The Ladies Library Association of
Ilazelton gave their annual ball last
Thursday evening in Fishers hall. We
are not informed as to the success of
the affair, but if it reached the standard
of the previous dances given by that as
| ISOLATION it goes without saying.
Ed. Williams was brought up from
Alva on Sundays train. His condition
ID almost unchanged and his mind
seems incapable of entertaining a ra-
tional thought as yet. The failure to
make any progress toward recovery has
created some alarm for him. DR.. Gould
is in attendance.
Died, last evening at O'Clock, Sa-
die, the nine year old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Jas. MCGUIRE This is the
second child that has been taken away
by the dread destroyer from that house
hold within the past three weeks, and
the stricken parents are certainly enti-
tied to the sympathy of the entire COM
munity.
The Santa Fe tax commissioner Is
expected here today to pay the roads
tax in full, as was decided by the man.
ayers Of the system some days ago.
This will bring in over $4,000 to our
treasury and considering that the f.
ances of our county have been rapidly
growing better for some time our pros
poets are indeed bright. About ten
thousand of the twenty-five outstand-
Ing old warrants have been taken up
and cancelled since the new deal was
made with the county depository and
: after the Santa Fe tax is paid in the
treasurer will probably be prepared to
wipe out the remainder, so the entire
outstanding scrip will again fall below
the ten thousand mark In the matter
of the scrip business the results have
been so far very much in excess of the
anticipatiOns Of even the most sangune.
J In very short time at this rate Bar
Der county warrants will again be
worth 100 cents for every dollar.
&C. A. Cliff lost colt this week and
we want to call our readers particular
attention to it as we believe that many
more have died from the same cause.
The colt had been poorly for some little
time and at last attacked by what
seemed to be spasmodic collie, dying
shortly after. After death Mr.. Cliff
cut into the stomach aud took there
from wash basin full OF earth and
grass roots which were undoubtedly
the cause Of death. As to why the dirt
and roots got there Mr.. Cliff stated
that the colt had been running On sod
wheat which had been nipped close.
In endeavOring TO get the wheat the
colt had picked up more less earth and
had also got many Of the tough grass
roots. These formed a mass In the
stomach and would neither pass them
selves nor allow other food TO be pro-
perly digested. Mr.. Cliff says the
danger from sod wheat is much greater
than from wheat on old ground as the
grass roots have not been killed and are
more liable to be picked up by horses
1t would pay anyone having horses out
on wheat to watch out for such cases
as they are hard to treat. The symp.
toms in different horses do not resem.
BILE each other at all and one would
scarcely guess that it was this that was
the matter.-Bluf City Independent.
