DID YOU EVER | STOP TQ THINK I ! . ’•*: - That during the hot summer months it is but natural that many minds will | -turn towards entiling, happy, pros perous, progressive, cool Colorado. I That Colorado is a smiling state because when Nature created Colorado she did it with a smile and lavished gifts with liberal hands and made Col orado not only a summer paradise, but a good state in which to live, work and prosper. * N That Colorado is inviting and a£ tractive. There you can enjoy your summer months in golf, water sports, fishing, or in any way that will fit your wishes and pocketbook. That this leads up to the fact that I was in Chicago recently. While there I heard of a new Colorado ser vice that had been put into effect by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa cific Railroad. As that road hae the reputation of always keeping ahead in the business of serving the people best, I rambled over the in terviewed L. M. Allen, vice president and general passenger traffic man ager. I found one service they have that is so new and so interesting that I though I would pas* it on. That the Rock Island lines have go-as-you-please and personally’con ducted tours to Colorado. The go-as you-please plan is a wonder. Two weeks tours when you get your ticket you can have coupons attached to it that will cover the whole tour — meals, rooms and automobile trips. The railroad will attend to all reser vations for you. You know what it will .cost before you start. You haven’t a thing to worry about. All you have to do is to enjoy yourself. On your trip you visit the leading cities and resorts and have lonv rides through the mountains and ydu have plenty of lime to play as well as to see. If you plan a trip to cool Colorado on your vacation, it would be well to consider the go-as-you-please tours of the Rock Island Lines. Railroads serve the people—the peo ple don’t serve the railroads. When a railroad serves the people so well in as many ways as the Rock Island Lines, it ie entitled to special at tention and consideration. Mrs. Eflrd Dissents To Will Os Hus band. Stauly-News Herald. Mrs. Bertie Skaggs Kfird, widow of the late Johii S. Efird/Albemarle millionaire cotton manufacturer, has dissented to the will of liei* late hus band, having come before the clerk of the superior court through her attorney Janies J £t: f?ou, and filed her notice of dissobG-as prescribed by law. This action came' not as a sur prise, as it lm»7 generally been ex pected since the lawsuit to break the will started, that she would dissent, thereby freeing her from all the regu tytifys provided in the will. Her difcshnt to the will means that she will take her part and interest in the bsfatfc of her late husband just | as though there had been no will at I all. It is a right which the law grants ) to every widow whose husband sees fit to make a will. She can either take under the will, or, if she ehopses to do so, she erf’ll dissent and let the law take its course as to her. Mjrs. Efird’s friends are not. ,only. not surprised that she has filed h er dissent, but mauy of them feel that she has done the wise thing, she has thereby avoided all criticism and misunderstandings ; vthich would no doubt, have arisen hail .she taken under the terms of the ‘wftL , - wfig' . ■-- Miss Annie Cannon returned Mon day from Wilson, where ihe .visited Miss Marie Anderson.
