THE GREELEY DISTRICT
J.B. McGara, formerly of near Chambersville, now of Greeley, Colo., sent us a booklet entitled "The Greeley District-The Garden Spot of the West" This book is issued by the Commercial club of Greeley, Colorado, and gives facts and figures and photo engravings of what can be and what is done in the way of farming at Greeley.
Greeley is the county seat of Weld county, has a population of 6,000, fine churches, the State Normal school and many other advantages.
The town never had and never will have a saloon, because the title deeds to the lands prohibit the sale or giving away of intoxicants, and the Greeley idea has dominated in nearly every town in Weld county.
Mrs. McGara's sisters, Mrs. James Speedy and Mrs. Renie S. Thompson, with their cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Milligan Shields of E.E. Pittsburg, will leave August 30 for Greeley.

GOOD TIMES AT GREELEY, COL.
The Weld County Republican, published at Greeley, Col., has reached our desk and we find it contains an account of unusual family gathering of three generations held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dwight Neil.
Mrs. Neil, the charming hostess, is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chris. Rugh, formerly of this county, and among the guests we notice Mrs. John Truby, a sister of Chris. Rugh, a former resident of Indiana, with her husband, her son in law, J.M. Cameron, and wife, Olive Truby and their seven children; also, Mr. and Mrs. T.C. Ramey, nee Rugh, and son, Mal, all former residents of Indiana but now residents of Fort Collins, Col.
Mr. Ramey was recently re elected treasurer at Fort Collins, as was also James McCreery, formerly of East Mahoning, sheriff, and John Ryckman, of Marion Center, deputy sheriff, all of which proves how highly Indiana county persons stand in the estimation of the people of their adopted Colorado home.

Fisher, Mrs. Frank R. Weathers, of Huntington, W. Va., Mrs. E.A. Sawyer, Mrs. G.H. Grinnell, and Mrs. Shephard.
