ROSWE ELL, IN ov. 7.

Capt. G. w. Littlefeld returned
to Texas a few daps since.
Mrs. 2. NJ. Chisum and Lee
Wells, her brother, started to Sher-
man, Texas, yesterday, on an ex-
tended visit.
The round-ups are about finished,
and stockmen are more than satisfied
with the increase and thrifty appear
ance of their herds.
Mr.. Hale finished threshing here
this week. Mr.. Samuel Cunning
ham threshed 2,200 bushels of grain,
with a good corn crop yet in the
field Who says this is not farm
ing country?
Mr.. Farmer and Mr.. Moore, our
school teachers in this and adjoining
district, have inaugurated spelling
schools once week alternately in
each district. These spellings are
entertaining and instructive, and it
would be commendable in all the
districts to commence them.
Mrs. Ada B. Edwards, her two
children, and Miss Mabin arrived
here from Mississippi a few days
since. Mrs. Edwards lived here for
a time, but returned to Mississippi
in the spring of 1884. She says she
could not stay away from the beauti-
full and healthy climate of New
Mexico, and henceforth will make
this her permanent residence.
Miss Sallie Smith experienced an
exciting and dangerous adventure
few days since with a large rattle
snake, which by some means had en-
tered the house. She succeeded af-
ter a fierce battle, in killing his
snakeshp, which was about four
feet long, with twelve rattles. Miss
Sallie said it was n fight or vacate
the premises, and she chose the
former. She and little Willie An
derson came very near being bitten
by the yenemons reptile.
Since our last communication, two
more couple have been joined in
matrimonial bonds, to-wit: Bennet
Howell and Miss Minerva Harris, at
the residence of the brides parents,
on the 22 ult.; and Frank Gibbens
and Mrs. Mary G. kiser, at the resi-
dence of Col, Mines, on the 25th of
October; and the question now is,
who will be the next to succumb to
the epidemic. Bennett left at once
with his bride for his ranch, so miles
east of TT. Sumner, in the midst of
the LIano Estacado. These Young
people have the best wishes of the
entire community in this their new
departure. xxx.

CAMP DATE, N. M.--Nov 3.

drop you a few lines. That's quite
hard to do, as Sergt. Burns is sitting
at the door of the tent trying to sing
some melody. "What is it?' is tru-
ly the question, and it's more than |
can answer, or anybody else.
We had quite nice trip over

their appearances they are faithfully
holding up to their oaths. What a
place this would be for Andy Rich
ardson. He would never fall by the
wayside and lay the cause to water.
After due reflection, ] guess he
would, because we have no a. f. G.

with. If it was anywhere in the
country Andy would have it before
he would again try drink of water.
The water may be fit for cattle, but

Newspapers Then and Now.


When the present publisher of The
Caledonian entered this office, local
news was as rare to be found in a
country paper as it is now rare to find
country paper without it. Even those
now living cOnversant with papers in
those days would hardly believe the
facts if their attention was called to
them. A perusal of The CaledOnian
for the spring of 1910 will disclose the
following local news: March "a, there
was a local item concerning damage
done south Of this place by n severe
freshet. March 81 there was an ac-
count of Il heavy fall of snow. some
fourteen inches having fallen - the
heaviest storm of the entire winter.
April I, there was Il report of a bridge
swept away at Ely's hoe factory. The
next local item was in the paper of
June 23, when three lines announced
the appointment of Ephraim Jewett as
postmaster of the place. June 30, there
was a weather item to the effect that
the mercury had ranaed from 90 to 90
degrees in the shade for eight consecu-
tive days. Thus it will be seen that
in the four months which this record
covers, there were five items of local
interest, averaging perhaps a dozen
lines each and we have no doubt this
was fair sample of the year. We
mention this only to show the remark
able change which has come over the
country newspaper in these years. 1t
is no unusual thing now for a single
issue of The Caledonian to have six or
seven columns of news from this and
surrounding towns, or more than the
same paper contained in an entire year
in the '40s. II is perhaps unnecessary
TO state that the labor of collecting To-
cal news far exceeds all the other work
on the papeT No one can aDDreciafe

DIR. Cages Singular success

Last week Dr. Gage was again in MODtpelier and

Birthday Party.

Birthday Party.
Last Saturday, Jan. Il, there was
quite gathering at the Gardiner
Wheeler place in this town, near Four
Corners, the occasion being the S1th
Dirt day of Mr.. Wheeler. Mr.. Wheel
er was born in the house where he has
ever since lived, and is one of the
oldest, if not the oldest man living i'll
town who was born here. He is in
fair health and gets down to the viii
lage occasionally but not often.
Among those present on his birthday
were his son with whom he lives, H..
II. Wheeler and family his daughter,
Mrs. A. \. Miles and her family, and
five elderly ladies of the neighbor
hood, whose ages, with that of Mr..
Wheeler, made an average of ~ years
each for the six.
