Wedding at High Noon on
Thanksgiving Day.
NEWLY WEEDS WILL MAKE
HOME AT BALKO, OKLA.
Bride One of Holly's Most Popular
Young Ladiss-Groom Formerly
Cashier Of First National Bank
Is Popular Banker Of Oklahoma.

The leading nuptial event in
Holly the past season was the
quiet wedding at high noon on
Thanksgiving day at the home of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. w. Bryce in this city, when their
charming daughter. Miss Marie
Blanch Bryce, was married to Mr..
III. Edmund McKeever of Balko,
Oklahoma. The impressive ring
ceremony was pronounced by the
Rev. Wiley X. Wright, pastor of
the Presbyterian church.
Besides the immediate family of
the bride only Mr. Frank j. Cretch-
er, an intimate friend of the
family, and Miss Elithe McMurtry,
a life long friend and companion of
the bride, were present.
The Bryce home, one of the most
modern and congenial in Holly, was
delightfully."- decorated for the Oc-
casion with profusiOn of cut flow
ers and potted plants.
Following the ceremony the par
ty and guests were served de-
licious and very finely prepared
wedding breakfast, shortly after
which the newly welded couple in
the groom's auto, left for their fu-
ture home at Balko, Okla.
The event had been kept q secret
from the friends of both in Holly.
though their engagement had been
known for some time.
Miss Bryce has spent most of her
life in Holly, where she graduated
from the Holly grade and High
schools and has been most pOpu-
lar in church and social circles. In
fact she has been one of the most
popular young ladies of Holly.
Since her graduation from the High
school here, she had taught the
past two years in the Pueblo
schools.
Mr.. McKcever, the groom, is also
well known and highly esteemed in
Holly. For a number Of years he
was identified with the First Ma
tional bank of Holly as cashier,
where his efficiency and gen al per-
sonality won for him popularity
and high regard. He left here some
two years ago for Balko, Okla,
where he became identified with
the Balco State bank as cashier, in
which he is also stakeholder, and
which position he still retains.
During his residence in Holly Mr..
McKeever was most active in church
and civic movements of the town
and community.
The many friends here of this
splendid young couple will note
with pleasure their future happi-
ness and prosperity, at Balko or
wherever they may be located and
the best wishes of all who knew
them will follow them to their new
home.
Mr.. and Mrs. McKeever stopped
at Syracuse and Liberal, Kas., en-
route and reached Balko last .Sat-
urday night.

SERUM ADlGINISTERED
THREE CoNsEcU1IvE DAYS
Vaccination Of All school Children
Free Of Chargs-Businsss Firms In
Cities Say Vaccination Has Kept
Employees Free Of "Eiu."

To Patrons of Holly Public Schools:
The school authorities have de-
cided to cooperate in an official
way with the local health authori-
ties in combating the influenza
which is in our midst. 1t is within
the jurisdiction of school authori-
ties to provide adequate medical
inspection and supervision for the
school children. This we have de-
cided to do.
Beginning Wednesday, Dec. 4, the
school children are asked to come
to the High School building for vac
cinatiOn, The vaccination will be
under the supervision Of Dr. c. w.
Anderson of Denver. DR.. Anderson
will devote his entire time on the
days set apart to the vaccination
and inspection OF school children.
A Red Cross nurse will be in at
tendance to assist.
The serum will be administered
on three consecutive days as three
tIC0CulClllS u1O 4C4uA GU. xI0CA
child treated should come to the
building on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday for treatment. The fol
lowing schedule is adopted; chill
dren in grades and 8, from 900 to
l0:O0 a. m; grades 5 and 6, from
1000 to u:O0 a. m; grades 8 and 4,
from u:00 q. m. to u M; grades
and 2, from loo to 300 p. m; High
School students, from 200 to 400
p. m. The time required for vacci-
nation will not necessitate children
being away from home more than
30 minutes each day. All children
will be properly cared for while at
the building.
The serum used is furnished by
the United States government and
will be administered entirely free
to school children. It is now being
demonstrated in many places that
vaccination very materially assists
in stamping out influenza. Busi-
ness firms in many of our cities who
have vaccinated their employees,
have been entirely free from the dis
ease. The United States govern
ment recommends vaccination.
School will be re-Opened only on
advice of the proper health Off
cials. If there is still influenza in
the community q school physician
will be employed and only those
children who have been vaccinated
will be admitted. These regulations
will be enforced as long as school
authorities deem it necessary.
Children who have been vaccinat-
cd should secure certificates of vac
cination from the physician render
ing the treatment. Children who
are sick and unable to come to the
building should make arrange
ments for vaccination at later
time
This treatment is entirely free for
school children. Remember that
three treatments are necessary, one
each day for three consecutive days.
The first treatment should be ad-
ministered on Wednesday, Dec. 4,
at the time specified.
