Masonic hall have been received by the

be quite an ornament to the town when
it is completed.

The directors OF the Prowers County
Fair association held meeting yester-
day afternoon and prepared list of
premiums and appointed most Of the
superintendents Of departments. Sever
al new departments were added to the
list. The balloon ascension business was
cut out. and in it's place a base ball
tournament was substituted. The list
will probably be ready for printing in
short time.
The Rocky Ford base ball club will be
in Lamar on Saturday and Sunday to
play the Lamar boys. The Ford has
the strongest club in the valley without
question, having defeated all the strong
est Pueblo clubs last season, and first
class game can be looked for. The La
mar club is the best the town has had Of
recent years. All lovers OF the national
sport should turn out and give their
encouragement IN these games.
The Firemen's dance, to which quite
large number of tickets had been sold,
was to have taken place last night. From
some cause or other, the attendance did
not materislize and the dance was de-
cided failure. The musicians waited
until after ten O'Clock but as no dancers
came, they departed and the hall was
closed: Some thought the dance was to
be on Anniversary night, and probably
did not attend for that reason.
Monday evening, May 10, a crowd Of
young folks gathered at the home Of
Miss Lillian L. Lynch, while she was
out driving, and upon returning home
she was completely surprised to find the
house filled with. her associates, but
when she stopped to think it was Mon
day, the day after her birthday, all then
was accounted for. The evening was
spent in playing games, and after re
freshments were served, all went home
declaring it was the best time Of the
kind they had ever had.
The Prowers County Sunday School
association met in Lamar last Sunday
and held a most interesting and inspir-
ing convention. Delegates from all
parts of the county were present repre-
senting twelve different schools. Sat
urday afternoon and evening in the M.
E. church were devoted to papers and
discussions on various subjects Of Sun
day school interests. The success Of
the Sunday school in all its phases was
presented by experienced workers.
Training Of teachers, their methods and
mistakes received due consideration. At
the opera house Sunday morning, H. T.
Plant, Field Secretary Of the Colorado
Sunday School association, addressed a
crowded house on the subject Of "Organ-
lied Work." The combined cholrs Of
the city churches led in some excellent
music. An interesting feature Of the
afternoon session was the secretary's 3
roll call. Reports from all but a few OF
the eighteen schools in the association
were read making membership record
Of over 800. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: E. R.
