MAYERsvILLR, Pecos Co July Is, 1882.
To the Edito, of The EVENING LIGHT:
As the crowd have all gone to sleep after a
nights jubilee, thought would write you a
few notes Of this young but prosperous city.
This place is very little over two months old.
We have deputy sheriff and posse of ran
gers here for the purpose of keeping every
thing quiet, which is very necessary.
The city has seven whiskey saloons, three
cider saloons, one ice lemonade stand, one
drug store, six restaurants, one dry goods and
grocery store, one laundry, one doctor, one
LAWYER, two faro bank dealers, one red and
black dealer, two wheel Of fortune dealers, $50
monte dealers and fakirs, too numerous to
mention. l came very near overlooking the
tin horn boys, four chuck luck games.
The city at present is a little dull, only a
horse race this morning no fights since yes
terday evening; most Of our fighting men are
waiting for pay day, so they can bowl
up and have regular set 'o's. Pay
day is on the thirteenth of this month.
Great expectations are app ehended by
the sporting fraternity and those that are here
for the money, those that are here tor their
health don't pay much attention to pay
days. Whenever any Of the Country boys
come to the city and get too much ta1ngle'
foot aboard and shoots Of their little short forty
FIVE, our deputy sheriff rounds them up, and
the boys get chained up and forfeit their short
forty-fve. All fist fights are Legitimate, as
long as they are fought to the rules OF the
ring. no biting or kicking allowed.
It's fifteen miles to Eagles Nest, which is
the place expected for the roads to meet.
Business is looming up lively at the Nest. As
there is plenty of spring water there 1t Is
thought by the knowing. ones that Eagle
bought by some of the railroad officials:
The general conversation is the killing oil
lack Harri. by Ben Thompson. This morn
ing is the first time we have had paper
since the killing. Our mail facilities are bad
it is sometimes two weeks getting an answer
to letter from San Antonio. r. l..

miles by steamer on the most beautiful

not be obtained every day; and when it
is remembered that the scenery is not
surpassed in the world, that the accom-
modations are of the highest standard
and the entire conduct of the excur-
sions under the immediate supervision
of the Passenger Department of the
Pennsylvania railroad, it will be real
lied that these Stockton trips are not
surpassed. Another advantage is that
the entire trip is made within the limit

TDa Fourtn and Drunr ennesa.

One of the most unpleasant things
which greeted our sight on the Fourth
of July was the large number Of intoxt'
Gated people to be met with ct every
corner and in every thoroughfare, and
the most unpleasant part Of the sight
was that the greater part of theintox-
icated crowd were boys ranging in age
from twelve 10 twenty years. Such
sights give very discouraging forecasts
of the future. If boys commence so
early to learn habits Of intoxication,
what will they be when they become
men? Stringent laws are passed which
prohibit selling liquor to minors, but
they seems to have EuE little effect for
good, as liquor deSlers sell to boys with
total disregard Of the law. We have
never been surprised however that
liquor sellers should have perfect
contempt of the law which prescribes
the very day upon which they could
lawfully commence selling intoxicating
liquors to miners. It has always been
to us one of the funny inconsistencies
of the law, that IL is unlawful for a
liquor vender to sell intoxicating
liquors 10 young man who Is under
twenty-one years Of age, and yet on the
very day he attains his majority 1T is
lawful to sell Il. him until he becomes
as drunk as fool. However this thing
of boys getting drunk is a serious
question, and as the vice is increasing
it should arouse question of inquiry
as to what should be done to cheek the
evil. Naturally people inquire where
Bailiff Brady is, who has the enforce
ment Of the law against selling liquor
to minors, selling on Sunday and sell
ing without license in his keeping
1t is not often the lot of the journalist
to record the arrest of illegal liquor
sellers, and legal liquor sellers who al
most daily violate the laws with i'm
punity. Is it possible that our streets
must be filled with drunken youths and J
nobody can find out who sold them the
liquor? Bailiff Brady has the name of
being keen detective, but it seems
hat he either cannot, or will not find
nut who these willful and open viola
ors Of the law are. He is paid three
dollars a day for his services. He sure
y ought to do something for that much
money. If the present liquor laws can.
lot be reasonably enforced let the pub
ic know that fact. There is no use in
having what are called stringent Ii.
luor laws and yet drunkenness especial.
y amongst the young is increasing to
IN alarming extent. This state of affairs
makes the liquor laws nothing more
han farce. This is the time for re-
lection.

THE RAIN WHICH set in yesterday q
little before noon, had dampening eff
feet upon the festivities of the great
National Holiday, but the benefit it was
to corn, potatoes and smaller vegetable
crops, more than compensates for the
interruption of the days enjoyment. If
we had had our way we would have
kept back the rain some ten hours more,
but we had no control of the weather
and had to take it as it came. Balauc.
ing the lack of pleasure for the day
with the benefit to the crops, however,
it must be admitted that the crops have
the heavy side of the scales.

GENERALLY speaking the Fourth
passed off quietly there being no very
serious accidents nor fatal quarrels.
There was considerable of rowdyism 1t
is true and rather an increase of drum
kenness, but owing to the cool refresh
ing showers or some other cause the
usual Fourth of July saturnalia was
not reached.
