The article on the fret page Of this
issue. signed "Keons,' deals with histor-
ical occurrences Of early days and is
written by a prominent citizen Of the
county, a member Of that church whose
sarly pilgrimagea and movements are
referred TO. The author was a partici
pant in the exciting scene told Of aud
his statements are as he writes mainly
based on personal observation.
Frank Blackmer Of Cedar Hill dropped
in Wednesday and. among other things,
had his name enrolled on The INDEX list.
The circus wasn't in town that day and
every one wondered what caused FRANKIE
presence, till the fact leaked out that the
"bull chain" on his binder was IN the
blacksmith shop for repairs, Most too
much grain for one machine to try to
take care Of il all, round Cedar Hill.
Last Saturdays New Mexican said,
Granville Pendleton this morning filed
a suit in the district court Of San Juan
county entitled w. Q. Chapman We.
Thomas B Hart. The suit is for recoY-
cry on a six months promissory note
given September "a, 1891. for SIG 50,
with interest at IL per cent per menth
and 10 per cent penalty il it became
necessary to collect the note by law,
The note was made in Durango, Colo,
Only q payment, $50, was made, and
the amount sued for is s23S.7O, which is
for principal, interest and penalty
If Aztec needs one thing more than
another this August weather, it's a meat
market. As q continuous, never changing
diet sardines, salt sides and canned
salmon have been a failure, and so the
one universal acclaim is for mutton, pork
and beef, yes, embalmed beef, If nothing
better. The market is now supplied
systematically and sometimes quite sat
isfaetorily by itinsrant meat men, but a
real, reliable, we'll conducted meat mar
ket is what is insisted upon by the
hungry. 1t might not pay big like a
newspaper or IN ice cream parlor, but
we pledge our life and fortune and
sacred rep" it is needed.
