CEMENT SIDEWALKS
Is Suck an Investment-A Safe One
to Make.
If you are a property owner,
what is your candid opinion as to
cement sidewalks for a safe in-
vestment? The answer cannot
be otherwise than affirmative.
Yes and they keep mud off the
feet and rheumatism away from
the old. They enhance the
beauty and worth a town and
bring prospectors, because they
stand for enterprising citizen-
ship.
Civic pride and town boosting
walk hand in hand and they are
indespensible to city building.
FRED WOOD-
MAN KILLED.
Hollisites Returning from Childress
Bring Sad News.
Hollis people who attended the
Childress picnic returned Satur-
day with the sad news that Fred
Woodson, son of Oscar Woodman
of Gould, was killed on the race
track Wednesday afternoon.
Fred was riding his father's
horse in the sweepstakes half-
mile dash when the horse slipped
on the quarter turn throwing the
rider. His foot hung in the stir-
rup and he was dragged and
kicked so badly causing instant
death before assistance could
reach him. His bod/ was re-
moved to the hospital and later
embalmed and shipped to Gould
for burial.
A wet place in the track is giv-
•en as the cause for the horse
slipping. One other horse slip-
ped but its rider jumped receiv-
ing only slight injury.
HOLLIS NEEDS TEL-
EGRAPH SERVICE
Honest Mr. Citizen, Don't You
Think Telegraph Service
Would Help You.
It is a rotten shame that a
city the size of Hollis should
have to go without telegraph
service. Is it a natural condi-
tion, or can it be overcome by a
"hard pull-all together.
Take any proposition of nation-
al or state wide fame and we
divvy up $10 for a service so rot-
ten that it smells. The primar-
ies will be pulled off on the 6th.,
of August and dear old Hollis
will again pass over a ten dollar
william for bum and inaccurate
service and finally wait for the
daily papers to tell us who is
nominated.
Since coming to Hollis in
March, not less than $60 has
been paid out by the citizens to
learn of the big events taking
place on the outside. Why do we
have to put • ,> .. kh this outland-
ish way of learning things? A
dollar bill from every citizen will
build our own wire connection,
or better still a tremendous rack-
et made in the Northwestern
general offices will have the de-
sired effect. If we are going to
come into civilization, lets have
all the luxuries.
You get busy and help do
something to stop this $10 a clip
racket to learn something. All
the celebritees are about over-
worked since the negro whipped
Flynn, Taft up-set Teddy, who
is still howling and Wilson is an
oil painting.of th^ . ext presi
dent, but Haskell and Oweh must
tumble in deadly toils and up
the road $10 more sister Hollis.
