The Rocky Ford Euterpris

The Rocky Ford Enterprise
says that resident OF that burg
"visited La unta few days since
with possibility of remaining
several months, but found Rocky
Ford far preferable for an eastern
er seeking restoration to health. "
This may have been written IN
good faith, or it may be intended
for joke--it has no label. The
newspapers Of that burg in order
to tickle the Rocky Ford ribs are
continually casting slurs at the
county seat, but this is the first
time we have noticed an attempt
to boost Rocky Ford as health
resort. There may be something
in the ozone around about Rocky
Ford that is not co-existent at the
county seat, but just what it is de-
ponent sayeth not. Considering
the relative importance of the two
towns in the Arkansas Valley, com
mercially, socially, or even as re-
CARDS climatic conditions, such
slurs are in very bad taste, and an
exhibition Of littleness and con-
ceit extremely contemplate in a
man of good sense.

ter General Gary attended his last

confirmed the report Of his resigna-

reason given for Gen. Gary's retire

warned him that ho could not stand
the mental excitement which he is
now undergoing, and which he is
likely to experience within the next
few months. There is no difference

with the President for peace until
