Dear Nary
Here l am. alone. and waiting for
the children to come from school. I
hope their appetites haven't increased
since breakfast, for l did not 60 to
much trouble on dinner. Jack is not
home this week, SO ! am taking life
easy. He has been down Cebolla way
this week, helping Major Il. A. Skues
survey timber tract for ]. J. Car
penter. Jack was telling me when he
came home that the teacher there,
Miss Ethel Avise of Imperial, Neb., is
holding classes in the office Of the
hotel at present.
While Jack was down there, he saw
the specimens M. NJ. Foster brought
up from Spencer. Frank Holt dis
covered them in some property around
there. i suppose now Jack will spend
the rest of the winter in that neck Of
I the woods.
Jack was saying that Mr.. and Mrs.
Collamen and her son, Bennie Miller,
have moved to Cebolla from the Car
penter saw mill.
Wish ! could have gone to the Leap
Year dance given Mt Howeville Friday
night. The ladies paid for the music,
which was furnished by H. B. Nc
Kinney Of Parlin; VIM. Clark Of
Taylor River, Louis Rice of the Gold
en- Edge mine, and w. A. Willis of
Howeville.
Gunnison folks were grieved this
, week on receiving word that Rev.
Chas. Fuller had passed away in San
Diego on the 9th. He used 10 live
here for years.
| Heard there was a death at Mt.
Carbon last week. T. C. Mcdonald
died from pneumonia.
My stars! There goes the fire bell.
Well, I'm not going to run with the
crowd to find out. I'll wait till the
children come to dinner. Wonder who
Is burning up.
Ny next door neighbor. John Nc
Cormick received word this week of
the death of his aged father, in Gin
cinatti. He was S8 years old.
Two little New Year packages ar
rived from Storkland this week. One
at the w. F. Melton home and the
other at the George P. Myers home.
Both Of them baby girls. A new baby
also arrived at the J. G. Jardine home
in Powderhon. also girl. Looks
suspicious, SO many girls arriving in
Leap Year.
Ha, ha, ha! The lady next door
just went by on the way home, as
mad as q hornet. She started out to
see where the fire is and slipped on
the icy walk in front Of Peck's new
place and fell down. l had to laugh.
She said the fire was at the bottline
works run by Mrs. Lizzie Desaulniers
in lower town. The building is owned
by Cap. Bird.
Oh, yes, that Peck place just men,
toned, has been sold to John Eastman
and he is going to make il over into
rooming house.
l forgot last week to tell you about
the family reunion at the Hartman
ranch. Mrs. Hartman's mother, Mrs.
Mary Haigler, had all her children and
grand children except one son and his
family, with her on Christmas Day.
Our fellow townsman, Ferdinand
Hagen, and family are moving to
Salt Lake City this week.
AS fast as one family leave, an
other comes. w. E. Banks was down
from Mt. Carbon yesterday to meet
his wife, from Roslin, Washington.
The children are home, SO I'll ring
of and serve dinner. Helen says that
Supt. fuckers wife and baby are here
and they have rented one Of the Tailor
Brown houses.
She says Maud Myers is home from
her trip to Missouri and has entered
the eighth grade.
Well, this is all for this time.
