Rocky Ford enterprise., 1897-09-16

1t is seldom that two very bad rail-
road accidents occur 80 closely together
as those Of last week. That on the San
tn Fe at Emporia and that caused by a
collision of Rio Grande and Midland
trains are among the worst for many
years.
Sometimes typographical errors ap-
pear IN newspaper which are puzzling
TO the readers. When proof sheets are
read hurriedly as all hands are rushing
to get the paper out on time, errors are
overlooked. And sometimes the mis-
takes marked by the proof reader are
not corrected by the compositor. An in
stance OF this sort occurred last week
robbing one sentence OF all intelligence.
The printer has this disadvantage in the
matter Of errors-his mistakes are ex
dosed to public gaze in manner that is
very annoying.

heat and dryness.
The Enterprise OF last week con-
tanned an unusual amount OF news mat
ter but we were compelled to leave over
for this week almost two columns OF
matter designed for tho Fair and Melon
Day edition. During Fair week 30 nu-
merous were tho matters deserving news
paper mention that doubtless a number
Of worthy items were neglected. We are
reminded OF one in particular which es-
capped notice Inst week. l.. W. Kiel. the
jeweler, had on exhibition in the ladies'
department very fine display of watch
es, diamonds and jewelry, It was by
far the finest display Of such goods ever
on the Far Grounds, being such stock
as would be highly creditable to town
much larger than Rocky Ford. Mr..
Kiel expects to greatly enlarge his stock
in the near future.
