirably, And
no less did Grant Yeakey in behalf
of the Enid Lodge.
Probably the feature of the week
was the big Grand Lodge parade
Thursday. Owingto the fact that the
Enid band, which had been previous-
ly engaged went to St. Louis, the par-
ade was denied proper music, never-
theless it was very beautifully arrang-
ed and carried out. The first platoon
was eseortod by a division of Patri
arch* Militant and consisted of meni-
beas of the Grand Lodge and Grand
Encampment, and two floats, repre-
sentative of tlie order.
The second platoon was escorted by
a second division of Patriarchs and
consisted of members of the Hebe-
kalis Assembly: also floats represent-
ing the Orphans Home.
In all the parade was a solid mov-
ing mass of humanity four bloc Ik
long. The glittering uniforms of the
Patriarchs J/i I it ant and their splen-
did drills under the directionjof major
Woolsey. was inspiring.
After parading around the square
tlie entire company formed in triple
links around the band stand, consti-
tuting a brilliant spectacle. The
links were then broken in regular or-
der and the members of the Grand
Lodge marched to their various head-
quarters,
Owing to the fact that the most ol'

cret and the sessions were held be-1 against a hard proposititioii if be

After the demonstration by the

team gave the drill work.
There is little more to say. All the
visitors were well pleased with the
intertainment and Enid was glad
they were here.

Receiver Appointed.
Judge Beauchamp appointed Frank
Bra dtield receiver of the Bridge
plant last week. The affairs of that
institution are still considerably
mixed. Receiver Bradtield who has
qualified, has been given authority
over the Wichita bridge plant as
well, ft will be remembered that
the Wichita courts appointed J. II.
Sims, as Receiver of the bridge com-
pany and gave him authority over
the Enid plant. Thus is a conflict of
authority.
It is claimed by those who are sup-
posed to know, that the Wichita
judge had no authority to appoint a
receiver for the local plant and Mr,
Bradtield will not recognize his au-
thority in any particular. It is quite
probable that Mr. Sims may run lip
