PRETTY AFFAIR

One of the most unique and en-

hosts and hostess being: Mr.. and Mrs.
Lee Erb. Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Law,
Mr.. and Mrs. C. W. RoZell and Mr.. and
Mrs. J. c. Wagner
The hall was beautifully decorated
in autumn style, making one think Of
being in dreamland, it being the result
of diligent and artistic designing.
Prof Bunch's orchestra of four pieces
discoursed music during the evening,
and the large number of guests pres
ent enjoyed dancing and cards. Num-
erous Halloween souvenirs were CIV

FIRST NUMBER
LYCEUM COURSE
NOVEMBER 18TH.

The first number of the Community
Lyceum Course will be given at the
Hipp theatre Saturday night, Nov
ember 18th. On that date the Win
ters company will be here and render
an entertainment, which, from all re-
ports, should be first-class in every
way, as this company comes to Jules
burg very highly recommended.
Season tickets are soon to be placed
on sale for the lyceum course, there
being five numbers in all to appear
during the winter. The course this
year is being secured through the Red
path-Horner Lyceum Bureau, at a
larger expense than that paid during
previous years, but the attractions
are supposed to be of higher stand
ard and Julesburg always wants
the best, and the 1919-192O lyceum
course should fit in nicely.
The citizens of this community
should give their cooperation in max
ing the lyceum course success. Sea-
son tickets will soon be placed on sale,
and you will lessen the work of the
committee materially by purchasing
tickets early for the entire course.
Don't forget the first number, the

DAY. NOV. llth..
SHOULD BE OBSERV ED

Next Tuesday, Nov. 18th. is Armis::
Dsl. and We will remember that on
ly one year ago large number of
our boys were Over There" fighting
for their country and also large
number were in the camps 'AOver
Here" awaiting the call to go.
One year ago next Tuesday the AZ
naistice was signed and the great
world war ceased hostilities. the smoke
Of battle cleared. and there was
great rejoicing over the victory.
Julesburg. as well as practically every
other community declared the day .
holiday upon the receipt Of the glor-
ions news, and our citizens, young and
cd, paraded our streets together, the
hand played, bon fires were in evil
dsnce at night, etc. 1t was a great
celebration never to be forgotten.
Now Tuesday, Nov. II, 1919, is the
anniversary of the signing of the
Armistice. and should be observed in
. very appropriate manner. Wake up
you patriotic citizens! The boys are
beck to join in the celebration. Has
Julesburg made any preparations to
observe the day! II not, why not |!
Truly it behooves the citizens Of
Julesburg and Sedgwiek county to
celebrate Armistice Day in \ fitting
manner.

FORMER TOWNS
MAN PAYS VISIT,
TO THIS CITY

Our friend and former towsman,
John Mellen of Los Angeles, Calf,
has been spending several days this
week in Julesburg visiting and shak-
ing hands with old friends. Mr..
Mellen and family have been visiting
in New York state, where they at
tended family reunion of some con-
sequence, inasmuch as several mem
bers had not been together for twen-
ty-one years. Mrs. Mellen and the
children are visiting this week in
Denver, and Mr.. Mellen expects to
join them there the latter part of this
week, from which place they will re-
sumo their homeward trip to Califor-
mia. Mr.. Mellen was formerly presi-
dent of the First National Bank in
this city, and during his residence in
Julesburg ranked as one of our most
prominent and progressive citizens.
He is now prominent attorney of
Los Angeles.

R. D. SHOWALTER
BUYS INTEREST
GRIT-ADVOCATE

change in the ownership of the
Grit Advocate has been effected this
week, in which r. D. Showalter, who
comes to Julesburg from Grand Is
land, Nebr., becomes a partner in the
business with P R. Mcdowell. who
has conducted the same during the
past four years.
The publishers of the Grit-Advocate
in the future will be Mcdowell & Sho-
walter. Mr.. Showalter arrived i'll
Julesburg last Saturday, and has as
sumed charge of the mechanical de-
partment of the Grit-Advocate as
superintendent, he being an expert
printer of twenty-years' experience,
both in country and city shops, hav-
inp been connected for the past eight
wears or more with the Augustine
Printing Company of Grand Island, in
the capacity of superintendent and
assistant manager. Mr.. Showalter
is married man with a wife ana
three children, and expects to move
his family to Julesburg just as soon as
a place to live can be secured.
The new firm will not change the
policy of the paper, but it is plan
ned to make the Grit-Advocate even
bigger and better than ever. which
will be possible with greater efficien.
CIV in our working force, that has be-
come necessary in order to take care
of the ever increasing business, both
in the printing and newspaper de-
partments. 1t will be our endeavor
to give prompt and satisfactory ser
vice to our patrons, and at all times
work for the upbuilding of Julesburg
and Sedgwick county.
Practical experience is the founda'
ton for the success Of any particular
line of business. and in this respect
the publishers of the Grit-Adyocate
feel that they are amply quaht1ea

FAIR GROUNDS
SHOULD BE SECUDED

And still We do not hear of any
definite action being taken upon the
part Of the Sedgwick County Fair As
sociation in the matter Of securing
permanent fair grounds for the Sedg-
wick County Fair. Experience should
be . good teacher. and surely most
Of the citizens of Sedgwick County
realize the great benefits which
would be derived by permanent fair
grounds. Preparations for the 1920
fair should now be in progress, which
would be much better proposition
than the usual custom of waiting m-
til two or three weeks before making
plans for the fall festival. 1t is much
easier to begin now, and by 20
doing the 1870 county fair will
be an assured success. Psrma.
nent fair grounds is . great need for
Sedgwick county, and there's no get
ting around it.

"WHITE WAY" POLES ARE
OBSTRUCTING STREETS

The large poles for the white way
lights are still laying on the ground
in the middle of our business streets.
We wonder why the delay of placing
them in position. 1t would seem that
the contractor who has the job is
delaying things to suit his own con-
venience. At any rate the citizens
of this community will be mighty glad
when the job is completed, which
should not take very long if they
would just get at it. 1t was planned
to have the new light and power
plant in operation by the first of this
month. but delays caused by the con-
tractors not having the wiring and
switchboard connected up. have been
responsible for the new plant not be
ing ready for operation. However, 1t
should only be a matter of very
short time until the new light and
power plant will be running full blast
and then the citizens of this commun-
ity may exclaim: "Oh! Joy
