Deming. N. NJ, Oct. 3.-Last Friday
evening the weekly dance at the opera
lect crowd, all of whom enjoyed them
selves greatly, the evening being cool
and pleasant for dancing.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. p. r. Smith
gave q tea to some of her friends,
which all enjoyed. Mr.. Lloyd enter
tanned the company with some Of the
best singing heard in Deming for a
good while. Mrs. |. Brown also did
herself and her hostess proud in this
line and as accompanist.
The Deming base ball park is being
rapidly fenced and put into first class
condition, so that hereafter visiting
teams will not have to depend alto
gether on subscriptions for expenses.
We have one of the best little teams in
the territory, and the boys are willing
to tackle anything here in the amateur
line.
Tuesday morning Frank E Rogers,
the New York partner of p. r. Smith,
Jr., arrived in Deming to remain per-
manently. He has gone into the part
nership of Stone G Smith, and the firm
name will hereafter be Stone, Smith &
Rogers. Mr.. Rogers was forced to close
out the New York business on account
of his health, as Mr.. Smith has been in
! naninC for zopprhot oyar n yaar nour
for the same reason. and there was lit
tie likelihood OF either of them being
able to return there and continue the
business.
Tuesday evening, Mrs. p. r. Smith.
Miss Kendrick and Miss Smith enter
tanned about forty friends at a Fan-Tan
party. Chinese decorations and dishes
were the order of the evening and of
the refreshments, chop sticks being
used in place of forks and spoons, and
serving as souvenirs of the evening.
The refreshment table was a very pref
ty sight. After refreshments the first
prizes were auctioned of for points
won at Fan-Tan, w. II. Greer winning
the first prize for gentlemen with fiji
teen games to his credit, and Miss
Hamm the lady's prize with a like
number of points. Consolation prizes
were awarded to |. b. Stone and Mrs.
|. Brown, who paid for them, the mu-
nifcent sum of four points each.
Tuesday evenings train brought
down quite a number of Silver Cityites
for Buffalo Bin's show, among them
Mr.. and Mrs. JOhl l.. Burnside, Eben
Burnside, S. II. McAnninch, and a
number of other Silver City notahles.
A large number Of holiday seekers also
came in from Douglas and other points
! along the Southwestern and Southern
Pacific lines, as well as from the out
lying ranches.
Wednesday afternoon Buffalo Bill ar
rived and erected his tents. At $3.50
he paraded. and at $3.50 opened his
doors to the people of Deming and sur
rounding country. He was largely pat
ronized, much to his own satisfaction
and undoubtedly TO the great amuse
ment of those who viewed his perform
ance, which all pronounced excellent.
There seems to be a disposition or
the part OF the leading democrats Of
Luna county not to dispute very HARD
the election of Governor Otero's ap
pointees here, as there is generally +;
feeling of gratitude TO him for his as
sistance IN getting the county division
But enough in common with the other
we feel grateful to the governor 10
!, this. there are several of the position.
which could be filled by more accepta
BILE men than now hold them.

D journer here in the interest of hi
d patrons there regarding certain mil
ing property in the Dragon mouI
tains.
