Judge Hayter called q e the county
clerk 8 Office and asked for his taxed
bill Of costs in this case. The papers
were at the clerks office, but he bill
of costs was not there. Clerk Oonger
declined to or was unable to give him
the taxed bill. Justice Hayter later
called with his counsel, Senator
Adrain, and presented q duplicate

county clerk refused the rece ize
the duplicate, holding that lac had nc
word to accept the duplicate. After

his counsel retired. na

upon to decide whether Justices arc
able to collect in such cases when the
prosecutor with holds the bills of

A Most Successful Engagement.

The Dixie Jubilee Singers on
Saturday evening gave the Grand
one of the largest and most en-
thusinstic houses in its prosperous
history. Every seat was taken
and every auditor pleased with the
exceptionally fine music rendered.
The high reputation of the colored
race for remarkable musical ability
was fully maintained by this
troupe. And the program was
given n spice OF humor that was
much appreciated. No more uni
versally pleasing entertainment
has ever been given in Rocky
Ford. The members of the troupe
are all graduates of the Vanderbilt
university. Nashville. Tenn, and
cultured ladies' and gentlemen.
A sacred concert was given by
the troupe Sunday afternoon which
was enjoyed by full house. How
ever, the lack of order incident to
an assemblage where no admission
fee is charged, will tend to dis
courage the popularity. of such
gatherings here. ..
One gratifying feature of the
engagement of the Dixies was that
the excellent patronage placed the
Epworth League almost "out of
the woods" financially. But sin o
the public has rallied so enthusi-
astically to the Leagues support
its officers will be encouraged to
continue its ligh-grade lecture en-
tainments during another winter.
Another good house like this will
fully free the League Of danger of
n deficit.
The Rocky Ford public owes a
debt of gratitude to the League as
well as literary and entertain
ment obligation. Had the Dixies
been brought here under the regu.
lar opera house management, and
at the usual prices, the cost to
those attending would have been
double what was paid through the
League. 1t is estimated by Mana
ger Sigman that the cost to the
public of the entire five League
entertainments will be $500 less
than if the same grade of enter
tainments came through the regu-
lar channels. Hence our citizens
