Help Home Industries

The Canon City mill is one of the
big institutions of this town.
The owners have recently spent a
great deal of money in practically re-
placing the old works with new and
modern flour making machinery,
1t is now said to be one of the best
and most up-to-date mills in the West.
The mill is putting out some new
brands of flour which can be had of
all grocers.
Canon people ought to use the prod
uct of this institution as an encour-
agement to home industry.
1t ought to be the rule of this town
to buy everything that is made here,
if it is as good as can be had else
where.
Let the report go out that Canon is
loyal 70 home industries and it will
not be half so hard to attract here,
and to build up, other manufacturing
enterprises.
Every family in Canon owes it to
the best interests of the town to give
the new flour of this new mill full
and fair test

Hurts the Town.

Two unfortunate things occurred
during the recent election.
One was the scurrilous attack on Mr..
Reynolds signed by Thos. Macon put
out on hand bill election morning.
The other was the effort on the part
of a few to inject anti Peabodyism into
the local election by cutting those on
either ticket who were known to have
supported Mr. Peabody last fall.
Both efforts fell fiat and did no candi-
date any particular harm or good on
election day. But the spirit that
moved both cannot help but work an
incalculable injury upon the town.
Anything that helps to breed discord
build up factional strife, create personal
animosities and divide the people into
unfriendly cliques, is of inestimable
harm to the community.
People who stir up this sort of rows
for personal gain or spiteful revenge
are the worst enemies the town has.
Such efforts, no matter by whom
started or for what purpose. should be
frowned down by sensible persons o.
all classes and parties.

SILVER WEDDING
ANNIVERSARY

The twenty-fifth anniversary Of the
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Minor
was celebrated by large gathering of
friends at their home on Macon avenue
Friday night, more than fifty guests
taking part In the festivities, all OF
whom were Canon City people, except
Mrs, Grace Pagan, of Pueblo, and Mrs.
Kate Burleson, of Corsichna, Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. Minor were the recipi-
eDts of large number of handsome
silver presents which they will cherish
as souvenir of the jubilee anniversary.
Progressive high five furnished diver
sion for the occasion, the first honors
going to Mrs. Geo. =. Nix and Gen.
Maupin and the second to Mrs. Kate j
Moore and Harvey Leake. The ladies'
favors were silver spoons and the gen.
tlemen's silver card cases and cards
and silver mounted hat brush. Delic
cious refreshments we're served and it
was after midnight when the company
broke up, the guests beng loath to
leave so pleasing an environment.
Mr.. and Mrs. Minor were married at
Lampasas Springs, Texas, March 81, /,
1880, and three Of the guests present
last night were witnesses OF the we'd
ding, viz, Mrs. H. @. Webster, Mrs.
Olive Parrott and Judge j. j. Minor,
father of the groom. Lampasas Springs
was at that time forty-five miles dis
tant from the nearest railroad station,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Minor rode in a lum-
ber wagon to Round Rock, the nearest
point, it requiring two days to make
the trip.

There were fully 1900 people in the
Tabernacle during the afternoon service
and the spirit OF the occasion was
heartily entered into by those present.
The singing was most inspiring and
Rev. Sunday preached sermon OF
great earnestness and power to those
about him. In the evening Rev. Hun.
newell conducted young peoples
union service at the First Prcsbytsrisn
church, which was attended by several
hundred young people, all OF the
churches in the city being represented.

The Meetings

The services 1t the Tabernacle Sum
day morning were attended by n con-
gregntion estimated at more than 1900
people and the sermon. which was one
OF the most scholarly Of the series thus
far delivered in Canon City, was predi-
Gated upon the 10Th and 10th verses of
the 18th chapter OF the gospel of st.
John. There wns n noticeable absence
OF that lighter vein Of discourse which
Rev Sunday occasionally injects into
his sermons. an appeal being made to
the intellect and the sympathy Of his
auditors, rather than TO their enter
tainment faculties.

the bride with her father. As the
brides party passed through hall and
parlor and entered the dining room,
the groom, his best man, Mr.. Lloyd
Egbers, and the Rev. John T. Thomas,
Jr., advanced to meet them, taking
stations in the bay window. As the
last sweet notes of the song died away,
bride and groom stood together before
the minister who, with a particularly
impressive and beautiful ceremony,
united them in holy wedlock.
Peach blossoms and asparagus fern,
artistically draped over the lace cur
tains, made a very effective background
for the bridal party.
The brides gown, of white silk or
candle, while charming in its girlish
simplicity, was admirably suited to its
stately wearer She wore orange blos-
SONS in her hair and carried brides
roses. Both matron and maid were
dressed in white, and Miss Conway
carried a shower bouquet of pink hya-
cinths and asparagus fern. The sing
ers, also, were gowned in white and
wore pink roses.
The color scheme-pink, white and
green-was further carried out in the
ice cream, which formed part OF the
delicious refreshments which were
served later in the evening. Miss Bar
barry Schultz presided over the fruice
table.
Seven of the brides special friends,
the young ladies OF the B. d. S. club,
had charge of the decorations and as
sisted in serving the guests.
The brides cake was the center of
attraction until the ring, the pen, the
dime and the thimble had been dis
covered and the finders congratulated
or condoled with. Many OF the young
people waited to see their newly mar
ried friends start for their new home
on Whipple avenue, showering good
wishes-and rice-upon them.
Several guests were present from out
Of town, among them Mrs. James Ken
dali, OF Eaton, Mrs. Bert Snyder, of
Cripple Creek, Miss Mulnix, Of Pueblo
and Miss Beswick, of Colorado Springs.
Miss Lowther spent her early child
hood in Canon and after the family had
lived some time in California, came
back and graduated from the high
school here before finishing her studies
at the state normal school in Greeley,
and taking the position she has since
held in our schools, so she is very well
known. She is not only popular
teacher but universally loved for her
sweet, womanly qualities.
Mr. Laws. though not so long resi-
dent of our city, has won Il high place
in the esteem of all who know him by
his manliness and sterling worth.

Southern HerOiSIn.

Just five years ago the whole coun-
try was startled by the report that the
city of Galveston had been swept
away by q storm. The devastation
was almost complete, the city was
prostrated, many lives were lost, and
it seemed that Galveston had been
wiped off the map; but the people Of
Galveston were not broken in spirit,
and as soon as possible they began
the work Of rebuilding their city.
Since then they have expended the
enormous sum of SIG, 900, 600 in build
ing a sea wall and bringing the low
ground up to safe level, and they
have expended s10,000,000 more in
building new residences, business
houses, churches, schools, libraries
and hospitals. Galveston today is a
prosperous and progressive city,
stronger and better and weather.
than ever. and safe forever from tidal
waves. It is notable record and a
noble tribute to the character Of
Southern people. 1t shows that
Southern men Of the present genera
ton have inherited the courage and
heroism which their fathers showed
in the war for Southern independence.
