A Deserved Compliment.

The Inland Printer is accepted as
the highest typographical authority
published in the world. The Inland
Printer for October says:
"a card for the Daily Tribune of
Florence, Colorado set by 7. b. Cum
bow, is an excellent piece of rule,
border and type display. attractive in
appearance and neatly finished. The
presswork by W. E. Norton is good :"
We believe that we have the best
job printer and the best pressman in
the county. But don't accept our
opinion-we're prejudiced. However
complimentary notice i'll a journal
like the Inland Printer is more fiatter-
ing than may appear ON its face. The
printer or pressman that receives only
the slightest notice in that journal
considers that he has mighty good
recommendation.
There are several requisites to a
first class job of printing, and these
are all present in The Tribune job
rooms. A good grade of paper is
necessary. Perfect faced type is an
other requisite. Added to these the
job man must be artistic in his designs
and when the matter is set skilled
pressman does the rest.
Mr.. Cumbow, The Tribune job
man is a printer of long experience,
His designs are always up to- date
and there is a vein of originality in
all his work.
In the press room is Mr.. Norton,
the man that knows just how to make
the right impression and to have the
ink distributed properly over the job
so as to make perfectly finished
product.

print shops Of the city. And our ex-
perience. is that one good job always
brings another Drop in and see

It is written, "That in the midst of

emplitied to-day in the lastsad rites to
one whose presence in former years
always brought pleasant welcome,
whether within the church society, of
which she was CONSTANT and worthy
member, or of the circle of friends in
which she moved. Mrs Nathan Latin,
widow of Rev Nathan Birdsey Latin:
formerly of this place, was brought
from Shelton and inferred in theceme-
terry at East Village. She had recent
~ removed to Greenwich, Conn.,, with
her daughter, Mrs johnson, and from
a sudden attack of pneumonia and
heart-failure, came the close of truly
good and useful life. Few words of
ours are needed to her tender memory:

wife, mother, neighbor and friend,
there are few to equal, less to excel.
