The "Sock Social I"

The "Sock Social" given last
Friday night by the Ladies Aid Of
M. +. Church, South at Mrs. John
Evered, was a 'howling success.
No not "howling success" be-
cause nothing stronger than coffee
and chocolate was allowed, but
many were present and something
like twenty dollars was collected.
You were to present at the door
the "sock" sent you with twice
as many cents as the size of your
sock; this was your admittance
fee. Some people seemed to have
such good understanding" that
they were kept away by the ex-
ceeding "muchness" Of the fee and
as for us, well we weren't present.
Singing and plano playing were
the features of the evening. The
refreshments served were "real
nice" cake, chocolate and coffee.
Would advise Montgomery City
to turn out for the next church fes-
tival.

Aaother Interesting Letter From w.
{. Crandcil.


EDITOR TRIBuNE:-
Once more will give you a few
lines from the Banner City of
Colorado.
II Is now quite common oc-
curance to see familiar iaces
those who have met in days gone
by either in Illinois, Wisconsin,
Nebraska or Mo. It seems good
TO meet those acquaintance cspec-
tally when far away from tho loved
ones of our family.
Since here have met several from
Wisconsin, my home for many
years and several of my army as
sociates, also OF school days at
Milton and Walworth Wis.
Boulder has more old soldiers OF
the Civil war than any place ! have
ever been. A large number
of them have come here purchased
OF built themselves homes and
come to spend their last few years
In n country unsurpassed for
beauty of scenery, health and COM
forts of life. Our little Grocery Store
(Mr. Silas Rombaugh and myself
has gotten to be quite n resort for
them to congrcgatc. am like the
Irishman, the longer ! stay the
more Il find Boulder ouD and the
better like 1t. Have not tried my
luck In climbing yet but when my
family gets here so they can ac-
company me am intending going
up In the mountains and see where
all this nice pure water comes
from.
Homer Snbourin and wife made
a brave start and came west and
he has secured position In Dem
yer but intends coming back to
Boulder when an opportunity
opens that he can secure posi-
tion here.
have never said anything about
our Oil prospects here as intcnd-
cd to await developments but there
are now three wells pumping oil
and 20 or more of them drilling
that have not yet made any strike.
The oil that has been taken out Is
of the finest quality and OF paying
quantity. What little informa-
tion | have gained has been from
hearing those more acquainted
talk OF their prospects.
One of the greatest industries
outside of mining in this part of
Colo. Is the brick mandatory.
Their home demand Is great, as
nearly all houses are of brick.
Our home brick Is as fine as Is
made In U. S. Tho brick is made
out OF a peculiar clay 30 hard it
has to be blasted and buildings
made from these make as fine
structure as Milwaukee pressed
brick. The price delivered on the
ground at eight dollars per thou
sand.
Every one can have cellars as
they will always be dry. do not
mean cyclone cellars for we have
no use for them. They some times
have wind pretty strong here for
o short time, comes up all at once
and goes down as suddenly.
Some call them the Bold winds.
l don't know what gave them that
name, but l notice a great many
men are uncommonly bold but as
] was affected that way slightly
before leaving Missouri will not
affect me materially.
Perhaps | am taking up too
much space will come again some
time In the future.
Respectfully,
w. G. CRANDALL.
