Some Account o this Newly Settled Valley and Pleasant

The Cebolla creek above Powder
horn is but little known to the ma
jority of Gunnison county people.
Reaching as il does into the very
heart of the Rockies, drawing its
waters from the crest of the coasi-
mental divide, Cannibal plateau sod
surrounding spurs, it furnishss
many strikingly beautiful pieces II
scenery. At low water the crcck,
which abounds with native sd
brook trout, carries ABOUT 40 feet

settlers, according to its size, while
the canons W tn their rugged grand

beauty, also furnishing much splen-
did building material
These upper Cebolla ranches are
in Hlnsdale county, but nevertheless,
their owners often visit Gunnison
and are interested in us, as we are
in their prosperity.

Sad Death of Stella O'Fal!on

Sunday afternoon at two thirty
occurred the death of Miss Stella
o Fallon at the home of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs Pat O'Fallon. Her
age was Il years, 10 months and Is
days. 1t is supposed that she was
hurt while out camping several
weeks ago, but she did not com
plain of feeling sick until Wednes-
day evening, after a day in the hay
field. From that time she grew
steadily worse, but when a doctor
was summoned it was found too
late Funeral services were held at
the Catholic church Tuesday morn
ing at 1890 She was a member of
the county high school, the pupils
attending the funeral in a body.

The claim that Judge L. L. Lewis,
the Republican candidate for Govern
or, is "a nice, pleasant gentleman and
ought not to be abused is notendorsed
by his opponent" Hon. Claude A.
Swanson. In late speech dissenting
from that view of him, in which he
tore off the mask from his record, he
said in part:
"That Lewis boosted that he had
been a Republican all of hislife, there
fore, as a necessary consequence he
stood for all that the radicals had
done in reconstruction times, for all
the sufferings of our people in the
Civil War, for all the devastation OF
our beautiful State when Phil Sheri-
dan proudly boosted that crow would
have to carry his rations if he travel
ed over the Shenandoah Valley; Tor
freedoms bureau and dishonor of Ca
pable white men, for test oaths which
Judge Lewis took as district attorney
for every ill and outrageous wrong
placed upon US during our awful time
of regeneration"

The Republicans in spirit of DEM
agogism that ought to fool no tax
payer say, that it is their purpose, if
they win in the present political con-
test, to raise the taxes to provide the
necessary funds for free school books.
In other words this is the bride which
is being offered by the Republicans to
make the Democrats desert their
party. 1t is of interest, therefore, to
the taxpayers to know what free
school books mean. That infOrma-
ton is given in the following extract
from an article in a late issue of the
Lynchburg News:
"For every dollar in free books
given, the negro would pay cents,
and the white people would pay SO
cents. Every time free First Read
er was handed negro, it would cost
the negro one cent and the white peo-
pie would pay the other "a cents. The
negro receives from the State each
year about S425, 200 for schools. He
pays into the school funds approx
nately 81 200 on local tax, $4,000 on
State tax, and $52, 200 on capitation
tax, making a total of $4,000. He
now receives for his schooling S34O,
900 more than he pays in. The Re-
publican plan is to increase this $780,
900 at an additional expense to the
negro of $4,000. 1t will cost 500, 900
to supply the negroeswith free books
The negr2ss@will pay $4,000 OF tins
ara the white people will pay the
= se6, 900 additional"
Is it right that the white people DC
made to pay 100000 of taxes every
wear to furnish the colored people
with free books? Should not the col
ored people at least pay for their own
school books? There ought to be nc
doubt as to the way the taxpayers
will answer these questions at the
polls in November.

Virginia will be in the Democratic
column when the votes are counted
in November. Everybody believes
this to be true. even the Republicans
who are wont to handle the truth
carelessly and assert to the contrary.
A vast majority of the voters of the
State are Democrats, lifelong Demo
Gratis, and their opponents have no
grounds upon which they can hope,
that they will desert the party with
which they have been so closely al
lied in the past. Indeed there is no
reason that they should do so. The
affairs of the State, in fact, of late
years have been so judiciously man.
aged and in way so conducive to
the prosperity of its people there is
no reason for a change. The Repub-
licans realize the correctness of this
position so well, that the promise OF
free school books being excepted,
they base their claims to support
mainly on national issues. But while
there is no question as to Democratic
victory this fall that does not suffice.
1t ought to be a victory so sweeping
that Republicans of the country, il
not of Virginia, will be convinced that
they are out of it in the battle of the
ballots in the future in Virginia. To
that end it is the duty of every Dem
ocrat to vote. Division does not exist
in their ranks and apathy must not,
which will deprive them of the full
fruits of victory. We have no right,
if true Democrats, to give aid and ell
enlargement to the enemy by stay
ing away from the polls on Tuesday,
the 9TH of November next.

PROTECTORS FOR COUNTRY
HOMES.
Makes Them Safe as Town Houses
and Puts Them In Touch with
the World.

The approach of winter suggests
various methods for making the coun-
try home cheerful and convenient.
Standing, by right of superiority, at
the head of all the devices that the
brain of man has conceived to make
| life more liveable is the telephone.
A telephone in the home, be it ever
so isolated, is conducive to the joy,
pleasure and happiness of the mother,
wife, sister and daughter, and is at
the same time the greatest emergency
helper for the father, husband, brother
and son.
There are emergencies that come to
every household that cannot be anti
cipated, but in almost all cases the
telephone saves time, money and
IVORY.
AS a lady remarked the other day
referring to the telephone, "there is
my little helper, it calls the grocer
doctor and my acquaintances. But
more and better than all it is my pro-
tector, am often left alone but feel
safe because l know that should be
disturbed, ring and call will sum-
mons assistance and further the know
ledge of the fact that one has tele-
phone in the house deters many vi
cious persons. 1t is more protection
than an arsenal of revolvers and
eYerytime l look at it 1 feel sense of
security, which of itself more than
repays it's COST"
These statements will apply to every
home that has a telephone and the
householder who fails to install tele-
phone is guilty of criminal negligence
in failing to provide protection to his
home. Every farm house on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia should have
telephone and the security that it
gives the home folk is pay ten thous-
and times over for the small cost.

In Memoriam.

In memory of our deceased sister,
Mrs. Sarah A. Bagwell.
Another faithful one has left our
band,
TO join her loved ones on the hap
Ply shore,
We know her exit is blissful change,
Add yet we grieve that here we'll
see her face no more.
An exemplary life for young and old
AS one and all who knew her will
agree,
So gentle loving and so kind,
Filled with these graces, faith, hope
and charity.
And when in youth beside that cot
she sat,
And soothed with gentle touch the
child who fingered there,
No murmur or impatient word escaped
her lips,
Content to watch and all his troubles
share.
True missionary zeal she amply bore,
Nor ever felt too much her means
she gave,
Happy the thought if in this way,
In distant lands some darkened soul
to save.
think already in that heavenly land,
Where falls no shadows, where there
will be no night,
Many from China and Japan have
clasped her with a loving hand,
And said you helped me to the light.
Loved ones you will sadly miss her in
your home,
Where many years she gave her
counsel and her love,
But best of all the battle Is fought the
victory won,
And now she reigns with him above.
Now friends by this let us fresh cour-
age take,
And follow Him, our faithful friend
and guide,
Cheered onward by the inspiring
thought,
We are on the winning side.
By member of the missionary So'cy.
| NJ. s. B.
In remembrance of our dear mother,
who departed this life March 18th,
1905.
We have lost our darling mother,
She has bid us all adieu,
She has gone to live in Heaven,
Where partings are no more.
You are not forgotten mother,
Nor ever will you be,
AS long as life and memory lasts.
We will remember thee.
But we shall meet again, dear mother,
On that bright and golden shore,
We shall meet no more to part,
There to rest forevermore.
Dearest mother, how we miss you!
Miss you more than tongue can tell,
Every day and hour that passes,
Brings us nearer with you to dwell.
BY her daughter, Susan, and j. E.
Shrieves.
