We received this week from Mr..
Wlnterhalter lengthy article on the
subject Of good roads with the request

vice on the subject. Our roads are In
the hands of Ed Brown and we will
trust him to keep them in good shape.
Commander Booth Tucker. Col.
Thos. Holland and some other officers

held there today. Prizes to the
amount of s75 will be distributed

Does it not strike our town readers
that the Holly band is making great
improvement, that 1t does more than
anything else toward enlivening the
town, and that 1t deserves not only
words Of praise and encouragement
but financial evidence of Que appre.
citation as well? No town in the state
the size of Holly can boast of such an
etficient band, and there are but few
larger towns that can, and the boys
who are working SO faithfully to pro-
mote it are to be commended for their
efforts. Let some enterprising citizen
start band fund, and thus encourage
the boys to greater efforts.

Holly lateral met last Friday at w.
