Paonia Booster.)
L. B. Bell, of Butte, Montana, has
been here some days and is visiting his
sister Mrs. w. S. Coburn.
Thorne Richards left for his old home
in Iowa last Saturday morning having
been called there by the serious illness
of his father.
Mrs. A. L. Binford left Thursday
morning for Iowa where she will visit
with friends and relatives for time.
Mr.. Binford also expects to go east in
short time.
The Hawkins family returned home
early this week. C.. C. and wife have
been in Denver and while there he did
lot of boosting for Paonia. d. has
also been in Denver with his wife who
underwent an operation some time ago.
Mrs. j. D. is now at home and doing

tPaonia Newspaper.)
A. C. Van Deren, Frank Gregg and
another gentleman, all of Boulder, ar
rived in Paonia last Saturday and spent
few days looking over the valley.
All are likely to return and become cit
izens in the near future.
Lou Wilson met with serious acci-
dent at the stone quarry last Monday.
He had part of load of stone on his
wagon and in starting the team the
wagon was overturned with Wilson
underneath. The brake beam struck
his leg, badly lacerating it, but prob
ably saving his body from being
crushed. AS it was he suffered the
fracture of three ribs, but was lucky
to escape with his life.
A representative of The Newspaper
made trip to Bowie Sunday going up
on the north side of the river and re-
turning on the south. The orchards on
both sides of the river are loaded with
fruit. Peaches galore. The only way
larger crop could be had would be by
having more trees for those now in
the orchards are certainly full to the
limit of fruit.
T. M. Glib, president of the Red
stone Improvement Co., General super
intendent of tire Crystal River railroad
and manager of the Osgood estate at
Redstone, bought of Cline & Hufty
this week, j. S. Roatcap's mesa ranch.
This is one of the most slightly places
in the whole North Fork valley and
Mr.. Glib was fortunate in securing
such place whether he holds it as an
investment or if he later wishes to
make it his home. This is within the
belt of good domestic water, will be in
the electric light district by fall and as
fruit raising proposition it could not
be beaten. But Cline's friends are al
ways dropping onto the good things
and we are not surprised at Mr.. Gibbs
buying this place. We hope he will
see fit to make Paonia his home in the
near future for he is of the boosting
class of people for which Paonia is
noted.
