Il. Il, Adair left at the office IN emer-
aid gem canteloupe in competition for
the first of the season, but it proved not
quite ripe. From the appearance of this
variety we should judge it to be among
the very best of the cantaloupe family.
DR.. G. W. Williams, of Catlin, left a
couple OF canteioupes with us the other
day, but we regret to say were not ripe.
The competition for our premium for the
first ripe canteloupe Of the season is spir-
tied and has naturally resulted in some
melons being picked a little previous.

together when any important under
is to be accomplished. A man with q
thousand dollars at his command and q
love of his town in his heart can do more
of it than the millionaire who
who locks up his capital and snaps his
fingers at home progress.-Enheld, Ill,

Three Pueblo men whose names we

across the river of Stevenson & Dye, to-
gether with the 100 acres of land under
ditch which belongs with it. Their lease

be delivered at the Office. To get even
with him the ENTERPRISE was under the
necessity OF also becoming strict con-
