OF Dec. 25th, 1891, under auspices
Of CerrIllos knights of Pythias and
for which the tickets are now on

Rumor has Il that s. z. Conger
has sold his interest In the ST. Lac :
rus property and that request has
been forwarded to the works at
San Pedro for statement OF the
Indebtedness OF the company. so
that the same may be paid, after
which the gold property will re
sumo operations.
The Cerrillos school IL doing
nicely. Prof. Griggs Is working
hard and has got the pupils In good
training to now begin to advance
rapidly, or at least those of them
who will take an interest. All In
all, the prospect ls much brighter
and the showing much better than
ever before.
Cerrillos should represent nat
ural beehive. and the drones, tho
idlers, the Adventures, the tim
horns and the sharpers-men who,
individually and collectively de-
pend ON making living off OF the
laborlng men-should be given no
place IN Il. BE hive! How long,
for instance, would your healthy
colony Of honey gatherers remain
healthy aud prosperous, were such
dangerous elements 10 their LrOs-
perity admitted to their hive?
1t Ia rumored, whether true or
not, that certain boys OF the town ;
nice youths-are In the habit oi
carrying around with them certain
poisonous drugs for certain vile
purposes. Ifthis is true their par

community should take them In
hand. There is no species oI
criminality SO vile and reprehensi.

ment as that which seeks to destroy
or render unsafe, virtue and moral.
lty, In any community, and the
beastly black of the South, who Ii
pursued with blood-hounds. cap
tured, lynched and cut to pieces, Il
no more deserving of his fate than
the youth In any community wht
criminal1y and wantonly pursue'
the same object, unly in differen
and more underhanded way.
The intonatlon of the revolver
still rings out spiteful and distinc
of nights, awakening the sleepe
and startling the pedestrian whit
may be out late. No dead mel
are found and the cause of tn
shooting continues to be mystery
In land and government wher
civilization IL supposed to hav
reached the high-water mark an,
where the carrying of pistols /
forbidden by law under tho severes
penalty, why is 1t that this shootin
canuot be stopped before som,
body is accidentally or otherwise
hurt.
