FAITH IN COUNTY JUSTIFIED

In sending her subscription for the
News-Champion. Mrs. Helen C. Num-
cey. now at 10 Congress ST.. Amherst,
NOVA Scotia. writes many interestine
things about early days in Gunnison,
when Mr.. Muncey was owner Of the
famous anthracite coal mines on the
North Fork that were quite recently
purchased by Salt Lake capitalists
and are now being developed thru q
great tunnel from the Crystal river
side below Marble. This company.
headed by F. w. Center, is preparing
to open the hard coal on a very large
scale and hopes to have things in op-
Grafton by fall.
For thirty years after the death Of
her husband. Mrs. Muncey paid the
taxes. sometimes several hundred dol
lars year, in the firm belief that Mr..
Nuncey's foresight and judgment
were justified. Often her relatives
and friends advised her not TO put
good money after bad. but she insisted
and lived to see the faith rewarded
when the nroperty was sold for a
good sum short time ago.
The development means a great dea'
for the future industry of the county,
we are assured by the best coal en-
perts, who are backing the enterprise.

LILAcs
(By Bob Adams

o here and there on the poorer
lands an old deserted homestead
stands, in silent sadness TO deplore
the guests who come again no more.
For many feet that use TO 70 across
the threshold to and fro, far roads and
trails have learned to know and those
who have built it long Of old have
mingled with the churchyard mould.
The human brood has swarmed and
gone, but lilacs in the yard bloom on,
and ever, rs the old house grieves,
are pressing upward toward its caves
the tender green hearts Of their
leaves. The mothers hands were
rough with toll who set those lilacs in
the soil. Thanks be to God who gave
the wife one touch of beauty in her
life. The father worked from sun to
sun; for living was not lightly won.
The fields where he was wont to grub,
are overgrown with brush and shrub.
His walls are down, their mighty
stones are crushed to make road
ways bones. Lost are his labors,
great and small, but mothers bush
outlives them all. And even with the
warmth of May. what time We keep
Memorial Day, the lilac wakes to
sudden bloom and watts a message to
her tomb. Gone are the sons her
pangs gave birth. her fire is dead up
on the hearth. Sunk the flames and
black the embers, but the lilac still
remembers. II blooms for her and
spreads its scent. The incense of a
sacrament.
