Along The Line

At Guymon, the farmers last
season were promised a cotton gin
if they would get a cotton crop
this year. This season the pros
poets for a large crop are good,
and it came up to the merchants
of Guymon to make their promise
good. Collectively, they hated to
dig up the money this year, so E.
G Summers of the Summers 6
Sons big store there took the mat
ter in hand, and last week let a
contract for a cotton gin. 1t is
asserted by Guymon that the
Hooker gin has always charged an
exhorbitant price for ginning cot
ton, which will probably precipi-
tate another gruelling battle be-
tween those two towns. The en-
terprise of Mr. Summers in this
matter is commendable, and the
suggestion for a similar institu-
ton might be prolitably taken by
some one in the town of Liberal.
In Hooker business is slow and
the greater part of the population
is spending each day as it comes,
sitting around the big well drill,
sympathizing with themselves, and
waiting for the artesian well to
come in and make them rich.
Tyrone hasn't had a very good
crop this year either, and there
the farmers are coming to town
with hard luck stories, and watch
ing the town fellows sit around on
the sidewalk and play checkers.
Dodge City has been spending a
great deal of time and energy the
past week entertaining the old
soldiers, and it is, to our notion,
time and money we'll spent. Most
people say the affair was very
successful.
Pratt is having her big county
fair, this year being held on Au-
gust 15-16-17-18. Editor Gebhart
of the Union has again shown
great courtesy to the newspaper
boys of this territory by sending
them all passes for the fair, and a
personal invitation to attend. They
don't make many fellows like Geb-
hart, and still fewer of them are
ever appreciated, but Pratt see ms
to haye both the man and the ap-
probation of a man of calibre-a
mighty fine thing.
