Oklahoma Automobile Route This Way Last Thursday evening a party of about thirty strong, consisting of the good businessmen from Holly. Bristol and Sheridan Lake, stormed in on us for the purpose of informing the live wires of this city of a new proposed high way route that was being estab lished from Oklahoma City to Denver and which had already been routed as far as Holly These men, having a brotherly feeling for their sister city to the north of them (ourtown) decided to come up here and let us know all about this route and try and pursuade our boys to head the new route this way over our G. P. C. Highway, of course that is the only logical route for the new highway and naturally, it must come this way. Help Our High School Library! All book3 and back numbers of magazines donated to the High School Library, will certainly be appreciated by the students and faculty of the C. C. H. S.

At the livestock sale held at' the fair grounds on Friday, two weeks ago, I. F. Jones decided that he wanted to go into the nog business (at least that is the way it looks to us) as he pur chased about ten head of those < ; fine exhibition hogs. He did not 1 I confine himself to one certain j breed eyther, for he purchased a few Duroc- Jerseys, a couple with the white belt nnd two or three Chester-Whites. Guess he fig ured if one didn’t matte good, the other would—hey, Ike? F. H. Murdock, a representa tive from the Matheson coal mine over in Elbert county, spent the latter pai t of last week in this , city on business connected with his company. The Record force is quite well acquainted with Mr. Murdock having made his ac quaintance o\er in the Arkansas Valley, nnd as a result we had the pleasure of enjoying a very ; nice visit—talking about our old valley friends.
