stated, only that he came from the
lower country.
G. w. Holland, of the upper Pen
asco has put in a very fine stock of
goods, shipped from Ell Paso, and
is doing thriving business.
1t was the generally expressed
opinion OF the stockmen at the meet
,, ing recently held here that Texas
cattle must go-by some other route
Il an up the Pecos.
Isaac Ellis has sold his stock of
drygoods to Rocco E. Millio, who
will conduct the business at the old
stand. lie is expecting a large stock
of goods soon from Las Vegas.
Louie lTonjeau was buried at
White Oaks on Friday. The body
was kept five days to await instruc-
tions from his friends in the east, but
as none came, it was thought best to
hold the funeral.
Rexforl left ''them steers" long
enough the other day to 60 to the
Pecacho on the hunt of housekeep-
er. "Whoa, there stand still! Oh
now my restless heart stand still
won't ye? Col dun it!!''
Ben. Burgess, the village peda-
gogue of White Oaks has became
discouraged at the way the young
ideas of that place have of shooting
and resigned his charge. His sue
cessor has not yet been appointed.
With the affairs Of the county in
its present hands and the ability of
the people to meet all outstanding
obligations there is no reason why
her bonds should not be worth every
cent their face calls for. 1t will be
but very few years before the
county is out of debt.
The sign is now right to cover up
the filth around your back doors,
with wood ashes, or what is more
common, throw a board across and
bridge it over. It is also time to
harvest the old fruit cans growing
under your kitchen windows or kick
them down into the arroyo back of
the house. If there is any small
boy around you can persuade him
with piece of stale mince pie or a
strip Of red leather from an old boot
top to have his dog drag them away
with a tail hitch.
J. 3. Collier, the new justice of
the peace at White Oaks, is making
it rather expensive for the fellows
who are afraid to circulate around
the streets unless protected by six
shooter. 1t now costs $25 to carry
that kind Of courage, either in the
belt or hip pocket, over there. This
gives a peacable citizen, who does not
wish to carry hardware store with
him when transacting business, an
equal show for his life with the bully,
and the law should be enforced in
every town in the county. There
would not then be SO many murders
committed nor so many very ques-
tionable verdicts of self-defense
rendered as now. There is no more
occasion for a man to carry weapon
for self-defense here in Lincoln
county than there is in planting a
GatEng gun before the door of a
meeting house in little Hoosier
village.
