NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 13 Jun 1890, Vol. III - No. 44 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1890/90jun13.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin 16 Jan 2005 ==================================================================== STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado J.H. PAINTER Editor & Publisher 13 Jun 1890, Friday, Vol. III - No. 44 Page One LOCAL LORE Mrs. Lee Witherbee is visiting in Denver. Witherbee Brothers offer their large stock ranch for sale. Did you see the "owl Club" in Sunday's Denver News. Patronize the merchant who advertises, if you want to buy goods cheap. Rev. W.D. Page of Curtis, Nebraska, spent a few days in Holyoke this week. I. Smith, of Denver, of the lumber firm of I. Smith Son & Co, was in Holyoke on business this week. J.F. McClung, B & M. agent at Cheyenne, was shaking hands with his many friends in Holyoke Saturday. Mr. Benham has resigned his position as manager of the Atlas Lumber Yard and J.M. Cullis takes his place. Mrs. W.D. Kelsey has been called to her old home at Cedarville, Illinois, by the dangerous illness of her father who is suffering with dropsy. Prof. W.F. Bybee made Holyoke a visit the first of the week. He informs us that he will spend his summer vacation in Nebraska and Kansas. Mr. T.E. Chingan, of Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, arrived in Holyoke last week, having been called here by the last illness of his daughter, Mrs. S.W. Beggs. G.R. Ellis has taken possession of the furniture in the Gordon House under a chattel mortgage, given to A.E. Webb, and will sell the same at public sale, June 14th. E.E. Brannon, our new Postmaster, has rearranged the office room, having it painted and repaired which very materially adds to its neatness of appearance. Mr. Brannon seems to be taking great interest in the work of the office and evidently means to see to it that the office is managed in a satisfactory manner. A very interesting Teacher's Institute was held in Holyoke last Saturday. Among other questions of interest discussed at the meeting, was the necessity of a uniform series of school text books in the state. This is certainly a question that should have the attention of our educators, as the lack of such uniformity is a great hindrance to the success of our schools. At the caucus, held in Holyoke last Saturday for the election of a republican central committeeman for this precinct, S.S. Worley was elected without any opposition. Mr. Worley is an active, energetic, straight republican and will do good work for the party. Now let the republicans stop fighting and prepare a sweeping victory for the coming election in the county. Our new fire bell has come and the fire boys are happy. The bell is being hung on the tower in the rear of hose house. The bell weighs 700 pounds and is a fine one, costing $160. This money, with the exception of $75 donated by the city, was raised by the fire company and the boys deserve great credit for the enterprise they have shown in this matter and should have the hearty support of the citizens in all their undertakings. HOLYOKE WILL CELEBRATE At a meeting held in the council room Saturday night, under the directions of the fire boys, it was decided to celebrate on the Fourth of July. The following committees were named. Executive committee: F.M. Smith, G.R. Ellis, W.E. Johnson, G.W. Garland and C.E. McPherson. Committee on grounds: A.W. Young, Whitney Irwin and J.N. Osborn. Music committee: Messrs. Garland and Webster, Mrs. Hines and Clark and Miss Whitham. Invitation committee: C.B. Timberlake, Judge Glynn and J.H. Painter. Finances committee: Messrs. Porter, Weaver and Gillett. Another meeting will be held tomorrow evening to perfect arrangements and it is hoped that every one interested in having a good celebration will be present at the meeting. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We often hear persons complaining about Sunday being such a dull day for them in Holyoke, that they do not know how to pass the time. We have two churches in Holyoke where services are held every Sunday. At the M.E. church, Rev. Cook preaches morning and evening and Sunday school immediately follows the morning service. At the Christian church in West Holyoke, Sunday school services are held every Sunday at 4 p.m. central time and arrangements are being made for regular preaching service. There is plenty of room and good accommodations in these churches for all who will attend and, if every one in town would make it a point to attend upon these services regularly they would be greatly profited thereby and, whether religiously inclined or not, would soon come to feel that Sunday in Holyoke is a day to be looked forward to with pleasure and satisfaction. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Children's Day was observed at the M.E. church last Sunday Rev. Cook preaching a sermon to the children in the morning, subject, "A basket of good figs." The audience room was nicely decorated with flowers and the presence of several canary birds formed a novel feature of the surroundings. The evening exercises were furnished by the members of the Sunday school consisting of songs and recitations. Mrs. Cook rendered a very excellent selection in a most entertaining and feeling manner. The exercises by the children and Young folks of the school were both highly interesting and instructive. To Rev. Cook and wife and a few of the ladies, is due all the credit for selecting the program and drilling the young folks. The church was crowded full, many standing during the exercises and, judging by the interest shown, the audience left the building feeling that they had spent there a pleasant and profitable hour. CLOSING EXERCISES OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS Last Friday afternoon we had the pleasure of attending the closing exercises of our public schools at the school building. The audience room was crowded with the patrons of the school, so much so, that quite a number were forced to stand. The exercises consisted of songs, recitations and dialogues which proved so entertaining as to hold the undivided attention of the audience throughout. From the length of the program and lack of space, we cannot mention the part taken by each pupil, as we would enjoy doing. The different dialogues, in which the Misses Effie Daggy, Mary Saxton, Emma Tipton, Grace Whitham, Sallie Oliver, Belle Adair and Cleo Kidd, Messrs. Charley Temple, Tommy Moore, Harry Lee and Fred Tinkle took part, were certainly well rendered and showed considerable practice and a good understanding of their several parts. The smaller pupils did fully as well considering their age. We certainly have great reason to be proud of our public schools. We doubt if there is another town in Colorado, no older than Holyoke, whose schools will compare with ours. With our excellent corps of teachers, Prof. S.G. Duley, Mrs. C.B. Timberlake and Miss Beggs, the pupils have made rapid progress during the school year just passed and great credit is due our teachers for the success they have attained in the different departments, considering the fact that our school is comparatively new and consequently much more difficult to manage than an old school where every step in the years work is mapped out before entering upon the school year. We are glad to see the people take so much interest in school matters and we confidently look for rapid improvement along this line of work. BEACHVILLE Albert Young of east of town was a pleasant caller in this vicinity last Sunday. Ike Saylor was in Julesburg last Thursday. John Peter is working for Oscar Troutman. F. Sprague is preparing to fence in quite a tract of land for pasture. Several of our wells were undergoing repairs the past week. John Hageman was in Julesburg last Monday on business. Oscar Troutman wishes certain parties to know that his garden is not a public highway, since they have been using it as such. The republican party of Phillips County can justly be proud of the selection of S.S. Worley as one of the Central Committee from precinct 2. Smith will see that the ends are kept up and the interest of the people of this county are brought into line. Coyote chasing has gotten to be quite a sport in Beachville recently. But they cannot capture Mr. Coyote every time. Frank Burkhalter, our "professional" plasterer, is slinging "mud" for Oscar Troutman this week. We understand that he will do a job for Capt. Mason soon. - OLD MISERY WAKEMAN NEWS Everybody is working corn at this writing. "O them golden slippers I laid them away for the wedding day" and so it has come at last. Married, on the 11th inst. Mr. Will Eaton to Miss Agnes Ballentine at the residence of A.L. Burdette, Rev. Cook officiating. The bride and groom have gone east on a bridal tour. May they live a long and happy life, is the wish of your correspondent. E.E. Worley was repairing H.W. Wakeman's well last Monday. Canda Ice has finished A.D. Simmons' timber claim. Ice is a rustler. Will Shepstall has been improving some by building a kitchen. Lew Norman spent Saturday and Sunday in Chase County, Nebraska, and reports crops looking well. O yes, by the way, that old prohibition McDonald is in this neighborhood taking what little sense we have. Come again Mack. P.B. Reynolds is in this vicinity assessing the people to the full extent of the law. E.W. Decator expects to go to York, Nebraska, soon. We hope Mr. D will return soon as he is a good fellow. The mail route from Wakeman to Holyoke will change hands the first of July and A.L. Burdette will retire from the business as he says there is no money in it. - TOM THUMB N.B. Woodruff and wife arrived in Holyoke this week. Mr. Woodruff is the owner of the Sawyer House property and informs us that he is refitting the house and will be ready to open it for the public about the 20th inst. OBITUARY Died, at Holyoke, June 10, 1890, at 7:30 p.m., Mrs. Maggie Gertrude Beggs wife of S.W. Beggs, of Holyoke. Mrs. Beggs was the daughter of Mr. T.E. Clingan, was born at Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania, March 8, 1867. She, early in life, made a profession of religion and united with the Presbyterian church. She lived a most earnestly devoted christian life and her life was, to all who knew her, an unanswerable argument in favor of the reality of the christian religion. It seems but a few days since Stewart Beggs brought from her home in Pennsylvania to his new home in Holyoke his amiable young bride. She soon made many warm friends and none knew her but to esteem her most highly. Seventeen short months to the very day, hour and minute from the time they were pronounced husband and wife she breathed her last. Another noble life gone out in its prime, another new home left broken and desolate. The young husband in his bereavement has the heartfelt sympathy of all who know him. The remains was conveyed to the old home at Sandy Lake, Pennsylvania. EATON - BALLENTINE Married, at the residence of A.L. Burdette, June 11, 1890 by Rev. H.B. Cook, William K. Eaton and Miss Agnes Ballentine, all of Holyoke, Colorado. GADDY - EATON Married, at Holyoke, June 11, 1890, by Rev. H.B. Cook, David A. Gaddy, of Holyoke, Colorado, and Miss Emma Eaton, of Albion, Iowa The contracting parties are all well known and stand high in the social circles of Holyoke. A host of friends offer congratulations and wish them many happy years of married life. Both couples took the night train for a wedding trip east. They will make Holyoke their future home.
