geSting that when the Denver,
Kansas 81 Gulf railroad is complet-
ed to Medicine Lodge, the city
give a "home coming" to former
Barber county people. Mr.. Axline
at once took the matter up with
the citizens and the idea was re-
celved SO enthusiastically that a
meeting was called Thursday night
to discuss the matter. Although
the meeting was called on short
notice some twenty or thirty re-
spOnded and it was unanimously
decided to prepare to receive the
visitors as suggested by Mr.. Nc

committee on arrangements was
appointed, and an adjournment
taken until Monday night:

At the meeting Monday night

made the following report:
After consideration we recon-
mend that the BarberC County Home

OF meeting visitors at the trains,
speaking, music and a basket pic
mic, with barbecued or other cook
ed beef, in the court house grounds.
