A TRIP TO THE ROCKIES.
(Continued.)

We have reached Colorado
the land of God and snow. Col
orado is at the summit &C North
America. From its craggy apex
the rivers flow north, south, east
and west five great rivers-the
Colorado. Rio Grand, Arkansas.
South and North Platte These
rivers draw their flow from the
melting SHOWS liz the mountains.
The soil comes from the grinding
up OF rocks. The soil is rich and
viii grow most all kinds of
produce. Irrigation is the system
used. By this system the streams,
which for ages have flowed
through dry valleys toward the
sea. have been made to water the
ground and make the desert
blossom-as they raise enormous
fields OF alfafa. Cora, wheat and
oats flourish in the soil, which is
d natural bed Of fertilizer. Fruit
trees Of various kinds apples.
peaches, &c. flourish aud seem
free from the blight that infects
the Eastern cline. Colorado is
the home of the famous Roskey
Ford watermelon and canta-
loupc. Here also is found the
finest Irish potatoes. High alti-
tude potatoes, which are packed
in boxes like oranges. are Shipped
East TO delight the palates of
mlllionaires who never object to

FOR THE NEW METHODIST CHURCH.

The picnic that was scheduled
to take place at Five Points on
July 4, owing to bad weather.
did not amount to much on that
date. but where the merrymakine
and selling was left off. it was re-
sumed on the evening of the fifth.
and IN consequence a fair amount
has been raised for the purpose
for which it was intended-the
building of the new Methodist
Church at that place. Everything
passed off pleasantly, and large
amount of oysters, ice cream,
cake and lemonade were disposed
OF. Capt. Travers and wife. who
had the management of the en-
terprise, displayed good tact and
judgment. The tent in which the
refreshments were served was a
fine one, as good as we have ever
seen in Mathews. Go on with
the good work.
The management desires to eX-
press their gratitude to the pub
he IN general and the people of
the Old Baptist Church in par
ticuiar for the kindly interest
they displayed.

MATHEWS AND THE FAIR.

Now that Congress has appro-
prlated over a million and a
quarter dollars to the Jamestown
Exposition, the success and the
proposed magnitude of the great
Fer centenary is assured. Virginia
Should see 30 it that her history,
her traditions, her people and her
resources are properly presented
IN this great historical and naval
exposition. not only to the stran-
gers whose feet shall press for the
first time her sacred soil, but to all
those scattered sonsof the OldDo-
sninion whose genius, enterprise,
Drawn and. brain have so largely
contributed TO the greatness of
our common country in the
North. East. South and West,
so that not only the sons and
daughters of other States and
other nations may appreciate
and realize the glory of her past,
the splendor of her accomplish
pnents and her generosity, the
opportunity and wealth of her
present and the roseate and bril-
Ii4nt promise of her future, but
that those gifted children of the
: Old Mother who. have given their
abilities and presence to the up
building of other splendid sec
tions may not be ashamed of the
progress. the material wealth and
proverbial hospitality of our
Commonwealth.
We feel that it should be the
duty of each locality to contribute,
SO far as hes in its power. to
this end.
There is perhaps no county
within the borders of the State
whose sons are farther scat
tered than the county of Math-
-ews. Her children have settled
all over this land of ours, and
many are living under foreign
flags and foreign skies. Sons of
Mathews county are to-day Civ
ing their inherited pluck and
courage and character to the de-
Velopnent of far off Colorado
aud Nevada and California. In
Georgia and Alabama you will |
3in0 them, in New York, Penn
sylvaRias Maryland. England, the
Bahama islands-yea, all over
the world-their genius and en-
terprise are enrIching the coun-
tries and the States of their
adoption.
What could be more humilia-
ting than for these Mathews
county boys to return to the
great jamestown Exposition and
find not one thing there to testify
to the resource. the wealth and
the enterprise of our people.
Another consideration which
should induce our people to
make some effort to fifty place
our county before the visitors to
this exposition is the material
good which would result to the
county from judicious advertising.
Thousands of visitors and home
seekers could be brought to our ;
shore, new enterprises installed [
and the prosperity of our county
largely Increased. 1t is worth the
outlay Of time and trouble, and
Ut wouAd' seem worse than a crime
