Thornburg Thoughts.

Thornburg lis wrapped In mantle
Of ice and snow. Fourteen inches
fell during the last storm, and the
weather man says there Is more to
follow.
Another Christmas has come and
gone. Thornburg wore its usual hoi-
ihay garb. There were no big recep-
tions nor entertainments as far AZ
your correspondent can learn, but
each family celebrated at their own
Preside.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson gave
n Christmas tree to their grandchil-
dren Rhodes and Dorothy Graham.
The decoration of holly with the
green OF the tree loaded with shining
falls and many presents for the little
ones, gave an air of wOrldliness to
the far-off ranch home in the wild
west.
The mail man. too, is rejoicing that
he will no longer have to load his
horse with extra packages each mail
day until another Xmas shall come.
All Of Thornburg people are from
hack east" and the mail seems the
only way of transportation as well as
communication, and the long dis
tance from shopping districts" and
bad roads make shopping by mail a
great convenience. We are all To- k
ing forward to the day Of parcel
post"
The ranchmen are all busy these
days feeding and looking after stock.
Wolves seem plenty, but as yet no
cattle have been destroyed by them.
Samuel Richardson has moved his
family and belongings to Meeker for
the winter.
Messrs. Lowe, Wilson and Wyman
attended the cattle auction at Meeker
and brought back several head OF
prize stock.
Mrs. J. F. Wilson has returned
from three months visit with her
people in Grand Junction.
F. f. Tucker of the Basin has gone
to Los Angeles, Cal, to spend the
winter. Mr.. Tucker has not been
well for some time and thinks So
journ In the land Of flowers would be
beneficial.
