CELEBRATION is POSTPONED.

The announcement that we
herewith make will occasion
much surprise but it Is deemed
necessary by those having our
proposed celebration in charge.
The fact is that some cases of
diphtheria have been to1nd on
the surrounding mesas and the
extent to which exposures have
occurred is not known. Under
these circumstances il Is deemed
wrong to invite people here when
infection might follow and that
with disastrous results.
While 1t Is great disapoint-
mint to our people to give up
their celebration even tor time.
they feel i, TO be duty TO avoid
even the slight possibility OF
giving this dread disease to
others. and the celebration as
advertised will not be held
Later in the year we expect to
arrange tor a doings al this place
and the funds raised tor our oele-
br' ton will held intact tor that
event.
We feel sure that those who
would have been our guests will
appreciate the condition that
drives Us to cancel what would
with doubt have been a most
pleasant meeting.

CRAWFORD CHOPPERS COME.
A Jolly Crowd Turn out and all are
Entertained in an Acceptable
Manner.

The Woodmen of the World of
Paonla had the pleasure of enter
tanning Smith Fork Camp of
Woodmen on Tuesday. June 25th.
The boys with their ladies be-
gan to arrive about 100 a. m,
and by noon there were about
fifty husky choppers; who came
to show Paonia Woodmen how
to play ball The game was
called at 200 P. m. and at the close
OF the first two innings it looked
as though Paonia was going to
win, hands down. but the Craw
ford boys began to warm up
about the fouth inning and what
they did to the Paonia Choppers
everybody knows. Paonia's pitch
ers arm began to get weak about
the fourth inning and Neighbor
Myer was accused of trying TO
throw the game. but there was
nothing to it, 1t was a great
game and the best team won. and
by the way. it was the jolliest
base ball crowd we ever saw.
Alter supper the boys escorted
their ladies' 10 the o. O +. hall,
where they were entertained by
Mrs. J A. Mcmillan and friends,
while the boys were instructing
the candidates into the mysteries
OF Woodcraft. The goat did
splendid work. as everyone could
tell by the dejected looks of the
four candidates the next morn
ing. Camp then closed and the
neighbors repaired to the hall
below, where everyone enjoyed
dancing until supper was called
and it is needless to say that the
Woodmen did themselves creGit
in the way they handled the 200
people who sat down to enjoy
the banquet.
Neighbor Eslie Mckee. the
toastmaster for the evening de-
livered some very appropriate re-
marks which were responded to
by some of the visiting neighbors.
The POSTMASTER was then re-
quested to deliver a poem. which
he did to the satisfaction of
veryone.
After supper dancing con-
tinued into the wee hours of the
morning. when everyone started
home, feeling they had been
amply repaid for their trip to
Paonia.
The Crawford boys are all right
and we hope to see them over
here many times in the future.

We denounoe the whole report
as political white wash. and a

honorable soldier in the State of

service for his country as did the
twenty two old helpless veterans

endeavored to place them on
their dead comrades graves on
Memorial day. and were refused
sdmiitaucc TO the cemetery by
the brute and coward. Superin
tendent Aldrich.
We further Resolve and declare
that in our opinion 1t i, high
time that immediate action be
taken in every Grand Army Post

State Soldiers home is being
managed by whatever political
legislature, and boss ridden gov

they live, and their graves be
