"UncIe Josh Perkins,"

In presenting the celebrated comedy
drama, "Uncle Josh Perkins" to the
amusement loving public. it is unneces-
sary to make an elaborate introduction.
Free from offensive horse play and vul-
garity, masquerading as wit, yet full of
wholesome fun and delicate touches of
pathos, the whole pointing healthy
moral that makes one feel the better
for having seen it. "Uncle Josh Per-
kins" is play of pastoral purity and
intense interest introducing fourteen
distinct and truthful types of character
interpreted by superb company who
unfold with artistic skill an American
story of absorbing charm and complica-
ton. The engagement in this city is
for one night only at the opera house,

Divorce Granted.

Raymond C. Edwards and his wife,
Lorena G. Edwards have dissolved
partnership after twenty-five years of
married life. In county court Tuesday
evening the bonds of matrimony were
broken, the property divided and the
husband will have custody of minor
son. There are two grown children.
The action for divorce filed with Judge
Dickerson by Mrs. Edwards charged
extreme cruelty and the husband did
not contest. In fact during the after
noon of Tuesday they agreed on an
amicable settlement of their affairs and
decided that all relations between them
should forever cease and the court
afterward made this agreement legal
one.
The Edwards were married at Lester,
N. c.. during the year 1881. They have
lived in Delta many years and have ac-
cumulated considerable property.

The Teachers Meeting.

The Delta County Teachers Associa
ton met in the high school room al
Hotchkiss on Friday of last week.
Fifty out of the seventy teachers ir
he county were in attendance in spite
of the unfavorable condition of roads
and weather.
After an address of welcome by
Mayor Duke of Hotchkiss and a re-
sponse by Supt. Jerome of Paonia, some
excellent vocal music was rendered by
Mrs. Duke of Hotchkiss.
The teachers then responded to roll
call with quotations suitable for the
grade taught. A number of papers,
dealing with topics of greatest import
and interest to teachers were read and
discussed the discussions were spirited
and showed that the teachers Of Delta
county are greatly interested in every
thing pertaining to their profession.
At the evening session some most ex-
cellent music was rendered by the high
school quartette and others of Hotch-
kiss, after which Professor Harding,
Supt. of Delta schools, delivered his
lecture Hour With the Stars, "
which was most interesting thruout.
After which the telescope was turned
on the heavens and many more things
of interest observed.
Great credit is due County Supt., Miss
Myers, for the success of this meeting
of the association, for her wisdom in
choosing subjects on program, and for
the arrangement of program, and at
tention to the details, all of which
tended to make the association an un-
qualified success.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

markable. In 1898 there were only
about $4,000 in our Sunday Schools, one
in twelve of the population. In 1906
nearly 100. 900, one in little over five
of the population. In 1898 only about
$50 was raised for the state association
In 1906 over $4,000 was raised for the
same purpose. In 1898 there was but
one department, the primary. In 1906
we have the Elementary Gncluding
Cradle Roll, Beginners Primary and
Junior, the Home department. the
Normal department the Mems depart
ment and the Messenger department.
In 1898 only seven counties were organ
lied. In 1906 there are 80 counties or
ganized and several more waiting for
organization. In 1898 there was no
paid worker, the primary supt. being
the only one of the state officers who
could attend the different meetings over
the state. In 1906 we have two paid
workers. giving all their time and an
Office in Denver with an Office secretary.
During the last three years Colorado
has gone from the bottom Of the ladder
to the top in its Sunday School work.
Mr.. Marion Lawrance, the general Sec
retary gave the report that Colorado
had advanced more along all lines than
any other state or province in the inter-
ational field.
Colorado has great problem before
her. Into her borders are coming thou
sands and thousands of immigrants. In
Weld, Morgan and Larimer counties on
the north and Prowers, Bent, Otero on
the south, thousands are coming to work
in our beet fields. Into the mining
camps and railroad centers come hun
dreds of Greeks, Japanese, Austrians
and Italians. They come with all the
degradation and dirt of their own coun-
tries. One in five is child and can be
won to christian citizenship through our
Sunday Schools.
The state association needs the help
Of every person who wants our state to
become star for Righteousness upon
the flag of our nation. 1t remains for
the christian people of Colorado to do
and to dare for the Lord. Perhaps it is
not known how hard it is to reach some
places. In our state one can start in
the morning, travel all day and stop at
night to rest, travel all the second day
and at night be just "a miles from his
starting point. A letter sent from one
place to another twenty. five miles
across the mountains has a stage ride
of eighty miles, car ride of 3l9, a
change to another road and another
