PL A n HOUSE
DIRECTORS WANT HOUSE CON-
PLETED BY THANKSGIVING
DAY. PUTTING CONTEST HELD
YesTEROAY-GooD CROWD.

The Dornick Hill Country Club are
planning to have their new club house
completed so that a house warming
may be had Thanksgiving day. The
plans have been drawn and the di-
rectors will let the contract within
the next thirty days for the house,
which will be a modern, comfortable
affair for the delight and benefit of
the club members and their visiting
friends.
Yesterday there was a large crowd
at the course, and a putting contest
was held in which Will Ward was
the winner in the gentlemen's event,
and Mrs. II. C. Potterf in the ladies'
class.
The completed tennis court of con
crete was the scene of some spirit
ed games also, and some speedy net
events were pulled off. The other
court will be finished within the next
week, and the club will boast of two
fine tennis courts.
The country club is growing in
popularity, and by another year, when
the grounds are completed and the
club house built, it will not only be the
beauty spot of this section of the
state. but will be superior to any
course in the state. Mr.. Maxwell and
the other officers are not overlooking
anything that will add to the attract
iveness of the course and are dream
ing of the time when some great
national match may be pulled off here.

REFUSE T0PAY
PAVING TAX ON
WASHINGTON
ON ACCOUNT OF THE DIlAPlOAT.
ED CONDITION OF THE PAVE
MENT, PROPERTY OWNERS ARE
REGISTERING KICKS.

1t is reported that several proper
ty owners on North Washington street
are circulating a petition protesting
against the payment of paving tax
in the future until the city compels
the McQuatters paving company to
live up to the terms of their contract
with the city and repair the broken
places. The paving on North Washing
ton street is badly broken in places
and the citizens who are asked to pay
taxes, want a good job for their money
or they will kick on paying for it.
1t was reported at the last meeting
of the city commissioners that ar
rangements had been made by the
McQuatters company to begin work in
the city at once on this job, but so
many reports have been circulated to
the same effect in the past that the
property owners are getting skeptical
and want to be shown.

To ORGANIZE
bUY-A-BA[E-0F
COTTON CLUB
MEETING CALLED FOR TOMoR-
ROW NIGHT BY THE CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE TO HELP SOLVE
LOCAL COTTON SITUATION.

There will be "A meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms tomor-
row night called promptly for 500
o'clock for the purpose of organizing
Buy-a- Cotton Club, and the
president and secretary are especial
ly anxious that every man who is in
terested in the local cotton situation
will be present.
This movement was inaugurated at
Atlanta, Ga, shortly after the out
break of the European war and has
spread like wild fire throughout the
cotton states, where it is believed that
the plan will solve the cotton question
and leave the south in a sound finan-
cial condition.
The idea is for individuals to pur-
chase a bale of cotton direct from the
farmer at ten cents per pound mid
ding basis and take that bale off the
market for this year Thousands of
I
travelling men throughout the south
have purchased bales and stored them
in out houses, and it is estimated that
Texas alone will eliminate one-half
million bales in this manner.
Several business men and some of
the oil men of this district have talked
with the secretary of the chamber of
commerce and want to assist in this
matter 1t is estimated that a large
club will be formed tomorrow night
of live wires, who are able to pay
fifty dollars for a bale of cotton and
take it off the market until times war
rant selling it. The estimated crop
this season will be far in excess of
the demand on account of the disturb
ance on the other side, but if the cot
ton can be kept OFF the market, the
farmers will receive a fair price for
the bale they sell, and the local spin
ners will have to pay a fair price
for the staple they buy. .
Every business and professional
man in this vicinity is expected to be
