gether with his brother Edward

Running Again.
COAL RESTRICTIONS ARE
RAISED; SITUATION BETTER
BY Close Watch of Local Agent
Hurd, Local Dealers, and Rail
road Officials Holly Got Through
Siege Without Serious Suffering.

Division of the Santa Fe officially
notified Local Agent G. w. Hurd
last Friday that all normal traffic
over his division which was recent
ly curtailed as a result of the coal
strike. would be resumed today,
Thursday. Dec. 18th, and it was hop
ed that passenger schedules would
soon be back to the published pro-
gram.
The tense coal situation at Holly
has also been materially relieved
by the lifting of fuel restrictions
throughout the country. However,
1t was only through the most care
ful watching of the coal supply on
the part of Local Agent Hurd and
local coal dealers that Holly and
vicinity were kept from want of
fuel.
For more than six weeks there
has not been a pound of extra coal
. in the storage bins of either of the
local coal dealers, and when car
Of coal has arrived here during this
time it has often been all taken by
consumers in from two to three
hours from the time the car was
spotted on the side track.
While there is as yet no surplus
of coal in Holly and the coal is
still being taken about as fast as
it arrives the anxiety is greatly re-
lieved. A higher temperature. has

Tropical Fruit from Florida.

The editor of The Chieftain and
wife received one Christmas box
ahead of time this week and q rare
box it was, too. 1t was from Mrs.
Pages father who resides at Miami,
Fla, and contained fine selection
of grape fruit, oranges, tanger1nes
and kumquats direct from the
trees. This box also contained
great variety of leaves, moss, etc,
from the tropical trees, and one
large cocOanut in it's original
shuck. NinetNnine out OF 100
people who never saw cocOanut
except as in the northern markets
would never guess that this speci-
men, with it's husk on, was a CO.
cOanut.

CHRISTMAS TRADE HAS
BEEN GOOD IN HOLLY
Most Merchants Report Consider.
able Increase Over Last Sea-
sons Trade to Date.

Nearly every Holly business
house carrying anything in the hol-
iday goods line, and even those
whose lines are not particularly
given to gift goods are reporting a
good business. Some of the mer-
chants say their business is cOnsid-
erably more this season than up to
this time last year
The principal difficulty has been
experienced by dealers in securing
goods. 1t has, in fact, been real
task to secure holiday stocks of
either quality or amount, while
the general demand here has been
for the best articles regardless of
price.
From present Indications most
local dealers will have been pretty
well sold out of holiday goods by
New Years day.

Infection from Felon.

Mrs. o. f. Vincent was hurried
to the hospital at La Junta Wed
nesday, suffering from blood poison
which was affecting the middle fing-
er of the left hand, which seems to
have started with fel0n. No word
has been received from her since
she and Mr.. Vincent went to La
Junta as to her progress. When
she left grave fear was entertained
that amputation of the finger if
not of the arm might be necessary.
