A meeting of the director* "t the
Wildnuii Central ami Wichita
Mouutum lailroad #ud local citucn*
wa* belt! at the Miller oprra bou*v
Thursday night to consider l«rti*ic *
nig tbe road to tbl* town. J. 0
Chrtioweth pte»ided, ami talk* were
mailr by F. K Wiltlman. Mr.
Tread well, an attuiney lor tbe pro-
moter-. and Mr. Southwood, ol Kl*
dorado. Mo. Their proportion to
Altu* in for $25,000 when the road
incompleted. iud tea mile* of right
of way on rub tide ol tbe town.
Tbe road will conic in from tbe
east near the irrigation dam and
will guout toward* Hollis, if thin
proposition in accepted.
The big Farmers' Union picnic
at Victory came off according to
program Friday, and a great many
]*eople from Altus attended besides
tbe entire countryside of that im-
mediate neighborhood. The pro-
moters of the event took particular
]>ains to see that everybody was
well provided for, and there was
water and shade in abundance for
all who had teams to take care of.
The wives of ti* members of tbe
Farmers' Union also took pains to
see that there was plenty to eat on
the grounds, and judging from the
fried chicken devoured there must
have been terrible mortality among
the leathered tribe for several clays
previous. There was an abundance
of other good things to eat as well,
and no one was allowed to go
hungry.
The Times editor made tbe ac-
quaintance of and shook hands with
County Commissioner J.J. Adams,
of Granite. Monday, who came
down to Altus at the request of
Commissioner Aycock to take a
look at the Salt Fork bridge west
of town, and see what can be done
towards putting it in condition.
Mr. Adams is a genial, pleasant
gentleman, and not half a bad fel-
low when you come to know him.
He gave the editor some good ad-
vice, gratis, and suggested that he
tell the truth occasionally in writ-
ing about the commissioners and
thecourthou.se, for all of which,
of course, we feel duly grateful.
Mr. Adams met quite a number, of
our business men in a social way,
who hope he will favor us with an-
other visit soon, and get well ac-
quainted with us so that more cor-
dial relations may exist.
