HolLY...A TOWN
WITH 4 FUTURE
By Q New Arrival.)

For one who has lived Q decade
In the high altitude OF the San Luis
valley, the lower altitude of the Ar
kansas valley affords a great relief
rs well as Q decided comfort in con-
ditions-fav0rable to q great. degree
to the lower country. To one un-
used to the broad slopes and tower
ing peaks of the Rockies they af-
ford many inspiring views and
novel experiences, and the panor.

they are never twice the same.
On the other hand the dweller
among the mountains finds some
thing exceedingly restful in the
long vistas Of wonderful fertility,
the illimitable stretches of alfalfa,
and the fields which reveal the
fruits OF extensive cultivation. To
at least one resident of the mount
aims, therefore, Holly seems q place
that is most desirable, either rs
residence OF business location.
Possibly the greatest asset Holly
has today is residence town is
the foundation of splendid
school system as seen in the fine
equipment Of buildings. The new
arrival cannot fail to be impressed
by the high school building, for
its very appearance begets conf
dence and admiration, increased
vastly when the building is exam
ined. That the equipment is al
ready doing effective work Is evid-
ent by the high tone and pleasing
appearance OF the young people.

2 block or two blocks devoted to
park purposes, with walks and
seats, as well appointed and as well
kept as the railroad park, and
containing flower beds, Towering
bushes, shade trees and play
grounds. i.
But the writer's impression of
Holly is, that it Is an energetic,
ambitious, and self-respecting and
advancing community; an ideal
town for homes and children, free
from moral and physical dangers.
The residents Of Holly can we'll say;

origin of which may ever remain
a mystery, consumed the honey
house of A. D. Bennett, four

building and its contents to the
ground. The fire was discovered
by the Honeystuff1e brothers,
near neighbors. who came to the
rescue of Mr.. Bennett who was
peacefully slumbering in his resi-
dence not ten feet distant. The
prompt arrival of the Honey
stuft1e boys perhaps saved the
life Of Mr.. Bennett, and also the
residence property, which was
protected from the ravages of
the flames by the valiant efforts
of these two men.
The total damage was about
$500, fully covered by insurance.

admissions of the British government.

city. A force of about 10000 rebels
is opposing the British government
authorities in Dublin and neighboring
Irish counties, it was asserted.
The reports had it that John Mac
Neill, leader of the Irish volunteers,
bad been shot, but whether in the
fighting or after arrest had not been
learned.
That the activities of Sir Roger
Easement were partly financed by
Irish-Americans who contributed more
than 100000 to the cause, was the
assertions made here today by Jere-
miah A. OLeary, director of the
United Irish societies of this city

TO a statement made Wednesday

Whether the government will under

Some letters and other documents,
it was asserted, bear the signatures
of men who have been leaders in tn
home rule propaganda in this coun-
try. Methods of raising funds for the
equipment of Irish revolutionists were
discussed freely and in some of the
letters appeals were made for fnan-
cial aid.

PARABLE Of
THE F|G TREE
VAS The TEXT
OF EVANGELIST WILLIAMS AT
THE TABERNACLE LAST NIGHT
- BAPTlSTS OUT IN FORCE =
GENERAL NOTES.

DR.. NJ. B. Williams, the evangelist,
preaching at the union tabernacle
meeting last night, used the parable
of the fig tree for his text and de-
livered one of the best sermons in
the series. The tabernacle was about
full, and there were nearly 800 in
the big chorus. The Baptists of the
city attended in a body and made a
great showing Tonight all the Chris
tians in the city will meet at the
First Christian church at 1880 and
from there will go to the tabernacle
in a body. The Baptists last night
carried banners with the following
slogans inscribed on them: "Down
With Sunday Baseball" and "Ardmore
For Christ"
The cottage prayer meetings con
Quoted throughout the city yesterday
were largely attended, and in some
cases persons who were formerly
members of the church, but had
grown cold, were reclaimed. Prayer
meetings were held again this morn
| ing in twenty-three different sections
of the city.
When the invitation was extended
| last night the interest and earnest
ness on the part of all personal work
ers was interesting and predicted con-
siderable interest on the part of the
churches to win souls throughout the
remainder of the campaign. Scarcely
| had the evangelist closed his re-
marks until personal workers were in
practically every pew of the big taber-
nacle.
In his remarks last night, DR.. Will
, liams stated that the wonderful par
able of the fig trees of course could
be found only in the bible and that
! the like of which can be found in
no other literature. "The bible is
the oldest book in the world, yet 1t
sells better today than all other
books. Panics, droughts, and famines
never keep it from selling. You can't
be educated and not know the scrip
lures in any branch of learning, un-
less it be mathematics. Whether it
be literature, history, art poetry or
drama, it is in the bible. What's
the cause of all our juvenile disturb
ances? When you and I were boys
we had to attend chapel, hear the
bible read and prayers offered, but
now the bible is barred from our
schools. What this country needs
is to get back to prayer and scrip
ture reading in the public schools.
At this point the evangelist gave
many beautiful lessons from the par
able used as his text, and the eager
listeners caught every word with
much effect He illustrated how the
church is the salt of the earth and
made a forceful argument in favor
of its upbuilding in this community.
He stated that Ardmore was a good
little city and that he had found
some of the best people in the world
