ladies' Society Tendered a Valentine's Party
Last Monday Night at the Park Home.
This is Tuesday morning and
tlie News man 1ms at least three
tilings to be glad about. The
first is that he married and has
a w ife. The second is that there
is a Ladies Hook Club in Canyon
City, and the third one is that his
wife is a member of that book
dub. If it had not been for the
entire combination it is likely
that lie would not have received
an invitation to attend the recep
tion given at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. I). A. Park last Mon
day evening by Mrs. Park and
Mrs. Sylvester L. Ingham, at
which time they entertained the
members of the book club to
gether with their husbands if
they had any.
The affair was given primarily
that the members of the club
might enjoy an evening of pleas
ure apart from their study of
classics and get better acquainted
on- with another and unless the
lady was a member of the club
or the man was was a brother-in-law
to it, no invitation was sent
him or her.
The home was beautifully doc
orated throughout, the decora
tions being in pink and white
with many hearts, the valentine
occasion being remembered
thereby. The floral decorations
were sweet peas.
The guets each had decora

The town of Umbarger to the
west of us in this county is on
the increase in a business way.
There is so much building going
on in that section of the country
that the Kockwell IJros. Lumbar
Company of Houston, which com
pany is interested in various
lumber yards in this section of
the state, has decided to put in a
lumber yard there. A large
number of cars of lumber are
already on the road and as soon
as they arrive carpenters will be
put to work to build the sheds
and office buildings. A large
stock of all kjnds of lumber and
building material is to be carried
in order to meet the demands of
the trade in that vicinity.
For a Gun Club.
Among the leading sportsmen
of this city this week there has
been discussed the idea of form
ing a gun club with a view of
increasing interest in sports of
that nature. Quite a number of
people who are not afraid of the
rear end of a firearm have signi
fied their willingness to become
members of such an organization
and it is likely that a permanent
organization will be made at an
early date.

Citzen South of City are Aggitating an Appli
cation for Mail Service in That Direction,
Since it seems an actual fact
that the people living west of
Canyon City are to have their
mail delivered at their doors by
the method of rural free delivery,
the people who live south of town
are beginning to aggitate the
establishing of a route in that
direction. Several citizens from
the southern portion of the coun
ty have been in this city this
week making inquiry as to the
requirements for a petition for
such a road and they will make
investigations to see if they
might be able to meet these re
quirements. If it appears that
they shall be able to do so they
will start a petition asking for a
rural free delivery route in that
direction.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy the Most Popular
Because it is the Best
Worn Out
That's the way you feel about
the lungs when you have a hack

let it go on and trust to luck to
get over it, when Ballard's Hore-

and heal the lungs. Price 25c,
70c and $1.00 per bottle. f"old by

We claim that if catching cold
could be avoided some of the
mt dangerous and fatal dis
eases would never be heard of.
A cold often forms a culture bed
for germs of infectious diseases.
Consumption, pneumonia, dip
theria, scarlet fever, four of the
most dangerous and fatal dis
eases, are of this class. The cul
ture bed formed by the cold fa
vors the development of the
germs of these diseases, that
would not otherwise find lodg
ment. There is little danger,
however of any of these diseases
being contracted when a good
expectorant cough medicine like
Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy is
used. It cleans out these cul
ture beds that favor the develop
ment of the germs of these dis
eases. 1 hat is why this remedy
has proved so universally suc
cessful in preventing pneumonia.
It not only cures jour cold
quickly, but minimizes the risk
of contracting these dangerous
diseases. For sale by the City
Pharmacy.
