The Delta independent., 1908-11-13

We are glad to report that Mrs. John
Mr.. Flint has rented the Ralph Stoner
house and will move in as soon as the
house is ready.
tPaonia Newspaper)
A few apples are still coming in to
the packers.
Mrs. Harvey Hall returned home
from Denver last Friday evening after
several weeks visit.
John Taylor and family who have
been living on the Wakefield place
moved over on Stewart mesa the first
of the week.
The family of A. A. Driscoll left
Sunday morning to join Mr.. Driscoll in
Ogden Utah where they will make
their future home.
This week Miss Eugene Smith of
Denver bought ten acres off the south
side of j. w. Reeds orchard. The sale
was made by C. C. Hawkins.
A box of Lemon Cling peaches, 60 to
the box, was placed on exhibition to-
day. They show no effect of the several
freezes that visited US in October.
On Tuesday evening Nelson Bros.
gave their annual dance and banquet
to their employees and patrons in the 1.
o. o. F. auditorium. 1t was largely
attended and was a very successful
affair as usual
Cedaredge Champion.
Advices from VIM. Balm who left
here this fall for Oregon are to the
effect that he is not very well satisfied
there. With this condition existing it
would not be surprising to see him re-
turn to Surface Creek in the near
future.
E. E. Frost returned to his old home
at University Place. Neb., the fore
part of the week where he will spend
the winter working at his trade. He
expects to return to Cedaredge about
the first of next March.
T. w Odem brought some peaches
to the Office the first of the week which
had just been taken from the trees.
They were very good considering the
lateness of the season.
The members of the Cedaredge high
school went to Delta last Saturday to
witness the basket and football games
between Grand Junction and Delta.
They are very much interested in these
games and took this means of receiving
Instructions. The Delta teams walk ed
away with both games by good scores.
j. B. Ratekin recently received a
check from the state fair at Pueblo to-
gether with the announcement that he
had received first premium on Winter
Banana apples. This variety of apples
is making Mr.. Ratekin famous as it il
one of the finest apples grown. He has
but few trees which are in bearing,
but they are good producers every yeai
and the price he obtains is anything he
wishes to ask.
A new order in the postoffice depart
ment has gone into effect and shoulc
be noted by the people in general. By
the terms of the new order defacet
stamp is hereafter worthless. Should
a corner be torn off, no matter how
small or the stamp mutilated in any
way, it cannot be used. All letters
bearing such stamps will be held at the
postoffice two weeks for recovery, ant
at the end of such time. if not claimed
will be sent to the dead letter office.
