Divorced Couples make Up Di6er-

The marriage license clerk at the coun-

evidence OF reaction against the present
great popularity of the divorce In Seat

In the past fortnight no less than four
couples whom the King county divorce
court has put asunder. have appeared to
ask licenses TO wed second time. and
from this fact argues that either there
has been a change in public sentiment.
or that the peacemaker has been abroad
more than usual lately.
Yesterday a license 10 wed was issued

Rocky Ford enterprise., 1900-08-17

Rocky Ford's Fair will be held on the
9Th, 9Th and 7th of next month, Water
melon Day being Thursday Sept. 9th;
and as usual the people of that enterpris-
ing community are preparing to entertain
a large crowd of visitors. The Santa Fe
road has made low rates from Denver
and numerous other points, and on the
score of railroad fare there will be no
excuse for anyone to remain away.
The people of Rocky Ford learned in
the early history OF their town how to
entertain visitors, and their reputation
for hospitality is coextensive with the
state. The soil and climate of the Ar
kansas valley are SO favorable for the
production of fruits, and especially
melons, that there is always an abun-
dance with which TO provide the guests
who come, and no one ever visited Rocky
Ford on melon day without returning
highly pleased.
Everyone who wishes to see Colorado's
agricultural valleys peopled with pros
porous communities is interested in fes-

tival occasions of this kind, for they af.
ford visitors an opportunity to see what
the soil of the state under irri cation will
produce. There is no locality that of
late has attracted more favorable notice
than that part of the Arkansas valley of
which Rocky Ford is the center. Many
people coming from Kansas and other
states east of Colorado have made it
their home, and it will not be manv
years until NIL its available land is
brought under cultivation.
Recently special attention has been
given to the production of sugar beets.
which will furnish the raw material for
the large sugar factory now building in
Rocky Ford. Many farmers in that vi.
cinity have planted beets, and as the
factory will be ready for operation this
fall, it is expected that Rocky Ford will
take rank as n contributor to Colorado's
sugar product before the end of the year.
Experts have declared the soil and eli
mate of TINT locality, and in fact of near
ly all the lower part of the Arkansas
valley, to be exceptionally adapted to
the production of sugar beets, and the
industry will grow to large proportions
