knows how to do. Not having
been able to save anything from
his small wages when a young
man, he now has nothing but
vain regrets of lost opportunities

is well fitted for the office and
his long residence in the county
has gained for him numbers of
friends and a wide acquaintance
enjoyed by few citizens. He
says, "I will endeavor to do all

at Teacross.
Many have been the" requests,
both in person and through the
mails, for The Tribune to keep
after the bridge question and
that is the very idea.
No one says a bridge is not
needed. Yet someone must take
the initiative and bring about
some action on the part of the
people. This is everyone's busi-
ness and needs care with prompt
attention. Every citizen in the
entire county would benefit thru
the construction of this
and it must be built.
The people of Vinson are very
anxious for a bridge. They like
to come to the county seat as do
other citizens of north of the riv-
er and of course we wish to visit
those parts. The amount of the
business of Hollis will be trebled
if this bridge is constructed. If
the citizens of Hollis want the
trade from the north end of the
county this bridge route is the
only route and Hollis should now
make an effort. Get busy boys,
let's put in a bridge

Minutes of Mass Meeting

For the Purpose of Consid-

the inconveniences of hunting

coupons are redeemable for cash
at any time.
When we started selling ice in
Hollis we cut tlie price in half,
we are selling ice in Hollis as
cheap as they do in Altus, Man-
gum, Elk City, Frederick or any
way." This statement is a plain
one and those knowing Mr.
Crockett agree with him to the
letter. He further says, "I
want this office because it pays a
handsome salary ($1400.00 per
year) and it is much lighter work
than my present occupation
(blacksmithing) and is a more
agreeable occupation. This
(Harmon county) has been my
home for the past 20 years, and
i will appreciate your support as
much as if I had been residing
here for the past 1000 years."
You owe a just consideration of
Mr. Crockett's candidacy and
you should study over the prop-
osition before you cast a nomi-
character of his work as repre-
sentative of the United States
Agricultural Department, for
this county, and expressed his
desire to co-operate with the
County Fair Association, in the
event same is organized.
Motion carried to organize a
bridge County Fair of Harmon county.
Whereupon, the Chairman was
instructed to appoint a commit-
