THE ART OF DINING.

Think OF me with envy Thackeray
said to an English friend In Paris who
had called 10 take him to a dinner
party at which both were expected.
Sir Joseph told NE that. SO far from
being ready. he found Thackeray had
sent an excuse based on n very slight
cold. and had settled himself to com
plete comfort. In loose morning
clothes, with his feet to the fire. he
was established in deep armchair,
with small table beside him; on II
shaded lamp. with n roasted pheasant,
ciaret and fruit. and by way of COM
pany new French novel. This made
the entertainment he had bid his friend
remember with envy" when he found
himself imprisoned for two hours next

one. II thought nothing was lacking
to my comfort. but to see you In even
ing rig and know I've escaped from
what's ahead of you makes me settle
down 20 complete enjoyment OF my
book and my bird. just say you called
for me. but found me covering over

Thackeray's well-known dislike 10
formal dinners is shared by many. who.
like himself, are fashion of the time
and liable TO be invited because they
are fashion. not for the real charm OF
the man. which can never come out
naturally in that sort Of company.
No way OF meeting In society is more
thoroughly agreeable and refreshing
than the small dinner where congenial
people meet. where the six or eight
chosen persons at table can talk freely
together and the different minds give
freshness to each topic. and where gay
nonsense has its underlying knowledge
and bias Of character. Such dining rs

and IL Is best found in the great centers
where the easy play of minds together

George T. Feast the candidate for
superintendent of schools, is a resi-
dent of Granada, we have no personal
acquaintance with him, but under
stand he is an educated gentleman,
in every way we'll qualified for the
position, and has strength at home
not confined to his party. While we
have not the pleasure of his acquain
lance, the fact that he was the unan-
imous choice of the convention is
evidence enough for us and the party
that he should receive the hearty
support of the party at the polls.
Charles E. Sexton now holds the
position of county surveyor, he was
elected two years ago, and when the
county was divided chose to go to
the new county rather than remain
with the old. HIS nomination for re-
election indicates that his services as
an officer have been satisfactory to
the public, and that they have every
confidence in his ability.

The Republican Ticket.


The ticket nominated by the re-
publican county convention last week,
has friends enough to be elected. The
strength too, is not confined to the
party alone but is increased by the
individual gentlemen who compose
the ticket.
Frank P. Allen for county clerk.
has made friends in Lamar and with
those who have had business with
him surrounding Lamar ever since
he has filled the position by appoint
ment. He is strong in the north has
friends to the south and by his work
in the past has right to expect, as
be will have the hearty support of
Granada and the east portion of the
county.
NJ. D. Parmenter for county treas
urer. has claim for recognition that
is not confined alone to the party
He came to Lamar with the advance
guard of the agricultural interest in
eastern Colorado, and from that time
to the present, he has worked for
eastern Colorado, backed his faith
by his time and money, and is still
talking and working for the republ,-
can party and eastern Colorado.
There was q time Mr.. Parmenter
could have left Prowers county with
enough capital 10 make HIM inde-
pendent, but unlike mum Der of 9TH
ers who made their money here and
left the country, he remained, and
invested his money to the advance
ment of the country. His ability to
fill the position the equal of any man
in the county is unquestioned. He
is life long republican. his acguain-
tance extends all over the county.
and he is acknowledged to be one of
the most popular men in the county.
J. K. Doughty for county judge.
was appointed to the position by
the governor when the county was
organized, for the sole reason of
his qualifications for the Office He
has shown his fitness for the position
since to the satisfaction of the bar
and those having business in his
court. He has been a resident of the
county for over three years. and is
thoroughly identified with the work
of building up eastern Colorado. He
is true blue republican and COM
mands the respect and will receive
the vote of his party.
Capt. Fl. A. Billow for sheriff, is
recognized as one of the workers
that never tires for his party or in
the line of his duty as an officer
He is one of those men who have
enemies, but none SO bitter but what
give him credit for the many good
qualifications he possesses as citizen
and an officer. To ofse: the enemies
he has friends that will support him
at all times and places, and they are
in numbers sufficient to see that he is
reelected to the position he was ap-
pointed to fill by the governor. He
has put in three years hard work for
eastern Colorado, and that work haa
not been confined to any one locality
but for the good of all, that his work
is appreciated will be shown by the
result election night.
Anderson Stewart for assessor, has
been resident of Prowers county
for over five years, he has been on
the j ranch near Granada for three
years, and farming and stock raising
tor himself near three yeara, he is
considered by men in the east part
Of the county as one of the strongest
