So we call upon the parents and friends to aid us by purchasing tickets.

THE SECOND STATEMENT.
selectman Doran's Quarterly Report
 Shows a Cutting of Expenditures.

Shows Cutting of Expenditures.
 The selectmen's statement of the towns expenditures for the seconu quarter of the current fiscal year is printed below.
 It will be remembered that their statement for the first quarter printed in January showed an actual saving for that time of S3,30168 over the amount expended during the first quar- ter of the last fiscal year.
 The payment of $15,75O during the quarter just ended, to the city. for the road appropriation, really should not be included as a town expenditure. Counting this out, and also S541. .69. the amount paid for bills outstanding on the 1st of October. 1900, it appears that the amount actually expended during the second quarter of this year TOT the ordinary town purposes for ! that quarter is $19O.63 under fhe amount so expended during the cor responding time last year.

public Thanksgiving afternoon on the
grounds in front of the state peniten-
tiary. The clerks in Tanner & Co.'S.
Morrison Bros. and Nelson & Co.'S.
will play a nine composed of the
clerks Of all other grocery stores
combined. The purse will be an
oyster supper which will include both

30 p. m, and if it does not get
dark too early the game will be fin
ished that afternoon. provided, of
course, the players do not break them
selves down with too much running,
and it looks as if the game would as
sumo more the character of a foot
race than ball game.

VIII Locate at Rocky Ford.

After a residence of about six years
in Canon City Mr.. George c. Hawkey
has decided to locate at Rocky Ford.
This determination has not been has.
tily reached. At that place Mr.. Haw-
key has many influential friends who
assure him of all the work he cares
to look after. Mr.. Hawkey is con-
tracing carpenter, and has devoted
the past l6 years to that line of work.
Since his residence in Canon City he
has been recognized as man of ster-
ling integrity and splendid citizen.
He has been interested in the con-
struction of several of the new and
large business blocks in this city and
is regarded as careful and conscien-
tious workman. In the removal of
Mr.. Hawkey Canon City will lose a
good citizen and Rocky Ford will gain
an estimable family. The RECORD
hopes that Mr.. Hawkey will realize
fully his expectations in removing to
his new home.

Luncheon.

|
Last Saturday Mrs. Leonard E.
Eldred opened her hospitable home
in South Canon for one o'clock
luncheon to Cahon's brides" in
honor of Miss Victoria Rudolph. The
hostess was assisted in ente rtaining
by Mrs. Augustus Macon and Mrs.
Henry E. Smith. The Misses Jean
Whipple and Jessie Peabody assisted
charmingly at the tables.
Pink chrysanthemums and carna-
tions were used in decorating the
parlors and dining room and pink
carnation was laid at each plate. The
name cards bore the delicately ap-
propriate design of two hearts Joined
by lovers knots of true blue, while
the guest of honor found at her place
the photograph of the one who holds
her heart.
AS the company were about to seat
themselves at the tables, the hush of
expectancy was relieved by Mrs.
Eldred, who made in delightfully."-
informal way the announcement which
proclaimed Miss Rudolph to be the
bride-elect of Mr.. William G. Eldred.
AS the guests finished the last
course of the delicious lunch, Mrs.
Eldred announced another course, of
"toast"-"done brown" and pro-
ceeded to call upon several to re-
spond to toasts, presiding in most
happy fashion.
The toasts were as follows: The
Brides" Miss Grace Dale; THE Old
Maids Miss Olive Wright; Signs
Mrs. Frank N. Carrier; rs Marriage
a Failure?' Mrs. Frank McFarlane;
Our Husbands" Mrs. H. C. Webster;
"Our Babies" Mrs. Guy U. Hardy.
The subjects proved most inspiring
and there was much merriment as
the healths were pledged in fruit
punch. Though all the toasts were
bright and original, Mrs. Webster's
was particularly good, as she took
the pains to mention each husband
separately, being an "old" enough
bride to "reminisce," as she suggest
ed, and having known most of the
young husbands from their boyhood,
she was able to refer to some Of their
youthful pranks. and il the absent
victims were sometimes delicately
roasted" that was no drawback to
the fun.
On the return to the parlors, music
by several of those present was one
of the diversions, and the guests
proved their thorough enjoyment of
the unique gathering by their socis-
bility.
