White Oaks, Feb. %, 1897. On the
afternoon of February 21 the bridal
party-Colonel G. w. Pritchard and
wife-arrived at White Oaks by special
stage. Mrs Pritchard is an intelligent,
charming lady and will be valuable
acquisition to the society of White Oaks,
where she will be received with un-
stinted welcome.
Colonel Pritchard is to be congratu-
lated upon securing a woman so hand
some and gracious to preside over the
home he expects to establish in our
midst. He has sanguine faith in the
early development of White Oaks and
vicinity and intends to stay here and
witness the boom, the indications of
which are already much larger than the
size OF a mans hand.
Angel or Eaglet? That is the ques-
tion. 1t has all the downy softness and
heavenly charm of an angel, but was
found in the Eagles nest early yester
day morning. If the White Oaks Eagle
Is all pie this week we shall not be sur

Go ring the bells and fire the guns
And crack your heels for joy,
Send in your soothing balm and buns
For it's boy! It's boy!

Delicious! never tasted ANYTHING
finer. Ii these are the kind of apples
you raise here in New Mexico then
must say you beat the world for fruit.
These apples would readily command at
least cert per pound in any northern
or eastern market over all competitors.
This was said by an Ohio man when
asked to sample some of the luscious |
Pearmains and juicy Winesaps displayed
in one of our grocery stores the other |
day. What is said for our apples can
be Justly claimed for all the fruit raised |
in the mountain section Of Lincoln !
county. Earth and sunlight and noun
tain air seem to combine here to form Il I
perfect apple, pear or peach, and the |
climate at the time of maturing does the
rest in the production of the delicious
fruitage.
Lincoln county, today. is furnishing |
apples to the Ell Paso market, after sup
plying the towns and mining camps
within her own borders, and yet this en-
terprise is only in its infancy In this
part of the territory.
The most successful fruit raiser in
This section is, perhaps, j. N. Coe, Of the !.
Ruidoso, on the eastern side of White
He gives his orchard his
personal and constant care. He sprays
his trees at certain intervals and conse-
luently his fruits not damaged by the
codling moth and other vermin which
affect some orchards. OF the many
pounds of fruit he has sold to
dealers here in White Oaks, during the
past four years, it is said there is yet to
be found the first wormy apple. His
crop last year amounted to over 10000
pounds and has all been disposed of in
the local markets because of its superior
flavor and quality.
Truly, fruit culture will pay in this
section of country, and this is another
one of the enterprises we shall see de-
veloped by the coming Of the El Paso &
Kansas City railroad. J
