body now lies in death. the thought
comes. what will Roswell do to
ument to him who was the pioneer
of the Valley, the mar who b!azed
the way her foremost citizen and
RoswelI's first mayor. His memory
will be kept green in the hearts of
all who knew him, the flowers will
bloom and blossom over the ground
that covers the mortal body, but in
addition to this the love which the
people of Roswell bore him will
prompt the building of some mate
rial monument to his memory as a
fitting tribute to his life and work.
This tribute should be in harmony
with the life of the man it commem-
crates. There was nothing spectacu-
lar, no love for show and form in
any part of his makeup. His nature
was free from all a~ffectation. In his
every act of life the usefulness, the
helpfulness to others, the good that
it might do. these were the factors
that he considered. So if he were
to speak he would have this monu-
but one that would be helpful, useful
and beneficial to the town that was
his pride, and whose prosperity and
growth was his hope.
Captain Lea was a frequent visi-
tor to this office. Seldom did he miss
a day that he did not come in, if it
only for a few minutes. Public
as he was he liked to keep
in close touch with the progress of
local events, and to talk of plans for
the public good which he wished to
see consummated. Believing firmly
as ne did that Roswell is destined
be the metropolis of New Mexico

He believed that at small expense
Roswell could do nothing better than
to build such a park and natatorium.
Not only would this be a boon to
the health seeker. a feature of beau
ty and utility to the city, but at the
same time one of great commercial
value. The deep waters below us
have eve been tapped and we do
not know what treasures may be
stored there for us. The natatOrium
would not only be a matter of COM
fort for our own people but would
be the means of bringing many here
and in many ways would be of great
advantage.
With Captain Lea this was no
idle dream. He was not a dreamer.
and if he dreamed at all. he went
to work at once with all his strength
to transform those dreams into real
tiles. On this project, which was at

scription more than two-thirds Of the

Opening of the AbbeviIle Graded
School.

The Graded School at this place will
open on the 18th.
This school has done a great deal for
Abbeville, and is destined to do more.
The course is divided into ten grades,
each of which is presided over by
a competent and painstaking teacher.
Prof. Dick, the principal, who has
been secretary of the State Teachers
Association for a number of years, has
not a superior in graded school work
in the State.
Perhaps one of the best evidences OF
thoroughness of the school is seen in
the fact that pupils therefrom hold
scholarships in every institution in the
State giving competitive scholarships:
1t is ably managed by a fair-minded
intelligent Board of Trustees.
Board can be had at reasonable prices
here, and the health of the city is all
that could be desired.

liminary college training or an aca
demic course would do we'll to enquire

Typhoid Fever.

One family in town is now afflicted with
typhoid fever. II is, as we understand, an
acknowledged fact that typhoid fever does
not come without a local cause, and AS ar
ounce OF prevention Is worth a pound ofcure
1t might be we'll for intelligent citizens 10 CO.
operate with the town council In its effort tC
extermlnate the disease by removing the
causes.
The maintenance of a hog pen is danger
Gus to the health OF the owner as we'll as a
menace to the welfare OF the neighbors.
1t Is with pleasure that the Press and Ban
ner learns that there is In the town council a
sentiment against allowing the keeping OF
hogs within the city limits. If a man is
reckless or careless OF the health of his own
family II Is right and proper for the city au-
thoities TO take notice OF such reckless disre'
gard to the public health, and 10 require such
persons to conform TO the recognized rights
oftheir neighbors.
Oar town is naturally well drained, but
good drainage cannot protect US from the
neglect 10 clean our lots.
There are, as We believe, two great causes
of fever. namely: The presence Of pig pens
and contaminated drinking water in our
wells.
II we have pig pens. or lots that are other
wise filthy, how are we to expect pure water
from our wells. The bottom Of the we'll is Il
long way beneath the surface. and as a well
will drain surface land for a distance OF three
times its depth, the wonder is that more peo-
pie are not sick.
1t will be remembered how Major Zeigler's
family suffered some twenty years ago. A hog
pen was in close proximity TO the house.
Last summer there were several cases Of
fever. All, we believe, occurred in families
that use water from the surface wells.
The city council recently passed an ordi-
nance removing nuisances which were less
dangerous to the public health than pig pens,
and we are glad to think that the city council
will proceed further with the good work OF
caring for the public health.
A hog pen is a menace to the health OF the
town.

We ought to be as cheerful as we
can, if only because to be happy QUIZ
to the happiness of others. There is
no doubt some selfish satisfaction in
yielding to melancholy; in brooding
over grievances, especially if more or
less imaginary; in fanoying that we
are victims of fate. To be bright and
cheerful often requires an effort; there
is a certain art in keeping ourselves
happy; in this respect, as in others, we
require to watch over and manage ur-
selves almost as if we were somebody
else.
