Painter, Editor and Publisher 28 Feb 1908, Friday, Vol. 21 - No. 31 Page Four Ad - Attention Farmers! I have recently placed in my shop a Skows Rotary Disc Sharpener. This machine sharpens by rolling instead of grinding and a disc so sharpened will do better work and keep sharp longer than one sharpened in any other manner.

OBITUARY Effie Hageman, nee Ellis, was born on December 3, 1876, at Fairbanks, Iowa and died at her home in Phillips County, Colorado on February 21, 1908. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emmons Ellis of Holyoke. The family moved from Iowa to Rooks County, Kansas in 1887 and from there to Phillips County, Colorado in 1890. On the 16th day of March 1904, she was married to Ernest Hageman who, with two little boys, Clarence and Carl, born to them, survive her. She was sick with brain fever for a little over two weeks. The funeral services were conducted from the home, Rev. J.T. Jenkins of Holyoke preaching the sermon and the body was laid in the Holyoke cemetery. She was highly thought of by all who knew her and many friends deeply sympathize with the family in their sorrow. A party consisting of Elder and Mrs. Jenkins, daughter and Miss Long of Holyoke, Mr. and Mrs. Gillis, Mrs. and Mrs. Borland and son, Mr. and Mrs. S.S. Worley, Mr. and Mrs. Behnfeld, and little daughter, Mr. and M- no, just E.E.T. Hazen without the Mrs., Mr. and Mrs. H. Mitchell, and F.D. Vanmeter assembled with one accord at one place; that place being the domicile of A.C. Cauble, on the 21, instant; the object being to surprise “Grandma” Mitchell, mother of Mrs. A.C. Cauble and our commissioner, H. Mitchell, and to celebrate the 73d anniversary of her natal day. While in the midst of a highly interesting social enjoyment in which sense was spiced with an occasion grain of wit and nonsense the guests were suddenly bro’t to a realization of the fact that a change of program was to take place, by dinner being announced. Repairing to the dining room a table, bountifully spread with substantials and delicacies to such an extent that one could almost imagine it groaning under the burden it was bearing up. Examining the table “limbs” and seeing no signs of tremor in them, indicating danger of collapse, it was at once surrounded by the party who at once proceeded to do ample justice to the goodly viands before them. Had an observer, after viewing the contents of the table, left the room for a few moments and returned, he, no doubt, would have written you a column under the caption Mysterious Disappearance. After dinner a regular concert of vocal and instrumental music was given and some fine selections were well rendered. After singing one piece a gentleman pointing to his third vest button from the bottom exclaimed: Whew! I can’t get down any further than here. S.S. Worley having hitched his team to his buggy preparatory to starting to Mr. Cauble’s stepped into the house when his horses concluded to go on a little private excursion of their own. So intent were they on a good time that they heed not, wire grates, wire fences, nor corner posts, but swept them down like cobwebs. The horses were uninjured, but the buggy is in the hospital awaiting surgical action. But S.S. is not discouraged by small things like that. He captured his team, attached to his farm wagon and then made better schedule time than the B. & M. An enjoyable time was had by all and at a late hour in the a.m., bidding “Grandma” goodby and wishing her many happy returns of “the event” the guests departed feeling that to them, this had been a Red Letter day. --A Participant. Gordon & Benson is a new Haxtun business firm. They will occupy the ground floor of the Woodman building with a general stock of merchandise. Page Five A CARD I take this opportunity to heartily thank the many friends and neighbors who so thoughtfully and kindly assisted during the last sickness and the funeral services of my dear wife. - Ernest Hageman A SOCIAL EVENING A most enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.L. Lane Saturday, February 16, 1908. A few of their friends and neighbors having happened in the evening was spent listening to phonograph music and social conversation. Dainty refreshments were served and the guests departed late wishing for many more such evenings and thanking Mr. and Mrs. Lane for having entertained them so royally. -- A Guest NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION Land Office at Sterling, Colorado, Feb 25, 1908 Notice is hereby given that Everette A.
