DEARFIELp CELEBRATES.
Gala Day at Jaekson's Lake. Pros
porous Fishing Club Enter
tainment.

Dearfield,- July 11th.
Special to Denver Star:
On July 3rd. Prosperous Fishing
Club of Dearfield made its initial trip
to Jackson's Lake in Morgan County.
| At a. m. dozen vehicles lined up
at the place of meeting, with 80 per
sons more or less, composed of visi-
| tors and members of the Club. At
4:30 the itinerary as planned, started
for good time and we were not ia.
tigued from the Is mile journey.
The anglers soon had on hand abun-
dance of fish, and an old-fashioned
fish fry was in order on the lawn. Ev-
eryone by this time was in the best
of spirits. During the afternoon our
numbers were increased by several
parties arriving by tram.
The moon of July was ideal. A
party of marksmen fetched from the
neighboring prairie abundance of
game, which was prepared for the
feast. After relieving the lunch
cloths of their congested condition,
each and everyone found something
by way of entertainment.
In the meantime the settlers OF col
or in the vicinity had heard of our
arrival and hurried to the scene of ac-
ton, with their families, to help make
our stay in their community a pleas.
ant one. Notwithstanding the fact.
that they had planned for themselves
(prior to our arrival) merry time.
The forenoon was spent in prepar.
ing eatables for the crowd.
Everyone was congratulated upon
their good behavior and the young
men were warned, when the future
invitation is filled, month hence, the
older men must have a part of the
time as they had given away entire
ly on this occasion. Several depart
ed before the arrival of the storm, and
all were well pleased with the pleas
ure they had enjoyed. On account of
the steady rain we delayed our de-
parture until early morning and con-
tinued our merriment. We gathered
in the tent sang, told riddles, danced
and such other indoor amusement ap-
propriate to Offset the inclement
wether. At sunrise we left everyone
as gay as lark having enjoyed their
play to the utmost. 1t ives gala
day for the settlers. Never had an
aggregation made such showing of
good fellowship. 1t will be time long
to be remembered at Jackson Lake,
for Morgan County hau been shaken
from center to circumference.
The officers of the Club are as fol.
lows:
President, Robt. Cheney, Secretary.

DOWN GO THE PRICES.

/: A still deeper cut in the prices OF
food stuffs is shown by the adVer-
tisement of F. 3. Howard and Bro.
on page four of the Ga
zette today. Howard made big
hit on his egg sale during the past
week. While other provision mer-
chants were holding fresh eggs at
from 80 to 35 cents, Howard's ad-
vertised them in the Gazette first at
% cents, then at % cents, and today
at % cents. As result from their
small advertisement in the Gazette
they disposed Of 400 dozen fresh
egos in the space of three days.
Every customer was satisfied with
the quality of the eggs and that IS
one thing that has made Howard's S
hnsiness. A customer must be satls-
fed or the money is returned at
once But eggs are not the only
thing that Howard sells cheap. LOOK
over the lists and compare prices
with those charged by other grocers
To buv from their store is like find
;nr money in the street. Howard's
advertisements are found only in
the Alexandria Gazette and their
big business has been built up by
consistent advertising Of the high
quality5of their goods, the prompt
ness of their service and low prices
