Colorado for an indefinite period. The
party are at the Savoy waiting for
railroad communications to be estab-
lished.
J. C. Roberts, one Of the prosper
GUS ranchmen of the Lower Florida
section, delivered cream to the local
creamery today. The heavy snow has
left the roads in bad condition in his
section. Yesterday he spent three
hours making a trip of five miles
across Florida mesa. Travel has been
so light since the storm, many of the
main highways are almost impas-
sable.
Harry Darby and wife, she who
was Miss Retta Roberts, are now in
Clarksdale, Ariz They left here last
fall seeking better location. Miami
was the first stop of any duration,
but the place did not, in their estima-
tion, live up to reputation and they
journeyed on to Clarksdale. They
are better pleased with their present
headquarters, but the call of Colorado
appears to sound very strong in their
ears.
| A series of evangelistic services,
held in the Florida Presbyterian
church, was brought to a successful
close Friday evening. The attend
ance at these services was excellent
and deep interest was manifested.
There were twenty-sven decisions for
the Christian life and the influence
upon the whole community was help
full and uplifting. On Sunday at 2:30
D. m. baptism and communion will be
administered and at that time many
will unite with the church Rev. j.
Alonzo Daily, of Durango, conducted
the services.
John |. Davis, of Flora Vista is an
example of what man can do here
with fruit. Last year he sold III
boxes of Bartlett pears for which he
received $151.50: Keefers pears 653
boxes s81625; Flemish Beauties that
were damaged by the frost, 100 boxes
for which he received $SS.05; making
a total of s1,O54.80 off 65 pear trees.
OF these AZ trees were Keefers, max
ing a little less than one-half acre
that brought him $S16.25 and still
there are some people who say there
is no money in fruit in this county. In
addition to his pears, he sold 412
boxes of apples for which he received
$446.90 or total income from his
fruit of $1,501.70. We still insist
that fruit must be our basic indus
try in this section. Mr. Davis has
raised seven crops out of eight years
and the year that he calls failure
he sold $3.50 worth of fruit-Farm-
ington Times Hustler.
