Rocky Ford enterprise., 1897-03-11

The home-life must be the
sweetest. Keep out all pickering
and strife. The world is fall of
backbiting and misunderstanding
and envy; the home must be re-
fuge, says an exchange. The man
is to be pited who. after q hard
days sail amid the storms Of bus
iness cares and fears, can not drop
anchor at eventide in the quiet ar
bor of peaceful home. Wewant
to get rid of our grumbling, fault
finding spirit in the home, and
learn to speak words of praise and
approval. 1t is as easy to tell the
wife when she does we'll as when
she misses a button or has weak
coffee; it is wiser to praise the
children for their good deed than
to be increasingly nagging them
about their mistakes. Make home
happy, and richest results will
follow.

Mrs. Matte Quinn Carey's Recital.

Mrs. Matte quinn Careys RecitaI.
Mrs. Matte Quinn Carey captured
tbelpeople Of Rocky Ford Friday evening
at the opera house. The elocutionary
entertainment which she gave was OF a
very high order. Her recitations showed
versatile ability-the humorous pratt
fling OF a mischievous child and Shake
peare's noblest creations being rendered
with equal fidelity. We have had al
legged elocutionists who came with u
great flourish Of trumpets and endorse
ments from the cultured east who were
far below Mrs. Carey in ability. The
entertainment was thoroughly enjoyable
and Mrs. Carey can depend on another
crowded house should she again visit
Rocky Ford.
The evening closed with ice cream,
cake, fruit and coffee and everybody went
home well pleased.
