The Vacheron Watch

None other so good for the
money; properly and scientific
ally proportioned; made by a
firm first incorporated in 1910:
they embody the best practical
knowledge Of any watch in the
world. In a certain bank in
Helena there are two carried by
gentlemen to whom we sold. Be-
side them is another one, carried
by gentleman who has inherited
it; a gold, key-winder, made
probably fifty years ago; cases
nearly worn out, but the move
ment still faithful, clicking"
testimonial to the excellence of
the Vacheron watch in all de-
cades. We challenge anyone to
produce a bad. one. See us
about them.

has persisted from the earth leaving not
a sentence OF recorded history behind.
Who were they? We shall never know.
Contemporary history furnishes no AID,
for they were isolated from all the world
beside. When was the mound reared?
None can answer, for it may have been
old when the pyramids of Egypt were
being built and Cleopatra'S Needle was
being fashioned.
To save it we have devised numerous
plans. one of which is to ask the teach
ers and pupils Of the State to aid us.
There were last year 1884, 64 pupils en-
rolled in the schools, and 5,491 teachers
employed. II they will give US but
few cents each, we will save the Mound,
and certainly the scholars OF our State
are those who have the greatest interest
in the preservation OF this historic ana
antiquarian monument.
The plan of work is this: The Society
IS now sending to County Superintend-
ents blank subscription lists with circu-
lars, ETC., which will be placed in the
hands of every teacher in the State, and
the teacher is requested to make a
contribution himself, and on the day
fixed collect from the school in which
be is employed, carefully enrolling the
name of every pupil who contributes,
with the amount of the contribution.
These lists will be returned to the
Society to be preserved in its archives.
The 10th day of October is the ami
versary of the battle OF Point Pleasant.
That falls on Saturday. And all
teachers whose schools are then in SEES
sion will make their collection on Fri
day, the 9th of October, which is the
nearest school day to the anniversary Of
the great historic battle.
The 10th of November is the ami
versary of the murder of the Shawnee
chieftain, Cornstalk, at Point Pleasant.
All Of the schools will then be in ses-
sion and in all of them, which were not
open in October, the collection will be
made, on the anniversary of thai event.
ovFV e 1hfr~rnso uetlUns" 4erdGHe TO the
method Of procedure and it is hoped
! that there is not teacher in the State
that will not aid in the laudable work.
The Mound once in our possession
will never more be liz danger Of demoli-
tiOn, but will be preserved to be studi-
ed and admired by generations yet I'M
born. VIII you aid us? 1t is hoped
that you will, and If so, we will not
only save the Mound to posterity, but
at the same time gather and preserve
library and historical cabinet tn at
shall hereafter be the pride OF the
State. Earnestly asking your assist

willing to give.

Mr.. Geo. Hill Howard, pleasantly re.
membered here as coming from California
and spending some months in Santa Fe
about eight years ago, has arrived from
Washington city in company with his
family and will henceforth make this city
their home. Mr.. Howard has associated
himself with the widely known law firm
Of Jefries & Earle, of Washington, and
will open an Office here for the purpose OF
engaging in the settlement OF land grant
questions coming before the new land
court, and doing a general land Office
practice. He is son Of the U. s. attor-
ney who had charge of the settlement of
land grants before the commission in
California; is a ACKNOWLEDGEMENT scholar,
and lawyer of ability and extensive ex-
perience in this particular class of cases,
and but for the fact that he has large in
terests in grant litigation he would most
likely have been named as one Of the
judges of tho land court. Mr.. Howard
will prove valuable acquisition to Santa
Fe both socially and professionally. He
has located his Office for the present, and
until the completion of the Catron block
in the Gallegos building.

large quantity Of goods with which to bar
