TERRAL. Okla, Aug. 1S-Texas
and oklahoma clasped hands on the
recently completed Meridian highway
Red river bridge at Terral Wednesday
and two young ladies. one represent
ing Texas and one Oklahoma, poured
cold melon juice upon the pact and
thus dedicated the bridge to the great
highway movement of America. Miss
Liston of Ringgold represented Texas
and Miss Charlotte Colburn, daugh-
ter of n bridge official at Terral, rep
resented Oklahoma.
The ceremony was in the shae of n
large American Flag held by DR.. l..
d. Ewing and was participated in by
Judge ]. b. A. Robertson of oklahoma
City and bridge officials. A large
crowd packed the gangway. The
ceremony took place at noon and
afterwards visitors accepted an invita-
ton to make merry about the pre-
cincts of a stack of 900 watermelons
brought from the great melon fields
that surround Terral.
Probably five thousand persons at
tended the celebration, many of them
from Texas towns twenty TO fifty mites
distance. The Meridian highway was
traversed by visitors and slghtseers all
the way between Chickasha and Fort
Worth because OF this occasion. A
few thousand OF them heard Judge
| Robertson in an afternoon address.
The festivities took place in an at
tractive grove that fringes the river
and near the end of the bridge. This
grove contains springs of pure cold
water, patches of heavy grass and an
abundance of shade. 1t probably will
/ be improved and christened Meridian
Highway park.

The chautauqua tent came as mis-
sion from heaven to these remote

churches, and the modern ideas OF
community life are unknown to them.
In one Kentucky mountain hamlet the
Radclice managers had to close up the
