A Delightful Entertainment At
The Avalon Tuesday
Night. 30
NASHVILLE AND CITY TALENT
ReCitatiOnS And Musical Num-
berS Will Please
Everybody.

Every public spirited citizen ad-
mires the enterprise of Thos. L.
Metcalfe, the man who is putting
the young men of the city in the
way of having a first-class gymna-
stun. their greatest need. Every
body should second the efforts of
MIR. Metcalfe and do his part to-
ward finishing the gymnasium and
properly equipping it. Next Tues
day night they will have an oppor-
tunity Of doing so in a material way
and not feel any poorer by doing so.
On Tuesday night a musicale and
recitations will be given at the Ava
Ion. Mr.. Metcalfe had fixed upon
Monday night for the entertain
ment, but with his usual courtesy he
chose Tuesday night, as Co. D.
wanted to open their new armory
with demonstration Monday night.
Mr.. Metcalfe not only gave way to
the soldiers boys but entered into
their arrangements with his char
acteristic liberality and told them
that he would distribute flowers
among the ladies who will gather at
the armory to witness the exhibition
and competitive drills.
The entertainment at the Avalon
will be magnificent affair and will
merit the patronage of every citizen.
Some of the best talent of the city
will appear on the occasion. Nash
vile talent has also been secured,
and the musical features of the
program will no doubt draw large
proportion of the big crowd that is
expected to be present. Mrs. A. B.
Anderson, of Nashville, the most
accomplished violinist Hopkinsville
has ever produc d, will fill several
numbers. Mrs. Samuel D. Clark,
one of Nashville's sweetest singers,
will be heard in a number OF choice
selections. Miss Sue Camp, of
Nashville, a pianist of wide repu-
tation, who has been heard here on
previous occasions. will preside at
the instrument. Miss Corrine Par
rent, Hopkinsville's gifted reader,
will render some numbers.
With such feast of good things
offered for a small admission fee,
and which will in no way benefit the
generous owner of the Avalon, there
is every reason to believe that the
evenings entertainment will pass off
with great eclat and a handsome sum
be realized towards completing the
gymnasium building and equipping
it. The price of tickets is so cents
for adults and 25 cents for children
under 10. Let everybody come to
the aid of Mr.. Metcalfe in his efforts
to give to the young men something
that will make them stronger physi--
ally, which means more strength
mentally. The need of a gymna-
stun has long been felt and many
efforts to secure it have fallen to the
ground, but if the people will en-.
courage Mr.. Metcalfe the thing is
assured.

TOBACCO
The Local Market BuOyant and
Prices Unchanged.

There was no apparent let up in
deliveries until the middle of the
week on account of the great change
in weather conditions. The deliver
iers from distant counties were
checked considerably on account OF
the swollen streams and storms. The
equinoctial storms have apparently
run their course and yesterday an
increase of deliveries was noticeable.
1t is estimated that about 67 per
cent. of the county crop has been
delivered. but there is no data on
which to base a calculation as to the
quantity yet to be brought here from
other counties, but the indications
are that it will be coming in in large
quantities for several weeks yet. A
conservative estimate of the amount
of loose tobacco to be handled here
this year puts the figures at 9.000.-
600 pounds. The deliveries thus far
amount to 6.669. 900. leaving $780,
600 pounds yet to be brought in.

Plan FOR
NJ In u TIE
MARKETS
Steps Taken Toward Organizing
Cotton and Grain Exchange
with Direct Wires to Cen
ters Of Trade

If plans which are under way and
which We're furthered at a meeting OF
leading cotton and grain men yester-
day, are carried out by the first of
September Chickasha will have cot
ton and grain exchange, with direct
wires to the market centers, receiving
market reports every minute
The purpose OF the proposed organi-
zation is to enable the local concerns
to keep in closer touch with the mar
kets, not for speculative purposes. but
merely to give them the benefit Of
knowing the conditions and operations
on the various exchanges az every
minute
The plan under consideration con.
templates direct wires to New York
Chicago and New Orleans furnishing
constantly the quotations on grain, cot
ton and cotton seed products as vel
as provisions, stocks, etc. IN the
event the plan is carried out Chicka
sha will be the only town in Oklahoma
having such a market service, makins
this city a more advantageous poin
for cotton and grain business.
