Gently of Olney, Ill.
Glenwood people remember George
as the little cripple boy, who rarely
complained of his sufferings and who
WAS ever ready and willing to assist in
any work his weakened body would
permit. He was general favorite
among both old and young and it is
with sorrow that his death is recorded.
The message received failed to state
the exact cause of his death, but as
he was ailing for years, it is believed
this was responsible.

CAST A VOTE
FOR JOHN WEIR

John r. Weir, who for the second
time is going before the people on the
Republican county ticket as candidate
for the office of clerk and recorder, is
backed by one of the cleanest records
that a man ever had. He has been
faithful to the trust placed in him by
the people Of the county two years ago.
His books show care and are pronounced
by critics to be as neat as any ever
made in clerk and recorders office.
Mr.. Weir made host of friends be-
fore he was elected to the office he now
holds. He made them by dealing honest
ly with them and the people showed at
the last election just to what extent
they appreciate man of such sterling
quality. He has served one term and
deserves another at the hands of the
voters and that he will be returned with
handsome majority is the opinion Of
his friends in every part Of the county.
He has host of followers among the
Democrats, who, although he is Re-
publican, believe he works for every
person in the county.
Give your support to John Weir for
the Office Of clerk and recorder and you
viii hnd him worthy of the trust you
place in him.

The Colorado-Yule Marble company
had fine exhibit of finished marble;
made up of the same pieces which were
displayed here in Glenwood Springs.
After this had been duly admired, I
was shown another interesting exhibit
some slightly polished bits Of stone
from a bed of marble which has been
located close to Aspen. They ran in
color from black to clear white. The
local people are very enthusiastic over
that marble bed, and have hopes of
soon putting it to commercial use. Some
bits have just been sent to the marble
finishing mill for testing as to its polish
ing qualities.
1t is utterly impossible to go into de-
tails as to all the exhibits. There was
splendid horticultural display from
lower Garfield county and some por-
tions of Mesa county. M. E. Morrow,
of Grand Valley had splendid collec-
tion of tree fruits, and there were some
beautiful specimens from the Hotchkiss
country. Unfortunately they were en-
closed behind huge fence of wire
netting; but they looked mighty fine.
Yes, beyond doubt, Aspen is to be
congratulated on it's fair. The exhibits
alone were worth the trip; to say moth
