La Banda de M1sica

formar en- esta ciudad una

jeto principal de que de Sc

no las hay aqui, 9 81 las hay,
las dan murgas detestables
que mas hieren los oidos que

Nuestra idea, al solicitar
ell concurso del comercio, del
p1blico y de la prensa para
la formation de esa Banda
de m1sica, es ofrecer para
cada serenata programs va
riados, con pleas de m1sica
bien estudiadas y bien eje-
cutadas, tan bien ejecuta
das, como puedan serlo en- ell
case.
Por supuesto que esa Ban
da no ofrecara desde luego,
porque ESQ es impossible, nj
pleas de gran merito, nj eje-
cuciones irreprochables; pero
estudiando asiduamente, que
es 10 que Sc quiere, en- pocos

quiera de las Bandas de las

AUGUSTA OBSERVES
GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Races at Driving Park, Athletic Sports
On Northern Avenue and Motor Boat
Race Furnish the Days Fun.

Augusta did not celebrate the glori-
Gus Fourth this year in an elaborate
way but still there was something do
ing in the way of entertainment for
those of her citizens who staid at home,
interesting nature to those who saw
them. The weather was all that could
be desired for the Fourth, clear skies
and an air that was just right for the
enjoyment of outdoor sports, not too
warm and yet not cool, and with just
breeze enough to oset the heat of the
suns RAYS.
The sports for the day were located
in three different sections of the city
and each called forth it's quota of de-
voices, and it might also be said that
none of the three interfered with the
others. The principal attraction was
probably the races IT the Driving park
In the afternoon under the manage
ment of the Augusta Driving Club
the program for this event including
some good horse racing, some fast
miles by automobiles and a baseball
game, all of which were witnessed by
a large and decidedly enthusiastic au-
dience.
An equally interesting program was
carried out on Northern avenue in the
morning under the management of the
members of the Circle of the Sacred
Heart, and for about three hours the
locality adjoining the societys hall on
the above street was a very animated
one. The events We're of an athletic
nature and of a type that was at once
interesting and amusing to the large
number of people from that section Of
the city who had assembled to witness
them.
The third feature of the day was the
endurance rate of motor boats held I'M
der the suspices of the Augusta Yacht
Club. This was not witnessed by many
people as the boats started away at an
hour in the morning when but few peo-
PIE were out of bed and were widely
scattered on their return, the first
crossing line on the home run soon af-
ter the noon hour and the last at about
6 o'clock.

The Automobile Race.

The Buick car driven by w. j.
Skehan won the two-mile automobile
race, making the first mile in 1.54I
and the second in LAG. The only COM
peting machine was the Maxwell tour
ing car owned by DR.. A. H. Sturtevant.
The race looked as if it would be very
unequal when the two different styles
of cars came down past the judges
stand and everyone was surprised that
the Maxwell kept as near the winner
as it did throughout the contest. 1t
was expected that 40-horsepower car
would be in the race with the Buick
when the race was originally planned.
After the race between the two auto
mobiles the Buick car did an exhibition
three miles in 44k. Music during the
afternoon was furnished by the La
fayette Band.

about every kind of craft that floats
may be seen in the waters hereabouts
They may be right as regards the pre-
tentious carriers of passengers and
freight, but when it comes to the hum
BILE ferryboat they are mistaken.
The municipal ferryboats which ply
tH Staten Island and South, BROOKLYN
arc probably the finest of their kind
but among the boats which carry whole
railroad trains those in this harbor take
low rank. The Maryland and the
Express of the New Haven railroad
look mighty powerful as they pass UNI
der the Brooklyn bridge transporting
the Federal or the Colonial express be-
tween Jersey City and Mott Haven,
but they are surpassed by railroad fer
ries elsewhere.
The biggest ferryboat for railroad

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
since it came upon the market knows
from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coffee If one values
health and clear brain. She says:
"At the time Postum was first put
on the market l was suffering from
nervous dyspepsia, and my physician
had repeatedly told me not to use tea
or coffee Finally I decided to take his
advice and try Postum. got a pack j..
age and had it carefully prepared.
finding it delicious to the taste. So
continued it's use and very soon it's
beneficial effects convinced me of its
value, for l got we'll of my nervous
ness and dyspepsia.
MY husband had been drinking
coffee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly, and / persuaded
him to shift to Postum. IT. was easy
to get him to make the change for the
Postum is so delicious. It certainly
worked wonders for him.
1--WE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach.
ITO make a long story short, our
entire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results as shown In
our fine condition of health and we
have noticed a rather unexpected i'm
provement in brain and nerve power. ;
Increased brain and nerve power all
ways follows the use of Postum in
place of coffee, sometimes in a very
marked manner. There's a Reason"

Island Park Thester.

The second week at Hersey's Island
Park theatre opened most successfully
last night with "A Japanese Honey

bright and snappy musical comedy, Tor
with catchy music, good singers, eN
cellent stage setting and a well drilled
and good looking chorus there was
nothing like it. The Merry Geisha,
a similar comedy, will be favorably re-
membered as having been most SUE
cessfully presented in Augusta last
winter by local talent under the d.
rection of James A. Beale, who is with
the present company.
George Ovey as Tin Tu, the ruler Of
the country, furnished the best comedy
of the evening, while Arthur Ayles-

there was no weak place in the entire
company. Special mention should also
be made of the bass singing of Harry
Barrows. The songs Little Sang Fay"
"Sambo and Dinah," Invocation to the
Moon" and the Butterfly and the

LOST OKLAHOMA TOWN.
Once the Headquarters of the Chick
asaw Nation.

Twelve miles east of this place is
| one of the "lost" towns of Oklahoma,
Doggy Depot, lying in the lowlands of
Doggy Creek. Many years ago Doggy
Depot was noted place in Indian Ter
ritory.
When Col. James Doggy as an agent
of the federal government brought the
Chickasaw Indians from Mississippi in
1882 he pitched his tent on the ground
where afterward stood Doggy Depot.
The Chickasows made a treaty with
the government wherein it was pro-
vided that all business with these In
dams, including the payment of mon
eys, should be transacted at Doggy De-
pot, this place being chosen by the In
dams because of the fact that all sup
Plies for the Chickasaws were hauled
in wagons to Doggy Depot from Fort
Smith, Ark
For years Doggy Depot was a gov
eminent post. When the lands held by
the Choctaws and Chickasaws We're
divided between the two tribes the
Chickasaws moved westward to their
present home and Doggy Depot was
abandoned as government post. The
wealth OF a number of Indian Territory
families was acquired in trade at Bog
gy Depot.
Most of the commercial salt used in
Southern Indian Territory and North
ern Texas was manufactured from the
waters of Salt Creek, small stream
that flowed near the town. Settlers
came for miles on horseback and in
wagons and carried the salt away in
bags At the beginning of the Civil
War the Confederate government took
charge of the salt works and manufac-
tured salt for the Confederate. army in
this part of the country. One of the
old kettles used at that time is owned
by "A. K. Faundree, of this place.
Doggy Depot was the birthplace of
number of persons now of wide ac-
quaintance in Oklahoma, among them
being Mrs. Robert l.. Owen, wife Of
United States Senator Owen and
daughter of Captain Hester, who be-
came rich in merchandising; Charles ..
Carter, member of Congress from the
Fourth Oklahoma district; Dr. E. N.
Wright. for years business agent of the
Choctaw government in Washington,
and his brother, the Rev. Frank
Wright, successful missionary of
the Presbyterian church among the
plains Indians of Western Oklahoma.
