Tl>e Holly Commercial Club took care of their visitors in a very courtious manner and proved to us that they were certainly a bunch of live wires. The visitors were taken to the Holly Cafe where a nice supper was served after which they were escorted to the club rooms where they were treated to real havanas, and best of all, was the OrcheB'ra selections by the “Harmony Hounds” who are certainly in a class by themselves when it comes to music. The meetin ■ was a harmonious af fair and proved that everyone was very muoli interested in good roads. There were several towns represented at the meeting from Colorado, Kan sas, Oklohoma and Texas, some of them being just a little out of line of the proposed route that were greatly interested in getting the highway to come to their towns and gave their reasons why they thought the highway should pass over their route. The Association is trying to keep this highway as straight as they pos sibly can, which of course means that they can’t all be accomodated with the road. The Association has thus far com pleted the highway from Chappell, Nebr.. on the north to Stratford, Tex as, on the south, and the outlook for reaching the Gulf at this time is very encouraging and no doubt will be ac complished in the next meeting or two. The next meeting will be held at Holyoke, Colo., two weeks from today Those who attended the meeting from here were:—J. W. Shy, V. H. John son, Jas. Curt's, H. Cheney, Wra Hollenbaugh, H. Fleming and the editor. Aak Nick about Praam Electro lyte. Nicks battery Shea. Graduates C. C. H. S. Important Notice To all Graduates of the Cheyenne County High School. If your name lias been overlooked and you do not receive an announce ment, please take notice. Dear Graduate:— We, the class of 1920, are try ing to start an alumni associa tion, and would appreciate your co-operation very much in this undertaking. We will plan a banquet to be held at the Royal Cate in Chey enne Wells, Colorado; on the 27th day of August, 1921, if you wish to become a member of this association and to attend the banquet, we would 1 like to have you send us $1.60, which includes the banquet fees and the right of membership for one year. This fee must be remitted to us by the 20th of August, in order that we may know how many graduates will attend and so that we will have pleny of time to make the arrangements for the banquet. The purpose of the banquet is to organize the association and to attend to other matters that may be necessary. The purpose of the association is to uplift the school and to assemble all the graduates that they may talk over old school days together. We understand that others have attempted to organize such a society, and they did not suc ceed, but the school haB grown much larger since then and it really needs an association of this kind, other schools have it, why no. we? We sincerely trust that you will give us your loyal support. Yours sincerely, Zelda Jcnes, Elizabeth Spencer, Committee. County Fair Notes The Colorado State Department of Forestry has consented to 'place' an educational display on exhibit at the Cheyenne County Fair this year, an item of interest that will be appreciat ed by all who attend the fair. Letters coming in to the association Secretary indicate that the exhibits in all departinepts will greatly, exceed any previous year. Unusual interest is apparent. A very representative class of exhibitffwill be prepared here and sent to the State Fair at Pueblo the week following our Fair, when we expect Cheyenne County to again give an excellent account of herself. Heavy Rains Do Considerable Damage The heavy rains of Saturday even ing and Sunday caused considerable trouble along the Union Pacific up near Clifford, and Genoa on the Rock Island. The west bound Union Pacifio train Ho. 103, got bs far as Kit Carson SuAday night when they were ordered back to Oakley, Kansas, on accouut of a large number of feet of track being washed out near Clifford. ' Upon reaching tbis city they learned that they could not pass over the Island into Denver as were their in tentions on account of this track being washed away. All the U. P. trains were then held here until about five o'clock Monday evening when they got word that they could then cross the washout. M. E. Church Notes II is easier to smile than to frown! To frown you use slxty*four muscles, hut only thirteen to smile.
