TEACHERS MEETING.

The La Plata county rural teach

essfui OF tie kind ever held in this
part OF the state. The attendance
was distinctly ereditabie, but four OF
the teachers in The district schools In
,ie e. unity being absent our ruai
.eaehers certainly deserve word OF
appraciat on; as many OF them under
took q twenty-fiye mile drive in order
TO be present Their presence indi-
cated that they were willing TO saeri-
fee personal comfort and make some
effort for the good of the schools. The
interest manifested in the discussions
OF the papers presented was also most
commendable, since it increased the
helpfulness of the meeting to all pres
ent.
The school boards of the county
also did their part toward making the
meeting a success by giving the teach
ers the days leave of absence and en-
couragine them 10 attend.
Before the meeting adjourned a
notion was carried to hereafter. hold
these meetings monthly. on Satur

SOCIAL MELANGE.

SOCIAL MELANGE.
From Saturdays Daily:
The past week has been quiet in
many ways, at the same time there
has been a good deal going on OF
course Thanksgiving and it's contin-
gencies occupied the most attention
In the first place the football game
was Il blood-enlivening agency and
was enjoyed by the young portion OF
our people probably to a greater ex
tent than those advanced in life. The
outdoor exercise and roofing furnish
cd all with an appetite of huge pro
portions for the nice brown turkey
and plum pudding.
Then came the masquerade ball un
der the auspices of the A. o. u w
which proved, like all past events OF
the order huge success. The floor
iairly swarmed with dancers costum-
ed In as many different styles as one
could imagine. There was the beau
iiful in material and in make mingling
with the hideous and grotesque. The
managers We're alert to the enjoyment
of the large crowd and time passed on
swift wings. and it was early in the
morning before many realized it.
While the two weddings of note
that of Mr.. Lund and Miss Russell
and Mr. McCrimmon and Miss Hand
we're confined to the mere families at
the same time a great many of the
young people were interested in the
nv. i..k
real participants The weddings
were but the forerunner of several
that have been hinted at by Cupid and
his satellites.
There were a goodly number of
dinner parties Thanksgiving day
which will be long remembered. 1t
is one of the pleasures of life to meet
on such occasions and enjoy the fel-
iowship OF our neighbors and business
rs well as social friends.

GOOD PROSPECTS.
An Era of Prosperity Which has
Never Been EXcelled.

An Era of Prosperity Which has
Never Been ExceIIed.
From all sections or the country
come reports of splendid crop pros
poets even in spite of the excess of
rain. Here and there some one crop
may be below the average but the
general expectations are for an enor-
nous yield With a large supply of
food products there will be a tendency
toward lower prices in many of our
table supplies. Should the fruit crop
prove large one, the people can en-
Joy life this summer, while cheaper
grain will mean cheaper meat next
winter. In considering the advance
in the price of meats, it should not be
overlooked that while dressed beef is
higher than it was one year ago. the
price of the best live steers has ad-
vanced % per cent. The meat trust
is paying much more for its cattle,
sheep and hogs than it did year ago
but the scarcity of good stock and the
high prices of feed has prevented our
farmers from realizing as largely as
might be wished from the markets.
The prices of manufactured articles
are not generally advancing, in fact
the tendency is towards general
settling down in prices.
Outside of the coal mining districts
labor is busily engaged throughout
the country at good wages and unless
the labor troubles grow it looks as
though we would enjoy another year
of great and general prosperity

Fourth VIII be Quiet Here.

Present prospects are that Fourth
of July will be a very quiet day in
Belding as no special doin's of any
kind are anticipated. The old-fash-
Toned celebrations seem to have
largely played out and but very few
are advertised in this entire section
of the state. There appears to be
more of an inclination TO leave busi-
ness and work and go by families and
companies to the banks of some lake
and spend the day in quiet, restful
pleasure The grocers of the city
have already announced their inten-
tion of closing up all day so whatever
supplies you may want in that line IL
