tion and to take such steps as may be
necessary to establish the city's title
thereto.
Mr.. Finnc allied attention to the fact
that there are many long trains Of cars
now stopping in Sumter, which neces-
sarily stop on street crossings, and
which cannot be handled within the
time allowed by the ordinance against
blocking street crossings, and that Is
minutes at least should be allowed in
such cases. He asked for moderation
in enforcing the ordinance, as ne
thinks no engineers or conductors will
fully violate its provisions.
Council then adjourned.

on the railroad is as fine a country
as the Pecos Valley affords. Three
hundred and twenty 1920 acres have
been bought, surveyed and plated for
a townsite. The level has been run
and this land shown to be well inside
the artesian line. A charter has been
secured and the townsite company
organized. Some difficulties have been
met with in pushing the plans, but
at present conditions are favorable,
for planting a colony of splendid peo-
pie in and around this townsite. The
promoters are in receipt of hundreds
of letters inquiring about the new
the immediate sinking of a ten or
twelve inch artesian well. A female
college is also under discussion. Pub
lie parks have been set apart and the
sites for churches and public school
purposes donated. The streets are
all named for men VIC have been,

In order to further promote the

Terms of sale. half cash, balance in
five equal monthly installments with

VISITING A VOLCANO.

We had meant to descend into the crater, but upon reaching the top, con- cluded that we could see all that was to be seen from there. First one and then the other remarked that there was no need to make that arduous descent, or that there was nothing more to be seen down there, anyway. Of course we were not afraid. No, no, just tired. One Of the boys sat down on the edge and proceeded to shoot up the scenery with his kodak while we two others made tour of exploration along the summit. Coming to an opening in the wall, with a sort of shelf running along inside, we entered with something of the air of a chicken, which, taking ad- vantage of temporary quietness, pokes it's head into forbidden kitchen. If the presiding demon had made any ex- plosive remarks we should have widen ed that breach in getting away. Our native guide told us that it was aall right, but he modestly refrained from forcing himself to the front, leaving that honor to the more aggressive Ang- lo-Saxon. The fact is, we were all try ing to get behind one another, with more or less success.-National Maga- zine.
