Fruit culture is paying in Texas
wherever proper attention is given
to it. This city and section is not
keeping up with the procession in
this respect, but the time is COM
ing in which the small fruit grower
will be monarch OF all he surveys
in this section. There is no more
reason in our buying our fruits Of
California than there is OF our buy
ing our corn from Kansas and Ne
braska.

That flower battle tomorrow will
be fought out with paper ammu-
milton, just like the political con-
tests of this great nation. Texas is
too sudden in the spring for these
cold blooded northerners. The sea-
son Of roses is past and all their
fragrance invoked in vain to fill
the oifactories OF our guests, but
the fragrance Of hospitsble hearts
will be waited them on every
breeze that blows from shoreless
oceans over this gulf coast section
Come earlier and see our roses
next time.

That Republican convention in
Ohio shows that the hard money
men and the hard headed members
Of the "grand old party" see eye to
eye for the interest of the country.
Ohio will fall into line for the
nomination OF Mckinley on a
sound money platform, and then
for the election OF the nominee Of
the convention, whether his name
be William Mckinley or some-
thing else. Ohio will be there.

Later reports from Missouri in
dictate that the free silver craze is
running itself out in that state and
that when the issues are joined a
year hence there will be no delega-
tion from that old state to aid the
white metalists in carrying out
their 16 to l policy. What is true
Of Missouri will also prove true Of
those other states in the northwest
OF which so much has been pre-
dicted.

The leaders of the Cuban revolu-
ton are not so honest in expression
as the leader OF the "home rule"
party in Spain but there is no
doubt that they are Of the same
mind as to the futility OF the
present attempt to revolutionize
Cuba. 1t will be remembered that
three months since the LIGHT said
that the island was not ripe for
revolution and that the revolt was
not sustained by the best citizens
and the substantial planters Of
Cuba. This opinion is at last
forced from the head Of the Cuban
party, who declares that the island
OF Cuba is not ripe for separation
from the mother country. There
are no end Of American filibusters
who do not think that Montoro
knows what he is talking about,
but he will be found in the end to
have good grip on the facts.

1t is reported everywhere that
the "blg four" meat men gave $780,
600 for the declaration by authori-
ty that there was combine among
the cattle growers to force the
price OF fat cattle to the top notch.
AS to the truth OF that report of
the cause of the Interior Depart
met circular, it is impossible to
say, but it is certain that it saved
the "big four" a constant loss and
took cent a pound off the price OF
every fat steer in Texas. Put these
two facts together and form your
own opinion. 1t is hard lines when
the government turns its power in

Relief for the Drouth Sufferers.

The action taken by the citizens meet
ing last week in organizing for raising
aid for the sufferers Of eastern Colorado
bore benificent fruit quite rapidly. The
committee had but to ask and the people
responded literally. The result was that
almost a car load Of provisions and cloth
morning. Tho car contained $4,000
pounds, which included 5000 pounds of
-four, $500 pounds Of beans, 1, 900 pounds
of onions and 1000 pounds Of canned
goods. In addition to which was an as
sortment Of food supplies and 20 bundles
and boxes Of clothing. The car was &C.
oompanied by o. 8. Ringer who will su
perintend its distribution. The prompt
ness with which the people Of the Rocky
Ford country responded to the call for
aid is but indicative Of their general
push, enterprise and public spirit. The
thanks of the people Of Rocky Ford and
Of Wrsy are due the Santa Fe railway
for the free transportation of the goods
and the accompanying committeeman.

OBITUARY..

Edna B., daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. 8.
M. Sherman, was born in Benton county,
Iowa, Feb. %, 1873; died in Rocky Ford.
Colo, Feb. IL, 1895. The funeral servi-
COS were held in the M. e. church Feb,
ii, and were conducted by Revs. +. NJ,
Sapp and ID. w. Burt.
Her sufferings extended over q period
Of about three years, that dread disease,
consumption, having fastened upon her
and steadily and surely sapped the foun-
dstions of life until death ensued. She
was young to die but she had yet, in the
life she lived and the example she set for
her fellow man, fulfilled in large measure
the moral and spiritual destiny Of man.
Edna was one Of earth's choicest spir-
its-a dutiful, loving daughter; devoted
sister; q kind, earnest friend; lover of
and example Of all the cardinal virtues;
and firm believer in God and future
life. Although she loved life because Of
all she loved in life, yet she feared not
death and met it calmly and in the blest
hope Of the resurrection. Through her
long, wasting sickness that was filed
with 30 many days of waiting face to face
with death, 30 many nights Of awful pain,
she was always patient, forbearing, gen.
tie, kind and hopeful. None knew her
but to love her, and all unite in COM
sense Of bereavement at her loss and Of
sympathy to the sorrowing family who
mourn her departure.
Farewell, Edna! In this life we shall
see thee no more. In tho life to come We
hope through the merits Of the Lord
Jesus Chrift to meet thee where there ia
no more parting.
"Thcre is no death; the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forever MORE"
A large attendance at the church and
the grave testified to the general esteem
in which the deceased was held. The
remains and the coffin were covered with
beautiful flowers. ~.

there has been about 400 conversions and
additions to the NJ. E. church in Pueblo

CREAMERY ANNEX.
Work of Construction now in
Progress Operation of the
works to begin in 20 days.

1t is with great pleasure that
we announce that the efforts to
secure to Rocky Ford the benefits
of a creamery have been successful.
Mr.. Babcock arrived Tuesday
evening and yesterday morning
commenced on the construction of
the works. The building will be
erected directly south of the Can
ming Factory, and will contain all
appliances for separating the
cream. A De La Val steam tur-
bine separator, the latest and best,
will be used. It has capacity of
$500 pounds of milk per hour.
Within twenty days the cream
cry will be in the market for 10, 900
pounds of milk per day and we
urge the farmers in the vicinity of
Rocky Ford to prepare to furnish
as much as possible.
The works here will be operated
under the firm name of Babcock
& Schwub and will be in charge
of one Of our fellow citizens, P. A.
Thompson of Grand valley. Mr..
Thomson is now at Hoehne where
he will study the business until
the works here are ready for op-
Grafton.
This is an enterprise of more
Importance to Rocky Ford and vi
cinity than MANY peOple NAV sup-
pose. In fact, in its immediate re-
suits it is better than to have a
new full-grown creamery started,
as the Sunfiower valley butter is
in great demand, whereas new
creamery would have to run for
quite a while to build up a repu-
tation and secure a steady and re-
liable market.
We congratulate the farmers on
the establishment of SO valuable
an auxiliary to their business.

heartfelt thanks, and may the Infinite
