Celeste Coming.

Our readers and citizens should
feel grateful that they now have an
opportunity to hear some really
good music. We have assured
ourselves that the concerts given
by Celeste are all they are adver-
tised to be, and that she stands to-
day the greatest pianist in the
west, If not in the United States.
Celeste is nothing more nor less
than prodigy-that's what we call
those who are naturally gifted in
any line-and no less a phenom-
enon than Blind Boone. Blind Tom

say that she must be heard to be

simple truth.
We sincerely hope our citizens

Thursday changed the metes and
bounds Of all the voting precincts
in Otero county, with the excep-
tion of the FIVE precincts in La

Two Of the new precincts are To-
Gated in Rocky Ford, one in Sugar
City and one at Swink.
The Fowler precinct, No. 1, is
extended across the river, which
has heretofore been the dividing
line. This will be a great conven-
fence to people living near Fowler,
and just across the river, who have
hitherto been located in the Olney
precinct, and obliged to travel a
long distance in order to exercise
the great prerogative vouchsafed
to every citizen of this republic.
The Manzanola precinct, No. 2,
is reduced in size, one mile being
cut of the east end and added to
the new Rocky Ford precincts,
Nos. ~ and 10.
Two new precincts are created
in Rocky Ford to be known as
Nos. ~ and IS, making total Of
four precincts in that town. The
dividing Ines are the railroad track
and Main street, Nos. 8 and ~
being located north of the railroad
track and Nos. 4 and I8 south.
Both new precincts are located
west OF Main street.
The new precinct at Swink,
known rs No. IS, takes in that
portion Of Holbrook north Of the
Swlnk bridge and extends far
enough west to include Newdale.
The dividing line between Swink
and Fairmont precincts is the road
running west from La Junta to the
Best, school house.
The Ordway precinct, No. II,
|is cut in two, creating the new pre-
cinct At Sugar City, known - No.
