The Lamar register., 1901-09-25

Clnue Gne DuBlneSS III tne olu bttauu ao-
sisted by his brother, j. A. Silver. Dick
is well known in Lamar business circles
and to the public also, and needs no in
Productions.
A fair without band would be dis
NAL affair indeed, and our boys certain
ly earned all the encouragement they
have ever received last week alone by
the large part they took in making our
first fair success They are still con-
stant in their practice, and will yet make
the banner band of the state.
Politics? Well, yes, there is some OF
that delectable amusement going on.
The candidates are very busy and are
getting in all the work possible prior to
the convention which will be held in the
near future Candidates are rather
plenty for some OF the offices, but as to
others the position seems to be conceded
to certain individuals.
j. l.. Brott, of West Bend, Wisconsin,
is visiting with his daughter, Mrs. j. X.
Doughty. MIR. Brott thinks we have n
great country here, and that the future
is full of bright promise. He is especial
ly pleased at the stirring energy of the
people. This is his first trip to the west
but he intends to repeat his visit when
ever he can conyiently do so.
George Il. Feast left for Carrizo on
Tuesday morning and will devote con-
siderable time there, in getting the
smelter to work. 1t is thought that
everything necessary has been done to
make successful treatment of the ores,
and that the proposition will be pay
ing one. Mr.. Feast's friends wish him
all the good fortune possible in the ven
ture.
The following invitation, which has
been quite generously distributed
among the young folks, is rather myster
ious. 1t reads as follows:
At Home
From start to finish
At the School House
Know ye not where
Each guess where and come there.
We'd. Eve. 9-25-0l.
Another individual has struck the
valley animated with an idea that there
is room for third paper in LaJunta.
II he will look up the other parties who
have become imbued with the same idea
he will find they are all either counting
ties or are locked up now. The present
paper is the Otero County Republican,
run by E. w. Beedle and makes very
creditable appearance.
S. Woodland was one OF the few farm
ers fortunate enough to miss the great
hail storm, and he informs us that the
first 1S acres Of his alfalfa seed thrashed
netted him s546 after all expenses were
paid. When the amount of capital and
labor involved is taken into considera-
ton these figures make the best canta-
loupe and sugar beet estimates look like
thirty cents with a hole in it. Alfalfa is
no longer the only crop OF the Arkansas
valley, but it is still the greatest source
of revenue of our farmers.
The crowds which attended the Prov
ers county fair last week, were much
larger than had been anticipated, but
every possible arrangement was made
for their comfort and there was no lack
of courteous attention from the citizens.
The managers Of the fair are to be con-
graduated upon the excellent arrange
ment they had made. Quite number
nj T.o IN
and Rocky Ford. 1t was noticeable, how
ever that from Pueblo, whose merchants
receive large amount OF patronage from
Lamar, that there was not a single visit
or from among the Wholesale merchants
of that city. B. B. Brown, who is as
much Lamar man as Pueblo citizen,
was the only one from that place, who
was noticed as attending the fair. A
little interest manifested by the Pueblo
merchants might be beneficial to them
Last Thursday afternoon, in accord
ance with the proclamation which had
been issued by the Governor and also
the mayor, memorial services were held
in Lamar. To accommodate the crowd,
the services were held in the open air.
A platform was erected on Main street
and seats arranged under the awnings
The attendance was very larfe, larger
than any building in the town could
have seated or held. Appropriate and
able addresses were made by Judge l..
F. Blodgett, Rev. Eubanks, Rev. Knucky
and Rev. DIR. Horn. During the service
selected choir sang LEAD, Kindly
Light" Nearer, Ny God To Thee" and
"America." The audience joining in
