For wonder Helen didn't want to
go to town with her dad today. And
the Dean girls are in town, too. They
and their mother, Mrs. Frank Dean,
came up from Grand Junction Sunday
evening.
/ am afraid Helen is smitten on our
hired man. He is Just = boy, but she
always sees to II that he gets the big
gest piece Of pie at dinner. Jack de.
ciares he won't have any farmers In
his family. Says am enough. Now,
II our hired man went around with q
miners pick and shovel suppose
Jack would be giving them his
blessing.
Speaking of mining: c. T. Sills this
| week sold his Maple Leaf mine at
SillsviIle to the American Exploita-
tion Company Of Denver.

from her home in Missouri and is 60
ing to keep house for her brothers at

she said no. The local paper however,
had an account of Carl Burch. who
| used to 20 to school in Gunnison in
the early days, and Laura Savage of
Maher getting married. They will re-
side in Cedaredge.
