THE NEWCOMES g

Although the long mo. volume nov els are no longer popular, yet Dickens and Thackeray will never go out Ot fashion. For original characterization and dramatic power their works re- main unsurpassed in modern fiction. No thoughtful man can read The NeWcomes'' withOUs being the better for i'- Here the gentle satirist is at his best, as he brings before us man. aging mammaS, self admired artists, unpri1c:pIed politicians, and n0blemen unworthy of the name. We admire and love honest, big souied Colonel Newcomb, and despise the selfish and know was to hate.
 How many men really brave and noble drift with the tide as did Give NeWcOme, waste their time and tal- ents, and make a shipwreck of life on the shoals of matrimony. We do not wonder that in speaking of h.s father he asks, Isn't he 8 noble old trump?"
 We think of J. Bayham, who comes out strong in his noble devotion to his benefactor in time of misfortune, of MT. HOneynan, the weak and un- worthy priest who manifests uneX- peCted nobility of character in his later years; of SherTick. his wines and his chapel; of Gandish and his art rooms; of Lord Kew, a worthy Eng lishman; of Lady Kew. loved by all whom she trusted; of Sir Barnes New come, the unworthy brother Of a noble woman, for with all her fauIts and foibIes-and she is vain and some times weak; Ethel Newcome, is a strong sOuled, earnest woman, though her life illustrates how the mower of environment can almost change the character of a woman who wants to do right
 We are led behind the scenes at Ba- den; we look upon pleasart pictures of Gives school days. We see pretty little petty souled Rosey, and the old o2mpaigners, conquerers of honest James Binney; kind Countess De Flo rae, and her accommodating son. We note Thacke1ay's generous apprecia- ton of his co-laborers, Dickens and Scott. We see the utter emptiness Of the pleasures of so-called high life. The women in the Newcomes are weak; besides Ethel Newcome. who is willing to sacrifice herself on the altar of fashion, Mrs. Pendennis is almost the only noble soul among them, and she $ a minor character and an un- derstudy of her husband.
 Give Newccme is kind, patient and faithful Colonel NeWcome is a model father and friend whose kingly court esy is but the outward expression of the childlike gentleness and noble faithfulness of his chivalric heart The fine old English gentleman is drawn to perfection.

Stocks are higher than they were 9 month O. so ago, when 1t was said that the offering prices had been figured on the earning capacity for the past five years, but tt is though, that a cash offer, with a re- spectable. premium on present market values, will be sufficient to induce stockholders to sell their certificates. There has bean a good deal of doubt expressed recently as to the existence Clt anything lik plan to buy the mills, bu.s it is now insisted that an offer will be made very shortly.

The difference between the amount
of fruit raised and the sum realized
from the sale of the same was about
100000, which was consumed at home,
and hauled away in wagons and sold
in the towns of the neighboring coun-
ties. The acreage is being increased
right along, and but few years will
elapse before the fruit crop Of Mesa
county will be simply enormous.
Reader, did you ever taste of one Of
the Grand Junction peaches-one Of
Hale's Early, for instance, just picked
from the tree? If you have not,
you have no correct conception of the
delicious flavor Of the Grand Junction
peach on its native heath.
The farming interests as shown by
the figures are already considerable,
but tie culture Of fruit being more
profitable, farming is as yet not very
extensively pursued. When the great
Webster said: Farmers are the
founders of civilization" he uttered a
truth which has been verified through
all the ages. If Mesa county would
more permanently increase in wealth,
strength and independence, it should
make united effort to multiply the
number of frugal, careful and intelli-
gent husbandmen. They alone lay the
solid masonry upon which the most
massive and enduring superstructures
are builded.
COUNTY AFFAIRS.
The fact that Grand Junction is the
county seat of Mesa county, adds much
to its present growth and future pros
perity. The county is the eleventh in
size, and embraces 5000 square miles
of territory. 1t is as large as the
states of Delaware and Rhode Island
combined, and Is capable Of sustaining
more than 100000 people. 1t contains
a population of about 1000. 1t has
forty-five school houses, sixty-fve
teachers, and 2,5O2 school children; 1OS
miles of railway, and ninety-six miles
of telephone and telegraph wire.

The following we'll written history OF
this city, its resources, its future possi-
bilities, was written for "Facts" publ
j. L. Berry, one Of the foremost writer's
of the state.
The matter set forth in the article
was so important to the interests OF the
city, that the Sentinel felt under obliga-
tions to reproduce same for the benefit
OF its readers and for the good it might
do, setting forth as it does the bound
less resources Of this region and the pos
sible future growth of the city.
The article is we'll worth study. 1t
gives in detail the material resources of
the county, the probable pay roll from
all sources, showing something that has
never been given in print before in this
city in any publication. 1t tells plainly
and concisely what the people want to
know, from whence do your people re-
ceivs their support.
It will be seen at once that great deal
Of money is spent in this city annually
and is bound to double in amount in the
next few years. OF all things that have
been written for the benefit of the city
the Sentinel unhesitatingly says that
this article is the best. The wide dis
tribution of this information will do
more real good than the pamphlet, re-
Gently published through the help OF
= the city and the county.
Grand Junction is destined to be one
of the largest and most important com
mercial centers of the state. Its geo.
graphical position, its climatic condi-
tiOns, the natural adaptability of the
soil to the growth of agriculture, the
production of fruit, and the raising of
herds and flocks,' supplemented with
an exhaustless supply of water for any
and all purposes, give it advantages
which none Of its sister towns and
cities possess to the same extent.
Some counties of the state excel in
wheat; some in Irish potatoes; some in
fruit; some in melons; some in one
thing and some in another; but as a
first-class all-round producer, Mesa
county has no equal in the state.
Surrounded with everything that
will build it up, and constantly add to
its expansion and financial strength,
Grand Junction is bound to double its
population in few years. 1t now con-
tains about 1850 people, which makes
it the ninth city in size in the state.
We predict, however, that before the
passing of the next decade, it will have
advanced to the sixth in population.
ITS MATERIAL RESOURCES.
Grand Junction is not a mining camp
and does not, therefore, possess the ad
vantages which come from the output
of the precious and merchantable met
ais. Its material strength is drawn
from other sources.
At the machine shop, round
house and Union depot,

desperate hatred toward the white,
every one fighting to avenge a per-
sonal wrong. Ten thousand killed
in battle could not stop the ava
lanche of blacks; they would crush
the white man, and white suprmacy
in South Africa would again be a
thing Of history if once the natives
rise. It would take the better
part of a century to restore the old
order of things. That is why
both the Briton and the Boer have
so far refrained from melting the
natives to take up arms.
