for his nap and quietly passed out
of the world. as he slept.
DIR. Callison has not been well for
some time. The past winter he had
several days of severe illness while
at the Trail Hotel. Finally he went
to hospital in Denver and remain
ed for several weeks. When he re-
turned to Holly he seemed like q
new man both in bodily health and
spirits. Latterly however he has
rot appeared so well and has been
dieting in the endeavor to reduce.
But he has kept busy at his pro-
fessiOn and was out On a ease the
night before his death.
DIR. Likes. the coroner, was called
from Lamar. No inquest was held
for it was plainly evident he had
Gied from sudden heart failure
The body was removed to MOrich
Undertaking rooms to await word
from relatives.
Dr. Callison came here last Fall
and bought out Dr. Colby, estab.
fishing office rooms over the First
National Bank.
DIR. CallisOn was man Of pleasant
easy manners, sociahle but unde-
mOnstrative. He was man of con-
siderable education and culture and
a fluent talker being well versed
In current topics as well as in an
cient lore. He was very compani-
able though reticent about his per-
sonal affairs. He was highly es-
teemed by all who knew him
DR. Callison had no wife, but there
is mother and brothers back in
Newton, Iowa, who were commune
rated with on the day of his death.
He had planne dtO bring his mother
to Holly and had been seeking a
home for her earlier In the year.
But on account OF her precarious
health her visit here had been defer
red for some time.
He leaves mother, living in New.
ton, Iowa, ard two brothers and
one sister. Word was received from
r. 7. Callison, Laurel, Iowa to ship
the body of his brother to him and
this was done. The sudden pass
ing of DR.. Callison has bereaved
many of good friend and the com.
munity of useful citizen.

ABLE PHYSICIAN AND
HONORED CITIZEN CALLED
DR.. C. @. Callison Found Dead in His
Office Last Friday Forenoon. Death
Caused by Heart Trouble.

Our community was greatly shock
ed last Friday morning when the
body of DR.. C. o. Callison was found
cold in death in his office over the
First National Bank.
He was last seen by Miss Mary
DeBus at about eight o'clock on
Friday morning. The doctor cams
to his office at the regular time
and as he passed the door OF Miss
Debus' Millinery shop to 60 into
his office, he stopped q moment as
he often did, to pass the time of
day. Miss DeBus had just reached
t heupper landing ahead OF him,
having come to her place OF bust
Iess in taxi. AS DR.. Callison pass.
ed her he called out in his usual
aheerful manner. saying, You're
getting high toned riding In d taxi.
Don't flutter around too much"
He left in moment more with the
remark, Well. I'm pretty tired:
had to work last night; going into
he office to take nap. He ap-
peared as usual with his customary
alert. cheerful manner. Nor has
my change been seen in him that
would lead anyone to think he was
,ver-worried nor despondent. After
he passed his office door he was
lver seen alive again nor was any
sound heard In his office.
At about 1920 a. m, two hours
and half later, DIR d. A. Mullings
Who has but recently established
his dental office in rooms adjacent
to DR.. Callison's Office, had occa-
ion to consult the physician and
vent into his office.
He discovered DR.. Calison lying

His hat was resting at the head
II the davenport and the doctor
ay with his arms folded ard his
;ead resting on the arm OF the
OUNCE. He was lying In an easy,
natural manner with a cigar and
toothpick still in his mouth. He
appeared as though he was asleep.

he tried to arouse him. Then he
'ounda that the body was already

struggle nor appearance OF suffer

get acquainted with the teachers
and give them bit OF praise, which
will encourage them.
Remember that every teacher has
about forty different temperaments
to deal with and has your children
half of their waking hours. If the
children do not get along well it
Is not always the teachers fault

get more for your money. Teachers
coming here are strangers to you

PROPOSED HOSPITAL
MEETS OPPOSITION
Taxpayers Object to the Added Burden
At Time When the Load is Already
More Than Some Can Garry.

A meeting held under the aus.
pices Of the Holly Commercial Club
Monday evening, developed the fact
that the proposed memorial hospi.
tai, which 1t is being proposed to
erect in Lamar, will meet with
strong opposition from the outlying
districts. The meeting Monday
night was largely attended, delegat.
es being here from Hartman, Bris,
tol and from the territory to the
south The plan so far as could be
sscertained and that outlined at
the meeting of the PrOwers County
Medical Association held here last
week, 1t Is proposed to ask the
voters to authorize the issuing Of
bonds to the amount of $l000000U
at the fall election. This sum will
be used to erect what will be term.

passed at the last session OF the
legislature authorizes the issuing of
bonds for the purpose of building
memorial to the heroes of the late
war 1t ia under the provisions OF
this law that this hosDital will be
built. 1t is understood the Lamar
nhvsicians and what Is termed the
big Four" of Lamar is sponsoring
this movement. No one denicr 'hn
fact that the county is in need of

and high taxation that has resulted
from war conditions, lpakes this

cultural county, the farmer hae.Laa
to bear the burden OF the e4un,,

At the same time taxes are steadily
mounting and 1t was the decision of
the meeting that now is the time
to start an organized effort against
Increasing the public debt.
In order to complete this organi

formation regarding the proposition

a proposition before it is submitted
to the voters
II. f. WOOD, Press Com.
The proposition to come up at
he general election to build a
county hospital for Prowers County
is especially inOpportune at the
present time. 1t is not a matter of
the place where 1t. is built. No one
,cseclally is opposing the aspirations
OF the county seat nor the ambi.
tons of It's boosters. Ii the hospi.
tai were to be built that town
would be the logical place for it
It ia not a matter of one locatioOn
nor another. But the whole propo.
s:tion is inadvisable. Everyone
knows how heavily the property
owners of the county are already
overtaxed, Much of this tax Is a
necessity. We must keep up our
roads, schools and county admins
tration, but all unnecessary things
shorlll await the Improvement in
the times. t~vl
We cannot see how county hos
pital would especially beneit us.
ty. 1t is suggested as memorial
20 the soldier and sailors of the
late war and an appeal is made to
the sentiments of the people of the
county But we are face TO face
with the hard facts OF the oppres
sive taxes, The hospital would not
minister to the war veterans: they
IRE properly taken care of now at
Fort Lyons. where there are 575
beds now vacant. and the Fitzsiln-
mons hospital of Denver Nor is
he hospital necessary to the sick
't the county since nearby hospitals
're entirely adequate. Nor, do we
understand that there would be
ny saving in money to the sick OF
he county who might become ia.
tlonts therein. We do not impuen
IL the least the motives of those
who are boosting for the new in
stitution but simply feel that it
is almost the unanimous sentiment
of the county, outside of Lamar.
who has a natural and personal in.
ferest in the enterprise, that with
ollr already excessive taxes and the
burdens the farmers are carrying
t is not the time to foster the new
movement on the people. The meet
ne of protest held at Holly last
Tuesday is sufficient evidence of
his sentiment. Another meeting is
allied at Granada, next Monday, at
p m. when there will be further
consideration of the whole ques.
