GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.
Will Convene at Hobart Thursday,
October 12.
From indications at' this early date
the good roads convention to be held
at Hobart, Thursday, October 12,
promises to eclipse any like event ever
held in the state. Already several of
the towns have selected their delegates
to attend the meeting, to which every
town is given an unlimited representa-
tion.
It the present plans, as contemplated,
go through, state aid, and probably as-
sistance from the government, will be
secured in building this road and (or its
maintenance.
The convention convenes in the Ho-
bart opera house aW 10 o'clock, aud a
special feature will be music by the
Hobart baud, which played their sec-
ond year's engagement at the state fair
this week.

LOSE ALL THREE GAMES.
-***
Gotebo Ball Team Unable to Win from
Hobart in Last Games of Season.
The Gotebo ball team failed to win
any one of three games played at Ho-
bart against the county seat team, al-
though the winners knew that they had
been to a ball game. While the teams
were evenly matched, the luck of the
play was always on the side of Hobart.
The following were the scores:
Friday's game—Hobart 8, Gotebo 7;
Saturday—Hobart 13, Gotebo 9; Sun-
^ day —Hobart 13, Gotebo 12.
State Tax Fixed at 2 Mills.
The state board of equalisation at its
meeting at Oklahoma City Monday fix
ed the amount of the state levy at 2
mills instead of at the legal limit of
mills as was expected. However, no
provision was made for taking care of
the indebtedness inherited from the pre-
ceding administration, which exceeds
two millions of dollars. The board will
recommend to the legislature that fund-
ing bonds be issued to care for this in-
debtedness.
Mrs. J. M. Huber of Hobart was in
the city Monday.

Why We're Selling Wire
While many merchants have complained about
buriness being dull, the Dellinger Hardware has been
busy shipping in goods and selling them to its many
customers. Last week we unloaded a car of wire and
sold half of it in four days. We want to sell you
some. You need it, don't you? That leads us to the
reason why we're selling wire while others are not.
And there is a reason—
"High Quality, Low Price"
Why They Bought Henny Buggies
Within the last few weeks several families of Ger-
mans have left thta section and moved to Carlsbad, N.
Mex. Their best stock and implements they took with
them. And to each of them Dellinger Bros. & Co.
sold a splendid, new Henney Buggy. There must
have been a reason. There was a reason—
"High-Grade Buggy, Moderate Price"
Maybe You need a Buggy, let Dellinger's sell You

Fire supposed to have originated
from a pile of cinders at the engine
bouse of the Farmers' Gin completely
destroyed the plant early Thursday
-morning.
The watchman, Bert Sheldon, was at
work on a seed conveyor in the front
of the gin during the night and the fire
had quite a headway when he discover-
ed it. He sent in an alarm, but when
the department arrived the whole
structure was beyond hope of salvage,
and was soon reduced to a heap of
cinders and twisted scrap iron.
The gin house, office, coal and coal
sbed were saved, and it is thought that
the damage to the engine and boiler
will be slight.
The plant was completely rebuilt this
fall and all of the gin machinery was
new.
The loss will be approximately $10,
000 with $6,000 insurance.
The directors were in session Thurs
day afternoon and decided to rebuild
at once, and if there is no hitch in
getting the machinery on the ground
tbe new plant will be ginning cotton i
-two weeks.
The loss is a severe one, not only to
the stockholders, but to the town as
well. _

latives circles and prices slumped 19
points on the strength of it.
