PULL TOGETHER.

If there is one thing in which our
sister town down on the Rio Grande
takes the lead over Las Vegas it is
the remarkable way in which when a
proposition of any kind comes up for
the benefit OF the city they all take
hold and pull together. There may
be kickers there, but we don't hear
of them, and we believe they have
none or have forced them out of the
town. AT any rate if there are any
kickers there they don't show on the
surface. When stranger comes to
the place there is no wondering what
he has come for, but it's question
of how pleasant they can make it for
him and induce him to stay, or at
least invest with them. That's the
kind of work that builds up a city,
and they are trying to do it there,
too.
Another thing: The way they all
feel there, that any one who can get
the kind of goods he needs at home,
but sends away for anything, is an
enemy of the city, helps to keep a
great deal of money at home and
makes it plentier and business bet
ter. It's good example for all
places to follow.

The TROUBLESOME PosroEEIcE.

There is no reform needed by Las
Vegas so much as consolidation of
the two postoffices. Nearly every
business man is obliged to go or send
to both offices every day, and the
saving in time and money would be
very large. No matter how much or
how often persons ask their cores
pondents to remember that their adj
dress is Las Vegas or East Las Vegas,
it is forgotten, and those who do not
take the pains to go TO both sides
find letters in the advertised list.
Then, again, with one Office we
should stand a good show Of having
free delivery, something that is en-
tirely ont of the question as we now
are. If the matter were taken hold
of in earnest we could soon be out
of this trouble and have one good
central postofiice that would be a
credit to the city.

WATaouS ITEMS.

Our esteemed townsman, III. d.

New Mexico, suffered a great loss in
the death of his old retainer, Pero
McGinnis-better known to the pub
lie by the cognpmen of Buster who
died on the morning of the 10th in
slant, regretted by all who knew
him. He was a native of the terri
tory, and i'll early life formed the &C
quaintance of Mr.. Reinkin, which
soon matured into thestrongest friend
ship. Not much over two years ago
he was the victim of dangerous ac-
cident; slight hopes of recovery were
held out at the time, but through the
professional skill of DIR. Weber he
pulled through and apparently re-
gained his normal health. A few
days previous to his death he was
seized by la grippe, to which disease
he succumbed. 1t was painful to
witness his intense suffering, which
at times caused him much misery.
lie was buried this morning with all
the honors of the order to which he
belonged. Judge Woodbury. kindly
acted as prelate, and was supported
by Col Woodburn and Bro. Harry
Byers. Among the mourners we no
