4 FINE FARM.

Mr.. f. s. Carlton, who resides four miles
this side of Derby, has farm to be proud
Of This year he has over one hundred
bushels of plums for market and his
twelve hundred apple trees are loaded
with fine fruit, much in excess of his best
previous crops, besides small fruit and
ornamental trees. His buildings are COM
modious and his home very desirable.
Two years ago he gathered over ten thous-
and bushels of apples, and the present
crop will reach fifteen thousand bushels.
He brought in some onions with stalks
three feet long and large in proportion.
One had three sets of buttons developed
upon one stalk. He has been in this
county twenty years and the above items
serve to show what industry receives as a
reward in this valley.

Over behind old Hog Back, just in sight
ofAntelope park, with its border of eternal
SHOWS. and in the midst of the cloud-tipped
seutinels of the san Juan range, where
with a roar and a splash the cold crystal
waters of Red mountain seethingly tumble
into the roaring Rio Grande, has been
built this spring a number of log lodges,
cook house and dining room, by a number
of gentlemen, incorporated under the
name Of "Sterry Camp" as a summer re-
sort. Nine thousand feet above sea level,
where the plaintive wbisperings Of the
shadowing pine miDgle with the unend-
ing murmer Of boulder besieged waters,
and where the flowers that fringe the
banks Of the streams and where the gay
colombine Of the steep messy slopes bloom
on uumindful alike Of the toUchof frost or
kiss of sun, from this delightfully."- secluded
outing spot can he seen the waters Of three
streams where flash and CLINT innumerable
''speckled beauties as they leap for the
unwary fly. Three or four Wichita gentle
men are stockholders in this Colorado
camp and this evening they with their
families take the Missouri Pacific for an

AGAIN the peculiar fatality fol-
lowing those attending the funerals
OF persons who have died of pneu-
monia is witnessed. General Joe
Johnston attended Sherman's fun
eral, caught cold and never recover.
ed. Rev. Howard Crosby attended
the funeral of his daughter, and
although in this instance the death
was not from pneumonia, he caught
a cold at the burial services which
speedily developed pneumonia in
him. Some facts are hard to &C
count for, but during number OF
years it has been noticed that per-
sons attending funerals in March
and April were peculiarly liable to
be attacked with cold, which de-
veloped pneumonia, that, too, Of a
type unusually fatal. This is espec
tally true where the dead person
himself had been taken off By dis
ease.

protect their interests or he will
not have the option of going at all.
They will decide for him, because
they are strong enough.
