SAN ANGELO ABROAD.
Where Some of Our Home Folks
are and What They
are Doing.

Recent reports speak of an
hilarious time up in the CLOUD
City" while governor Otero and
u. 5. Consul Kendrick were up
there. A party of friends from
the San Angelo, Texas, country
met together and rapidly frater-
nized with the other folks. The
genial Mr.. y. Spencer Sharpe
with his friend, the gentleman
musician Nr. G. j. Finger,
formed a Finger-Sharpe Variety
Company and gave afternoon
concerts in the Pavilion. Mrs.
Fentress, of San Saba, lent her
matchless voice and Mr.. Luther
+. Mueller, of Alamogordo,
proved himself a fine tenor
singer, Mrs. Leighton has mag
nificent soprano, (which shes dis
played to advantage. At every
performance, the two organizers
displayed their advertised mar
vellous feet" of step dancing
and balancing, to an enthusiastic
audience.
The "Cloudcroft Knocker" has
also appeared, founded by the
same two gentlemen. 1t is really
u neat piece of journa' istic humor
and we wish it could be con-
tinued.
Originally the journal was illus
trated most cleverly by Mrs.
Long, late of San Angelo, but
printing, these had of course to be
cut out. If all San Angelo people
are like the Messrs. Finger and
Sharpe and their friends, we will
eagerly welcome them now and
forever. San Angelo, we welcome
you!

Miss Minnie Guion Francis, of
Ballinger, was escorted to her
home from Cloudcroft by Mr.. c.
j. Finger. This young lady was
deservedly popular in Cloudcroft.
Mrs. G. S. Long, daughter of
Col. and Mrs. A. J. Baker, will
soon visit her San Angelo home.

The New York Journal contains
a column account of couple of
run away matches, attached to
which are the portraits of the
beautiful brides. 1t was some-
what of a sensational affair, and
on the discovery of the wedding

naded the pair. The Mr.. Bishop
who married the Miss Holland, is
a cousin of Mr.. c. J. Finger, and
the other party, Miss Fox, is
a sister in law of the same
gentleman.
