GRAND RALLY OF THE P. OF II.

The grange held very pleasant and profitable social, on Tuesday evening last. A program of duets, dialogues, and recitations was happily rendered. The strawberries were large and fine, the ice cream delectable, and best of all about $35 was cleared. The festival, in it's various phases, is one thing that always pays in this town. One may cir culate subscription paper for the best and holiest of objects and unless gifted with tongue like perpetual motion, it will average about 9 cents per family. But get up festival of any sort and the very ones who figure on the subscription list for quarter will contribute $2 worth of provisions, and turn out with fami- ly like Noah's and enjoyably eat, and cheerfully pay for, at least $2 worth of ice cream, turkey, pancakes, hash or whatever the menu consists of, and de- part magnifying the good time they have had.

The much-looked-for cleaning up of

Miss Mary Hinehliff reached home, June 27 after year and a half absence in Colorado Springs, in greatly improved health. During the last year. she has been employed as teacher in one of the public schools of Colorado City and will probably resume the position. She says that Colorado is the place for inyalids, if they will only go soon enough. A great many make the mistake of waiting too long before going and so receive no ben eft. Her sister, Alice Hinchlif, train ed nurse, and graduate of New York hospital, remains at Colorado City, but will come East later in the season.

SCHOOL MATTERS.

 seats and set it's school house in good or der. Miss St John, we are sorry to say,
 does not intend to teach in this district
 or any other during the coming year.
 She has kept good school. There are after their school property. A district
 should take pride in it's schools and not look to the town for everything. We sometimes think district school tax is a healthy thing for the district and the people living in it.
 District No. ? held it's school meeting, Saturday evening, June 24. W. E. Page was reelected committee and treasurer and E. Ball, clerk. The district voted to I lay tax of $115 and to re-engage w. Peck for another year as teacher if he wishes to remain.

prizes for the best story, or picture, or

risking the loss Of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
