PASSED OVER
Wednesday morning, Novem-
ber, 20th, Miss Thelma Maddin,
eldest daughter ofMr. and Mrs.
C. H. Maddin, complained to
gome of her coworkers in the
public school, of feling badly,
and fearing she was taking
the influenza went home She
immediately tpok her bed and a
physician was called, who pro-
nounced it pneumonia. Her suf-
iering was intense, but all rejoic
ed when it was announced yes-
terday that she was much better
and like a thundcrboalt from a
clear sky came the announcYnent
this morning that she was dead.
Miss Thelma was graduated
from) the Hollis High school two
years ago and) was teaching her
second term of school. Always
bright and cheerful, looking on
the sunny side of life, made her
a universal f&vorite with all who
knew her.
On account of the illness of
Mrs. Maddin and little bady the
funeral services were held at
her home at.2 o'clock this after-
noon, by Eld. Gillentine. Inter-
ment was made at Fairmount
, cemetery.
The bereaved ones have the
sympathy of the entire city.
FROM ARTHAR GALBRAITH
Some where in France
October 27, 1918
Dear parents:
I received a few letters from
you today and now is the beet
lime for a return reply. I sup-
pose, to make such of most in.
besn, everything was scenery;
sceory that would catch the most
indolent eye. Miles after miles of
land over which I have passed
makes me think of a large park,
a flower garden, vineyards which
flow wine of many different
makes to the cities.. Home af-
ter home of concrete houses. Not
a wooden s true ti re seen in Franc
in which the French make their
home. They are masters of con-
crete work. I suppose this is due
to the fact thgt there is very lit-
tle lumber in this nation. Homes
of prehistoric times such as clift
dwellers with huts sunken back
into the hills of seemingly solid
rock, and these running in sec-
tions for many spaces. Church-
es, school Abbeys, and other
bhildings of medival mention,
yes as old as 900 A. D.,very com-
mon to the French, but to my-
self, I cainnot overlook their age
and crude molding3, yet some of,
these buildings show real artisan1
ship, master work; work which
seems impossible without our'
modern methods of invention.!
And eveiy buildinsr, andi home
seems to have had a different
blue print, plains and specifica-
tions in its making.
Environments certainly helps
to make the man, or at least
these people show it, more es-
pecially the peasant type. These
people seem to know no advance.
They are raly human beings, of
white type, and walk uprikht,
but no pepper. Farther they do
not seem to want to advance.
Just a slow go easy life, know-
ing nothing but hard work,
muscular and dvvarfed probably
caused by such hard work. It
seems too that a genertion of
these people is just passing over
the great divide, for everywhere
along the roads one cannot help
but observe an old wornout man
or woman barely creeping, all
bent double, and nearest past
goi-^. Their very aipnearance

not been in one place. Landing
in Brest, France, we were, after
some weeks stay, entrained for

some three months at this place,
we have now moved again, the

clothes, or if they do know it,
and don't use it, tthey have dur-

WITH ALL THE TRUE OIL If \YS
One day last weak, John Long, [
Rcss Cox and a few other oil
magnets were co ing home
from Burkburnett and Wichita
Falls, Mr. Long decided it would
bbe a good joke to qretend to
have the "flil' and thus make
the other boys uneasy about rid-1
ing with him. So he began to(
sneeze, .cough, spit and sputter,
just like one afflicted with the
real article and when question-1
ed by them admited that he had
a kenuine case of the disease. I
Some of the boys hunted up|
the accomodating conducter,1
Billy Burk,, and put him,wise.!
It was agreed that John was a'
dangerous passenger and should
be quaranteened.. The conducter
said, "alright if you fellows say
quaranteen him, in he goes
He then approached the "sick
man" and told him that some of
the ladies in the car had over-
heard him tell his friends that
he had the flu and ha^ made com
plaint. He pulled out some mon-
ey and said "I hate to do any-
thing of the kind but I sahll be
forced to pay you your fare back
and put you off at Tipton, the
next station. It is against the
law for me to permit any one to
to ride on the train with a con-;
tagious disease' The sick man
got well all at once and put up
a pitiful plea to be allowed t.(^
come home
The matter was finally com-
promised by quaranteening him
in the negro car and that is how
it hapened that a prominant
Hollis oil man came into town
in the "Jim Crow" compartment
instead of riding with White
Folks.
No new in^nenza cases have
been reported his week, and it
is quite probable that the worst
is over.
