The z. N. Cleveland family have
moved this week into the new resi-

Quite a number of the citizens of
Julesburg and community are making
plans to attend the stock show to be
held in Denver next week. The date
of the stock show is January 18th to
January 22nd.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Martin and
children of Grand Island, Nebr., ar
rived in Julesburg Friday morning,
and spent several days here visiting
with Mr.. Martins mother, Mrs. Ed
ward Radcliffe and husband. They re-
turned to their home in Grand Island
the first Of this week.
A social and box supper will be held
at the Pleasant Hill school house one
and one-half miles north of Jules
burg, Friday evening, January 21st.
A literary program will be held and
General good time indulged in. All
are invited to attend this event. Miss
Margaret Eeckhout is the teacher of
the Pleasant Hill school.
We have received the information
that Mrs. A. F. Perrier, former resi-
dent here but now a resident of Den
yer. had the misfortune to recently
fall down stairs and break an arm, as
well as bruising her right side, but
at last reports is recovering as nicely
as could be expected.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. f. MCGUIRE, pro-
prietors of the Lincoln Cafe in Jules
burg, returned last Thursday evening
from three weeks visit at Abilene,
Kansas, where they spent the holi-
days with relatives and friends. They
returned via Denver. where they visit
ed several days.
The chief topic of discussion on the
streets Of Julesburg these days is oil.
There are many views taken in the
matter, and while occasionally your
hear a knock" the majority of our
citizens are doing some good legiti-
mate boosting for the new project,
which, if realized. will transform this
section into big industrial center
within a short time.The most con-
vincing argument is that the commun-
ity has not much to lose in securing a
tsst we'll under the proposed method,
and we will all agree that there may

MUSCOVITES HELD CERE-
MONIES AT SEDGWICk

Quite number of Odd Fellows fron
Julesburg attended the Muscovlte
ceremonial held at Sedgwick last FRI
day evening. This event is reported
to us as most enjoyable one. The
Rebekah ladies Of Sedgwick served
a suptumous banquet before the cere-
monial, and we have heard numerous
compliments for these ladies. Thirty
five candidates were taken into the
mysteries of the Muscovites, and the
real live bear, which accompanied the
degree team from Denver, created
quite little excitement. The candi-
dates were from Sedgwick, Haxtun,
Julesburg and Chappell, Nebr. Those
who attended from here returned dur
ing the early hours of Saturday morn
ing, tired and sleepy, but emphatic in
their statement that the trip was in
deed worth while.
