Another Buzz Wagon in
Town

Mr.. Taylor last week returned
from EIPaso, where he went to
purchase an automobile. which
he succeeded in doing. He is now
the proud owner of a twenty-five
horsepower Studebaker; with his
usual caution, Mr.. Taylor took
along with him to the Pass City,
a man who was familiar with
such contraptions as is an auto
mobile. Mr.. Coils was the chaff-
eur from ElPaso to Duncan. Mr..
Taylor will soon, in his new pur-
chase, journey to the Salt River
Valley country; it is probable that
he will not engage in active busi-
ness for a year, feeling that he
is entitled to a long rest from his
many years in the commercial
lifeof duncan. He will probably
locate in Phoenix.

VIII We Get the Highway

There is said to be good grounds
for the belief that Duncan will
soon be on the main line of the
Southern Pacific Railway. We
have heavenly spot, as it is, but
the advent of another railway
would make of Duncan a place
more delightful still. When the
Ocean to Ocean Highway once
comes through our city, we will
be able to witness the beauties
of Duncan enjoyed by many,
strangers, who would soon be
counted as familiar citizens, for
once they saw the advantages Of
which we are possessed, they,
in all probability would never
be satisfied until they had secur-
ed a home in Duncan. Come to
Duncan.

RIllingsley Sent to Birm-
ingham

The meeting at the Bank of
Ddncan last Thursday night was
largely attended. This meeting
wis for the purpose Of deciding
whether the citizens should don
ate money Cor the porpose of send
ing a representative of Duncan
to- the Birmingham Good Roads
convention. The unanimous opin-
ion OF those present was that a
delegate should be sent, as Mr..
Potter. of Clifton, sent Mr.. Bill
.ingsley complete information as
to the objects of the convention.
Mr, Billingsley was chosen as the
delegate, and will leave for Birm-
ingham, probably Sunday morn
Ting. The citizens could not have
chosen a man better fitted to rep
resent them than is Mr., Billing
lsley. 1t will indeed be boon
for Duncan, should the Ocean to
ocean Highway come through
our city, Undoubtedly, it would
mean much profit to us, in that
many supplies would be sold the
travellers 1t would also necessi-
tate the erection of a large garage,
which no doubt, would be kept
busy in repairing automobiles.

A Happy Union

A pleasant surprise to the peo-
pie of Duncan was the arrival in
Duncan of Mrs. P. w. Wilkey,
the citizens being of the opinion
that Mr.. Wilkey, who has lately
come to our city had not commit
ed the ordeal of nlatrilnony. Mr..
Wiley is congratulated in his
conquest; it is not often that man
is favored with such good torture
as Mr.. Wilkey has gained. These
happy young people are a desir-
able acquisition to our citv
