MERCHANTS ENTHUSIASTIC
FOR GOOD SHOW THIS YEAR
Executive and other Committees
Appointed to Make Necessary Ar
rangements for Best Celebration
Ever Held in Lower Valley.

Yes, Holly will celebrate the
Glorious Fourth this year.
That was the unanimous and en-
thusiastic decision reached at a
called meeting of the Commercial
Club held last Friday night to dis
cuss the proposition.
President Dicks, in opening the
meeting, suggested that the crop
outlook was encouraging and that
people generally, were feeling quite
prosperous, and in mood to cele-
brate.
Albert Morich of the MOrich Fur
niture Co., favored celebration
for the reason that people wanted
to have good time on the Fourth
and if there was nothing doing at
home they would go elsewhere He
favored a good show and an aero
plane flight as a headliner if we
could secure flyer.
l.. NJ. Appel strongly favored a eel
ebration on the ground OF business
policy. He declared that to pull off
good celebration here was a good
advertisement for the town. He
thought we ought to put on good
show and get the people of the
country together here for a good
time
G. A. Jewett, in endorsing the SEN
timent expressed, emphasized the
idea that to keep up the life and
growth of the town we had to do
things and that good wholesome
celebration was in that direction.
On motion of Mr.. Appel and sec
Onded by Edward Haberstroh, it
was declared by the club that Holly
celebrate, and Mr.. Haberstroh urg-
ed that we should get up program
which would be credit to the
town.
Prof. X. A. Shanner thought this
the logical year for Holly to cele-
brate since Lamar wOud not get up
celebration this year.
On motion the following eXecu-
tive comcittee and the various sub
committees were then selected to
carry out the arrangements for the
biggest celebration yet held in the
town.

SNoDGRASS FOOD COMPANY
OPENED THIS MORNING
Store the Pride of the Valley and
Opened Up in Fine Shape
With Full Force.

The Snodgrass Food company
opened its new Holly store and
meat market this morning right on
schedule time with everything in
the finest kind of shape.
Mr.. IT, +. Snodgrass of Trinidad.
president and general manager of
the company, sprung a little sur
prise by dropping in this morning
accompanied by Rea Ward, mana
ger of the La Junta store, b F.
Woodland, manager at Las Animas,
and j. f. Rose, manager of the La
mar branch.
Manager Pearson and his assis-
tant, Harry Bowers. have complete
ly transformed the Hardy store
since the Snodgrass Food Co. took
it over a couple of weeks ago. The
whole interior of the store, as well
as all the fixtures, have been reno
waited and repainted, and the ar
rangement completely changed.
Carnations had been secured for
the opening and each lady visitor
was presented with one of these
beautiful cut flowers Another
feature of the opening was the smile
of j. f. Amman at the meat de
partment. Mr.. Amman operated a
meat market here some years ago
and will be remembered by old
residents.
The Snodgrass store is beauty
and would do credit to a city as
well as to the town of Holly, which
by the way, has got her second wind
and is going to be city.

And then Tom Thumb looked up

after we have met all the dear peo-
pie in Mother Goose, you and l will
retrace our steps, and I'll take you
to my old home. Yes. back to my
old garnet where l first saw the
portrait of my illustrious father"
and then Puss Junior curled his
whiskers and sat up very straight,
for he felt proud to think that he
had gone through so many wonder
full adventures.
And then the little old man got
up and said:

Very well, Grandfather" said the
little yellow hen. and she got out
the candles. And when they were
all lighted, she showed Puss and
Tom TO their room at the head of a
crooked little flight OF stairs. 1t
had two small windows shaped like
stars, and the moonlight made little
gold stars all over the carpet. Puss
set his candle down on the little
plc-crust table, and said:
Little Nanny Ettigoat
In a white pettiocaL
And a red nose;
The longer she stands
The shorter she Grows"
Then my good Sir Cat" said the
little yellow hen with a bow, you
had better blow out Little Nanny

the light OF the little gold stars on
the carpet"
Well. it didn't take Puss and Tom
Thumb long to get into bed, and
they both were so tired that they
fell asleep as soon as their heads
touched the soft white pillow. And
the little gold stars on the carpet
staid there until the big yellow sun
in the morning chased them back
into the sky again.
