GRAND JUNCTION. Colo. March oth. 1883.
To the Editor Of THE CHlEy:
Having been requested to express my opinion
Of the Delta Sulphur springs. It DIS me great
pleasure to say, that believe y sWaten Of these
springs are very valuable as4 remedial agent.
Mhe sample Of the wsssf yadch secured through
the politeness Of Col. Hbdey, has been very hirly
tested. and although am unable. asyet. 70 make
anything like full report upon It's medicinal
qualities, can ray that these waters are decid-
edly xomachic, tonic, and dinretie. and will un-
doubtedly prove beneficial in diseases Of the
aomaeh. tiro, and Kidneys I look upon the Delta
Sulphur springs a. being equal to anything Of the
kind in America, and It il my intention 70 give
these waten . thorough test.
Youn respectfully.

SMALLPOX is raging in the mining towns

other towns have number of cases, but It is
believed the plague is under full control. 1t
is possible, but not probable, that the disease
will reach some Of the valley towns. vacci-
nation is the only remedy known to science
to prevent smallpox. 1t would be well for
our citizens to be on their guard against this
disease, and if it should appear among us to
be able to take care of it.

In starting new newspaper enterprise it is
customary to outline its policy and intention.
In conducting THE CHEF it will be our en-

for the best interests of the county, repre-
senting NO clique nor party. In politics the

Mr.. Guerry

Received some very tempting offers
from Baltimore, and for time he was
in doubt as to the propriety of going
at once to that City; but we are pleas
ed to learn that he has decided i'll IA
vor of Newberry. That his merit is
recognized and fully appreciated here,
appears from the fact that he has re-
ceived seventeen orders since his por-
traits We're placed Oh exhibition in
Newberry. These seventeen orders
comprise portraits of Mr.. Mclaughlin
and wife. one of Mr.. G. S. Mower, one
of Col. Renwick, one of Mrs. j. n. Mar
tin, one of DR.. Geo. Keitt, decd, one
ordered by Mr.. J. L. keitt, and ten for
Col. E. S. Kcitt, including protraits OF
J. S. Preston, w. G. Preston, Wade
Hampton, and Bishop Lynch. The
people of our town are not slow to re-
>cognize distinguished merit, and new
attractions will attach to Mr.. Guerry's
studio.
In addition to the above, we add 4
suggestion to our sister County OF
Abbeville, the birth place of the great
and gifted Calhoun. This is that no
more fitting tribute to the dead states
man could possibly be rendered, than
to have this distinguished artist paint
his portrait be hung in some
CONSPICUOUS hall to the admiring gaze
of the public. We kindly offer this
thought to the consideration of the
Abbeville press.

The Moonlight Picnic.

The members of the Lotus Club ap-

ures, and understand the art Of pleas
ing, as well; studying for the pleas
urc of others, they enjoy pleasures of
the highest order. The Moonlight
Picnic had none OF the distinctive fea-
lures of picnic. but it must be adj
mitted that it did not suffer by being
peculiar to itseli-a picnic Of its own
kind. The lawn was beautifully illu-
minated with Chinese lanterns, and re-
freshments consisting of cake and ice
cream, were served out of doors. With
in, however, were gladness and gaye-
ty-and the soul drank in sweet de-
lights. The Lott were as attentive is
Gallantry's own self, the ladies radiant
and charming; aud eyes as ''soft as
the down that swells the cygnet's
nest" looked love to eyes that spoke
again" Time sped fleet winged, un-
needed on, and when, at two O'Clock,
the HERALD reporter turned with re-
luctant steps from the Picnic, the air
was ID; pulsing and throbbing with
the rhythmic beat of the dance. Sem

THE HERALD ANNEX.

Grand Recepti0n--Feast OF Reason
and Flow Of Soul--Every one En-
thused.
On Friday morning last the proprie-
tor of the HERALD issued gilt edSed
cards of invitation to his friends, to
meet at the office at $50, sharp. This
was done in honor of the completion
OF the annex to the building in which
the HERALD, and its fine class OF Job
work is printed, and the response was
gratifyingly large. The office, in TACT,
was filled, seats being arranged down
the main aisle, between the compost
tors stands. around the imposing
stones, and in every nook and corner
where a chair. stool, or box, could be
insinuatcd. The large imposing stone
served appropriately as the table upon
which were spread the refreshments.
All being comfortably and quietly
seated, the beautiful gobletS-kindly
loaned for the occasion, by Mr., W.T..
Tarrant-were filled and passed to each
guest. The object of the meeting be-
ing asked by the chairman. Mr.. i. 5.
Norman. the proprietor arose. and i'll
trcmulous tones, stated that he was IN
a financial strait. superindnced by the
great expense of building the annex,
and that he had adopted the idea OF
calling the wealthy and influential cit
liens together, and appealing to their
sympathy for aid. The explanation
had dampening effect for moment.
involuntarily however, large number
of hands sought pockets. while 4 few
seemed ready to render assistance to
the embarrassed proprietor, with his
elephantine annex. 1t took another
moment only to show that the proprie-
tor had perpetrated q dry joke, and as
the company were pretty dry by this
time, they slipped from their glasses,
and then commenced delightful sea-
son OF generous sentiment, feast OF
reason and a flow OF soul, the proprie-
tor and his pet, the HERALD, receiving
many compliments and earnest wishes
for its prosperity and continued success
Short and witty speeches were made
by Messrs. II. S. Norman, Silas john
stone. w. II. Hunt, Revs. Smart and
Holland, and j. o. Peoples, L. SIM

faithful colored attache, Hart Cald-
well, who for ten years has turned the
wheel which grinds out the news, put
a spoke in the convivial wheel. Sum
dry responses were made by the graft
fed proprietor. If the HERALD reali-
zes one hundreth part of the kind wish
es expressed on this occasion, it will
spread into the proportions Of the
Green Bay Tree. The whole affair was
replete with happiness, every one enjoy
ing it, the only regret being felt by the
proprietor that in the hurried manner
in which the cards were issued some
good friends were overlooked. Similar
entertainments will annually be given,
when no friend will be overlooked.

An Embargo.

Some time ago contract was made
between the County Commissioners
and Mr.. J. F. Oxner, by which he was
to receive stipulated sum, monthly,
for putting the travelling public OF

That's chapter one. Last week Mr..

failed to cross the river, OF their way
home from Newberry; for the very en-
cellent reason that the flat was locked.
Messrs. Oxner and Norman do not
stand in the same friendly relation into
which we have brought their names in

minding Mr.. 0. of the terms of his
