Down Pour Of 2. 80 in Few Hours
Rivals EpcipitatiOns of Real
kain Belts


This section was visited Monday
by the heaviest rainfall of the season
when 2.55 inches fell within about
two and half hours. The shower
did not extend outside of the imme-
diate vicinity of Holly. more than a
few miles In any direction however,
though the Santa Fe tracks east OF
here were under water for snort
distance.
No damage is reported from the
storm. The park at the Santa Fe de-
pot here resembled small lake.
AL. Hoyt's residence property was
also under water and for few hours
water completely surrounded his
house. Water also ran into some of
the down town offices, but not of an
extent to do any serious damage.
A much less rain fall is reported
over larger area and the soil is in
the best possible condition through
cut the entire lower Arkansas valley

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
ORGANIZED 20 YEARS AGO
The Rev. Wiley X. Wright Has Been
Pastor for the Past Twelve
Years,

Thursday Of last week, September
2, was the twentieth anniversary of
the organization of the Presbyterian
church of Holly. At the services last
Sunday morning the pastor, the Rev.
Wiley X. Wright, briefly reviewed the
history of the church, September g,
1900, the church was organized with
thirteen charter members; only one
OF whom is now resident of Holly.
Mr.. Wright has been pastor for
more than twelve years. When he
came there were on the church roll
46 members, only three of whom are
now in Holly; and PIG members have
been received into the church during
Mr.. Wrights pastorate.
During the 20 years total of 291

Seven of these have died and 206
ahave moved away. This shows some

The present church building was
erected in 1913, and at the same time
the mause was largely improved. The
value of the church property is
about $4,000 and there is no debt.

Arthur X. johnson was seized
Sunday morning with an attack re-
sembling the bowel trouble which has
been epidemic here the past few
weeks, but which later developed as
severe case of appendicitis. Mr..
Johnson's condition continued to
grow worse until Tuesday when it
was decided to take him to the hos

noon. 1t was thought quite probable
that an operation would be neces-

picniced in Armory.

The Presbyterians are certainly
courageous and not to be baffled by
rain. They had planned for a Sun
day school picnic in the open for last
Monday, but when 10 o'clock, the
time set for the start arrived. the
heaviest rain storm of the season was
on. The resourcefulness OF the
members is seen In the fact that they
quickly arranged to hold the picnic
in the Armory building where those
in attendance had very pleasant
time.

DOUBLE GOLDEN WEDDING
EXCEPTIONAL SOCIAL EVENT
Two Aunts of @. A. Jewett Celebrate
Half Century Wedding Anniver-
sary Together In Kansas.


While golden wedding is of rather
rare occurrence the celebration of the
fiftieth wedding anniversary of two
members of the same family anAsat
the same time and place is little short
of phenomenal. Such an event was
fittingly observed at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Calkins, the latter he.
ing a daughter OF the two celebrants,
near Coolidge, Kan. Wednesday OF
last week.
The two ladies and one gentleman
who figured in this exceptional So
cial event were Dr. and Mrs. j. II.
Vandolar, of Lincoln, Neb., and Mis-.
Nellie Kent of Peoria, Ill The hus-
band of the latter had passed on.
The ladies and gentlemen were
aunts and an uncle of Mr.. c. A. Jew
EFT. of Holly, who with his family
were in attendance at the celebration
at the Calkins home.
The thought Of the anniversary has
since been marred by. the sudden
death of Mrs. Calkins at whose home
1t was held, she having passed away
last Sunday, following an accident
which 1t was thought at the time of
the celebration, she had fully recov.
cred from.
