Monday night at the court
house a mass meeting of citizens
of Hollis and surrounding coun-
try was held pursuant to a call
of Senator H. J. Denton. The
purpose of the meeting was to
see what steps Harmon county
would take toward the accept-
ance of an offer of one hundred
state prisoners made to Mr. Den-
ton by the management of the
state penitentiary, the convicts
to be used on the Harmon county
roads.
Owing to the fact that there
was not as large attendance
from the surrounding country as
was desired, only a temporary
proceeding was taken, and ad-
journment was made until Mon-
day night, April 3rd. At this
meeting every one in Harmon
county interested in good roads
is invited to be present. How-
ever at the meeting Monday
night committees were appointed
to push the matter along in
special lines and when the meet-
ing occurs on the night of the
3rd it is likely that much sub-
stantial progress will be made.
It is the intention to speedily
get a line of good roads clear
across Harmon county in both
east and west and north and
and south directions. This
will'mean an advancement on
every acre of land in Harmon
and better conditions generally.
Good roads are the chiefest
accomplishments of any civilized
country. Some think that a
sysem of good roads now would
mean more to Harmon
county than another railroad.
The only cost to Harmon county
is to provide shelter, cages and
guards for the prisoners and this
looks like that Senator Denton
has made a fine stroke for his
homefolks. Good roads is some-
thing that interests the people
of every progressive neighbor-
hood and we cannot let this op-
portunity to go by unheeded.
We already have all sorts of
grading machinery in the county
and only needs some active and
regular handling to produce for
us some roads that will be the
pride of all our citizenship.
Remember the meeting Mon-
day night, April 3rd and come
out. The people of the surround-
ing country are invited to attend
especially.

Pearson & Tice's. It is a Milton
and is made in New York, is a
mahogony finish and is a beauty.
It will be given absolutely free
to the lady receiving the most
votes in the popular voting con-
test now in progress. Votes
may be obtained in the following
two ways: From coupons in the
Tribune from time to time each
of which is good for 25 votes,
and by cash on subscription.
The fastest way to obtain votes
however, is by paying money on
subscription as the following
schedule shows: For each $1,
1,000 votes; for each $2, 3,000
votes; for each $3, 5,000 votes;
for each $4, 7,000 votes; for each
$5, 10,000 votes. In order to re-
ceive the above number of votes
the paper must be sent to one
address.
The Tribune alone is well worth
every cent of subscription but
we are making th: above liberal
offer to increase the number of
subscribers. This offer holds
good for renewals as well as for
new subscribers.
As mentioned last week we are
also giving a number of other
valuable prizes which are now
on exhibition at Myers', the
jeweler, so that every lady who
sends in as mnch as $12 on sub-
scription will receive a prize,
and in addition has a chance of
winning the grand prize, the
$375 Milton piano, an instrument
of which the winner will feel
proud all her life.
Remember that the world loves
a huster and that if you get out
and work for this piano you are
going to make many friends and
will win some of these minor
prizes while you stand a mighty
good chance of getting this hand-
some Milton piano, an instru-
ment handsome enough to adorn
any home in Harmon county.
None of the two or three ladies
now in the contest have such a
vote but that two or three days
of earnest work will put any new
candidate in the lead. If you
want this piano or have a friend
who does, simply fill out an en-
try blank giving her 5,000 votes
to start with and the lady will
be duly registered in the race.
Better still call at the Tribune
office so that we can explain any
feature not fully plain to you and
tell you how you can work to the
best advantage.
No time has yet been set to
close this conetst so that any
contestant will have ample time
to do all the work she cares to
before the close. This contest
is open to any lady, married or
single.

travel out of Memphis when they
travel at all which is seldom, for
it is not a real traveling troupe,
but just a crowd of homefolks
who go out now and then to have
a good time and incidentally rake
in a few shekels for the benefit
of the Memphis band, of which
the playing troupe is mostly
composed.
Fifteen people were in the
crowd that made a pilgrimage
to Hollis on pleasure and profit
bent.f They largely resembled
a big family party, and in truth
they were to some extent, for
there were husband and wife
and parent and child and no re-
cord was taken of the brothers
and sisters-in-law and cousins
that, were in the party. There

inforced concrete building will
take the place of the old one.
This means that the ground
will lie cleared away and a gen-
eral building along the block
west, will take place. The build-
ing where the Tribune is located
will soon be moved out as will
also those'on either side, hence
the chances are that the block
will be built entire within a
! few months.
