Say is Grady's Chance.

In tie opinion of Mr.. Conner and
also of Mr. Hutson, this represents
Grady's chance to procure a maxi
mum amount Of road work at min.
imum cost. TAey point out that
prompt work ON the roads of Grady
county, may save the cancellation OF
rural routes out of the city. II is un-
derstood that Postmaster Barefoot
has recommended the cutting off OF
six miles from one route out OF
Chickasha for the reason that the
roads covered in that district are in
practically impossible condition.
The postmaster has stated that the
cancellation of five routes out OF
Chickasha is imminent unless the
roads are improved.
Time is Indefinite.
In speaking of the matter, Mr. Co
mer stated: This convict labor can
be secured only through application
Of the county commissioners. The
Chamber of Commerce realized the
difficulty at this time in procuring
labor for work on the roads. There
fore cook the matter up with the
state board of affairs and was assur-
ed by Mr.. Kayser that such a convict
road glng could be procured. THIS
would relieve the labor situation with
regard to the roads and would at
the same time be the means of put-
ting great stretches of Grady county
roads in the best condition. These
men are expert road builders. The
ccnvlcts work under the direction of
engineers and the roads they make
will be up to state specifications.
q am given to understand theG
Grady county can have the use Of
these men for an indefinite lei.od
That is TO say. for several months.
or perhaps a year In that time, 4
crew of so men with full road equip
ment could do wonders with the GA
dy county reads. This cer:a.n.y
looks like the opportunity that Ga
dy has been looking for"

the other certificates.
The postofiice has already sold a
considerable number of this new is
sue and they urge h a the people buy
stamps just as much now as they did
before the war came to a conclusion,
because the government needs the

the war days.
The booth at the corner of state
and Smith streets was not open yes
terday, so no stamps were sold there,
but the booth will be open and ready

liar and complicated cases which
come before him every now and then
in which the plaintiff, charging a
woman with grand larceny In m

have to remain In Jail until h grand
Jury acts upon the matter. The
woman's husband, who was originally
charged with the theft. also had bail
fixed at $500 and after this had been
furnished he announced his inten-
ions of starting action against the
plaintiff for alternating his wife's af-
fections.
John Ratz, OF 319 Gordon street, is
charged with embezzling III money
which belonged to Alex Goci, or the
same address. Goci claimed he gave
the money to Rats wife to keep Tor
him and she refused to return 1T.
Upon hearing this statement Recor-
der Pickersgill declared he thought
the woman was more guilty than the
man and decided to hold both in $500

his pocket, extracted $500 which ne
offered as cash bail for the m
