Manzanola celebrated the winning
of the Hearst Cup last Friday in all
the successful ways that that little
city is capable OF, and its record as
entertaining was boosted even higher
by the pleasant day spent there by
the farmers of the community and the
visitors from other sections.
Owing to the inclcment weather the
evening program was not held at the
Riverside park, but the afternoon ex-
ercises in the hall were well attended
and very pleasing program was
given.
Among those who attended from
Rocky Ford were Frederick Noble.
Postmaster Lantz. Sam Mathews. J:
Fl. Award, William Goblin. Will
Wright. Chas. Reckcr and others. all
classed as real boosters from the
real booster city" Other towns in
the valley were we'll represented. and
the feeling of good feeling existing
everywhere in the valley was never
better expressed.
About 800 people were gathered at
the midday banquet. where the fruits
of the valley were piled in abund-
ance of nearly everything that man
could wish for or think OF, and in
such quantities that the crowd was
simply grub-bewildered. However.
the bewilderment did not last long.
for the way things began to vanish
around that festive board was GER
tainly flattcring to the good women
of the district who had prepared the
spread. Within the short period OF
two hours. from 1890 until 2:3o p. m,
probably there never was as much
fancy viands consumed rs at the Man.
zanola Jubilee banquet today.
After the banquet the afternoon was
enjoyed at the Odd Fellows hall in
specc hmaking. where H. B. Dye, c.
K. Blinn, b. +. Bowers and many
other producers of the district. in
rousing booster talks demonstrated to
the visitors that there were good rea-
sons for the present progressive con-
dition and prosperity of the Manza-
nola district.
Chairman Thos. J. Stanley. presi-
club was at his best and the way
