Buy it at Hollis.
If you're for Hollis we're for
you.
Cash Bros, are doing the best
business ever done for the sea-
son. ' They are following the
"creative" policy and are enjoy-
ing the results. Any business
and every business can be en-
larged and built up if the right
methods are put into practice.
New business can be created,
competition or none, and Cash
Bros, arc on the right road.
They give service!
What has become of the old
fashioned man who used to say
advertising didn't pay? His
argument would not go far with
the Tribune force. Two weeks
ago we inserted a two-line local
for clean, cotton rags. Since
that time we could have boaght
a car load of rags. To buy all
the rags that have been offered
us would bankrupt any news-
paper in the state. We bou rht
all the rags we needed, bought
more for accommodation and
bought more because they were
for sale—but we haven't bought
anything since. Readers will
please take note that we have
plenty of r5gs-they are so
plentiful we are forced to wear
them.
Politics are a thing of the past
and nothing can be heard but,
Chautauqua. Very few Hollis
people have failed to buy. season
tickets, and those who can buy
and will not have our sympathy.
The fellow that don't appreciate
and take advantage of such an
opportunity is to be pitied. But
there are none of them in Hollis.
If anyone in Hollis fails to attend
the Chautauqua it will be for
some reasonable reason. They
know a good thing when they
see it.
Since the election is over and
somebody's favorite candidate
has been elected to every office,
it is the duty of every voter as
a citizen to concede that "all is
for the best'' and that every can-
didate elected is the best one
that could have been put in. It
it wa3 our favorite or not it is
our duty to support every elect
as an officer. Any officer and
especially any county officer,
must have the support and co-
operation of the people if they
make a success. No set of of-
ficers can successfully execute
their duties to the best* advant-
age of all concerned if those who
opposed and worked against
them as candidates continue to
oppose and work against them
as officers. If we expect a suc-
cessful or profitable administra-
tion we must work to that end
by helping the officers make it
so. We as a people should put
forth every possible effort to
make them good officers. If in
our opinion an elected officer is
not capable, it will not help the
cause to knock on his record or
ability. Give him an opportuni-
ty to improve; give him an op-
portunity to make a good officer.
Give him the hand of hearty
support and let's make the next
the most successful, peaceful
and profitable administration
Harmon county has ever had.
TH£ HARMON COUNTY TRIBUNE
ed etc." Those are two state-
ments that should be remember-
ed; they should be borne in mind
by every man, and especially
every boy. The thoughtful boy
the boy who saves is the one who
succeeds, and the man who
is prepared is the man who suc-
ceeds. A bank account is pre-
pardneas; with it one is prepared
to make money; is prepared to
take advantage of opportunities;
has gained the confidence of
hankers as a thoughtful and
thrifty citizen, and has won for
himself the esteem of thinking
people.

C. E. Hall Addresses Voters
County Attorney C. E. Hall of
Altus, delivered a very able
speech here Saturday afternoon
in behalf of the various amend-
ments that were voted on in
Tuesday's primary, and no doubt
but what he changed many vo-
ters that were very likely to
have voted wrong, as they did
not thoroughly understand same.
He proved to his listners that
the amendments he discussed
were not the work of any mach-
ine bunch as some thought, but
was very beneficial to both state
and party.
It seemed that most of his
hearers enjoyed his talk, and
will welcome him back to our
little city any time convenient
for him to visit us again.

merce says in its ad "Thoughtful
boys makes successfull men.''

week from an extended visit at
Haskel, Texas, with Mrs. Gar-

a week at Clearfork fishing and

Chas Troutman who has been in
charge of the Troutman-Gosselin
variety store is moving to Altus
this week and leaves the store
in charge of Jeff Ham.
Since Mr. Troutman has been
in charge of the business here it
has grown to be one of the best
in this section of the state, and
its merits are proven by the
the trade it is enjoying. Hollis
is loosing a wide awake progress-
ive business man in that of Mr.
Troutman and everyone wishes
him even more success in hn
new home.
In the future the Troutman-
Gosselin store here will be in

since its establishment, and is
well known to the Hollis and
Harmon county public. Mr.

and will in his new capacity
serve the people in a way to
prove it. The same complete
stock will be carried, and the
same service and courtesies are
assured the store's customers.
Rains General Over The
' County
Last Sunday and Monday Har-
mon county was visited by rains
in most all sections which were
of inestimable value to crops.
Reports from the Halsmith
community say that a light rain
fell there, and while it was no ;
all that was needed, it is a great
help. Bearing west from there
the rain gradually got heavier.
From west, north and east al-
so comes reports of "last minute"
rams. None were as heavy aa
\Vas really needed, but west of
town a real good rain fell, assur-
ing a good feed crop.

His many friends here will be

good town, and there is no reason
why a good man should not make
good there. Here's wishing him
well and predicting success for
him in his new home.
