Golden era. (Lincoln, N.M.) 1884-188?, 1885-09-03
TULARoSA CANON--August goth.

Some Of the good people who are
never tired Of asserting that New
Mexico is not All agricultural coun-
try, should come over and take a
look at our crops, and become con-
yinced of the stupidity OF their as
sertions.
Mr.. 4. H. Howe is descrvinsly
building up fine trade in this sec
tion of country. He keeps full
stock Of goods, sells at reasonable
rates, and is polite and attentive to
his customers. In short, he is Ches-
terGeld behind counter.
Frank Taylor, who is cultivating
y. NJ. Easton's ranch, has as fine
corn and frjoles as ever saw.
Frank is only one ''rusti--cns" out
of many; others have equally as good
crops; Mr.. Eastons garden is espcci-
allY wcrthv of mention, from the
careful manner in which il is kept,
anl the variety of vegetables that 1t
affords.
Andrew Wilson is finishing up
his house, and when the same is COM
pl9tpd will be one of the most COM
fortablv fixed men in Lincoln coun.
ty. He has begun to comb his hair,
wear clean shirt occasionally, and
is singing on style generally. In
fact, everything would be lovely
with him if he would only stop slip
ping over to that house by the big
gate.
| noticed in your columns some
time since that the enumerator had
no, taken the census of the South
Fork precinct because the enumera-
tor in Dona Ana county had done
so, and it seems to me most lame
excuse. This genial syndicate is
moving heaven and earth to get us
into the county Of Dona Ana, for
reasons, we can only surmise with
dread. Nons OF us for moment
credit the suspicion that our Lincoln
enumerator intends to be a party to
the acc, mplishment of the tort But
why did he acquiesce' so readily in
the nsurpation Of Dona Ana's repre-
sentative? Did the latter by force
Of superior logic, threats of personal
violence, or BY other causes persuade
our man that South Fork precinct
was not a unit of the integer, Lin
coin county? Tell us, Mr.. Enumer.
ator, have the census returns gone
in minus the South Fork precinct?
If so. it is an outrage that the peo-
pie here will be both slow to forgive
and forget.
Maj. Llewellvn retires from Office
October 10Th. 1t would be extreme
ly hvpocritiral for the settlers here
to pretend sorrow over his depart
ure. Upon tho induction Of the new
agent, the settlers will wait OH him
with statement OF their case and
asl; his cooperation, as an interested
party, in fighting this wator-rights
question. There is much specula-
tion in regard to the new agent. A
gentleman by the name of Boggs is
generally credited as being the man
who will get there, but Grover in
respect to appointments, is a man of
many surprises and some one else
may throw the feet Eli in the shade.
Who ever he is, we care not, If he
} is only found in the faith. Let him
, come with the 'hickory broom Of
, Jackson" and perform the sweeping
that falls to his lot.
We wonder greatly down here
what kind of a christian asso-
citation it is at the agency, that al.
lows itself to be made the butt of
the evacuating jokes of its news
paper mouth piece, and further how
the Agency folks appreciate the
disgusting levity of the aforesaid
mouth piece in speaking of the dead
soldier, who despite his practical
, errors, is mourned by the whole
American people north and south.
To the first he was the victorious
chieitain; to the latter the magnani-
r nous conqueror. Fish as diet, are
: said to be great producers of brain.
, II 50, Mr.. |. X. Peck should eat them
, breakfast dinner and supper and take
a substantial fish luncheon between
each repast. BY so dieting cent.
, ury or so, it is possible that his upper
| story might contain some scant fur
, niture; and scientists might again
r promulgate the doctrine that"nature
< abbors a vacuum" without fear OF
| successful contradiction.
