DIED

Alva Wigger. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. T. Wigger, passed to
the Great Beyond on Friday last,
after a lingering illness of tuber-
culosis of the bone, aged 18 years.
Deceased was likely lad and
his friends were legion. Altho
everything that medical skill
could suggest was given him, the
youth passed quietly away, death
coming as a relief after months
of suffering. As a quenched star
comes down to us long after it is
forgotten. so will the memory of
Alva Wigger linger in our hearts
forever. The sympathy of the
community is extended to the be-
reaved parents in this their dark
est hour.

HOLLY NOW BROOM
CORN METROPOLIS
Over $4,000 Worth Shipped to
Eastern Manufacturers in
the Past Year.

AS the year 1915 is gradually
closing, a few words about broom
corn and broom corn growers
seem apropos. in view of the
numerous broom corn buyers that
are now making" Holly.
During the year there were
grown in both Prowers and Baca
counties about $4,000 tons of
broom corn. for which the grow
ers realized about $25, 600. 90 in
cold cash, practically all of which
was shipped from Holly to broom
manufacturers all over the
United States.
During September and October
buyers from twelve different
states were here. endeavoring to
buy the product at any price
within the bounds of reason, as
the broom corn crop throughout
the United States was much be-
low the average.
Thus it will be seen that Holly
ranks second to hone in the State
as a broom corn centre, and it is
attracting people constantly from
both the Central and Eastern
States not for broom corn alone,
but for its rare diversity of crops.
AS The Chieftain goes to press,
a small army of men and teams
are at the broom corn platform
loading car after car of the finest
broom corn ever seen here, and
the price today varies from $50
to $1O5 per ton.
