ment Walks for Hollis
This Fall?
How about some sidewalks for
Hollis this fall? Certainly this
is a good thing to put your money
into. Cement walks are lasting.
j They are convinent. They en-
hanse property values. «*ke *
town more desirable from the
investors, pointo • ,«

""the city will put in crossing
and no doubt Hollis will budc
many sidewalks this fall anc

business good.
Cunningham Sells Shop.
\V P. Wright of Dryden has
purchased the Cunningham Ma-
chine shops and assumed con-
trol Monday evening. Mr Wri-
ght will continue the good ser-
vices rendered by the Cunnin-
ghams and will keep the best
machinists emplo^d to keep up
the standard of work.
The Building of the Bridge Means
the Construction of Good Roads j
That the bridge over Salt Fork
is a good and a cheap investment
would soon be proved by the con-
struction of at least one good
I road through the entire length
of the county. This is a ques-
1 tion that cannot be denied.
Cotton is beginning to move.
If we had the bridge ready for
use wte could keep Harmon co-
unty money in Harmon County.
Why ot make an effort to ge
this bridge put in. Good roads
is the best friend the farmers
ever did or will have and if it
takes bonds to bring about this
happy conclusion let's have the
bonds.
Merchants Working Overtime Put-
ting up New Goods and Wan-
ing on Trade.
I It seems as though the fall |
came on us all at once. Every,
business in the city has hired
extra help. The'store, are bu-
sv The merchant is being
overworked. Big shipments of
fall and winter merchandise are
arriving daily and the merchants
are crowded to the utmost in
trying to take care of the trade I
and put his goods on the shelf.
Surely this a beginning of good
times. . .' .
Cotton is now coming in at a
lively rate. Wagons loaded with
feed stuffs have blocked the
streets for the past three weeks
and a good many dollars have
been put out by the buyers.

Miss Miranda Priscilla Prim
extends to the good People of
Hollis and surrounding country
a kind and cordial invitation to
visit her school on Friday Oct-
ober 4th promptly at 8:30 o clock
(as the school opens on time)
and assures you that you w,11 be
received cheerfully with kind-
ness and hospitality.
All that is asked of the visitors
is not to laugh and disturb the
pupils during recitation as we
are trying to help Julian Warb-
robe Sunbeam to overcome stut-
tering and this makes him worse.
Recitations will be recited by
several of the most apt pupils
and also we will have some good
songs like we used to sing and
besides there will be a little
Play entitled "The Behavior
Game." , ,
As we are in debt and it has
taken time and energy to get up
our little exhibition, we will
have to charge 35 cents admiS'
sion for grown folks and 2o cents
for the young ones who are not
our pupils. Miss Prim has kind-
ly consented to give this exhibi-
tion under the auspices of the
Missionary Society of the Meth-
odist Church.
Famous Show Coming.
Jones Bros. World Toured
Shows will exhibit here for two
performances 011 Friday, Sept-
ember 27th. , > ,
We must let the boys go and
reallv enjoy themselves. You
know this show is the proper
thing, with no bad features or
bad people about it. The boy
who has never seen a show must
have lost some of his childhood.
The average boy feels that he is
seeing life when he starts to a
show with a half dollar in his
pocket and the opportunity be-
fore him of seperating himself
in the crowd at the door from
his family and frienhs. The
money is immediately spent in
peanuts and popcorn, and if the
boy is let alone he will have a
blissful time. He will worry the
monkery, he will pander to the
taste of the elephants by letting
them gulp down the peanuts and
popcorn; he will hang over the
ropes watching the trained po-
nies, dogs and pigs, and explain
to the boy younger than he is all
about it. He never thinks much
of his girl friends at home, just
tilts his nose and says'"they are
only girls" but for a young lady
who rides a bareback steed he
has an immense admiration, and
he blushes as he thinks how
lovelv it would be to have her for
his Very own, and to covort
through life on two steeds
jumping through paper hoops
and receiving the applause of a
delighted multitude. That the
young lady might object to his
size, his years and his freckles,
and that he could be married to
a clown, is something quite be-
yond his belief. He sees every-
thing that there is to see, and
when some detachment of his
disconsolate family recovers him
and asks him why he has been
such a bad boy aa to make them
think he was lost, he says: Oh
get out. A fellow of my size
can look out for himself. n
he laughingly refuses to tell
where he has been.
