Dear Nary
Hcw's the world using you! Half
the town is down with the grippe, and

in style.
James Surles came down today
from the Grafflin mine to see his
family. They are all sick with the
prevailing malady.
VIM. Coombs is also under the
weather and this week left for Pago-
sa Springs for while.
/ am afraid Jack will catch pneu-
monia If he don't wear an overcoat
He has no use for his now since he
saw the one the county commissioners
presented to Lon Hartman, the retir-
ing member of the board. 1t is q
beauty.
The town is trying to get up interest
in movement for a library and read
ing room. l hope they succeed. I'll
be the best patron they will have.
This house is as cold as an iceberg.
Wish we had a furnace in the build
ing. Ira Brown just finished install
ling one in his residence. Makes it so
warm and cozy.
Guess the Baldwin coal mine will
be working over time soon, as Sam
Watson of Lake City was up this week
making arrangements to have coal
shipped there from Baldwin.
Do you remember Miss Dora Weav-
er, the telegraph operator here? To-
day l received an announcement of
her wedding to Mr.. Lou G. Hornfeld
The ceremony was performed in Den
yer and they will live at Black Hawk.
That reminds me that the Stork was
in Baldwin this week and left baby
boy at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. S. S.
Rankin. Guess the old bird was on
his way down from Crested Butte,
where he left baby daughter at Mr..
and Mrs. Jas. Harris home.
The daily papers are making great
feature stories of Queen Victoria's

Ouray to join his brother Ernest, and
the two young fellows will work on
the famous Camp Bird mine. IN bet
they get to be millionaires some day.
Quite few of the Gunnison folks,
mostly the men, have gone to Denver
this week to take in the political do

is really very good, but / should think
teaching would be an easier job. Jack
says that If the world will treat Lake
