weeks.
AS will be seen by the above re.
port, the stockholders Of the old ag-
ricultural society after q struggle Of
fourteen years with adverse fate have
decided to discontinue business, sell
out, pay up outstanding debts, divide
whatever is left among stockholders
and 60 out Of business. The society
for the past two years has been more
than paying expenses, but a burden
of debt contracted ln former years
proves to be too much of a load to
carry, and SO after a full discussion
by the vote indicated above the con-
clusion was REACHED.
A large number of our people, how
ever, feel that fair association will
in the future as in the past prove of
great benefit to the county and are
endeavoring to organize a new soci-
ETY., unhampered with debt, to go on
with tho work. Through the kind
ness of Secretary Johnston the HER
AID is enabled to present to it's Eead-
ers statement of the receipts and
expenditures during the past year.

SILVER CLANS.
Gatbering in sireat Numbers for TO
mGrrOw's Convention at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 31.-In most of the hotel
rotundas and lobbies the subject of con-
versation was silver. The vanguard of
delegates has been very active in assist
ing the local committee to get things in
shape for the great convention, which is
to give expression to the views of the
friends of the white metal. Delegates
are arriving by hundreds on every train
to-day. From Denver 250 delegates ar
rived last night, and the representation
from the eastern states, the middle and
northwestern states, is a surprise as to
numbers and influence. Gen. Warner,
of the Bimetalic league, and Senator
Stewart arrived from Washington last
night. Many prominent labor organiza-
tion leaders are in attendance. e., The con-
vention people will open in the main hall
of the first Methodist church at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning. On Tuesday and
Wednesday nights great rally on the
Lake Front will be addressed by Gen.
Warner, Senators Jones and Wolcott,
Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska; Bland,
of Missouri, and many other leading free
silver men. Carl Brown, a California
delegate, will make an address on the
Lake Front tomorrow afternoon. Brown
is the organizer of the American Indus
trial league, the free silver society of the
west.

SENATORIAL CANVASS.
Another Attempt to Find Out the
silver -Opin-
ions Differ.

WARRINGTON, July 31.-The Washington
Post publishes an estimate of the prob
able vote in the senate on the repeal Of
the Sherman silver purchase law. 1t
gives 81 for unconditional repeal IA who
will vote for repeal but would like to
mellow it, and "a against it, or for free
silver coinage.
The canvass made by the silver men
differs materially from that of the Post,
both in number and personnel. They
give the figures as follows: For gold
standard and absolute repeal, "a; probably
for, but as yet uncommitted, 6; total 40.
Against repeal unless with conditions, a
free silver coinage, 43. Three senators
from Washington, Montana and Wyoming
are to be admitted, which will swell this
vote to 46.
The position of Senators Hill and
Murphy, of New York, is not clearly un-
derstood as yet but the silver men claim
that these senators will insist upon strict
compliance with the bi-metallic plank of
the Democratic platform. Its evident from
the various estimates that very strong
element of uncertainty exists as to the
vote in the senate, but in any event it will
be very close.

EDDY ECHOES.
T. T. Dougal is putting forty acres
near Otis, in cana-agria for Mr.. Mcmillan,
of st. Louis.
The name of the Mexican whose dead
body was found at Seven Rivers, was M.
Rodriguez. About sixty knife thrust
were counted on his body. No inquest
was held.
The Citizen reporter was shown an
alfalfa plant only six months old, grown
by A. B. Cady, of Eddy, that measured
five feet from tip to tip. The stalk was
two feet nine inches and the top root three
feet two inches.
The Pecos river began rising last
Wednesday as a result of the big noun
ain rains and stood about two feet higher
than usual. On Friday the greatest flow
of the season came down the river.
The water mains lack but little over
half mile of reaching the new wells. 1t
will not be long now before Eddy will
have plenty of nice soft water.
The Pecos Irrigated Farms company
will raise on their 700 acres planted in
alfalfa at least 2GOO tons of this clover
the present season, besides all the fodder
they will need to feed the stock on the
place. They already have 250 tons in
stack from the second cutting and the
third cutting is commenced. The first
averaged one ton to the acre and the sue
ceeding cuttings will go one and half
tons.

Alfalfa Will BE Scarce.

DENVER, July 3l.-W. N. Batcheider, su-
perintendent of irrigation, says there will
be no second crop of alfalfa this year,
with few exceptions. Usually three
crops are cut, but this season farmers
have had to give up the second crop and
be content with the first and third. 1t is
also stated that not more than one-half or
two-thirds of the coming crop of alfalfa
will be secured and consequently hay
will rise in price.

Colorado's Unemployed.

DENVER, July 31.-Judge Belford and
State Senator Barela were at the govern
or's Office Saturday, Offering suggestions
as to what should be done for the un-
employed. Judge Belford thought the
$1,00O,0OO surplus in the county treasury
ought to be expended for the employment
of the idle men. Senator Barela declared
the state was the proper authority to
provide for the unemployed and said he
was in favor of the legislature meeting to
enact a bill setting apart $1,000,000 for
the construction of canals and reser-
vOirs.

The tax levy for Grant for the present
fiscal year as apportioned by the board
of county commissioners is $22.25 on the
thousand. The total valuation of prop
erty in the county is $4,03S, ,702.74, after
deducting $4,000 for family exemp-
tion. The total amount to be derived
from the levles will likely be something
over $4,000. Scarcely enough to pay
current expenses, it is said, statement
which, to say the least, is very queer.
The postoffice at Columbus, about
twenty miles south of Deming on the
