Let us Improve our Cemetery.
EDITOR ENrERPRIsE:

EDITOR ENTERPRISE:
At an expense of about $500 good
system Of water works can be built. The
water supply can come from the Catlin
canal and be conveyed to the cemetery
in 2-inch galvanized pipe, thence distrib-
uted through the grounds by smaller
pipe. There is plenty of fall to give a
good pressure and this system would give
an opportunity for all to set flowers and
evergreens around their lots and max g
the resting place OF their friends look
like they were not forgotten.
enough lots to make the improvements,
but in case they cannot, am willing to
be one of n number to donate enough to
complete the plant. I hope the board
and our people will consider the matter
favorably.

No one thing would add more to the
business of Rocky Ford than first-class
creamery. Where the dairy business is
steadily followed there will be found a
uniformly prosperous community. And
the ENTERPRISE is not going to let you
forget it.

THE woman who seeks to intimidate
her husband into voting her way is liable
to a heavy fine. And, be it also remem-
bered, that the husband is subject to the
same fine for unduly influencing the
wife's vote. The law is framed with the
intent to secure to every elector absolute
freedom to cast Just such ballot as the
judgment and conscience dictate.

DIR. Kearby and the editor had lit
tie controversy the other day. The DR..
said that the issue of the paper following
the teachers meeting, three weeks
since, contained no account of the splen-
did supper given by the Rocky Ford
school board to the visiting teachers.
We insisted that DR.. X was in error, but
an examination of the files showed that
he was correct. This oversight is well
elegant one and indicated the public
spirit which is so characteristic of Rocky
Ford, and which has given it more than
state reputation. Our town being the
geographical center Of the county is the
natural place for holding conventions
and all kinds OF public gatherings, and
its citizens have always shown a most
commendable enterprise in welcoming
and entertaining visitors. Here is the
explanation OF the omission of mention
OF this banquet in the ENTERPRISE: a
glowing account of the same was sent to
a Denver daily and the impression was
on the editorial mind that a similar notice
had been prepared for these columns.
'Tis good sign to see our school board
proud of the superior schools they have
provided and solictous that all matters
incident thereto shall have proper pub
lie mention.
An interview with Hon. J. H. Crow
ley on Monday in regard to the effect Of
the recent cold snap on the fruit elected
gratifying information. The only fruits
which were in any danger were the april
cots and peaches. The buds of these
were swelled considerably before the cold
spell, but from Mr.. Crowley's CAREFUL
examination he thinks that there will be
abundant bloom on both. Hence, the
present outlook favors a generous harvest
of all kinds OF fruit.
