O. f Bits by the Editor Editor Rawalt, of the Paonia News paper, most woefully relates that “it brings tears to his eyes” to notice the process of evolution of young men and of our humble self in particular when he sees "a patriot turn into a republi can editor”. The dear, considerate fellow. We have known Charles for some little time Never really thought, though, that his feelings would cause him to express himself in such an actu ally depressing mood. Wonder if he really is so dejected about it aIL Sorry, because we are in the habit of doing and saying just about the way we feel and we may be induced or moved to make other remarks that will simply turn him blue inside and out if such a little thing as did happen is to work such havoc. By the way. Hr. News paper man, turn over the page and read how much the PAONIA mSTBICT received from last year’s road appro priation. Don’t you feel just a little bit ashamed that The Booster has led yon so far from the right path? Aren’t your "doubts” about getting your share of the toed rather glimmering ones?

WILCB S Davio. CALLED TO REST. Mrs. Rose Bragg, nee SUndisli, Passes into the Great Beyand. Services Thursday. One of the saddest deaths in recent months was that of Mrs. C. W. Bragg of Olathe, occurring Monday evening, January 29th at 6P. M. The cause of death was an affection of the periton eum. The funeral was held from the home of Mrs. Standish, near Delta on Thursday afternoon at 1:30 the Rev erend H. J. Frothingham conducting the services. Interrment took place in Delta Cemetery. On December 23 laat the deceased was married to C. W. Bragg, a well known ranehman of Olathe. She was well known and very popular among the younger set in this section, attend ing school at Delta during her younger days. She was a few days over twenty years of age and doubly sad is the pass ing inasmuch as the young couple had but started on what promised to be a happy and prosperous journey through life. The funeral was very largely at tended, her many friends showing the appreciation in which she was held by them. And once again the Reaper’s work is done. CEMENT WAUU. Inclination seems to point that the property owners on the west side of Main Street between Fourth and Fifth will soon have a cement sidewalk aloof their respective places of business. Nearly all the property owners have consented to this move and probably as soon as the weather permits operations will be commenced. This is only a starter for what must come aloof Main Street from Third to Fifth. The pres ent conditions of the sidewalks are a fright. They detract from food im pressions of the town, they are danger ous in many places and they are as old fashioned as horse street cars. It is to be hoped that the rumor above is carried out to a reality and that the move will spur those in other blocks to fall into line. With so many new blocks to be erected it seems a pity that the old board sidewafcs must be tolerated! 'll is like wearing a dress suit and a pair of brogans. Hooligan's Troubles. The plot of “Hooligan’s Troubles,’’ the musical farce comedy which ap pears at the Opera House next Mon day evening was constructed, according to Mark E. Swan, its author, for strict ly laughing purposes. An elderly spiv iter decides that her niece shall not many until she herself is wed. A plot ting guardian who wishes to secure the young girl’s money, has “Happy Hool igan” disguise himself as an English nobleman and “Happy wins the spinst er. Then the guardian learns the aunt has a larger fortune but Hooligan has made the most of his opportunity. Hooligan, however, loses his clothes in a bath house at the sea shore and the guardian exposes the tramp. The cur tain goes down with everyone happy except Hooligan who finds a barrel tye the latest thing in wearing apparel. During the action of the piece spec ialties are introduced by the Three Gilden Sisters, Miss Grace Aylesworth, Unicycle Rosey, Walter Mack, Maho ney Bros., and others. ... ♦ - -- NMAZINE SECTWN. This week The Independent adds a four page magazine supplement. No tice that it contains a number of fine illustrations, several good head articles and a good story. The Independent is slowly but surely wedging its way to the front and will soon be giving its readers the very best that time and money can supply. Ten pages this week. Soon to be twelve. Can yon beat that and all for 12.00 per year. Remember—“All the News Always.” K.WMNM. At the next regular meeting of the local lodge of the K. of P. there Is to bo special work in the third degree and all Knights in the city that day are most cordially requested to be present. Any who can plan to be here are also in vited to do so. Several Knights from Paonia are expected doom. Tuesday, February <th is the date. Best work and cheapest prices at Lynch’s gallery. 60-61 Bits and Bridles. One thing about the Delta marshalls —they have their Price. Fix the drain on the water trough in front of The Independent Lumber Com pany. Some cow-puncher will ride into a “bunch” of mud some day and be obliged to “night herd” all the evening. This outfit washed the windows of its office the other day and compositors and editors have been obliged to wear green goggles ever since. Oh! this Colorado sunshine is a fright. Somebody mistook Ault for Welch the other day. But then druggists and attorneys do “mix” a good deal and the mistake is easily explained. A certain Delta young man traveled to Hotchkiss the other day, returning with his suit case allright but could not find the contents when he reached home. Terror seized his heart when he thought of explaining to his wife, but Fortune smiled—he had put them in the telescope apartment. Probably his vision was inclined to be telescopic and he naturally threw his belongings into that part of the case. With so many Western Slope men in Denver this week one may expect all sorts of tales when they return. Jar man and Herrick left arm in arm and it is to be hoped their return will be as friendly and as circumspect. While the Business Hen’s association is engaged in a legitimate work—inter esting probable homeseekers—there is one class of population that is already in a majority and that is dog. “Dogs to the left of us and dogs to the right of us” as one walks down the main thoroughfares. Now while there are many good, kind and well behaved dogs there are also many mean, ugly, ill tempered dogs, and it is the latter that are in evidence. But then, there's the dog tax and it’s a source of revenue, so one mustn't howl even if the dogs do. The regular meeting of the Every- Aftemoon-Gossip-Club was held every day this week. Eighteen presidents and forty-two recording secretaries were elected. Mrs. Grimes reported that Hrs. Windy had walked down the street with Mrs. Smile-twice and the matter needed prompt and efficient at tention and publicity. Referred to Committee on Butt-In’s for disposal. Hrs. C. Everything noticed a light in one of Hr. Roll H. High’s windows quite late the other evening, and she really believed that there must have been a poker game in operation or else why would there have been a light there so late? Referred to Committee on Town Affairs with instructions to re port the matter to the night marshall. Hrs. Eve Dropper had heard that Hrs. Knows Around had told Hrs. D. Wise that her husband had a!moat come home drunk the other evening, but didn't quite. And the reason she knew it must be so, was that her little boy had found a beer bottle in the alley the day before and it was right back of Hr. Knows Around’s house. Why, of course he must have been nearly drunk. Referred to Publicity Committee with instruc tions to report that he WAS drunk for he just as well might have been, and it was nobody’s fault but his own if he wasn't. A matter laid over from last week’s meeting was to have been brought up. It concerned a conversa tion between Hiss Rids Horsey back and Mr. Spur Warer. But the Committee on Investigation of Delicate Hatters had been unable to ascertain for sure whether it was HISS Spur Warer or MR. Spur Warer that had bean the oth er party to the conversation and asked for more time. They wars reprimanded by the Moat High and Respected Topic Gatherer and informed that their duties were to find out something and If noth ing could rsally be found to report any thing. Adjourned to meet again at call of any or all members. Under the “Good of the Gaiw” was discussed the apparent lack of reran ass In matters laeal and admonition to members was to the effect that a little more “stirr ing” would have to be done or the asso ciation would be obliged to disband, and wouldn't that be Just terrible. 10 Acma Ranch ros Sals I With good house and stables, 4 miles shove Mbs on Gunnison river. is our stock of meat products.
