EndeavOring to Settle.

Those who have the matter of com. pleting the Elks Building in charge are still in correspondence with Jones & Harrington, the original contract ors, in an endeayor to settle with them in an amicable way whatever damages they may have sustained in having to interrupt their work, move their men and materials, etc, and with the hope that they will be reasonable and return here and finish their contract. The term of Chan cery court, in which suit has been filed by the aforesaid contractors, will meet soon, and the Elks are hoping to get the matter settled before 1t gets into court. We understand that the Elks have offered to pay Jones & Har- rington $500 in full of damages, and 1t seems to us, this is very reason. able and liberal offer, to the best of our information. We certainly hope Jones & Harrington will see it in that way, be as liberal as possible, and that they will return and complete the job as soon as possible.

Assessor John NJ. Nichols informed a Times man Tuesday that MT. Henry smith, at Wheatley, had loaned to MT. Jake Taylor, efficient County Road Superintendent, traction en- zine, and that an experiment. will be made with It on the road from Wheat ley to the Woodruff county line, this week. II 1t Is a success, the prob. ability is that Judge Rolfe may pur- chase an engine for general use on the roads of the county. There is no doubt that with an engine of this kind much of the heavy work would be taken of the mules, and that much more of 1t can be done, and that when the big blows pulled by the engine loosen up the ground the teams could then move It two or three times as rapidly. It seems to the writer a very good thing to have, but of course we are not very familiar with this kind of work, and Mir. Taylor will be the best judge Of It's practicability.
