Nests Monday Nj G ght-co o m 9

Meets Monday M g ht-c o m 9
The Holly Mems club will hold
an especially called meeting at
the High School auditorium at
500 p. m. Mondayl Feb. 14th, to
which the ladies' of the town are
cordially invited. THE following
subjects are suggested for dis
cussion:
"A Spotisss Town."
The CurfeW."
III ! Were Mayor"
Any other subjects which may
properly be brought before the
club may also be- taken up by
those present.
It is perhaps well to state that
this club has no political or Sec
tartan affiliations a nd desires
none. Neither are the meetings
of the club the proper time or
place for criticism of the town
administration or officials.
1t is the desire of the club to
lift its members to / plane above
petty fault-finding and criticism,
and to point the way to better
things which we may, by our
united efforts, attain mot thru
process Of tearing down, but
by building up our ideals and de-
sires for them.
All are invited to attend this
meeting and we hope you will
not miss the opportunity to be
present.

On Monday last j. G.. Davis,
acting for Mrs. G. E. DUNCAN, dis
posed of the dental practice and
equipment of DIR. C. E. DUNCAN,
deceased, to DR.. w. s. Avery,
capable dentist who has been prac.
ticing at both Bristol and Wiley,
for several years past.
Until further notice DR.. Avery
will be in Holly every day except
Mondays, which he will devote to
his practice at Wiley. the insistent
demands of that section compelling
his presence at least one day each
week.
DR.. Avery is a graduate of North.
western Medical university, the
same institution where the late DR..
DUNCAN was graduated, and is a
thorough and painstaking dentist.
The Doctor and his amiable wife
contemplate the erection of a home
in Holly this spring, the location
of which has not yet been deter.
mined, but both are desirous of re-
siding here, where they have
many friends.
The Chieftain bespeaks for DR..
Avery the same liberal patronage
bestowed upon his predecessor,
: and welcomes the young couple to
our midst.

Eps7s FEET m HIGH

Fairmont has a real live ski artist,
from Stockholm, Sweden. This is the
mysterious. man the natives here have
been seeing gliding with phantom;like
speed through the night on long, slen:
der runers.
The mans name IS Burger Malm.
gquist and he has been practicing on
the hills of this county for a ski meet.
ing TO be held I'M Cleveland next1week.
There he will meet the expert ski
performers from the United States and
( Canada who will gather to try their
skill in various feats of strength and
agility on the long runners.
Malmquist won the high jump Of
over rs feet at the first meeting Of
this kind held in Massachusetts in
1918. That is quite q jump too, from
the local view point, although In
Stockholm no doubt It is a common oc-
currence.
Malmquist is employed here at the
Owens Bottle Machine company's
plant, where he is mold maker. He
came from Stockholm four years ago,
but he only has been in Fairmont for
the past 1s months.
