When the roll ol' heroes is com-
pleted, there will bo found near
the top of the list the men who
have worked so faithfully for
the rail road for Hollis.
Prospects for the Future Bright.
Towns, like individuals, have
their times of prosperity and
their times of adversity, times
when,every thing seoms dark and
times when the rainbow of
promise is visible to ail; and Hol-
lis has been no exception to this
rule. It has been n long and a
hard struggle. Sometimes the
the success of the town seamed
assured and every one was lull
of hope, then the 'winds of ad-
versity would come upon it, and
hope was crufhed to earth and
dispair settled upon many.
But prospects Were never so
bright as at present, and 'the

We have received favorable

our recent special edition for
Which we are duly thankful.
The following from that excel-
lent newspaper, the Quanah

preciated, since Harry Koch has
done more work in this line
than any other man in tb
county;

If we do not miss our guess,
there will be tilings doing in
Hollis during the coming year.
Good showing for Harmon County
County Judge Todd filed his
regular' quarterly report with
the board of county commis
sioners yesterday. His report
shows tliar, his office cook in
$437.95 in fees during the quar
ter beginning October 1st and
endijig January 1st. About
$165' was taken in on marriage
licenses.
The salai'y of the county judge
is $1,500 and the clerk hire al-
lowance $900 per year, and it
will be seen that the office is
very near self-sustaining, only
lacking $(i00.—Maugum Star.
As| stated in our last issue,
Judpe King's . quarterlv report
shows that the receips of his
office Trere $863 40 which is more
tnan %V00 00 above the expenses.
Instead of not being self-sustain-
ing, the office each quarter adds
a handsome' sum to the county
treasury. Not a bad showing for
the "Baby County."
g o. p. Troubles
The split in the g. o. u. has al-
ready occurred. The president,
indignant that a subordinate
should tell of the rascality in h is
department, has dismissed from
the head of the Forestry Bureau,
Mr. Roosevelt's pet, Gilford Pin-
chot. The Roosevelt republicans
and all who desire honesty in the
administration of public affairs
are up in arras.
The insurgents in the house
are gaining ground
Representatives who have here-
tofore belonged to Uncle Joe,

constituency, and. as rats desert
