THE HOLLY CHIEFTAIN
VOLUME XIL
PROWERS COUNTY
PRINTING?
The commissioners were in
session this week and allowed the
usual monthly bills. No action
was taken in the matter of ap
pointments, as Chairman Rey
nolds is still absent in Texas.
The hold-overs are very well sat
isfied with the condition of af
fairs.—Sparks.
Isn’t it about time that bids
thould te asked for relative to
the county printing—or will the
offices outside of Lamar continue
to be hoodwinked—t> the detri
ment of the taxpayer—who is
anxious to at least catch a flying
glimpse of the county’s funds??

TWO CLASSES OF FARMERS?
A spoaker once said: “There
are Iwo classes of farmers, one
class who farm the soil and an
otner class who farm the farmers.”
Lhis dees not apply as much as it
did vears ago. Practical by voca
tion . (b surronndings, the modern
furmer has pretty well quit being
farmed. Better op, ortunities for
soner d education have placed the
: farnicr in a position well able to
3 protect bimself, and the cartoous

i chestnut tree. The average farmer
of today is as shrcwd as the aver
age business man. not ouly that

HE IS A CRIMINAL
Tlere is no greater criminal in
the world than that man who know
ingly and persistently, persues the
course that must eventually de
stroy him either phisically, men
tally or moraily—or all. And yet
there are those who, with eyes
’ wide open. walk in a path they can
see is strewn with dead men’s
bones yet persist in knocking every
; legitimate enterprise in their midst.
The Pace That Kills
J. Harry Maunderville, of Cool
ilze, a gay and festive youth who
always put up a forty dollar talk
on a forty cent capital, is behind
the bars of the Kansas ludustrial
‘ school for trying to pass a bogus
check drawn on the First National
Bank of Holly for $34.50, i d will
Liave seven years to repent of his
¢ folly for choosing the pace that
© kills.

A KNOWN FACT
More towns die for wauvt of con
fidence on the part of the business
men and lack of public spirit than
any other cause. says a floating
editorial. When a man in search
of o home or a business location
goes into a town and finds everv
thing brim full of hope and enthu
siasm ot the prospects of the place
and all earnestly at work to build
it up. he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit. and as a re
sult he drives down stakes and
goes to work with the same inter.
est. When, however, he goes to a
town where overyone expresses
doubt aund apprehension for the
prosperity of the place. moping
about and indulging in mournful
complaints. he naturally feels that
it is no place for him. and he at
once shakes the dust from his feet
while hie pulls out with all possible.
speed for some other town, Con
sequently try to make a live enter
prising town out of the town in
which you live. When you are
working for your town yon are ac
complishing al! the more for your
self.

Whole hog or none. Holly's
town council has raised saloon
license from fifteen hundred dollars
a year to three thousand dollars.
As Holly is puiting in a water
system this may be a scheme to
force the people to swear off booze
and learn to drink water.—Las

The town board at Holly has re
cently raised the saloon license
from §1,500 to $3,000 per year and
it is said that neither of the two
saloons doing business there will
quit, The anti-saloon people
seem to think that if they cannot
oust the saloons they will at least
make them contribute more to the
support of the town.—Ordway
