They Liked This Country.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. ]. Hough and little
daughter Kathryn, arrived unexpect-
edly from Omaha, Nebraska, couple
of weeks ago and visited Mr.. Hough's
sister, Mrs. Edgar Pearce, and his
brother and sister, Curtis and Edith
Hough. They also visited another sis
ter, Mrs. DR.. F. NJ. Stiles at Grand
Junction. The visiting brother and
his sister at Cedaredge had not met
in over 20 years and their meeting
was a surprise indeed. The family
were picking berries and their guests
took possession of the house, after
which Mr.. Hough went out and pur-
chased a crate of raspberries. Arriv-
ing at the house the owner of the
property was formally introduced to
his sister-in-law, when it dawned upon
him what had happened. The Omaha
people are delighted with this country
and may decide to return and make
their home in the garden spot of the
earth. During their stay they had the
privilege of visiting Grand Mesa,
Ouray and other interesting points.
