Mr.. w. X. Cartcc, has SlX acres Iilitt NC

Mr.. McAdams, Il worthy gentleman
of Abbeyillc, has secured the school at
this place. He brings with hlm a
splendid reputation, and we hope nc
will make q successful teacher.
The patrons haveemployed Mr.. John
Kay, OF Whitetield, to repair the school
house. We think they would have
saved time and money to have built q
new one, for many Il time have VIC
seen the boys hang their overcoats over
the windows to keep out the cold
winds. Then when it rained you
would see the boys and girls all huddle
up in one corner with their books uli-
der their arms to try to keep them dry:
And on cold days you will notice all
the larger boys out trying to get wood
to keep the girls warm, while our
teacher stood shiyering the whole day
long. Such school house is Il slamb
to the County and disgrace to the
community, and especially when it is
at place where they pay fifty dollars
per month for a teacher. Patrons, you
must not expect your children to learn
in cold school room, for they cannot.
We have tried it. SO we say, when n
school house becomes old and nearly
falls down, build new one and give
the boys the fun of seeing the old
burnt in the stove.
Mrs. Lizzie Harris, with her two
children, came very near losing her lie
one morning last week. She was on
her way to town, driving a thought-to-
be gentle horse, and when crossing the
Harris bridge the horse became scared,
backing the buggy off the butment at
q place ten feet high throwing them
out and falling the buggy over them;
The buggy WAS torn all to pieces and
| the horse scratched up Il little. No
other damage resulted, but the mystery
is how the lady and children kept from
being killed.
Miss Josie Jolly has been behind the
counter Of our successful merchant,
Mr.. Il. IL. Jolly, for the past two
months. Miss Josie is u charming
young girl, and we think some OF the

and. their remarks evidenced the fact
that they were delighted to lind them
selves surrounded by so many OF the
beautiful works of nature and oil art.
CARRYING at Portman, the lunch, so
bountifully and suitably prepared by
the ladies, was spread on table pre-
pared in the power house, and there,
amid the hum Of busy machinery, tur-
bines, generators, transmitters and the
lice an 4 the roar Of falling waters as it
sped in great sheets over the waste
weir, the demands of the appetite were
fully satisfied while pleasantly flashed
like sparks from the mighty power
being generated around them. Sir
Thomas Tancred and Nh. Crenshaw,
being civil engineers, more fully ap-
preciated perhaps the development OF
Portman Shoals than others and criti-
cally examined the entire plant and
expressed themselves.as greatly pleas
ed.
The business men OF Anderson, when
they once enter upon the accomplish
ment of desired end, never do things
by halves, nor do they allow details
to be neglected. They have determin-
ed to secure the Black Diamond Rail
road. They now believe it is within
the grasp of our people. and not
only have they been showing Sir
Thomas TancIed and his party the
development and resources of our
country, but they have at the same
time wisely concluded to show them
the social and hospitable qualities OF
our people. With this in view mag
nifcent banquet was given Sir Thomas
and his party last night at the Hotel
Chiquola, where there were present
fully one hundred Of the prominent
citizens OF this city. The spread was
indeed sumptuous. The tables were
waited down with their burden OF deli
cious viands while busy walters, neatly
attired in white jackets, never allowed
plate to be empty andkep5 the glasses
constantly replenished with delightful
juices of the vine.
A list of the committee should be a
satisfactory guarantee to our people
that the spread and every detail OF the
banquet was exactly as it should have
been and in perfect keeping with the
hospitable natures OF our people. The
committee was: +. G.. Brown, Il. ).
Ligon, w. r. Hubbard, NJ. S. Dicken,
j. d. Maxwell.
The usual formalities OF Il program
were dispensed with. There was no
toast master and studied responses.
The occasion was open to remarks
from any one present, an arrangement
which set aside cold forlnalitles and
rendered the occasion more enjoyable
to all present. There were, however,
number of capital speeches made.
Mayor j. X. Hood welcomed Sir
Thomas and his party in well framed,
well delivered address. He was fol-
lowed by j. l.. TribbIe. Esq. who, in
being called for, was invested with the
new title, "Black Diamond Jim" HIS
remarks were forcefui and showed u
knowledge of the progress OF the pro
jectors Of the Black Diamond consid-
erably in advance of those now inter
ested with him in securing. this great
line through Anderson. 1t is only just

said was worth all it had cost. At the
conclusion OF the lecture an enthusiastic
vote OF thanks was given DIR. Ellis.
DIR. Ellis is known to most OF our read
ers as the president OF the State Agricul-
tural college. Fort Collins. which posi-.
ton he has filled to the eminent satlsfac.
ton OF the people and authorities Of the
state for the past six years. During his
administration the scope Of college work
has been enlarged and the school made
one Of the best Of the kind in the United
States. At national gatherings OF presi-
dents Of Agricultural colleges the promi-
nence accorded DR.. Ellis testifies to the
high standing he enjoys among his fellow
workers.
DR.. Ellis is OF the opinion that Otero
county should be more largely represent
ed mt the college. At Rocky Ford is To-
Gated one of the experiment stations mn
der the direction OF the college. Tie
work OF our Experiment station should
cause more enterprising young farmers
to have their minds turned in the dircc.
ton Of valuable education in the line
Of their business, which the Fort Collins
college affords. Otero county could be
very largely represented at Fort Collins
to the profit Of the students and ulti-
mately to the great benefit Of the agri-
cultural progress Of the valley.

Great Improvements on the Fan
Grounds.


A few days since the directors of the
Fair association sold 20 acres on the
north side of the grounds, the land not
being needed for fair purposes. A. G..
Conner was the purchaser, paying $11OO
for the tract, some of which is injured by
seepage. The directors then purchased
a strip of land west of the ticket Office,
which is covered with fine grove. In
the dense shade of this grove will be
built the new agricultural building and
poultry house. This addition to the
shade within the grounds will add great
ly to the comfort and pleasure of the
thousands who can always be depended
on to be present.
r. w. English made a proposition to
build a new grand stand, much better
than the present one. II this scheme is
carried out the new improvement will be
great addition to the Fairs facilities

COSTLY AND USELESS.

N0Neys
-u. COSTLY AND USELESS.
The Rocky Ford Enterprise lays down
the proposition that ''the Arkansas valley
hys prospered without the aid of light.
ming rods and will continue to do SC.
The cause Of this declaration is found in
the fact that lightning rod agents haze
been operating in the valley since the
recent heavy storms and have been par
ticularly successful with boards OF school
directors whom they seem to have con-
vinced in some mysterious way thnt
school houses are more apt to be struck
by lightning than other buildings. The
Enterprise makes vigorous attack on
the lightning rod scheme and should be
backed up by public sentiment. The
lightning rod is costly and useless ap.
pendage to buildings in Coloraao.-Pne.
bio Indicator.
TAKE ANY PRICE THEY CAN ct.
The lightning rod meIi are at La
Junta and Rocky Ford and have pro-
cesded TO "do" the people. They were
here some weeks ago rodding buildings
at rs cents per foot OF rod used. We
were advised that they were fake outfit;
that Messrs. Hynes & Colby Tor SOM,
electrical company had ordered 1870 feet
OF rod, together with several dozen
points and balls and refused to take the
goods because they could get much
cheaper article that they could handle
Just us readily. The rod they refused to
take was worth 5 cents foot and the
points and balls 30 cents each. Before
they quit this county they offered to do
work at one.tenth Of first prices. We
mentioned such fact in our paper and
they pulled west without soliciting fur
ther.
Newspaper men OF Otero county tell
the people they may beware. Sheridan

FACTS WON'T PREVENT SUCKERS PROM

The Rocky Ford Enterprise devoted
considerable space last week to exposing
the Vaccinations Of ''ligbtning rod men, y
They are no longer lightning rods,

SHOULD READ AND HEED.
The Rocky Ford Enterprise warns its
readers against the lightning rod agent.
They should read and heed. A light
ming rod strikes the farmers pocket book
much harder than lightning strikes a rod.
Occasionally lightning hits the rod and
just as often cottonwood tree.-Pueblo

The Rocky Ford Enterprise has no
love for lightning rod agents, and says it
so plain that even the agents can hear it..
