LETTER FROM COLORADO
Delcarbon, Colorado.

Delcarbon, Colorado.
Editor Hartford Herald:
Dear Editor and Readers
have been requested by several of
my friends back home to write to
the Herald oftener which | would
gladly do, but I am very busy and
don't have much unoccupied time.
But here | am again, we don't have
scarce as our little city is situated
so far back in the rockies away
from any railroad, we never have
loafers and but few travellers. We
have lots of shepherds and cow
boys visit our town, We are always
glad to see them and hear them
talk about the life on the plains.
1t is also amusing to see the stunts
they pull off on their broncoes on
entering and leaving town. The
herding business is about over now,
and we miss them very much. We
Stlll have lOtS VI ShoW Oh opuh
ish peaks; but it has about all gone
on the lower mountains. There
are still lots of wild animals in the
mountains here and few on the
plains, such as the kyotes, wolf and
pararie dogs 1t is quite dreadful
to hear the scream of the wild cats
and the roar of the mountain lions.
most especially after dark.
Mining is the principal industry
of this part There is some dry fran
ing practiced. The crops are look
ing fine considering the long drouth
There is some patented land here
on which the crops are fine. We had
the finest wheat crop this time that
Colorado has known for years.
School opened here the first Mon
day in September. We have a new
five room concrete building just
finished. Also new dance nall
and club room is being erected. The
climate here is very fine. We have
no hot weather to compare with the
east. we also have a good breeze all
the time from the snow capped
mountains. Alright Guy lets hear
from you again; I also hope the
McHenry correspond will send his
letters in more regularly.
Let's all get busy and help 20
make the Herald a live wire and
busy bee.
Respectfully yours.
GEORGE CROWBARGER.

LONGEVITY QUE
TO HARDsH|ps
Says "UncIe" John Shell, I3l,
Worlds Oldest Man, al
State Fair

Louisville, Sept. 16.-With his
voice as strong as youths. his
long white hair, the keen eyes of
hunter, normal hearing and home
ly philosophy and with the flavor
of the soil, Uncle John Shell. 49,
years old, Kentucky's and possibly
the worlds Oldest man, is attract
ing considerable attention at the
Kentucky state fair, which he is Wis
iting in company with Common
wealth's Attorney r. b. Roberts
and Circuit Clerk John Asher. who
accompanied the old man from Hy-
den, near his mountain home Or
Greasy creek, Leslie county.
Three physicians examined tie
old man and found that he had til.
pulse of a man of 40. Neverthc-
less the old man has feeling that h.
won't live long.
Can Die Happy Now
EFF | do die on my way home
said Uncle John I'll have the sat
isfaction of having seen the big CT
ty anyhow.
Uncle John has distinct ideas or
economical subjects. He was watch
ing a street circus parade at Lex
ington last week, Mr.. Roberts re-
lates. and displayed passing interest
in the elephants and various attrac-
tions in line. After the parade h
craned his neck and for some MIMI
ties observed the crowd standing on
the street.
What's the matter, Uncle John
Mr.. Roberts asked.
All them people ought to be AZ
work. said the old man. That's
the trouble with this yere country.
Too many people a-loaln'. I've
worked all my life and when l gO
back home I'm a-goin' to work agia'
Has 5-Year-Old Son
Possibly the most remarkable
thing about Uncle John is his five
year-old son. This is his only child
by his second wife, woman o.
about 40 years of age, whom ne
married five years ago. OF the chill
dren by his first wife his oldest gal
is 80. Uncle John claims, although
she claims to be 81. The youngest
boy is so.
Uncle John has remarkable
memory. While he denies all the
wild yarns about his having known
Daniel Boone or having hobnobbed
with Simon Kenton, he does admit
to having 'heered when was a
leetle chap about the death of Geo.
Washington. But this was so very
long ago that he is not sure but
what he heard of it some time later
he is quite frank to say. One OF
the old mans outstanding charac-
teristics is his naive frankness and
truthfulness. And he never varies
story, seemingly sticking to facts.
The fact that in all his numerous
family he has never had any trouble
is the proudest boast of Uncle John.

then somebody raises a lot of sand
about the cotton farmer profiteering
and getting rich. I want to tell you
that the price Of cotton today is cut
ting absolutely no figure in the price
Of cotton goods. 1t is not even consid-
cred
! Here is a piece Of what the ladies
call voile, l believe. Here is the ticket
Exhibiting same-$34S, or 5S cents a
yard. SIX yards and it cost me $3.4s.
1t weighs II ounces precisely.
| The farmer got for the cotton in this
piece Of goods 1877 cents, the goods
that | paid $S.4S for this morning,
I did not overlook the men when
WAS remembering the ladies, and L got
some socks. ] bought two pairs Of
cotton socks. They weigh 2 12 ounc-
es. I paid 40 cents a pair-S0 cents
| for the two pair. The farmer got 4.25
cents for the cotton in these two pairs
Of socks l paid so cents for them.
have some handkcrchiefs here, Scna-
tor. saw them in a window on the
way up and asked hc price. They
looked like good handkerchcfs and I
was told that the price was 25 cents
apiece. They weigh 4 Ia ounces. Tn
other words, they weigh a little less
than an ounce each. The farmer got
less than / 1-2 cents for the cotton in
each one OF those handkerchicfs-l less
than l-2 cents; and paid % cents
| for each.
Senator Ball, I will give you one of
them to remember the cotton farmer
by. That is Il 25-cent handkerchief
! for which the farmer who grew the
cotton received less than l.5 cents.
The farmer got less than | 1-2 cents
for the cotton in each one Of those
handkcrchiefs, and I paid % cents
apiece for them.
In this connection I want to say
this as applied to the cotton farmers,
that many people do not seem to APP
preciatc the situation they are in. The
Census Bureau shows hat there are
1000 900 families in the South engaged
in cotton production. The average is
a fraction over five to a family Last
year the production was a little less
than 100000 bales, making six bales
to the family as the average produc-
tion. Assume that they got 30 cents a
pound for it, which they did not get.
According to government figures they
received an acreage Of 27 cents per
pound. Six bales Of cotton at 30 cents
per pound would be 5000 to the fam
