a magnificent one, and should evoke
feeling OF pride throughout the
community.
As already stated, to- Fremont

FREMONT COUNTY
AT STATE FAIR

Fremont county, and Canon City
in particular, made remarkable
showing at the state fair at Pueblo
last week, capturing no fewer than
eighty-six individual prizes in the
various departments in which they
competed.
In some classes of exhibits. espe.
cially in the fruit and poultry Sec
tions, the latter was pretty much the
whole thing; thus demonstrating her
superiority in that character of pro-
duce in open rivalry with exhibitors
from other parts of Colorado.
To the casual observer the horti-
cultural and poultry departments ap-
peared to be little else than an expo
sition of what Canon City was capable
of doing in those classes of industry !;
she having practically no rivals for
the awards.
1t is hardly too much 10 say that
the displays made by the people of
this city were of exceptional excel
lence and would have attracted at
tention and merited honorable men
tom at any fair of the kind in the
United States. and should be mat

The Feast Of the Passover.

The annual Court Dinner or the Feast of
the Passover OF good things, took place
yesterday out at the County Infirmary.
The Stewart Mr.. ]. T.. Hawkins and his
estimable wife have made these occasions
red letter day every year in the history
OF the Court. The County Commissioners
were all there this year and few other
invited guests including Ex-Sherif Stalcy
Shaw former member of the Court and
the foreman Of the Journal. Mr.. AZ e..
Bowermasier aud the foreman of the
Argus Mr.. ) ID. Gatewood and the editor
Of the Argus.
The table was loaded down with the
good things OF life and a lot more was
carried in from the kitchen. but every
body fought a good fight and made way
with bounteous abundance of the de-
licacies OF the season. still there was
plenty for all and some to spare. Mrs
Hawkins is famous for her cooking and
these annual dinners are something to be
remembered by all who arc fortunate to
be present. After the dinner was over the
In6rmary was inspected and found 10 be
in good condition. Later on that after
noon the Court visited the farm near town
and went all over il to see what was being
done and found that the oversecr and
manager Is great worker aud raises more
grain than enough to supply the inmates
OF the lnhrmary and has considerable of
the products OF the farm to sell. The corn
and oats look fine. and considerable wheat
is in shock and buckwhcat has been sowed
and the meadows look fairly we'll. Mr..
Hawkins seems to be the right man in the
right place.
