The Raymer enterprise., 1912-09-12

Judge Bradfield, of Greeley candi-
date for district judge, and S. E. Rim,
of Rim candidate for assessor, were
both in Raymer last Saturday evening
to interview the voters. Judge Brad
field promises that if it is desired he
will come to Raymer and see that we
have political rally later in the sea-
son. We have asked whether day or
evening meeting would be the more
satisfactory. What do our readers
say?
A good many people feel in this cam
paign like the old darkey who heard
his pastor exhort the congregation to
be ''keerful", because dar am two
paths dat leads tru dis world: de one
am the broad and narrer way what
leads to destruction and de oder am the
narrer and broad one dat leads to per-
dction.' "Well," said Sambo, ''if
dat am de case dis individual takes to
de woods. :"
The Misses Carrie and Bertha Nick
erson left Monday for Oskaloosa, Iowa,
where they will attend one of the
splendid schools for which that state
is famous. They went with the Will
iams family. and will be in school in
company with Bessie Williams. We
very much dislike to have our Raymer
young ladies go away from US, but we
like to know that they are seeking
knowledge to better fit them for life's
duties.
Rev. l. D. Williams and family de-
parted Monday afternoon for Sterling
on their way east. They expect to
drive as far as Julesburg, and there
they will get pasturage for their hors-
es while they take the train for points
further east. Miss Bessie will 60 to
Oskaloosa, while Mr.. and Mrs. Will
Jams and will go to various religious
conferences and gatherings and event.
ually reach Michigan for visit with
relatives of Mrs. Williams. They ex-
pect to turn faces westward again
when their visit is over.
The primary vote Tuesday was very
light, only eleven republican and nine
democratic votes being recorded. That
the vote will be much heavier in No
vember, is evidenced by the fact that
the registration is already 100, and
several more have expressed their in
tention to register at the next oppor-
tunity. Several did not feel well
enough acquainted with the candidates
to try and vote. But a very few vot-
ers from near Stoneham registered.
The next opportunity to register comes
October 18th. Don't forget the date.
You will want to vote for president
this fall, and we want to make good
showing in the new precinct.
We will admit that The Enterprise
presents somewhat neglected ap-
pearance this week. Last Thursday
noon Mr.. M. E. Morris, brother of
Mrs. Graves, together with his wife
and little daughter Marjorie, arrived in
Raymer for a short visit. We had not
seen each other for eight years, and
the little cousins had never seen each
other before, so school, and all work
that could be let go was pushed aside
and the time until Monday noon was
spent in visiting. Mr.. Morris went to
LosAngeles from Iowa when he went
west and is now holding n position as
dispatcher with the street car railroad
system of that city. He has a vaca-
tion of two months which he is spend
ing visiting relatives, the most of the
time being put in at Riceville, Iowa,
the place of his nativity.
We have letter from Mr.. Peckham
today and asking about the progress of
this country and stating that he hopes
to get the excursion up here about the
10th Of the month, but may be delayed.
We know that farmers are very busy,
but we do Eish that Raymer could clean
up before the strangers arrive. We do
not want to knock, but the filth and
dirt in Raymer are disgraceful, men,
ace to health and without excuse. We
want to see Raymer grow, but good
wash will be good start in the right
direction and until we do that we don t
deserve to grow. Some have suggest.
ed that If the date of the excursion
could be known before hand, the farm
ers would exhibit their products for the
