often asked, Wherefore pride? 1t IS
not that we have the talleSt building,

With this kind oil genuine manhood
the citizens can wei be proud when
they say:

With this nucleus and manIin.Ss
and true citizenship, the future great
ness OF Holly is only measured by
the boundless prairie.
She is located in the midst ol the
best irrigated and best settled sec
ton OF the country east OF Rocky
Ford, and with almost every farmer
as far west as Sand creek and as lar
east as the STATE line, she has a bond
OF friendship.
The proverbial glad hand and
open hospitality with which the farm
cr is greeted on his visit to Holly
makes him feel he is among friends,
and makes him glad to accept our
hospitality and visit us again.

THIS body ot men might well be a
study for code who are interested
in the building of towns, as showing
what can be done by few men who
have the r, al interest OF communi-
ty at heart They had no real al
thority in taking Office and their only
influence for good was that OF moral

under the moral influence OF these
men. Occasionally some would-bc
bad man would want to get out his
shooting iron, but the simple idea
that Holly stood Tor every man
ninding his own business and inter
t, ring with no one clse's, induced
him to quiet down.
This board organized in the inter
est OF the farmers, the canning fac
tory and also put under way the op-
Grafton OF skimmng station. and
in fact did all that could be done ior
a town of our size during their al
ministration. They controlled the sa-
looms and by their moral influence
saw that the saloons OF the town
were conducted quietly and properly.
In generations to come, when ltol-
ly will have taken her place among
the big cities OF the valley and the
rotten government which usually OBJ
tains with growth. /, in force, the
citizens may well look back and wish
that Holly could be run in the best
intcrt SIS OF its citizens as it was I'M.

No admission was charged to any

tended to them the glad hand II
was the hearty good feeling that cX-
listed between the townspeople and
farmers which induced the farmers
to bring what they had to exhibit. 1t
was the kindly feeling between oar

large delegations to help us have a

The prizes were not of great value
