and Miss Hazel Cheney Of Glenwood
were united in marriage Thursday even
ing by Father Fragennelle at ST..
Stephens Catholic church. The bride
is sister of Mrs. John Dixon and has
many friends in this city. They will

The indications are that more people
than ever before will attend the big
Denver stock show next week. Both
railroads are, making elaborate prepa-
rations for the crowds that will take
advantage of their reduced rates and it
is more than probable that both roads
will run their trains in double sections

The district court room is soon to be
equipped with new opera chairs to re,
place the old shackely folding seats
which have proved great strain on
the nerves of the court, jury, counsel
and auditors during every term of
court for many years. We are not ad-
vised as to just the kind of new chairs
that have been ordered, but they could
not well be otherwise than an immense
improvement upon those that have just
been discarded. Thanks, Judge Shu-
mate.
Miss May ST. Clair, for several wears
the faithful and obliging bookkeeper
at the Napier stores, is now visiting
her sister, Mrs. Dorsey at the Shirley

Illinois, where she will visit relatives
for short time. She will then go TO
Portland, Oregon, for brief visit with
her brother, Will, and then back to
Glenwood to again take up her task
at the desk. Her many friends here
will wish her pleasant journey and a
safe return to Glenwood, the best place

R. F. Bowles of Silt was business
visitor to Glenwood Thursday evening
and made a pleasant call at this office.
Mr.. Bowles is one of the most success
full farmers in Garfield county and it
is worthy of note that he is a strong
advocate of the retention by the county
commissioners of Mr.. Alfred, the county
agricultural agent. Mr.. Bowles is set
ting the pace for this county in the
matter of feeding lambs for the market
and has just returned from Kansas
City where he sold bunch of Colora-
dos little muttons for $l3.25 per hun
dred weight. This was his second
shipment this year, and he is feeding
another lot which he will market a
little later.
