Z The new elevator foundation Is al
most completed and will be pushed TO
. finish just as rapidly as possible.
This will be greatly appreciated by oil
our farmers, and be quite an addition
to our city.
The Field and Farm came out An a
fine new summer dress last week.
This as well as everything else indi-
Gates an increase in the value Of stock
in Colorado's agricultural resources
and prospects.
Mr.. Bryant, Of Bryant, Colo, was a
welcome visitor ut this Office yesterday.
Ho reports five times the acreage of
crops in his locality to what there was
last season, and every prospect Of a
bounteous crop.
D. Brizendine, who lives seven miles
northeast Of our city, remained away
from his farm long enough to load up
a fine wind mill and pump at r. Ray
mond's this week. Dave says water is
good enough for him when he gets his
mill Yp;;
T. d. Upton has on exhibition at
the hardware store Of Z. Raymond
Champion mower that Inns been quite
a wonder. The machine was built for
exhibition at the Centennial and since
then has crossed the Atlantic and been
on exhibition at several European cit
les. The seat and many Of the mount
ings are heavily gold plated, all the
other mountings being silver. Itisthe
most handsomely finished machine in
the country. Go and look at it.
We acknowledge very pleasant call
from L. L. Sherman, of 7-4s, father of
onr G. c., and A. F. Sherman, his
brother, on last Tuesday. Mr.. l.. Il.
Sherman was showing his brother the
wonders of our agricultural resources
and the progress of Holyoke. Mr.. A.
is an extensive traveller, his home be-
ing in Ludlow, Vermont, and in all his
experience and travels he does not
think he has seen the equal of Phillips
county nor two-year-old of Holyoke's
size and attractions for investment.
Our correspondent Virgo mailed the
usual newsy budget of items for the
HERALD in the mail box located in the
postOflice, which had, until recently,
been used jointly by the HERALD and
News. These items were captured by
tine antique gentleman who presides
over the destinies of the News and
published. lie says it was an over
sight. We request Virgo, rs well as
our other correspondents, to bring the
items to the HERALD Office In the fu-
ture, that no such oyersights may oc-
cur in the future.
There are two samples of Phillips
county wheat now on exhibition at
Boden 4 weaver's real estate Office
equal to anything the writer ever saw.
If there are amy people in Phillips
county who are skeptical, let them not
fail to see these splendid specimens oi
Colorado's productiveness. One of the
bundles is from the crop grown upon
the farm Of Mr.. Yinest, and he has
twenty-five acres of the same kind.
The other is from the farm of \. W.
Young, near town. lie says IL took
two pounds Of twine per acre TO bind
1t.
Mr.. NJ. Troutman, father of our Os-
car, was II pleasant caller last week.
Mr.. Troutinan lives In York county,
Neb., and Is now spending q few weeks
visiting his son and wondering at the
wonderful development Of our town
and country, and there Is 10 question
at all in the mind Of Mr.. Y, that this is
destined to be one of the finest coun-
ties in the country and IIolyoke u city
of more than ordinary proportions, and
this opinion is based upon an expert
ence reaching back over the history Of
York county, when the same wall came
up from their county, and the pros
poets were indeed anything but prom
Using. But he and his sons passed
through 1t all and now are numbered
among the most successful of York's
prosperous farmers, and the same
thing will happen right here In Phil
lips county, the falrest aud the most
favored county In Colorado.
The consent Of the company has
been obtained to decorate the waiting
rooms OF the depot building with spec
linens of Phillips county products, and
all farmers are requested 20 bring In
samples Of their wheat, oats, rye, corn,
grasses and vegetables, and In fact cy-
cry thing raised by them In our pro-
ductiyc county. This will be one Of
the most effective advertisements that
can be given TO our county. The pas
scngcr trains all stop here half an hour
and abundant time IL given all travel
ers 10 fully examine the exhibit, and
there is nothing 10 convincing ns see.
ing. Farmers, here is an excellent op-
portunity 10 materially aid onr county
aud mutually benefit tie advertiser
and those who may come In. DO not
fail to take advantage Of this oppOrtu-
nifty. All samples brought either 10
the Office ol lieggE II Bsbee or TO the
HERALD office will be arranged In the
depot In the most attractive manner,
