Post Office Information.

Hereafter the mails which arrive
at 9:37 and s11:17 on Sundays will
not be distributed until after, church
services are over, say about IL ~.
The office force will come directly
from church to the Office and put up
these mails. All mails will be dis
patched as usual. The daily papers
which arrive on the early morning
train will be distributed about nine
O'Clock, so all renters of boxes can
get their daily paper in plenty time
to go to church. So now there is no
use for any patron of the Office to stay
away from church on account OF
waiting to get his mail on Sunday,
as it will not be distributed until
after services, as above stated. We
do this to allow the clerks to attend
church, which they cannot do If they
distribute these mails, as they can
not get through with the first mail
in time for service. The postal laws
and regulations require to do this,
as will be seen from the following
quotation:
Paragraph 4 of section 2Ss: Third
and fourth class post offices need not
be opened on Sundays unless a mail
or mails arrive during the time be-
tween the Saturday closing hour and
6 D. NJ. Sunday. If such a mail does
arrive and the public convenience re-
auires it's delivery on Sunday, the
office NAY be opened to the public
not more than once nor for more
than one hour, and the time of SER
vice to patrons MUST NOT be during
that of church services"
We feel sure that a majority of the
patrons of the Office will endorse this
action, in fact all who have expressed
themselves to US have been pleased
that the government adopted such a
regulation. The general delivery
window will be opened on Sundays
Immediately after the mail is dis
tributed.
Mail will positively not be- handed
from lock boxes. Learn your combi-
nation or have your key with you,
for we are not going to violate this
rule for anybody. We dent want to
be unaccommodating, but there is
other work we should be doing in
stead of handing out mail from boxes
So don't ask us, for we will certainly
decline. We are of course glad to
learn combinations to all who are en-
titled to them and to please the
people in every way possible, but this
is one regulation that is going to be
absolutely carried out. Some people
may not like it, but we feel that a
majority of the patrons will see a
good reason for the rule and endorse
1t.

ACCUSED OF KILLING.
White Man Taken to Aiken BY Rural
Officer.

Aiken, December 26.-This morn
ing Rural Policeman Atkinson
brought to Aiken Bob Kitchings,
white, charged with killing an un-
known negro near Beulah church,
on Christmas day, about noon.
Very little is known of the killing.
It seems that Kitchins picked up the
negro some miles from his home and
drove on home, and when in the back
yard he claims the negro tried to
take his team and he refused the
negro. Kitchings says that the negro
then struck him and he pulled his
pistol and shot the negro through the
head.
The white man told some one that
he had shot the negro and the police
man went to arrest Kitchings. The
negro was not found last night, but
this morning he was found sitting in
the buggy, dead.
The coroner has gone to the scene
and an inquest will be held to-day.

WESTERN COURAGE

History records many an in
stance of heroism on the part of
the women who helped build the
great West-and the woman is
still helping.
Here in Holly we have woman
who is entitled to place in the
history of the upbuilding of the
state in Miss Ethel Hoover, form
erly of Chicksha, Okla, who re-
moved to this section several
years ago and located on a home
stead.
Being entirely upon her own
resources. Miss Hoover has been
compelled to do all the work on
her claim herself, she plowing,
planting, cultivating and reaping
all crops herself.
Locating upon 160 acres of land
some twelve miles from any town,
and at the time practically
wilderness overrun with wild ami
mails, snake, etc., where man was
seldom to be seen,. where nature
stood as she had stood for count
less years, this remarkable action
of Miss Hoover in turning the raw
prairies into productive farm
entirely through her own efforts
and without any assistance in the
making of crops. etc, stands out
as brilliant tribute to her and
to womankind in general.
At the present time Miss Hoov-
er is harvesting her crop, and the
yield promises to be that of which
any person could be proud, and
when one stops to think that this
immense crop was planted, tend
ed and harvested by a young girl
scarcely out of her teens he will
agree with the Chieftain that
Miss Hoover is entitled to a place
in the history of the West.

KAIN-BAKER

Stealing a march on their
friends, Miss Lenora Kain and
VIM. E. Baker, whose marriage
was to take place last Saturday,
were married in Denver )ast Fri
day afternoon, leaving the same
day for Colorado Springs on a
a brief honeymoon trip.
Miss Lenora Kain was a south
ern girl, coming to Denver sew
eral years ago from Tennessee,

Baker of this city, and grew to
manhood here, he at present hold
ing a responsible position with
the Holly Sugar Co., in Denver.
The fellow employees of Mr..
Baker had prepared an elaborate
reception and entertainment for
the young couple, and it was to
escape this which caused them to
change their plans and become
married before the date set,
which was Saturday.
A long, happy life to them, is
the wish Of the Holly people.

JOHN p. SAVERS

The community was shocked
Tuesday afternoon to hear that
John P. Sayers, for the past
twenty years a resident of this
section, had dropped dead at his
home, death being caused by
heart failure.
Mr.. Sayers had been a sufferer
from this disease for number of
years, but had not been feeling
any worse than usual lately, and
his death came as a great sur
prise and shock.
He was born in Indiana in 1S48,
coming to this section in 1896.
He was good citizen and leaves
widow and four children to
cherish the memory of a good
husband and father.
Funeral services were held

PRIMARY ELECTION

Primary election day passed off
very quietly in Holly, but little
interest, apparently, being taken
by the voters.
Out of a total registration in
the two precincts of six hundred
and eighty, only one hundred and
thirtyfour took enough interest
to go to the polls, the Republicans
voters numbering sixty-eight,
Democrats fifty-two and Pro-
gressives fourteen. One Socialist
by the name of Nelson, formerly
of Lamar, presented himself at
the polls but when he found there
was no Socialist ticket he refused
to vote.
Hubert Work was the choice of
the local Republicans for U. S.
Senator, while Nicholson was
was their choice for governor.

ROBINSON-LEWIS

Last Wednesday evening at 8
O'Clock, at the residence of the
groom's parents in Rocky Ford,
the marriage of Miss Ruth Rob-
inson of this town to Ivan Lewis
of that place, was performed, the
Rev. Warren of the M. E. church
officiating.
Miss Ruth Robinson had long
been a resident of the Holly sec
ton, being a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John L. Robinson, and she
numbers her friends by the hun
dreds. She was one of the most
popular girls in the younger So
cial set and Of a charming dis
position.
Ivan Lewis is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ezra Lewis, and at one
time resided here. He is an hon
est, straightforward young man
and holds a responsible position
with the sugar company in the
above named town at present.
Holly extends congratulations
to the happy couple, and hopes
that at some time in the future
they may make their home here.

LECTURE COURSE

The Holly High School has
taken it upon itself this year to
promote a lecture course. Being
a larger school than any of the
past years it will make an excel
lent course possible. The course
for the year is as follows.
September Is, Ray Newton the
Prince of Magic.
October %, Sechi Ikemeto, the
World Famous Japanese lecturer.
December Is. The White Star
Concert Company. three young
ladies', the best of the kind on
the road. They have made good
all year at chautauquas.
January 26, Thomas McClaray

February Is, The Fraternity
Glee Club. These four girls can
not be excelled in their line of
entertainment. They will be
great.
April 26, The Mestersingers.
A quartet of boys who are most
excellent.
The high school students are
offering this course of six num-
bers for the year for the small
sum of S1.5O. Because the high

cause you expect the support and
patronage of these high school
students, some of whom come
for many miles from Holly, these
students expect your support
both financially and otherwise for
their enterprise.
