Rocky Ford enterprise. (Rocky Ford, Colo.) 1887-1950, 1898-09-01

There is lonely homestead
In green and quiet vale.
With Its tall trees signing mournfully
To every passing gale:
There are many mansions round IL,
In the sunlight cleaning fair;
But moss-grown is that ancient roof.
Its walls are gray and bare.
Where once glad voices sounded
or children in their mlrth.
No whisper breaks the solitude
By that deserted hearth.
The swallow from her dwelling
In the low caves hath flown;
And all night long. the whip-poor-wiu
Sings by tho threshold stone.
No hand above the window
Ties up the trailing vines:
And through the broken cascment-pnncs
The moon at midnight shines.
And many solemn shadow
Seems starting from the gloom:
Like forms of long-departed ones
Peopling that dim old room.
No furrow for the harvest
is drawn upon the plain.
And In the pastures green and far
No herds or fiocks remain.
Why Is that beautcous homestead
Thus standing bare and lone,
While all the worshiped household goes
In dust lie overthrown?
And where are they whose voices
Rang out DER hill and dale?
Gone-and their mournful history
Is but an oft-told tale.
There smiles no lovclier valley
Beneath the summer sun.
Yet they who dwslt together there,
Departed one by one.
Some to the quiet churchyard.
And some beyond the sea:
To meet no more. MS once they met
Beneath that old roof-tree.
Like forest-birds forsakinE
Their shelterlng native nest.
The young TO LIES wild scenes went
forth.
The aged to their rest.
Fame and ambition 1ured them
From that green vale to roam.
But rs their dazzling dreams depart,
Regretful memories come
or the valley and the homestead
or their childhood pure and free
TIL each worldweary spirit pines
That spot once more to see.
Oh! blest are they who linger
Mid old familiar things.
Where every object DER the heart
A hnllowed influence filings.
Though won are wealth and honors-
Though reached fame's lofty dome
There are no joys like those which owen
Within our childhood's home.

day morning to bring the thing to a focus. But yesterday morning the country was still floundering around in a monotonous peace. The proprietor of the shoeblack stand then told inc manager of the bulletin board that there was a difference between actual war and red-eyed dispatches indicatino war which seemed farther off than ever. He accordingly gave the bulletin board its passports and it was re moved a half block farther down the street
 The bootblack proprietor was seen yesterday afternoon. He had some what recovered from the excitement into which he had been wrought bv the Calls bulletins during the last two weeks. He said he had been fooling his time away just to show his patriotism. His business had been nearly ruined. The crowd which had thronged and surged about the bull letin board was neglectful of it's per sonal appearance. It didn't get its own shoes shined, but it filled up the doorway and the sidewalk so that it cared less for war than they did for pOIl0uCu lOOIWCdl. AC Pi I0tOl continued, saying that he would resume business again and the coun- try might fight or let it alone. He would keep on reading the Call bull letins, but he wasn't going to break his neck or engage in a foot bal match to see them as soon as they are posted. He gould wait until the next morning and read them in the Gazette. He doesn't think much o1 the Call bulletin service anyway. It's exciting enough, but not definite The Call left itself too many holes to craw
 out of. One day 1t would make an al,
 most out and out declaration of war 1 but if one studied it closely he could
 observe that it had string tied to it
 The Call had permitted people to infel
 that it was going to precipitate th'
 war itself, but toward the last it go

PROSPERITY AT TUCSON.
Wonderful Amount of Building and
 Improvement Done There.

Tucson, April 4.-(Special cores pondence of The Republican. )-Build- ing improvements at this place for period of twelve months will compare favorab1y with any city in the terri tory in point of money invested ana character of structures, and there are projects ahead not outlined that will make 1898 the banner year in Tucson. The addition to the Sisters school, the new cathedral, the natatorium, Grosetta's opera house and Masonic temple are regarded as the leading features in the past twelve months, while there is the A. o. U. w. temple, Ronstadt's two story brick building for carriage repository, several busi- ness buildings in Meyer street, one going up next to the Star office, and others not at my finger'send. Had the Wedge gone out last winter S100- 900 was promised in new buildings to face the space on which it rested. It is still there. Improvements to Main street south and to the Eagle mill will represent five figures, pretty near six. Add the residences in value from $500 to S6 900, and the array in the two years 1897 and 1898, is simply beyond COIlputdtlOH well as figures.
 Now comes the building association for1ued in the lodge of Elks with Judge Wright chairman. The association secured the little block to the west of the court house and north of Bar rister's TOW for s5,0OO. It is the pur- pose of the association to build a club house to include an exclusive meeting hall One idea is to build so as to give an eight feet basement and 2 frontage facing the band stand. This plan seems to be the best and a house with rising basement for bowling, SO cial departments above and meeting hall in the top floor would be an i'm posing edifce. It would not be bad idea to introduce when possible, trim mings, wainscoting, etc., of Big Bug onyx or from Heyman's, as may be agreed upon. The building will cost from sS,5O0 to s25, ,000. The lodge has the finest membership, perhaps. in the territory and views on the subject O. building have not merged themselves at this writing. The figures are like 1y to vary in the matter of arranging details and cost. The idea of severa is to make the building available fol business enterprises.
