SMITH
HOLLIS, OKLA.
HOLLIS BROS.
SELL STOCK
Hollis Brofhers Sell to Joe Smith
and Son, of Elmer,—Took
Charge Monday—New Firm Ex-
perienced Business Men.
Last week a trade was consu-
mated wherein the firm of Joe
Smith and Son became the own-
ers of the Hollis Brothers stock
of hardware and the Hollis Bros,
became, in turn, the possessors
of a fine Harmon county farm.
Gardner Bros. & Motley were
instrumental in bringing the
parties together, for the deal.
The Messrs. Smith are thor-
ough bus ness men and know a
good town when they see it. The
younger member will have active
charge of the business here for
the present and until the elder
can adjust his business matters
at. other places, when he, too,
will move here with his family
and be with the business regu-
larly.
The Hollis Bros., being origi-
I. O. O. F. STATE MEET
Last week several meml ers of
the local 1. 0. 0. F. attended
the state convention of that or-
der at Oklahoma City. Most of
those going went as far as Al-
tus in Perry Hazlewood's auto-
mobile and returned from there
in it, thus saving about two days
time on the trip.
Those going were J. P. Hazle-
wood, W. P. Fewell, J. H. Scrugs
B. B. Briscoe, W. C. Spradling,
J. H. Warner and Z. W. Petree.
"Uncle Billy" Sapp started and
got as far as Lawton where he
too'< sick and returned home.
BIG COTTON CROP BUYS CREAM SEPARAT'R | LADIES'AID PROGRAM SCAFFOLDING
Visit Patterson's Photo Studio
and see some nice portraits. 35
nal settlers here, need no intro-
duction to the people of Harmon.
Suffice it to say that they will be
missed from the business circles
should they remain permanently
out of business. Under the ex-
cellent management of J. E.
Hollis, the firm had done a most
gratifying business since buying
the Lindsey-Tolson stock last
fall.
M. W. Byrd, living about ten
miles northwhest of Hollis was
in town this week figuring on
buying some town property. Mr.
Byrd is one of the most success-
ful farmers of Harmon county
and last year he made the unusu-
ally large yield of 41 bales of cot-
ton on 45 acres, which is quite
good even for this country of
marvelous yields.
But Mr. Byrd has some fine
company in the matter of big
yields, in fact on smaller areas
he is in one or two instances out-
distanced. R. D. McCubbin, liv-
ing only a few miles from Mr.
Byrd, gathered one bale per acre
but is was on a small area, only a
few acres in that yield. 1. ^ .
Monroe, another neighbor, made
three fourths of a bale per acre
on all his crop while G. Q. Nell,
of the same neighborhood, had
a small field that produced 2000
pounds of seed cotton to the
acre.
With these big yields to record
it should be no wonder that we
feel disposed to make a little
npise about it.
W. F. Carter, living in the
Sandy neighborhood, bought an
Iowa cream separator last week
of the Truax Produce Co. He
considers them money makers
and exemplified his faith by
works. Recently the editor had
the pleasure of visiting Mr. Car-
ter's fine farm and knows that
on it he can raise feed stuffs of
all kinds in great abundance, it
being the Sandy soil so adaptable
to all kinds of forage crops.

HOG CHOLERA SERUM
The Oklahoma State Agricul-
tural College will distribute hog
cholera serum to the farmers and
stock raisers of the state at 20c
per dose, is the information re-
ceived by the Tribune in a cir-
cular letter from J. H. Connel,
president of the college.
Cholera serum is not a cure
but a sure preventive of the dis-
ease among swine. The 20 cents
paid for the serum will be put in
a revolving fund and reinvested
1 in the manufacture of the serum.
Look out for the stealthy step
of the burglar in your house
'wav in the night. He is abroad
and doing an occasional stunt.
Several times he has entered or
tried to enter houses. And once
he made it safely into the Star
Meat Market and got away with
a dollar and a half in coin of the
realm and one big canvas covered
hog ham. This was perhaps his
banner night, for so far as re-
ports go he never gets into a
house but what the inconsider-
ate householder wakes up and
taking some homely weapon of
offense or defense goes in quest
much to the inconvenience of
said burglar. And sometimes he
does not get into the house at all,
his gentle ministrations on the
door lock waking the occupants,
whereat, of course, he desists
and decamps.
As a consequence of this hor-
rible state of afiairs every old
rusty pocket shooter in town
has been called out of retirement,
oiled, and loaded to to the guards.
We personally know of one little
five shooter bought fifteen years
ago at a pawn shop for 39 cents,
that has lain in a state of inoc-
uous desuetude for, lo! these
many years that is now, lamp
trimmed and burning, reposing
faithfully under the pillow of its
devoted owner, and woe unto
the midnight prowler that dares
invade that realm—provided he
will stand like a gentleman and
be shot. There are others.
Night after night there are
little trusting women turn their
faces to the wall, feeling one
tenth secure by reason of the
bewhiskered Lord of Creation on
the front side of the bed with his
little nickel plated popgun ex-
ploder, and night after night
there are as many above men-
tioned Lords, etc. who would
give a barrel of suspender but-
tons if they could be assured be-
yond a doubt that there was not
a burglar outside the state pen-
itentiary walls.
CARD OF THANKS
We take this method of extend-
ing our sincere thanks to the
good friends who so kindly gave
us sympathy and assistance dur-
ing the recent bereavement to

Tuesday morning at ten o'clock
W. A. Holt, who was employed
on the construction work of the
concrete buildings being erected
on the south side of Main Street,
suffered a fall from the scaffold-
ing on which he was standing,
the result being a broken arm
and several minor injuries. The
arm was broken &t <he \vrist,
only one bone being broken, the
other being displaced.
Holt was working beneath the
false flooring which is to support
the concrete flooring when the
accident occurred. The plank-
ing on which he stood gave way
beneath him when he approach-
ed too near one end, thus precip-
itating him to the ground, about
fourteen feet.
