A WORD 1N PASSING.

In assuming the management of
The Chieftain, we do SO realizing
that there is task laid out for us
that will be hard to perform. I'm
der the management of Mr.. Page
The Chieftain has taken it's place
among the foremost Weeklies of the
state. Holly has had just cause to
be proud of its newspaper and if
hard work and close attention to
business will avail, we expect to
maintain as far as possible the stan
dard already established Like ev-
cry other business at this time, the
help problem is one that is serious
and while we expect to be able to
handle the business without any
outside help, it will mean that we
must have the cooperation of the
business men and patrons OF the
paper. Being an almost entire
stranger In the community, it will
OF necessity require some time to
become acquainted with the good
people Of Holly and at the same
time keep up the work of the Of
flee. In the meantime use the Chief
tain phone when you have friends
visiting you or know of any partic-
ular item of interest.
We expect to move the family here
the latter part of the week from
Lamar and thereafter will consider
ourselves one of the large family
that go to make Holly a desirable
little city in which to make a home
and rear a family.
We earnestly solicit the continu.
ance OF the past liberal patronage
which The Chieftain has enjoyed
and trust we may receive like favors
in the future.
