liar.-Field & Farm.
c. P. Nutter returns from California
this week with his family and house,
hold goods, to again take up their
permanent residence IN Delta county.
They have resided at Los Angeles two
years and while they find it very pleas
ant there they have decided that there
is no place quite so good as Colorado.
Mr.. Nutter recently purchased ranch
in the Surface Creek country.
1t seems that we have some knockers
in Delta. In this respect the town is
no more unfortunate than other places.
But it can be stopped if the business
men who are spending their money to
boost things will turn on the squeeze.
The knocker can be knocked out if the
people 50 declare There is Business
Mems Association here to handle these
knockers and they should be handled
without gloves.

w. d. Dermody, of Fitzgerald, Der
mody Co., of Omaha. the new real

drove over lot of the country and Mr..
Dermody was wonderfully impressed
with the present and future possibilities

place above all others to boost and
that is Delta and Delta county.
U. G. Pearce. living five miles west
Of Olathe on California Mesa, collected
from his ra"ch q splendid exhibit Of
grains for the state fair. He gave q
public invitation for people to call at
his ranch last Sunday and see the dis
play, which is well arranged in suitable
frames. No doubt many took advant-
age of the opportunity. What Mr..
Pearce is doing toward advertising the
products of this part of Colorado is
well worthy of emulation by others.
