Much Interest Shown
Here In World Series

Quite little interest is being mani
tested in Julesburg by a number of
the base ball fans this week in the
worlds series games now being play
ed in New York between the New
York Yankees, American League
champions and the New York Giants,
National League champions. A tele-
graphic report by half innings is be-
ing received each day at the Lanckriet
billiard and pool hall on Front street,
Mr.. Lanckriet giving this service free
to his patrons and friends. The first
game of the series was played We'd
nesday, October 4th and resulted in a
8 to 2 victory for the Giants. The
Yankees had healthy lead of two
scores up until the last half Of the
eighth inning, when the Giants
came from behind and score d
three runs, which won the game
when they held the American league
champions scoreless in the ninth. The
reports of the games are received here
each day commencing shortly after
twelve o'clock. The worlds cham
pionship will be decided this year in
the best four out of seven games.

In Denver Friday

Preston Lee Smith, small son of Mr..
and Mrs. F. L. Smith, who reside
about six miles west of Julesburg, de-
parted this life at Denver, Colo, FRI
day, September 18th, 1922, after
short illness. He was born January
8. 1915, at Julesburg, and was z years,
8 months and 81 days Of age at the
time of death.
His untimely departure is mourned
by his parents, two sisters, Mrs. Earl
Land and Mrs. Stanley Fraker, two
brothers, Ralph and Harold, besides a
host of other relatives and friends.
His was a short illness, and termi-
mated so suddenly that the entire COM
munity was shocked. Funeral SER
vices were held Sunday afternoon at
three o'clock from the Ovid Methodist
church, Rev. Bennington officiating
and conducted by Austin & Mccoy.
The funeral was attended by a large
number of relatives and friends.
With the sermon by the pastor, the
splendid music by chosen quartette,
gorgeous and abundant floral offer
ings, all was done that could be done
as matter Of sympathy and respect
for the bereaved family and the splen-
did boy, who has passed away from
our grasp, but not our memories.
Interment was made in the Reser
vation cemetery.

Fire Limits In Jules
burg Are Extended

The fire limits in Julesburg have
been extended by the action of the
city council at their regular meeting
last Monday evening, when an ordi-
nance creating an extension Of the lin
it's was passed, and the same is pub
lished elsewhere in this issue of the
Grit-Advocate. The council is to be
commended in this action inasmuch as
it will mean less fire hazard in our
business district in the future. The
building inspector has been instructed
by the council to see that the fire or
dinances of our city are complied with
strictly in the future.

son of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Leef Of this
city, died this Thursday morning,
October 5th at the Julesburg Com
nunity Hospital, where he has been

every effort was employed to save
his life, but to no avail. The deceas-
ed leaves a wife and baby, mother

Big Springs Fair And
Festival Is Big Success

The Big Springs Fair 4 Fall Festi-
val held at Big Spring last Friday and
Saturday, September Goth and Both,
was without doubt one of the most
successful affairs of its kind ever
pulled off in western Nebraska. Much
credit is due the men who were in
charge, as the people of that little city
did not decide until just few days be-
fore hand that they would hold fair,
and it necessitated lot of mighty
quick planning and working to get
the grounds in shape, etc.
The Free Dinner and Barbecue,
which was given by the city to the
public on the first day was a wonder
full success, the OK being extra done,
and everything was served properly
cooked. 1900 dinners were handed out
and every one enjoyed it immensely.
To Mr.. M. c. Remington and his help
ers goes the credit for the success of
this event, as they worked tirelessly
to get this right. and they surely sue
ceeded.
A fine display of agricultural ex-
hibits was brought in by the neighbor-
ing farmers, as well as a most wonder
full display of ladies' fancy work and
canned fruits. The stock shown was
of the very best seen at any fair in
this country.
The race program and ground en-
tertainment was immensely enjoyed
by all, as it was pulled off with a
snap all the way, no waiting at any
time-just something doing all the
while, including some expert cowboy
stunts, such as bulldogging by DR.. L..
H. Lewman and riding by others. DR..
Lewman and r. D. Brown did some
excellent steer roping.
A very large crowd attended both
days, the second day being q little
larger than the first. Everyon left
the fair grounds boosting for Il city
Of Big Springs and its live bu. n Of
business men who 20 willingly helped
to put on this show. The Big Springs
Band was on the job every minute and
entertained the people with world
Of good music. This is one Of the best
bands in this entire section, and each
and every member Is a booster as we'll
as an expert Musician The Bowery
Dance in the evening and the evening
ball game were both we'll attended.
Altogether the fair was bowling sue
cess. If you don't believe it just ask
any one who was on the fair grounds.
Next week we will publish in this
paper the list of premiums awarded.

Business Men Attend
Big Springs Fair

The proper neighborly spirit was
shown last Friday afternoon, when a
large number Of the business men of
Julesburg went to Big Springs in a
body and attended the first days
events of the two-day Fair and Fall
Festival, they being rewarded by be-
ing given an abundance Of entertain
ment, and we have heard numerous
complimentary remarks of the occa-
sion. A large number from this COM
munity also attended the dance held
on the open-air pavilion at the fair
grounds there each evening, the music
being furnished by the Bart Stickney
orchestra of North Platte, Nebr.
This same orchestra furnished music
for dances held at the Sedgwick Coun-
ty Fair this year.

CITY Council
MAKES PURCHASE
NEW FIRE TRUCK

A long needed want for Julesburg
is soon to be fulfilled. Within about
sixty days our city will have a brand
new Ford fire truck, equipped with
the American La France standard
fire-fighting apparatus, which in
cludes large chemical tank, 200 feet
of chemical hose, ladders, axe, LIANT
erns, etc., in fact everything which
goes to make up first-class outfit.
The new fire truck and equipment
was purchased by the city council at
their regular meeting held last Mon
day evening, at which time Mr.. Pearse
of Denver, representative of the
This company has equipped fire trucks
Nebraska, including Sterling, Sidney,
Holyoke, Brush, Flemming, North
Platte, Kimball, Fort Morgan, Chap.
pell, ETC., and from reports received
relative to the American La France
Co.'S reliability and ability to give
service, the members of the council
were convinced that they could make
no mistake in securing this equip
ment.
With the addition of new fire
truck, fully equipped with modern
firefighting apparatus, and q Give"
fire department such as the Julesburg
Volunteer Fire Department, the citi-
zens of Julesburg should feel that they
will be well taken care Of in the mat
ter Of fire protection, and all right
thinking persons do realize that prop
er fire protection is indeed big asset
as well as a vital need to any progress
sive community.
While the Julesburg Volunteer Fire
Department is purely a volunteer or
ganization, and no member, with the
exception of the chief. receives a cent
as compensation for his services, the
members have taken a real interest in
the organization since the department
was organized about a year ago, and
this has been responsible for the de-
partment becoming more efficient all
the while. The department is paying
$4,000 of their own funds towards
the purchase of the agw Truck, which
will replace the present inadequate
euipment.
The council is to, be highly COM
mended in their action in the purchase
of the new fire truck, which is entire
ly in keeping with this progressive
community. and when the truck is
ready for service, vital need will
have been eliminated.
