A bargain Hunter.

At recent meeting when the Social
circle nad met alter the business OF
the evning had been finished, vari-
Gus good stories were tod. "A prom
inent attorney VINO was present re-
iated an incident that happened III
MS otnce. When he admitted the
cailer-wno was lady, he was all
smiles and to be social, entered into
little chat but to get to busi-
ness.
You want to engage my services,
you says" asked the lawyer, rubbing
his hands together.
Yes, replied the lady, with her
eyes out OF the window
About how much would you want
to pay for advice?'
"low much is it yard?" inquired
the lady, absent -mindedly.

AVERTING A STRIKE.

The threatened strike of the
trainmen is rapidly being minim-
lied thru the granting of increased
pay to them by many of the trans
continental lines, among them the
Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and
Salt Lake roads. The Pennsyl-
vania this week granted an in
crease of 10 percent to all per-
manent employees.
President Ripley was inter
viewed in Los Angeles last week,
and said: The various unions
will not get all they are asking for.
l cannot state now just what de-
partments are likely to receive
increased pay or how much; but
the railroads will grant something
soon.'
The Holly chieftain., 1906-11-16
Yes, Yes.

If any doubt ever existed regarding
til nerve OF the Como Record, read
this original and ponder: Doctor
said the sweet young thing who had
just arrived from the East, I've been
told that eating cucumbers will re-
move freckles.' SO they will under
one condition. replied DR. Lathrop.
And what is that?" That is if the
frcckles are on the cucumbers.'

Not Manhood.

lntemperance and vice in young
men and boys is generally the out
come OF mistaken idea OF what con
stitutes manhood. They think that
the test OF true manhood is the smok-
ing OF the strongest cigar possible,
the drinking OF the largest number OF
the boys, Tor they have been taught
tins from their elders. We Older peo-
pie who have the molding OF these
young lives are to blame.

The election is over and all sores
are pretty nearly healed ere this,
SO we would call attention to the
fact that it is quite apparent that
the ring in Lamar has things SO
perfectly systematized that no
man who claims Holly as his home
can be elected to county office
under any circumstances. They
all like Holly-for her votes-but
Holly is boycotted by that little
ring at the county seat just as
surely as Missouri went Repub-
lican two years ago. There are
two if not three newspapers in the
county that may stir up things a
little bit about the first OF the
year with the view to breaking
this ring.
The Holly chieftain., 1906-11-16

You don't like a person very
well that tells you the absolute,
homely truth. But it really does
you whole lot of good unless,
perchance, you are SO swelled- d-up
that you cannot see the truth.
Most OF us profit thereby. There
are not SO very many newspapers
except in the extreme west-in the
mountain regions that dare
speak the homely truth. They
are usually afraid they will lose
subscriber or a chance to exchange
advertising space tor an editorial
railroad pass. The Chieftain is
not OF that stripe. 1t is an index
to a live community and in order
that the community may continue
to thrive while the psople thereof
; prosper the local newspaper must
/ exercise the duty OF commenting
upon any public gathering or pub
lie institution that may give it
just cause to do SO. These COM
ments should never be taken as
offensive atfronts, for paper
would lose Its power it given to
violent personal attacks, and, too,
the criticisms are and should be
taken as friendly suggestions for
the benefit OF the community and
the institutions SO brought to pub
lie notice. The farther west one
goes the more noticeable is the fact
that the people seldom take news
paper comments as personal
atfront, but as q general comment
upon conditions that should be i'm
proved for the benefit of the COM
munity.

ALL SHOULD
ENTER BIRDS
Poultry Exhibition to Be
of EduCative
Value.

Novice poultry keepers should not
abandon the idea of exhibiting their
best birds at the coming show, because
they may not seem to meet all the re-
quirements of the standard.
The small fee charged for entering a
bird in the show may prove a profit
able investment, simply through plac-
ing the best specimens of exhibitors
alongside other fine birds for close
comparison, and a talk with some
body regarding the defects of their
birds and the special merits of the
winners.
This will teach them to avoid errors
in next seasons f1ocks. and surely
put them WISE for the next show.
Enter today and tomorrow with ST
c. Sayres, at w. NJ. McChesney & Sons
Queen street.
Saturday will be the last day for
making entries, and the Hawaiian
Poultry Association want to show ev-
cry good specimen.

arrange a game with the Portuguese,

Trimming the Trees.

Newton Smith, who was elected bor-
ough electrician at the last meeting of
council, is now in charge of the local
electric light plant.
In addition to his everyday duties
the electrician, assisted by James Glib
son. just now is engaged in trimming
the trees throughout the borough to
prevent grounding This is process
necessary at least once year. The
limbs are continually expanding by
growth, in addition to which the
branches weighted by the rank foli-
age, droop until they come in contact
with the wire. Grounding" caused
in this way, leads not only to loss of
electricity but the current proves very
injurious to the trees.
The electrician and assistant are GO
ing over the entire borough trimming
out the trees so as to leave the wires
everywhere swinging clear. Here and
there the two men meet with a mild
remonstrance from property owners,
who do not like to see their trees in
terfered with, but opposition general
ly melts away when the parties are
informed that the trimming of the
trees is for the common good of all.

Thieves Operate New Scheme.

The thieves who have been plying
their shady vocations in this vicinity
for some time past have varied their
operations by proceeding in manner
seldom heard of before to separate peo-
pie from their rightful property. Their
latest conception, which has been very
successfully carried out, was to steal
boats from towns up the river, bring
ing them down to Danvflle. selling
them here for what they could obtain
and then in turn stealing other boats
at this place disposing of them else
where.
AS result of it all several residents
of the second ward are minus their
foot boats, while at least one of the
boats stolen at Catawissa was recover
ed in this city. The Danville man,
who purchased the Catawissa boat,
paying two dollars for it, was obliged
to turn the little craft over to the party
that claimed it. Among the Danville
people whose river crafts were spirit
ed away is N. O. Prentiss, whose boat
lay in the river near the foot of Rail
road street. The success of the Cata-
wissa man in recovering his boat has
suggested to the losers in this city
the advisahility of making short trip
up and down the river for the purpose
of tracing their boats.
There is nothing to prevent them
from recovering their boats, if able to
identify them. A gentleman in this
city, who had paid hard earned cash
for boat brought here, and who was
not swift enough in delivering the
boat over when an alleged owner ap-
peared, Monday night, was subjected
to the indignity of an arrest and in
strengthening out the matter was fore
ed to lose not only what he had paid
on the boat but also to pay consider
able sum in costs.
Boats lie in the river here by scores
and many of them are quite valuable.
All the thief has to do whose fancy
turns to boats is merely to take his
pick and it may be days or weeks be-
fore the theft is discovered. Inhabit-
ants of tha river towns should be put
on their guard and when men ap-
pears with a boat which he offers for
sale at a bargain he should be regard
ed with suspicion.
