Colorado Letter.
Julesburg, Colo., Feb. 5. -Editor
Fulton . County News:
Since date of my letter to you
some time ago I have had so many
inquiiies from Fulton County
people regarding our country
here that I have taken this way
of answering them. Things have
sure been happening out in this
neck o the woods. We have a
very substantial boom started.
We are sure of a sugar factory
and are about to start drilling for
oil. They are about ready to
break ground for a farmers' ele
vator, and an alfalfa mill and
flour mill is on the way. Ourta
ble land farmers have about com
pleted the marketing of their im
mense crop of wheat and other
crops, and they are now over
hauling and oiling up the plows,
discs, and drills, and getting
ready for the spring drive. Are
they prosperous? Just stand on
one of the Julesburg street cor
ners on a Saturday afternoon and
watch the boys come to town.
You will notice a Buick Six. drive
up in front of a grocery and be
gin to unload; first the family,
then the produce-'-butter, eggs,
cream, etc. Or possibly an auto
truck with 60 or 80 bus. of corn
or wheat pull up to the elevator.
II the auto has any bearing on
the prosperous condition of the
country, then we sure are pros
perous, for practically every farm
er has a car. How did he get it,
mortgage his farm? No indeed
he paid the hard cash derived
from the proceeds of that bin of
wheat or crib or corn or load of
hogs.
Our farmers are quick to rea
lize the vast importance of the
medium sized tractor for farm
work and they are gradually re
placing the four legged boy for
the steel one.
mere is a tnousand-and one
things I could say in this letter
that is true of our country but
don e reel like asking for any
more space in your paper so will
call this good for this time.

On Duty Again.
The high wind accompanying
the cyclonic blizzard that visited
McConnellsburglastSundayeven
ing a week, caused the faithfu
old town clock to "Blip a cog'
and from that time until last
Monday evening the residents o
McConnellsburg were getting up
in the morning just whenever it
suited them, meals were late or
early, just as it suited the cook
and last Sunday a whole lot o
people did not get to Sunday
school and church at all. Mon
day afternoon, through the di
rection of County Commissioner
Nesbi t Orm Greathead and Christ
Shimer went after the trouble,
and in a few hours, these me
chanical wizards had the old clock
tolling off the hours with the
same regularity as of yore and
everybody was happy. When it
is considered that the Clock has
been on duty up in the tower of
the Court House for sixty-five
years, with very little cost for
repairs during the last twenty
five years, during which time it
has been under the care of M. F.
Doyle, the fact that it shows
signs of weariness once in a while,
is not to be wondered at
They Amount to Nothing.
Some people seem to be oblig
ed to talk mean of others. That
seems to be their only subject of
interest on which to spend an
hour in neighborly conversation.
Soon you will hear what they
said and naturally you get as mad
as a hornet unless you are an
angel. Since that is seldom the
case, we would advise you to be
wise and cool off. Remember
that gossipers, fault-finders, low
bred, ignorant critics, and those
who can tell other people how to
run their business, when they
themselves could not run awheel
barrow successfully, have very
ittle judgment and common
sense and will never amount to
anything.
