PAINTER Editor & Publisher 15 Aug 1890, Friday, Vol. IV - No. 1 Page One LOCAL LORE It is our purpose to note the arrival and departure of all guests to our city, and request those who have visitors to inform us of the fact. Local news items are always thankfully received. J.F. Kenyon of McCook was in Holyoke Sunday. A.J. Baker was in Denver this week on business. L. Tinkle is in Central City, Nebraska this week on business. Miss M.V. Woods has gone east on a visit for a few weeks. Mrs. Gaddy returned yesterday from her visit with friends in Iowa. Misses Grace and Emma Whitham are visiting at Imperial, Nebraska this week. Ed Raymond has been working at the cases in the HERALD office this week. The ladies of the M.E. Church gave an ice cream social Tuesday evening of this week. Mr. and Mrs. B. Hoskins left Holyoke last Saturday for their home at Ayre, Nebraska. Miss Carrie Dakan has returned form Curtis, Nebraska where she has been visiting for some time. Bob Ewalt has been on the sick list this week, threatened with fever, but is better and will be able to sling type again in a few days. George Riddle has been given an engine on the Alliance branch. The B. & M. boys of Holyoke are receiving merited promotions. We see from the Denver papers that Judge Glynn represented the Phillips County News in the meeting of democratic editors at Denver. Rev. H.B. Cook and family left Holyoke Thursday for their new home at Longmont. The best wishes of a large circle of friends follow them. L.E. Diedel and family left this week for Gothenburg, Nebraska where he will engage in the dairy business. C. C. Bevard will succeed him in the business here. The farmers are threshing their wheat and the Holyoke elevator will soon have business which it is now prepared for. Superintendent E.F. Highland and family took the train the first of the week for a pleasure trip to Salt Lake City and other places of interest in the west. M.K. Lewis, of Hastings, Nebraska, brother to L.P. Lewis our coroner, stopped off a few days, to visit relatives here, on his way to the Pacific Coast for a pleasure trip. In the case of Camp charged with removing mortgaged property from the county without permission from the mortgage, tried before Justice B.F. Moore, the defendant was released. Prof. Gray was unable to fill his appointment to lecture before the Phillips County Institute, on account of unexpected delay in arriving at Greeley, caused by the burning of his residence. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* "To the victors belong the spoils," seems to be the motto of some of our democratic officials, and the legal notices must be published in the democratic organ, regardless of the wishes of litigants. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Dr. Gibson delivered a lecture, on care of the teeth and dentistry, before the Teachers Institute last Thursday, which was both interesting and instructive to all who heard it. He is well informed on dentistry. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We are sorry to learn that Holyoke is soon to lose Ben Marvin. He goes to Alliance to take a position in the dispatcher's office. Ben has a large circle of warm personal friends in Holyoke and he and Mrs. Marvin will be greatly missed in social circles. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The Teacher's Association, in session this week, has a good attendance of teachers. Prof. P.M. Condit is giving general satisfaction as an instructor and this session of the Association will result in much benefit to the teachers in attendance. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The most of the County has been favored with good showers of rain lately, which will help make some corn. In some parts of the county the ground is in fine condition for plowing and there will be a good chance for sowing fall grain this fall which should be improved. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The News and the Tribune are devoting considerable space to the discussion of the policy of imposing a tax of $200 on the county to aid in advertising the state. That question has been passed upon by the county commissioners and no such an appropriation of course will be made. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* There will be an old-fashioned spelling school at the school house on the evening of the 15th of August under the management of the Teacher's Association. A copy of Webster's unabridged dictionary will be the prize presented to the best speller. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* W.C. Robinson chairman of the senatorial committee and E.E. Brannon committeeman from this county attended the meeting of the committee at Fort Morgan. The apportionment of the delegates, as given in the call for the convention, will, we believe, give general satisfaction to the republicans of the county. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Dr. Gibson informs us that he will leave Holyoke next Monday for Sterling, Colorado and will spend several weeks there, looking after the dear people's teeth. Dr. Gibson, in his practice of dentistry in Holyoke, had given good satisfaction and we can recommend him to the people of Sterling as doing first class work. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* John Strawn met with a very serious accident last Thursday while driving a team hitched to a lumber wagon. The team took fright and started to run upsetting the wagon, which fell on him. He was dragged about one hundred feet after the wagon upset. His right arm was badly mashed and will be permanently stiff. His face was fearfully cut as it is supposed, by the wagon bed falling on him. He is being well cared for and, if not injured internally, it is thought he will recover from his injuries. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* I.O.O.F. Resolutions. Hall of Holyoke Lodge No. 76. Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to call from her earthly home, the beloved sister of our worthy brother B.A. Hoskins, and knowing how great the loss must be to him, therefore be it, Resolved that we the officers and members of Holyoke Lodge No. 76 I.O.O.F. do hereby express our sincere sorrow for and sympathy with our bereaved brother in his great affliction and be it, Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to our bereaved brother and a copy to each of the city papers for publication. - J.M. Cullis, C.B. Timberlake, B.F. Moore, Committee *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The Teachers Institute which has been in session here for the last two weeks under the management of our superintendent C.B. Timberlake with Prof. P.M. Condit of Delta, Colorado, T.J. Close, S.G. Daley, H.W. Barr and Mrs. M.E. Timberlake as instructors has certainly been a most gratifying success in every particular. The attendance has been good, the number enrolled being 38, and the interest shown by the teachers speaks well for the success of the schools of the county. The teachers in attendance speak in the highest terms of the manner in which the Institute has been conducted and the thoroughness of the instruction given and the success attained is certainly a credit to all who have taken part in the work. Prof. Condit, in his short stay in our town, has made many warm personal friends among the people of the town, who will always be glad to welcome him on his return to Holyoke. BEACHVILLE Fine rains in this vicinity the past week. Albert Young of Holyoke was in this vicinity last Wednesday. Dr. Smith and R.E. Webster were in this vicinity last Sunday. Several cases of sickness reported in this vicinity the past week. Eureka Alliance will have a picnic the 27th inst. All are invited to come, and bring well filled baskets and spend a pleasant day with us. C.M. Mowery is preparing to build an addition to his house. Several of our people were in attendance at the Brummer vs Brown contest case last Saturday. There will be a special meeting of the Eureka Alliance this Wednesday evening to consider reports of committee on picnic and other important business that may come before it. C.M. Mowery and family were the guests of John Green and family last Sunday. Newell Porter was down in Yuma County last Monday. William Heller was assisting Mr. Blakley, southeast of this place in fixing his well. Jake Kirth of Holyoke was in this vicinity last Tuesday. Ask Oscar Troutman for his experience in weaning a calf. It's good. - OLD MISERY Page Four The census returns are all in for the state and the population of Colorado is 410,809. The state shows a rapid growth in population during the last twenty years. In 1870, the population of the state was 47,164, in 1880, 195234, and in 1885, 243,910, showing an increase, in the last ten years, of 215,575, and, in the last five years, 166,899. This is certainly a rapid growth for a state that, until within a few years, has not been counted as one of the agricultural states. But, with the present prospect, it is safe to predict much more rapid growth for the next ten years than in the last ten. It is interesting to note the rapid growth of north- eastern Colorado. In 1880, Weld County which then comprised the present territory of Weld, Logan, Morgan, Yuma, Washington, Sedgwick and Phillips counties, had 5,003 inhabitants. The same territory now has 25,278. This is certainly a gratifying showing for north-eastern Colorado. ================================================================= All files are contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archives Project (http://www.usgwarchives.net/).
