COLO CONTRIBUTIONS.

One of our most estimable citizens, James Thurston, died at his home here last Saturday evening, of fatty degeneration of he heart.

Mr. Thurston was in his sixty-seventh year. He leaves a wife and three daughters and hosts of friends to mourn his loss. The funeral was held Monday in the M. E. church, Rev. John Elliott officiating. The family have the sympathy of the entire community in this, their sad hour of affliction.
