Road Markers Visit Us
On Saturday aftenoon of la~t
week a couple of good roads
boosting cars came to our city
labeled "Joplin to Denver”. The
cars contained the Hockaday
brothers and their troop of boost
ers from Wichita, Kansas, who
were searching the country over
for a good location to establish a
good highway leading from
Miami, Florida, to Seattle, Wash.
It was only a short time until our
local Commercial Club got busy
and met these gentlemen and
learned their mission and con
vinced them that via Cheyenne
Wells was the logical way to
direct the route as far as Denver.
The party wrs so taken up with
our highways that they readily
consented that this would be the
route of their marning.
James Curtis, our hustling
little road builder, and secretary
of the “G. P. & C." association,
went up to Julesburg, Colo., this
morning where he will attend a
meeting of the association. Jim
went up loaded to the teeth with
4.000 membership cards that our
job department had turned out
for the association and we are ex
pecting him home with that
many dollars, as the cards call
for one dollar a piece to become
a member. We are sure there
is not a man dr woman in our
county that would not gladly
give up a dollar to help keep up
this highway and enjoy a good
ride some afternoon over a good
smooth road.
The Cheyenne County Fair
heads held a meeting at the court
house last Tuesday evening for
the purpose of further completion
of the program. The meeting
was not very well attended by
the committee men and women
who should have turned out to
[discuss the matters, but those
who were there worked intelli
gently and accomplished some
headway. Another meeting wi:l
be held in about two weeks and
it is hoped that all the commit
tees will be present as there is
some important work to do.
Donald DeMunbrun, who since
leaving our city a year or two

and many friends here.

birthday. Those present report
the occasion a laborate one and
that all present enjoyed them
selves immensely.
Daniels & Furgeson have in
the past ten days taken over the
mechanical end of the Hollen
baugh Brothers garage. These
two boys are both good workmen
and will no doubt enjoy a good
patronage. Success to you.
In a special wire to the Record
Wednesday from good authority
at Arapahoe, it was learned that
the Chautauqua which had just
closed was a big success, socially
a3 well as financially.

■ A. E. HOWEIjL, Secretary.
Cap. Chas. Beeler, of Hugo,
was in our city a couple of days
this week on business connected
with that of his choice—a lawyer.
Cap. hit town Sunday evening
just in time to have a square
meal with Commercial club mem
bers and their guests, the Joplin
Denver Highway boosters, who
were here on good roads matters.
Now we all know Cap is a good
booster for his home town and he
never fails to put in a good word
when he has a chance, he also
has the interests in good roads
that a person ought to have and
gave us a mighty good address
along this line.
Mr. W. O. Compber was a
pleasant visitor in Cheyenne
Wells thp latter part of last week
with his sons, "Had” and Dewey
and his many old time friends
here. Mr. Compher was very
well pleased with the prospects
of this locality for a bumper
crop and the up building of our
little city. He too, has the big
bug in his bonnet of "coming
back”. They all are!
Claude Shriner paid this office
a pleasant visit the latter part
of last week and while here in
formed us that he had discontin
ued his truck line between here
and Denver for the present at
least. Claude gives as his reason
for quiting, unfavorable condi
tion of roads on the west end of
his route, he says that they are
in such a shape that when a little
rain hits them the bottom goes
out completely and it is impos
sible to put a load over them.
He expects to resume operations
again in the near future.
We wish to express our thanks
to kind friends and neighbors
who so generally assisted us
i since the loss-of our home by lire.
