J W JAMESON MAKES
EXTENDED EXPLANATION
Childress, Texas, Roue 11,
February 23, 1923.
Hollis Post-Herald,
HoIIIb, Oklhoma.
I eee in your paper of February
15, 1923, a report of Rupert Jameson
being brought from Oklahoma City
charged with wife desertion and
non-support of family. The charges
are untrue and false. The fact is
he and his wife agreed to uit, she to
havo two children and him two. He
sent me and his mother two, I
would not take them if their mother
wanted them. I wrote her, and she
came and got them and now charges
desertion and non-support. It is as
false as can be. Please publish this
and let your readers know the fa:ts
and truth. It is an unjust charge.
If she wants support let her go back
to Oklahoma City where she left
him. It is a case of the wife de-
serting pure and simple. I want
all readers of this article to know
I don't approve of Rupert's con-
duct, but the truth is bad enough
without makiqg false charges in
court. Please publish this.
(Signed) J. Wj. JAMISON.

NEW. ENTERPRISE HERE
AND NOBODY KNEW IT
Does it pay to advertise ?
There are still people who pretend
to believe that it don't pay, but if he
is a live, up-to-the-minute business
man ho knows that it DOES pay.
Just this week a -reporter for this
paper was going down the street on
east Broadway and whilt passing
the Hollis Tire Shop ha observed a
new face therein, who apptared to b :
interested in the business. The report
er went in and asked if he was the
boss, and that individual replied that
ho was part of it. Introductions fol-
lowed and it was learned that W. K.
King has established an upholstering
business, and handles all work in that
line. It was also learned that he does
auto curtain and top repairing and
also makes new curtains and tops at
a most reasonable price. And the sur-
prising feature about is that Mr.
King has been located there for near-
ly two months. But the reporter
didn't know it, and no doubt there are
a few thousand people in Harmon
county who will learn of the fact for
the first timt as thty rtad this ittm
and tha announcement Mr. King had
in this issue.
The reporter was shown some of
the work Mr. King does and he can
recommtnd it. If you have chairs and
davenports that need to be recovered
King can do it for you. If in need of
anything in this line call on him.
A Message
to Women Who
Want New Suits
MOST of us, no doubt, would pefer a new
suit every few weeks, if bank accounts
were sufficiently elastic--
But since this isn't always the case, have you
thought of the possibilities for "renewing" that,
old suit?
Your suit, or any other apparel—dresses,
blouses,—dry cleaned by our modern methods,
take on a newness which you'll find pleasantly
surprising.
Phone today and we will call at whatever
time you name.

The Post-Herald joins the
many friends of the Staton and
Fairchild families in extending
sincere sympathy in this kour of

ing for the little girls and the
infant babe who are left without
the love and care of a mother.
Mrs. J. R. Stuckey
Mrs. J. R. Stuckey died at the
family home ten miles southeast
of Hollis Saturday. February

bouc three weeks, but she had
not been in good health for about
a year. The funeral services
were held Sunday, the 25th, at
the family home, being con-
ducted by Rev. J. R. McCarty,
ofTeacross. Interment was in
the Dryden cemetery, where a
great number of friends and
neighbors gathered to pay their
last tribute of respect to a devot-
ed wife, loving mother and faith-
ful friend and neighbor. At the
time of her death Mrs. Stuekey
was forty six years and six
months old. The deceased was
born August 23,1876, in Louis-
iana, and was the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Avery. Her
father is still living and makes
his home atNacadoches, Texas.
There i3 one sister living, Mrs
H. J. Deloach and four brothers.
They all live in Louisana.
Mr. and Mrs J. R. Stuckey
were married on September 28,
1897, in Louisiana, where they
lived for twelve years, and then
came to what is now Harmon
county, where they have resided
ever since. There are four child-
ren living, a son, C. M. Stuckey,
who is married and lives at Iowa
Park, Texas. The other three,
Velma, Durwood and Bessie are
at home. A brother, W. M. Avery,
of Shrevesport, Louisiana, ar-
rived several days before Mrs.
Stuckey died and was the only
one of the family outside of Har-
mon connty who was able to at-
tend the funeral. Mrs. Stuckey
W9S a faithful member of the
Baptist church, of which she
had been a member for a number
of years. The Post-Herald joins
the friends and neighbors in pay-
ing tribue to her memory and in
extending sympathy to the
bereaved husband and other
members of the family.
William Carl Hulse
One of the most largely at-
tended funerals held in Harmon
county for a long time was the
funeral of William Carl Hulse at
the Baptist church Monday
afternoon.
Mr. Hul&e was taken seriously
ill with diabetes a couple of
months ago while teaching school
at Bearden, and had to give up
his school work. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that he was given
the best possible medical aid he
steadily grew worse, though it
was not supposed he was in any
immediate danger, and just last
week his father, W, S. Hulse
took him to Oklahoma City and
placed him in the University
Hospital. His father left him on
Wednesday of last week, return-
ing home on Friday afternoon-
That evening he received a tele-
gram stating that Carl was much
worse aad for him to come at
once. Mr. and Mrs. Hulse and
