". s. PARTRIDGE WAS
ONE REAL SANTA CLAUS
Distributed Boxes Of Delicious
Candy to Many Of the Land
Company's Farm Homes.

In some localities there is a con-
tention that Santa Claus is q myth
that there is no such individual
But this contention has little or
no following around Holly.
1t is also conceded that Mr.. w. s.
Partridge. manager OF the Arkan.
sas Valley Sugar Beet & Irrigated
Land Co. is the real individual
about whom the little folks talk
just previous to Christmas with
SO much anticipation and happi-
ness.
This year Mr.. and Mrs. Partridge,
both OF whom intensely enjoy CIV
ing at Christmas time, drove out
in their car and distributed boxes
pf delicious candy and extended
holiday greetings to nearly all the
land company's farm homes in the
vicinity OF Holly, thus spreading q
great amount of good cheer
throughout the neighborhOod
which included the homes of all EN-.
ployees of the land company.
While the homes thus visited
were made more happy for the day
it was very apparent that Mr.. and
Mrs. Partridge were even more
happy for having been able to in.
dulge in this Yule Tide mission.
Though The Chieftain publisher
is not operating farm his home
was nevertheless the recipient Of
one of these Christmas packages
and a CHEEKY greeting from Mr.. and
Mrs. Partridge early Christmas
morning, for which we are indeed
grateful.
Yes, there is Santa Claus.

Boys and Girls Teams
Are Coming.
PRoMISES 70 BE FASTEST
BASKET GAME OF SEASON
Holly's Form Will Indicate Teams
Probable Standing in s. C..N.W.
N. N. Leagus-Rsilroad Fare and
: Entertainment to Cost Locals $50

The next basket ball game in
Holly will be a contest tomorrow
Friday night, at the High school
gym when both the boys and girls
teams from Deerfield, Kas., will
play the two local teams. This
promises to be the fastest game
thus far this season, and if you
are at all interested in basket ball
it will be well worth your while
to attend. The admission fee is
but 35c and rs cents.
, The girls game will begin at
7:45 and will be completed before
the starting of the boys game. The
form shown by Holly team on this
occasion. will quite likely indicate
the teams probable standing in
the Southern Observation-Disclosures
ern New Mexico League.
This game will cost the Holly
High School Athletic association
$50, and it is hoped, therefore, that
the people of Holly and vicinity
will turn out and fill the seating
capacity of the gym. The contest
will be a good one and will merit
public support.
Come out and help boost the
home teams, for these kansans are
good sports and are going to make
Holly basketeers go some" If they
win.

Chris tmas a Quiet Day.

Christmas passed of quietly in

but aside from the closing of the
banks and business houses there
were no public demonstrations or

The Holly Parent-Teachers asso-
citation at a regular meeting last
Monday night at the High school
auditorium presented perhaps the
best program since the Organiza-
ton of the association. The. pro-
gram had been arranged by the
mothers of the Eighth grade pupils.
Mrs. G. w. Shelter presented an
excellent paper on THE Function

tion," and Mrs. A. P. Knuckey led
the general discussion of the sub

DR.. H. +. Colby delivered a splen-

general discussion of the subject

the rendition of musical numbers,

The matter of securing q COM
munity nurse is apparently one of
great importance. The need can
not be gainsaid and if the associa-
ton can secure some competent
person it will have performed a
valuable community service.
The next program will be arrang-
ed for by the mothers of pupils Of

Woodland SINGERS Next

able for Solo and Quartette Work

The next entertainment of the
High School Lecture course will be
presented at the High school audi
torium next Monday night. Jan.
5th. by The Woodland Singers, a
highly recommended male quar-
tette who come directly from an
engagement at Chicago to Holly.
The Redpath lecture bureau in
presenting the Woodland singers
says:
This male quartette is the answer
to u well defined and insistent
want, and in presenting this com
pany we have met the demand in
several cardinal particulars. First,
as singing quartette; this is q
straight singing quartette without
any instrumental attachment
other than the piano which is
used for accompaniment in solo
work. The company is made up of
the best voices obtainable for solo
and quartette work, each member
has had abundant experience in
public recital and long ago proven
his ability. Second, rs harmonic
ed quartette; it is possible on an
hours notice in any large city to
select four good voices. The har-
mOnizing of the voices, however, is
radically different matter and
voices individually good may fail
to register in ensemble work.
The general admission to this
entertainment will be so cents, and
it will be program well worth
the money. .sss @,sr3svT4 I

Old Home of Gen. Rooney" Lee.

Just south of White House station.
where the railway crosses the Pa
munkey, is beautiful farm that was
the old home of Gen. w. H. f. Lee.
A mile northwest of the station is an
estate that is of peculiar historic in
terest, for here one day a young sur
veyor who was on his way to Will
liamsburg and to fame in American
history rested d while, dned. and met
a young widow who was endowed with
beauty, wit, and wealth. and who.
through that meeting, was destined to
become the first lady of the land. '
The romance of George Washington
and Martha Custis began there, and
ne finally led her up the hill to old St.
Peters Church, about 3 miles to the
south, which overlooks the Pamunkev
Valley, church that was old when
he was born. This old brick church
stands today in perfect preservation
in the quiet shade of great sheltering
oaks.
Through this area, too, CORVALLIS
retreated to take his last futile stand
at Yorktown, with Lafayette close on
his heels. The southwest corner of the
quadrangle touches the battlefield of
Seven Pines, where embattled hosts
in blue and in gray fought for the
possession of Richmond.
In the eastern part of the area is
the Pamunkey Indian Reservation,
where a score of Indian families gain
a precarious living by tillng a scant
square mile of land. This little group
of Indians is all that is left of that
powerful confederation of thirty
tribes which, under Powhatan and his |,
brother 0pecanchanough made life
exciting and perilous for settlers in
tidewater Virginia some 300 years
ago.
