"A gentleman was greatly. surprised
and pleased the other day at the reply a
lady gave to the question: "Do You
plant Vick's seods?' Her answer was:
'I always plant yick's seeds in the front
yard, but we get cheap seeds in the back
yard, which 1 know is n mistake" 1t
pays to plant good seeds, and we advise
our friends who are thinking OF doing
anything in this limo to send 10 cents for
vick's Floral Guide for 1895. This
amount may be deducted from the first
order. james yick's Sons, Rochester,
n. T., arc the pioneers in this line.
H. F. Hagen has abandoned the idea
of building dwelling houses for rent on

ties of these goods have bcon brought q
Rocky Ford by Mr.. Hagen and sold all
o7er southern Colorado, and we ar
pleased to know that he is making suci
substantial preparations for prosecuting
this business.
-Chus. Fruder OF the vicinity OF Man
zanola was trading in Rocky Ford satur
day evening. Just before he was ready
to start home the horses decided to lcav,
without him. After almost upsetting th'
wagon as turning corner they took {
bee-line for home. Various parties CON
ing TO Rocky Ford were met nt diver:
places this side OF Manznnola, they, in
variably taking to the gutter aud giving
the runaway the right of way. The
team arrived home in good shape, Mr.
Pruder getting there about tho same
time on a borrowed horse, and then
drove back to Rocky Ford for his goods
The library lecture course is greatly
pleasing the citizens of Rocky Ford, its
success being such rs to call for more
extensive series OF lectures for next fall
and winter The last lecture was by W.
@. Madison, D. D., Of Denver, and we
hear none but words OF praise OF the
speakers presentation OF "Traits Of
American Life" 1t was full OF instruc.
ton and humor from beginning to close.
Rev. Madison was most favorably i'm.
pressed with the Rocky Ford country on
this, his first visit-and the appreciation
of excellence was mutual. The music OF
the mandolin club which preceded the
lecture was highly enjoyed by the audi.
ence, for which melody tho thanks Of the
Library Association and the public are
duo Messrs. Clark, Smith, Haines and
Ryar.
