appreciated their visit. The Methodist
church was loaned to them for their
sessions and many other things done
for their comfort, but it is not for us
to brag of what we did.
Senator J. S. Morris told the dele-
gates our estimate of them and their
work. This was ably responded to by
John Shields for the Union. This was
the only open session the rest were
business meetings. As we have been
promised a report of the meeting by
the secretary we will not try to review
lheir work here, we will wait for his
report. One good thing though mitfht
be told here and that is their work of
destroying the farmer's pests. At a
previous meeting they offered a prize
for the local that caught the largest
number of ground squirrels and jack
rabbits, the catches to be evidenced by
a display of ears and tails at this
meeting. The contest resulted in the
slaughter of 8000, the prize being taken
by Nabisco, they having killed 2000 of
the 8000 caught.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
resolutions
Resolved: That a vote of thanks
be tendered to the people of Hooker
and vicinity for the kind treatment
shown the delegates attending the
County Farmers Union.
Also to the good people for the use
of their church, and especially to the
commercial club and business men of
Hooker for their generosity in liquid-
ating all expense for the Union during
its two days session.
We also regret that we could not at-
tend the ball game given for our en-
tertainment.

Streets Crowded Monday
Coming immediately after the two
big Farmers Union days it was hardly
expected that Trade day would draw
a large crowd but it did. The people
were here from far and near—came
early and stayed all day. There was
plenty of stuff here to sell too. It
was mostlv small stuff, hogs, house-
hold goods and miscellaneous articles.
The bidding was none too good and
some people were quite disappointed
at the prices' they got for pigs. Stock
hogs are cheap in these parts.

One of the interesting features of the
day was the colt show of colts sired
by Dewey, the big stallion formerly
owned by W. A. Warnock. now by
N. B. Norton. Considering Ihe fact

There are other things along the line
that should be done.

Line Up For Hooker
There was a well attended meeting
of the Commercial Club of Hooker
last night at which the many import
ant problems that are ever incident to
town building were discussed in a
thoroughly business way. The club
is now pushing forward in a thorough-
ly business way and acting as it is in
harmony with the city officials there is
sure to be good accomplished. Every
man interested in the future of the town
should be a member and add his help
and counsel to that already in the
harness. You know the power of
numbers and the accumulation of
units. J. S. Morris is the secretary,
hand him your name.

She was laid to rest Wednesday

horsemen present.
Later a race was matched between
the Marshall colt and the Browning
colt to take place at the fair grounds
two weeks from that date. This
promises to be a good race as the
colts are both well bred and likely j
racers and the owners are going in to
win.
Remember the time and the place
and if you want to see a good race be
at the fair grounds next Saturday,
Sept. 19 1908.
Many Thanks
To all those who so kindly rendered
help and sympathy to our wife and
daughter and thus helped to make her
last hours as comfortable as they
could be made, we extend our most
sincere and grateful thanks.

Just a Reminder
Just as a gentle reminder that
Hooker had a fire some time ago and
as yet has not supplied itself with pro-
per safeguards against a recurrence
of the same. A little blaze got started
from a gasoline lamp at Bob's store
last night and made sufficient headway
to cause considerable excitement. It
must have occurred trom an over-pres-
sure on the lamp. It was soon rem-
edied, but the small flicker was suf-
ficient evidence that the fiend is not
yet subdued, but is lingering near
ready to again come forth and again
char the town. "An ounce of preven-
tion is worth a pound of cure."
Hooker Boys Play Ball
As there was no outsidn ball team on
hand to play against Hooker when the
time came for the game advertised for
last Friday two nines were organized
of local boys which took the form of
a picked up nine against the regular
team as can be seen by the line up.
Risen pitched the first game and did
good work although it was the lirst
time he his ever been up against the
real thing. Hoole and Albright also
did .good work at short and second
and the way the boys used their heads
in a light place showed that \\v have
some players coming on. Harring-
ton's fielding was the feature of the
second game. The lineup and score
was as follows:
