Just Meanderfnx.

A city girl writes, '"It. is a fond dream of mine to become a farmers wife and meander with him down nfe's pathway"
 Ah, yes, that is nice thing! But when your husband meanders off and leaves you without wood and you have to meander up and down the lane pull ing splinters off the fence to cook din ner, and when you meander along in the wet grass in search of the cows till your shoes are the color of rawhide and your stockings soaked, and when you meander out across twenty acres of plowed ground with club to drive the hogs out of the cornf1eld and tear your dress on the barb wire fence, when you meander back home to, the house, find that the billy goat has butted the stuffin' out of your child and find the old hen, with forty chick ems, in the parlor, you'll put your hands on your hips and realize that meandering Is not what it Is cracked up to be.-Osborne (Kan.)

to all the subscribers of the Weld
county fair asking for the second

The Tribune is in receipt OF the
following communication from A. H.

Station No. 6, Briggsdale.
Station No. Z, Gale.
Station No. 8, Camfield.
Station No. 8, Harris.
In this list of towns there is one
mistake, and the owner of the town
site and the railroad company will
have to get together for an agree
ment. The owner of the townsite
east of Eaton has named his future
burg, Zita, while the railroad COM
pany calls 1t Gale.
In addition to the towns named
there will be new town on the
main line between here and Lucerne
at the junction of the Crow Creek
branch which has been given the
name of White City on account of
the numerous tents which are now
erected there.
The town of Glover is four miles
east of Greeley at the junction of
the Pleasant Valley line and the
Grow Creek line; Gill is four miles
further, on the Gill & Decker farm.
and then a distance OF about four
\ miles each on the Grow Creek branch
= comes Bell, Cornish. Fosston anC
Briggsdale at the extreme end. The
first town on the Pleasant Valley
line. which is directly east of Eaton
the company has named Gale while
the owner has christened it Zita
and has filed his plat to that effect.
After Zita comes Camtield, which is
opposite Ault and then Harris at
the end of that line, which is oppo-
site Pierce.
By September l all of these sta
tions will be ready to receive and
send out freight.
