II you cant say anything good for the

For Peach Parings:
have been thinking Of feature that
might be made part Of our Peach day
celebration, this year. and through the
courtesy OF the Sentinel, take this means
OF bringing it before the committee on
arrangements TOR that occasion.
The event might be known rs the Day
OF Days, and the idea is to have the var
ious holidays which are observed
throughout the state. represented in
some manner, either by booths or floats,
in charge Of committee from the city
which celebrates the event; for instance,
Glenvood could represent her Straw
berry day, Canon City her Fruit day,
Rocky Ford her Melon day. Greeley her
Spud day. Montrose her Apple day, Du
range her Dave Day. etc, etc. 1t
can readily be sesn the advantages to
be derived from such a fenture. These
cities would be glad to respond to an in
vitation of that character, from the fact
that it would be good advertisement
aud to our own city it would bring
a crowd OF people from each Of the cities
represented.
That Peach Day will be success ia
conceded already by those who have
ever been entertained by Grand Junction
on one of her festal days.
Wishing the committee success for the
event, l sign myself.

The county commissioners yesterday morning heard the evidence of those re- laonstrating against the granting Of 2 license to Peter J. Hennessy of Walling- ford, and those appearing in favor of 1t. The remonstrants were officials of the factories in the neighborhood of Franklin hall Meadow street, where the license was asked for. Their con- tention was that there were saloons enough in that section of the city and another one would only increase the dan- ger to workmen. A petition signed by fifty or more people favoring the estab- lishment of a saloon at that point was introduced by counsel for Hennessy.
