another small building going up at Hotch-

furnish a home when work is required
on this part of the circuit: Epworth and
Junior leagues about TO be formed. This
grand field of labor is located in probably
the largest first class fruit region in the
state. Many of the men and women en-
braced in the large membership are
among the leading titizens of that part
OF the county. Such is the rush of pop
ulation from abroad that churrh editces
and very large membership are the in

Drunk, That's All.

The horse and blackboard found in
Peach Valley last week belonged to
Stewart of the Delta House.
Jack Burns. who has been working for
Stewart, went to Montrose and got a lit.
tie too full of mineral water and raritied
air. He drove down to Peach Valley,
hitched his horse. lost his hat. and
walked all the way back to MontrOse.
After enjoying the further hospitality of
that burg he came down to Delta. but
had forgotten where he left his horse and
hat. Like others of Delta's celebrities
when away from home he forgot "whero
he was at" His first question when
reaching Montrose was: Where is jim
Greenwood's blacksmith shop:"
The horse and hat have found their
respective owners. and Peach Valley lost
a promised sensation.

Delta County Apples.

Nurseries and Orchards" paper
published at Louisiana. Mo-. arrayed an
immense fruit exhibit last week at which
apples were on display from Kansas,
Colorado and New Mexico.
The last issue Of the paper gives Delta
county the following fine notice:
THE largest display. barring Stark
Bros Colo. apples. was from Delta
county; varieties too numerous to men
ton, but We must not fail to say word
about few sorts. But who grew the
Colo. appless We glance at the labels.
Rome Bly,; 80 large some failed to recog.
nize them, finer never produced, are
marked Hon. Wesley Ault Of Delta
county, with note from MIR. Coffey,
reading: Have just sold Mr.. Ault 1000
more Rome Bly,, 1000 Elberta peach. ia
pan plum, etc. Mr.. Ault has 35-acre
orchard. the finest. cleanest, best orchard
in the county. Thinks this sample will
explain to you why he wants 1000 more
Rome Beauty trees" Right you are.
Mr.. Ault; increase you orchard to 10000
trees and you make no mistake
Hon. Samuel Wade, OF Delta county,
Colo. sends fine assortment Of Jonathan.
Winesap, Mo. Pippin. etc; also Bell,
flower, from tree planted only four
years ago. and yet Bellfower in the east
is very tardy in bearing. Mr.. Coffey
adds: "Tardy sorts no objection here, for
even these shy fruiters bear heavily the
second and third year, and as for the
heavy bearers, they need thinning"
Here We notice from Hon. David Stevens
OF Delta county, Colo, an assortment OF
all leading sorts, including Geneton. Mr..
Cotfey adds to the label: Mr. Stevens
will plant l.5O0 Of Stark Bros apple. 500
plum. 500 pear. cherry. etc" He asks:
What do you think Of such Ben Davis?"
We cannot do the apples justice, but
perhaps il ore Of our shorthand reporters
had been present and written the excla.
nations OF the many visitors, it would
have given the public some little idea OF
the exhibition. We hope for a good
photo which will be reproduced in these
columns later"

Faith Cure.

There are few people that have faith
in the faith cure as curing diseases OF
the body. but people have tried the faith
cure in this way. and it has worked like
charm: They go into Bailey's and get
prices and see the store crowded until
three and four clerks cannot wait on
them, and they say times amt so hard
after all. and dollar buys more goods
than ever before. and let us quit talking
hard times, and begin to say times are
good. and its an actual fact that people
have begun to think that times are good.
Bailey buys almost everything and keeps
things moving. and makes every one
feel at home that goes into his store,
and they buy their goods so cheap that
they declare times are good.
