Otero county made most excellent
showing at the late fair in Denver. A
wide range Of products were on exhibit
ton, all Of a high grade of excellence.
The space allotted to Otero county was
not nearly large enough and another
year our exhibitors propose to have q
whole tent Of their own. The Denver
Republican's picture of the Otero coun-
ty display made it show up better than
any other exhibit which it illustrated.
The Republican says:
"The interests of Otero county were
looked after by w. Z. Alexander. There
were Ben Davis, Missouri Pippin, Wine
sap and other apples, Niagara, Concord
and Lady Washington grapes, and
peaches, prunes, honey, melons, sweet
potatoes, peanuts, corn, cantaloupes, cit
rons and alfalfa Of the finest sort. Among
the exhibitors were r. o. McClain, j. II.
Crowley & Son, j. B. Graham, Elmer &
McCaskill, N. q. Gibson and o. B.
Stauffer. A hundred melons were there,
OF which 16 weighed 1000"
Otero county was awarded the premi-
um for the best general display.

OBITUARY.

J. j. ELsER was born in Crawford
county, Ohio, Aug. 8, 1848, and died in
Rocky Ford, Colo, Sept %, 1896.
He was educated ut Carthage college,
Carthage, Ill, a school OF the English
Lutheran denomination, to'which his pa
rents belonged. His educational quail
fications were OF high order and he en-.
ployed them first in teaching in Ohio,
Illinois and Iowa, and finally in mercan-
tile pursuits. He was, until he failed
very successful in his life's work.
Soon after removing to Harlan, Iowa,
he united with the NJ. E. Church. Was
Annie Burke, who, with the five children
born to them, survives to mourn the de-
parture Of loving husband and ia
ther. The last ten years OF his life he
was an invalid, and much Of that time a
great sufferer. His sutferings were born
with christian fortitude and his trust in
the Savior OF the world was unfaltering.
He came to Rocky Ford nearly eight
years ago, and rs postmaster during four
years Of that time became known to n
great many Of our people, and enjoyed
the universal respect and confidence of
all.
Among his last utterances were words
addressed to his eldest son, Leroy, COM
mending to him the care of his mother
and the younger children, and the
prayer, "Lord Jesus, let thy servant de-
part in peace"
His funeral services held in the M. E..
church Sept. 30, and conducted by Rev.
H. M. Mayo, who spoke from II Corrin-
thians, 5:S, were attended by a large con-
course OF sympathizing friends.
The Rocky Ford schools were closed
the afternoon of the funeral as a mark Of
respect to tho family, Mrs. Elser being
one OF the teachers. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful and the casket
enclosing the dear, worn out body was
both lined and covered with flowers.
