few days that one of the houses of the
Virginia Legislature has passed a bill
npproprintinS the sum of $1,000 for the
purchase OF the painting of the fight
between the Merrimac and the Monitor
now hanging in the Governors Office.
NO one could be more thoroughly In
accord than the undersigned with the
natural desire to have upon the walls
OF our Capitol a painting of this great
combat, but In the present condition OF

be unwise to have a permit to hang

FARMERS CRITICIZE mn
COMMERCIAL CLUBS EA|
FURNISHING Vyi1NIfI|

..Whereas. on the instigation OF
certain commercial bodies. some of
the commercial clubs were asked to
appoint farmer delegates to repre-
sent the beet growers before the
congressional committee investigat-
ing the sugar trust; and
whereas. the purpose OF this
action is to contradict evidence laid
before the congressional committee
by two organizations of farmers;
and
whereas. some of the CONNER
cial clubs have sugar company Of
flcials on their boards of directors.
and therefore are not unbiased bod
les; and
'Whereas, we feel that some of
the commercial clubs have over
delegates to represent the growers
side of the question; therefore be It
Resolved. that we condemn the
action OF these commercial clubs
that have usurped a power that
properly belongs to the beet grow
er."
This resolution was the feature
OF the long list adopted by the
Farmers congress at Fort Collins.
The action is in line with the action
of the Farmers unions Of this part
of the state, following the sending
of representatives to Washington by
commercial bodies for the purpose
of testifying before the beet sugar
investigating committee.
The resolution was adopted not
without argument and a spirited de-
bate. The other resolutions adopted
are in brief as follows:
That the fakirs who misrepresent
conditions here for the purpose of
people from other states
to settle here should be condemned:
that the congress favors the estab-
lishment OF the parcels post. and

NAMED DIES AT RIPE OLD AGE

Mrs. Dolly Donovan died at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Orie
Rice, near Grover, early Sunday
morning, aged rs years. She had
been ailing for several years, and
her death was not unexpected. She
died of paralysis.
Mrs. Donovan, whose maiden
name was Grover, was born in
Bethel. Me-, and was married in
Rockland, Mass. to Neal Donovan
IN 1862. Here they resided for sew
eral years. Soon after the marriage
the family started out upon a long
career of pioneering that took them
across the isthmus to San Francisco
where they had the stirring expert
ence of an earthquake Later they
were pioneers on the Columbia at
HOOD River, where as early settlers
they suffered great privations. Next
they came to Greeley and were
among the first to take up land in
the Grover district, Mrs. Donovan
giving the town her maiden name.
Mrs. Donovan was of remark
ably cheerful disposition and full of
charity and kindness for every one.
She was one of those even-tempered,
beautiful characters who radiate
sunshine upon all about them. II
she had faults those who knew her
best never discovered them.

van leaves five sons and daughters,

FREEZING WEATHER DOES .
NOT DIMINISH PAYMENT
FOR COUNTY ROAD WORK

Taxpayers of Weld county who
may have been laboring under the
delusion that the waste of money In
the county road work world be stop
pod after the grand jury report have
= bitter disappointment in store for
them. There has been no check in
the liberality of the county cOinmis-
aiOners, in spite of the fact that
the roads have been frozen solid for
weeks and the only expenses that
could he incurred would be the Occsa-
siOnal repair OF bridge.
Most people will remember that
the winter started early in Weld
county. A heavy snow and freeze
came about the middle OF December.
Practical road men say that 1t was
impossible to do road work during
this period Of cold weather, which
has continued thus far into January.
But the county road overseers
evidently found no Interruption to
their work during this period, rs
their checks for December work run
1oas than seven per cent less than
what they received for work in No
vember. In November. the road
Overseers were paid 81, ,335.75, an
average of $558.06 each. In Decens-
her there were paid ., 1887, an
average of &525.64 each.
Now, what the people want to
know is, why are the amounts paid
for December so nearly equal to
those Of November. when 1t least
half of December found the ground
10 hard that no road work could he
done?
The records show that the follow.
ing amounts were paid to the road
