never heard a single man knocking
on the Pecos Valley, except one fell
low up in Iowa. He came here for
the benefit of a chronic case of dys-
pepsia and the change unluckily for

kill him. He was constantly in a most
miserable humor. His talk would not
hurt the Valley, as he was as harm
less as a lightning bug and the neigh
bors did not pay any attention to him.
In speaking of the valuable free adj
vertising that Roswell has received,
there have been at least twenty-five
descriptive write-ups of the Pecos
Valley in the past six months. Some
cago American and New York Post,
have tremendous calculations, and
just think of millions reading of the
advantages Of the Valley and the
city of Roswell. This will be of ines
Unable value in the future of this
country. The write-ups have been in
the ''boiler-plate" weeklies and the
big city dailies. AS a rule this write
