SUMPTER POSTOFF1CE.
Recommended II Be Raised
From the Fourth Grade.

E. Ball, postoffice inspector, was in
Sumpter last week and took cognizance
Of the fact that United States govern.
ment business Is far behind everything
else In this town.
The postoftice here Is Of the fourth
class, to raise II from which II Is necessary
that It's receipts shall equal $3.50 every
three months for four consecutive quar-.
tiers. 1t has done this for two quarters,
the receipts during the last being over
$500, and they are increasing every week.
Mr.. Ball says that there Is provision
In the postal laws which empowers the
department, In case Of an emergency, to
waive the requirement relative to the four
consecutive qnarters and raise the grade
Of postsffice when the demands seem to
require such as expedient; that he will
recommend that this be done here, and
the necessary expense allowance be made
Immediately.
That vast improvement In the ser.
vice Is needed every one knows. Post.
master kahler has been the target for
public impatience and irritation, not be.
cause he Is to blame, but for the reason
that he Is the local representative Of the
postal department, and the handiest to
get at. He Is doing as we'll as any one
could under the circumstances. It looks
now as II better facilities would soon be
supplied.

4 Representative Of the Company 70 be
In u junta Today.

]. G.. Hamilton, vice-president
OF the Oxnard Sugar Refining Com
pany will be in La Junta today and
at l o'clock this afternoon will ad-
dress the farmers OF this vicinity
and the citizens of La Junta at the
opera house. Mr.. Hamilton and
James A.. Davis, industrial COM
missioner of the Santa Fe have
been canvassing the Arkansas val
ley from Pueblo to the state line
during the past week, with view
to finding out how many acres can
be contracted for, and the COM
munity that makes the best show
ing in the number OF acres pledged
to sugar beet culture will probably
secure the location OF the million
dollar factory.
The scale OF prices for the sugar
beets has been agreed upon, the
basis being 81 per ton for beets
containing IS per cent sugar OF a
purity of SO per cent and 1873
cents per ton additional for every
extra l per cent OF sugar. Eigh-
teen per cent bcets will be paid
for at the rate OF So per ton. This
is delivered on board, no discrimi-
nation made between growers, the
company paying the freight. The
Beet Sugar company will furnish
the seed at 10 cents rer pound to
be paid for when the beets are
sold. The factory will maintain
experts in the planting, raising and
shipping OF beets giving the grow
ers every chance to get the best re-
suits.
Experience has shown that the
soil and climate of the Arkansas
valley is peculiarly adapted to the
culture OF sugar beets, both as re-
CARDS tonnage to the acre and per
cent OF purity OF saccharine mat
ter. The raising OF beets is des-
tined to be one OF the most profit
able industries in which the farmer
can engage, and there should be a
large attendance OF farmers and
citizens at the opera house this at
ternoon to learn OF the plans and
prospects for the development OF
this industry in the Arkansas
valley.

A farewell reception by the

Mr.. Mitchell was presented with
an elegantly worded set of resolu-

Grand Army and Woman's Relief
Corps gave him a handsome flag
to carry to his southern home, and
with good feelings and many re-
grets Rev. Mitchell was bidden
good bye and Godspeed.
Tuesday afternoon James Ghol-
son, being little bit overloaded
with fighting whiskey, sauntered
into the Rocky Ford railroad sta

Denver, stating that he was liable
to start up there some of these

ed him that he would wait on him
as soon as he had attended to some
other patrons. Mr.. Gholson then
became somewhat boisterous and
was invited to get out OF the depot
and when he had sobered up to
return and get what. he desired.

1t is so seldom that the people
OF this vicinity have the opportun-
ity of seeing strictly first class
company that they will hail the
coming of Alba Haywood with de-
light. The past three years have
wrought great change in the
amusement world. There was a
time when almost any company
could tour the country and meet
with success, for the people had
plenty of loose change and would
go to anything and everything that
came along. AS times grew close
the people began to discriminate
and select only such attractions as
appeared to them to be worthy OF
patronage, with the result that
many of the inferior attractions
were compelled to abandon the
road, leaving the field clear to the
better ones, and the public with
keen appetite for something good.
1t has been blessing to such at
fractions as the Alba Haywood
company as they are now touring
the west to the largest business
they have ever enjoyed. They
will be seen here on Tuesday eve
ming, October 3Ist. Reserved
seats on sale at the Palace drug
store.

was bent over the blonde as he knelt
by her side, while the elder brother
leaned over the two with his blessing.
Then the three drew near together,
while the fire and the candle light and
the golden flowers shone around them,
and James Thompson told how, in one
of the cases before him for trial, he
had recognized Willie; how he had
taken the boy home and done every
thing for him. And now he was started
on the right way and wished to live
and make her happy.
Then, as Aunt Harriet clasped her
boys, as she called them, by the hand,
she looked first at one and then at the
other, and said with proud and happy
glances from her eyes:
my children, cast your bread upon
the waters and after many days it will
return to you"

Lithuania, province Of Russia, has
a strange custom, which is intended to
protect the bride, should her marriage
prove unhappy. Previous to the we'd
ding ceremony the mother, in the pres
ence Of witnesses, severely boxes the
brides ears. AS time goes by should
the benedict prove faithless or unklnd,
his vrow can sue for a divorce on the
plea that she was forced into the mar
riage by her mother against her will.
and on that score the verdict of the
Judge will be in her favor.

"Child, child, how thoughtless you
arel Don't you know this is cleaning

eyes?"
"But, mother, tell you must see
you. Is there not some place where
we can be alone?"
She gave sigh and started, he fol-
lowing. AS they reached the dining
room he took a chair and was about
to sit down, when she gasped
"Willie, not that chart 1t belongs
to the parlor, and, Willie, don't lean
on the table cover, you'll muss it!
Aud now, child, il there is anything
you want to tell me, be quick, as I've
got to go back to the girls. Williel
Willie don't you know better than to

and every fly in the neighborhood will

The boy was young in years and
young in wrong doing. Jumping to

threw the chair into corner and
stepped in front of his mother.
"Mother, came to make man of
me. You have turned me awayi
Now, / don't care what becomes OF

to your only son, so make the most of
At. I hope 1 may never see the old
house again"
He then strobe from the house, and
as Aunt Harriet threw herself into
chair panorama of her life seemed
to spead out before her.
She saw her young married life,
when she tried to bury her heartaches
under her household cares. She had
lost her chance. He was gone fore

what should belong to another"
Herewith, as though to emphasize
her words, she gave the fender kick
on her own account, while her spouse
turned his face to the wall, but lay so
quiet that she was sure his sleep was
only pretense.
After this a change took place in
the household. Four handsomer, bet
ter dressed young women did not
enter the village church than the
Thompson girls, while young Willie,
the youngest of the flock, was re-
splendent in black velveteen and brass
buttons, which set off his blue eyes
and blonde curls and made him look
more like an overgrown cherub than
ever.
Soon after this young James Thomp-
son graduated. He called OCCASION
ally on the ismily and always spoke of
Mrs. Thompson as "Aunt Harriet" I"
although he had long known the story
of his own birth, and he also knew
that most of the good things in his life
had come to him through her.
The day after he was admitted to
the bar Mrs. Thompson called OF him
and told him to draw ON them for
what money was necessary to start
him we'll in business.
He fell on his knees by her side,
and buried his head in her lap, while
he poured forth his gratitude, begged
to be allowed to call her mother, and
told how he would try to be an honor
and comfort to her in her old age.
Everything he did prospered. He
graduated, then practiced term, and
was made prosecuting attorney, then
State Representative, then went to
Congress, and from that removed to
New York. whence reports came back
that there was no lawyer there more
highly respected than he, and no one
