Barring hail, the farmers will harvest
the biggest crop ever grown in Larimer
county.-Fort Collins Express.
Same here.
Hon. j. @. Bell has our thanks for
a copy of his speech in the House OF
Representatives on the question OF the
taxation of state banks.
Since our last issue the Rocky Ford
park has received the needed attention
and now looks 100 per cent better by
reason of the cutting OF the many weeds.
lemonade, say the doctors, is best
when it is made of boiling water. covered
up closely and allowed to cool. In this
way it is more full of flavor and good
ness, and one lemon will go as far as two
used ordinarily.
PROT. W. NJ, Kollock has boen en-
gagged as Principal OF the La Junta
schools for the coming year-a selection
that we believe meets with the almost
unanimous approval Of the citizens Of the
district. Prof. Kollock is thorough ed
ucator, and earnest is his work-Water-
melon.
Postmaster Salyer has received ord
ers from the post office department that
on and after July LIST no postal notes are
to be issued, and supply to be returned.
To take their place money orders will be
issued for three cents for all sums under
$3.50. The rate on money orders OF
larger denominations is also to be slight
ly reduced.
Work on the Holbrook headgate was
finished a day or two ago. Each side of
tho head-gate has been filed in with
gravel and cement to a height exceeding
the highest water mark by three feet.
The entire damage to the Holbrook
amounts to about $1,000. The farmers
under the line are doing the repair work.
Tribune.
Terry & Co., now have kiln OF
100, 900 brick about ready for burning,
but the fuel question puzzles them.
Owing to the strike coal seems imposs-
ible to obtain, and they are seriously
thinking of going to the cedars, 30 miles
distant, for the necessary fuel. There
is difference of opinion us to the value
of cedar for burning brick, but on trial it
may prove as good and as economical as
coal
An important business change will
take place in Rocky Ford July Is. Geo.
B. Cheney and Albert Conner have con-
tracted to purchase Geo. Hsmmond's g
business and will conduct the same at
the present location under the firm name
Of Cheney & Conner. These gentlemen
are both we'll known to our citizens and
will doubtless conduct a successful bus
mess. Mr.. Hammond will be absent
from Rocky Ford for time but will
probably return soon and go into the
grain and seed business.
The events of this season make it
very evident that the farmer is the hap
piest man, or ought to be, in the country.
He is sure Of regular employment, and is
sure OF good living. A man, who is
over head and ears in debt, is man who
is bound to be in trouble; and it makes
no difference whether he is a farmer, or
is engaged in some other occupation, but
farmer who owes no man anything can
sleep in peace after his days work, and,
sure of a living, he can possess his
soul in patience till the hard times are
over.
The Crews-Beggs Dry Goods Co.,
Pueblo, are just now fairly settled IN
their new, commodious and elegant
quarters, corner Second and Main. The
various departments each have distinct
floor space in the well arranged building,
and each is practically separate store,
as strict accounts are kept with each
branch. The employees participate in the
profits of the business, which is COM
mendable example for other business
houses to follow. Rocky Ford people
should buy everything they possibly can
at home, but when the resources OF the
Rocky Ford merchants do not supply
your wants you will find the Crews
Bepgs Co., pleasant people to deal with
