On Tuesday afternoon, September 1st, 1925, Dr. O.P.M. Mills and the editor of the Worth County Tribune took a break from their occupations and took a trip to see Hopkins, “the almost dustless city on the One Hundred and Two.” The next day’s Worth County Tribune recounted the trip as follows:
We saw lots of big yellow corn, fine pastures, fine cattle and horses, and many beautiful farm homes along the way. We also saw wild grapes, plums, and red haw trees. We passed the C.A. Carroll, W.F. Dowis, Kit Horn, James Allison, and the Hi Caudle homes, all early settlers and home builders. All of these homes are now occupied by the present generation, except the Mr. Caudle farm west of Allison. From Dr. Mills’ farm, three miles northeast of Hopkins, we followed the state road which brought us into the cleanest and neatest town we have seen since the last big rain. Hopkins has oiled their streets, which practically eliminates dust.
