A few weeks ago a. prop si'ion
was offered me to buy an inter-
est ; i the Tril" nc pulai- ! ■ at
thi place, ai ■ i upoi! ir.y fir;'
visit to this >ounj? city looked
goi lo me and I ; . i ecpt-
ed. This community ; • a-!e
ft wonderful developement in the'
pas few years; it has . crcat
opportunities in store for the fu-
ture and I am >r'ad of the oppor-
tunity of contributing my mite
towards its advancemei i.
H iving been in the newspaper
business at Frederick nearly
sine ■ the foundation of the town,
Iai already acquainted with a
nun lier of your citizens who for-
mer'-/lived there. To the large
miv rity of you, however, I come
as i entire stranger, but hope
to; on gain and merit your ac-
qua utance and friendship.
As this is an age of action
rather than words I will conclude
assuring you that I am for a
bigger, better, broader and
brighter Hollis.
R. H. Wessel.
Msssrs. R. H. Wessel and J.
M. Itoark, of Frederick, have
bought an interest in the Tr bune.
Both are practical newspaper
me: . Wessel has been • • h-
ing a "c\ sos • at Frederick
ever since the founding of the
i >wn, now publishing both a
daily and weekly. Roark is an
junci printer and linotype
omp tor. For the present Mr.
Wessel will divide his time be-
i r i iloliis and Frederick, and
when he finds a man that can
ia placeof Mr. Roark, Ro-
ar1 himself will come to Hollis,
iu Yv iil move his family here and
tint>- coming will be a valuable!
addition to the citizenship of our
town.
That Messrs. Wessel and Ro-j
, . . onsider Hollis a good town
e\idenccd by their securing,
a a interest in the Tribune. They,
will i eartily join forces with the
!■ cai boosters in working for the
, ; a'.cement of Hollis.

,\'ti better way to tell whether
a tov/n is a live one than to
notice the amount of mail re-
vived and forwarded from its
post office. Judged by this stand-
ard Hollis is certainly a very
live wire as it requires over an
hour for the postoffice force to
handle the mail arriving on the
11 o'clock train alone, and the
postoffice clerks are not slow
either.
Should a stranger have passed
through the streets of Hollis
| Saturday and judged from the
I number of people on the streets
and from the magnificient build-
| ings being erected on either side
ho would have imagined himself
.n Oklahoma City just after a
fire had swept away the busy
sections and the same were be-
ing rebuilt.
