CAPITALISTS
VISIT CITY
Accompanied by the Northwestern
Railway Officials a Party Of
Northern Capitalists Take Drive
Over City.
On Thursday afternoon of last
Week Hollis was visited by the
officials of the Wichita Falls and
Northwestern Railway, including
President J. A. Kemp, Vice Pres-
ident and General Manager
Frank Kell, General Passenger
Agent C. L. Fontaine and Gene-
ral Attorney C. C. Huff.
The northern visitors were
greatly pleased with what they
saw of our country, some of them
stating to our people that the
people of their country could
hardly believe by hearsay the
story of the great developement
and progress of this section of
the country. And their version
was that a visit here was a sur-
prise of a most agreeable kind.
It is quite probable that the
W. F. & N. W. officials will find
this visit of the capitalists to
this country a very successful
occasion for themselves. It will
probably make the placing of
bonds easier which in turn may
mean more building for the rail-
way company. The party was
traveling in a special train con*
sistjng of two coaches. The
party spent about an hour here.
,They were met at the depot by
a party of the leading citizens of
the town and escorted over the
city and nearby country. There
were seven auto loads of the
visitors.
MORE MENTION
OF GOOD YIELDS
Last week we published ac-
counts of some extra good yields
of cotton on Harmon county
farms. This week another large
yield has been brought to our
attention that we take pleasure
in mentioning. In the year of
1907 J. A. Teague, who resides
in the Halsmith neighborhood,
made the enormous yield of 12
bales of the fleecy staple on 9
acres of land.
This cotton was planted on the
8th of June and was not chopped
to a stand until the 25th day of
July, at which time it was knee
high. Only 16 days work was
required in the cultivation of the
crop.
This record our real estate men
would do well to paste in their
hats.

MOVED TO HOLLIS
NOTICE, COTTON
GROWERS
I wish to state that the report
so generally circulated In and
around Hollis that our gin (the
Motley gin) is owned by the
Chickasha Cotton Oil Co. is false.
The gin is owned by myself and
three others. The Chickasha
Cotti.*' Oil Co. nor no other Cot-
ton ti x does not own one cent
of this gin, neither do they con-
trol it directly or indirectly. I
state further that myself and
three partners are in no way
connected with the Chickasha
Cotton Oil Co. or any other cot-
ton oil company in any way what-
ever. I do not ask you to take
my word for it but invite you to
call at our office and inspect our
books, title, etc. and see for
yourse-V" just who owns this
gin. As for myself I have come
here to make this my home and
am going to gin cotton at the old
price and do a fair, square busi-
ness. I am going to make ex-
tensive improvements on this
plant and expect to have as good
a gin as there is in Harmon coun-
ty. I make the above statement
in justice to myself. I do not
think this report has been circu-
lated purposely to injure our gin
but has been done through a
misunderstanding of facts.
Yours truly,
C. M. Francis,
Manager Hollis Gin Co.

HOG CHOLERA SERUM
The Oklahoma State Agricul-
tural College will distribute hog
cholera serum to the farmers and
stock raisers of the state at 20c
per dose, is the information re-
ceived by the Tribune in a cir-
cular letter from J. H. Connel,
president of the college.
Cholera serum is not a cure
but a sure preventive of the dis-
ease among swine. The 20 cents
paid for the serum will be put in
a revolving fund and reinvested
in the manufacture of the serum.
WATERW'RKS
PROBLEM
Hudson, the Altus Engineer, Talks
Over the Problem of Water for
Hollis While Here on Private
Business.
Some time Hollis must have
waterworks, provided she intends
to push on to the fore and be-
come the prosperous and popular
city that is hers by right. She
cannot reach a much greater de-
velopement if she remains water-
less. So much for certain. And
of course we will get the water
in good time. We have been so
, busy on other equally important
i things that water has been shel-
ved off for future action. But
i the time for action is growing
I rapidly nearer.
E. E. Hudson, the well known
civil engineer of Altus, was here
on private business Saturday and
just before he was ready to take

f GETS NEW FIXTURES I
Since the Hollis State Bank
has moved to its new quarters
it can show to its customers the
finest set of bank fixtures to be
found in Southwest Oklahoma.
Those that ought to know, say
there are none as good in either
Altus, Mangum or Frederick,
and visitors from those towns
have said as much.
And J. B. Garrison and Roy
Pendergraft, of the Hollis Drug
Co.. have just received their
shipment of fine fixtures which
will go into the new concrete
building. They have complete
new fixtures for the new estab-
lishment. .Their total outlay is
over $5,000 for the fixtures.
They all say the best is none too
good for Hollis.
