search for fates ended there, and
there their tria for happiness began.
John Northern is Il king when hearts
are trunps, Miss Dome Smith was
a maiden, possessed Of rare intcllec.
tual qualities and winning demeanor.
Tail, straight as dart, stately in
carriage, with brilliant, beautiful
e, es, pearly teeth, and fascinating Z
manners, she was the alteration of
the beaux. Mrs. DOME Northern is
modest, unassuming matron, who
has lost none of her attractions by
marriage, and, braving Johns wrath,
it is but truth to say she has lost
none of that attraction which glori-
fed her maidenhood. The boys wor-
ship---hopeIossly still, John, and
some are not rich save in love and
mutual regard and trust. The writer
predicts for them serene and hap
pv life. "as cloudless, save with rare
and roseate Shadows" as we could
wish for our dearest beloved as
happy as the proudest and richest
alliance though Mamn,on forge the
Chain Of massive gold, and Beauty
twines each link with roses
Lookout is looming. The only
merchant there is Jesse J. Ra scoe,
He has just proved up on l6O acres
of land, and is about to have q town
site laid out. He has a large store
room, Offices, etc, and stage stand,
post Office and dwelling attached.
Rascoc & Markham are just complet-
ing fine saloon near the store, and
have a stock of good liquors on
hand. The chief of the lawless eIe-
ment at Lookout, NJ. }. Denman,
is pretty well quelled, and his sate-
ltes are hiding out. DO away with
these unprincipled marauders, who
call incendiary meetings and threat
en- the lives and property of good
citizens, because they will net va
cate to them their honestly acquired
homes and ranches, and Lockout
will resemble its former self, when
all was quiet and 2cace.
1t is this bastard communisuc sen

worthless which has recently shown
its little, insignificant front on the
Pecos, and has threatened the peace
and prosperity Of our people. Hit

wives and children to 90 barefootcd,

sit about IN the sun in groups

Of the. poor, and insist that he shall
divide his honestlv-earned posses

them to squqnder their share, as the
unprincipled brutes hug themselves
in the sun or shade, and when want
again ovcrtakes them, and thcil
thrifty neighbor has again accum'

it an object, they call again for q
division. These men have no stock

They call themselves farmers. Well

is the farmer who can cultivate moro

pose stockman with 10000 or 30,
600 head of stock is confined to 32C
acres Of land--~that would end the
stock business for him. Suppose the
farmer had control of 10000 acre,
