Old Citizen Gone.

On Wednesday night as the
midnight hour arrived Geo. w.
Fry, an old and respected citizen,
breathed his last. Mr.. Fry's
death was not unexpected. For
two years he has gradually sunk
away from liver difficulty. He
kept up long after his friends be-
gan to look for his demise. About
eight months ago he took to his
bed and has not at any time re-
covered STRENGTH to get out. The
faithful wife and loyal friends
have been in constant attendance
and all was done that could be
accomplished to make his last
illness as comfortable as possible.
He retained his faculties to the
last. losing his mind only for the
day proceeding dissolution.
A host of friends will be grieved
to hear of the death of this es-
timable citizen. He had been in
the valley since the eighties and
his acquaintance was wide one
He leaves a wife and one son,
Curtis Fry, of Bone mesa. One
son, Jeff Fry, was drowned in
White river two or three years
ago. To the surviving relatives

Old Times, Old Friends, Old Love.

There are no days like the good old days,
The days when we were youthful!
When humankind were poor of mind
And speech and deeds were truthful;
Before a love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion.
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant Fashion!
There are no girls like the good old girls
Against the world I'd stake 'emi
As bu1om and smart. and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how TO make EN-!
They were rich in spirit and common sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had taught
school, too,
And they made such likely courtlnH
There are no boys like the good old boys
When we were boys together,
When the grass was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather:
When the pewee sang to the summer dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover,
or down by the mill the whip-poor-wn
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love
The love that mother gave us
We are old, old men; yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God gave usl
So dream and dream of the good old
times.
And our hearts grow tenderer fonder.
As those dear old dreams bring soothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away of yonder.

the ticket that is now before the
people under the name of Citl
zens Ticket. To begin with the
personality of the men is an ab
solute guarantee that the clty's in
terests will be safe in their hands.
But above all they are all people
who believe in keeping politics
out OF city government, They
all stand pie 1ged to obey the
the will of the people on those
questions that continually vex
the citizen with their settlement.
There seems to be no way to
escape the continual agitation
against saloons. Their opponents
will not take note of the fact that
they have existed in one form
or another since the earliest dawn
of history. and that they simply
canno, be legislated out of exis-
tcnce until men are all converted
10 the idea. In the mean time
probably it is the best way, to
settle the question anew each
spring and believing that this is
the best way. The Citizens Party
has placed the matter in all its
phases squarely up to the people.
Their candidates will respect the
decision.
In another part OF this paper
we print the ticket. We invite
all the voters to scan it carefully
and decide for themselves
whether it can be improved by
scratching single name.
In the past two elections this
paper has advocated certain re-
forms and the people have ac-
cepted our idea. We invite at
iention to the fact that we did not
deceive you. Today there is not
a corporal's guard OF men or
women who will not testify to
their satisfaction that Paonia
owns her own utilities. We have
never invited the people to take
a course against the interests of
the whole people. We do not
believe we are making any error
now when we say that this ticket
will give entire satisfaction. that
it will serve the people better and
more in accordance with their
wishes than a ticket. the head of
which boldly announces in ad'
vance that he will disregard their
orders unless they order him to
do what he wishes.
We believe that it is vital to
the interests of all the people to
as far as is possible keep politics
out of town affairs, out of school
affairs, out of county affairs.
There never was party ticket
nominated yet that could not be

improved by scratching off some
names and inserting some from
the opposition ticket. The in
dependent voter is the hope of
the nation and we have been up
holding him for years. When
men of all parties meet in mass
convention and put up a ticket it
generally reflects the popular
will. 1t is safe to support that
sort of ticket. 1t always stands
tor active vital principals and not
for the personal desires of a
clique.
Considerable effort is being
made by those who at heart de-
test M. d. Vincent. to cast a re-
Election on this ticket because it
was attempted to make him its
candidate for mayor. 1t is being
asserted that his declination in
some way casts odium on the
ticket. The fact is in the face of
Mr. Vincent's positive refusal to
run he was nominated because
the people irrespective of party,
wanted to give him an endorse
ment. They wanted to elect him
unanimously if possible. They
wanted to have it known that
even if the entire state was
against him at home he was ace
high. Also, without question
they hoped he would change his
mind and accept their nomination.
This was all laudablc, and had
we not been personally requested
to cease forwarding his chances
for the nomination we should
have been among those who in
sisted on it instead of opposing
him. We are sorry he did not
accept, but the ticket is good
one without him. And. by the
way, he did not decline because
of any feeling of disrespect for
the people who placed him in
nomination. He felt that at this
time when he is being blacklisted
all over the state for antagoniz-
ing the republican machine, he
should abstain from needlessly
affronting his home republican
machine. We think he was over
cautious. He might as we'll scrap
clean down the line. But we re-
spect his opinion and will be his
friend when the local republicans
are cunning for his scalp.

there is some merit in their conten-
ton, New Town is splendidly equip.
ped with a grammar school. while
the present high school and inferno

street in a rather central portion Of
the city and is easy OF access from
all sections. Now then, there-is ne
school facilities TO be had by those
people living south of Mansfield
street and the fact that the corpor

from the Mansfield street school
works a severe hardship on pupils
who have to make the trip twice
per day

thinks that the new building ougat
