The Holly chieftain., 1899-08-11

We are pained to learn Of the death
OF Al. Hotel. manager Of the Lamar
Milling and Elevator Co., which oc-
Cured on Wednesday evening. Mr..
Hotel was one OF the most enterpris-
ing business men of Lamar, was we'll
known and universally respected
throughout Prowers county, and his
sudden demise Is sincerely regretted
by all.
In mentioning the departure Of Col.
Holland last week VIC neglected to
speak Of the amiable Mrs. Holland,
whose influence during her residence
among the colonists has done great
good. She won the hearts Of all with
whom she became acquainted, by
her noble character, and her depart
ure was universally regretted by the
cOlOnists.
Another excursion Is being talked
up by the passenger department OF the
Santa Fe, which contemplates trip
to Green Mountain Falls. Although
nothing definite has yet boon given
out 1t Is quite probable that the
scheme will be carried out and the
round trip fare win be 600, which is
about the same rate given on the cx.
cursiOn to Marshall Pass.
Slxty-three Hollyites were disap-
pointed last Sunday morning, when
they started on the excursion to
Marshall Pass but had to return on
account Of washout near Carlton.
The size Of the crowd entirely surpass-
ed the expectations of everybody as
1t was hardly thought probable that
over TWENTY-FIVE would take in the ex-
cursion. Although the excursion
had to be abandoned so far as Holly
was concerned, large crowds from La-
mar and other towns up the valley
took It in and it was a great success
giving satisfaction to the pleasure
seekers as well as good returns to the
Santa Fe.
]. B. Traxler says that he has no
trouble now in satisfying the consum-
ers Of this district and that he feels
confident that his duties are success.
S. N. Canficld and J..I. Banks
came up from Holly last Thursday
and assisted John Herman In making
proof upon timber culture entry
down in their neighborhood.
S. +. White, the pushing Holly
merchant, was In Lamar last Thurs
day, on business matters OF his own,
and also closing up the contract for
the erection Of a new school house ut
Holly.
G. L. Mcpherson. the old time bus
mess man and stock raiser OF Holly,
was taking In the improvements OF

to enjoy himself, too, while he was
here.-Lamar Register.

HAWAII NEI-By Mabel Craft. 'Tis a
long time since book on 1.-THE Islands"
the equal of this one has appeared. 1t
might be called a descriptive work, but
at the same time it is free from all the
dry preamble that frequently character
ICES such productions. The gushiness of
the other extreme is also lacking. Con-
sequently the book is a readable one. A
perusal of the pages will be found most
interesting and profitable. Miss Craft has
managed to look at the islands and the
people from several points of view She
shows the sentimental as well as the
prosaic side of the inhabitants lives.
Much of the material has been gathered
outside beaten paths, so that several new
and interesting features are depicted. The
illustrations are highly creditable and of
a new style Of Photographic reproduction.
