SOCORRO Is YEARS AGO
Memories of Former Days Will Be
Refreshed by Incidents in
the Gem City,
As TOLD BY THE SOCORRO sun
A Copy of Which Has Been Pre-
served by sam'l O. Meek Of
This City.

Among the items of local news,
dated August Ia instead of Aug
ust Z, the issue being delayed a
week by a broken press, are the
following: "Socorro has the
boom. Prof. Longuemare has
located here. Forty carpenters
and twenty-siX passengers on the
first train New Mexico wool is
quoted at from lS to 30 cts. in
St. Louis. The beautiful shade
trees at the Park Hotel catch the
visitors. w. ]. Dougherty of
Illinois has hung out his law
Shingle at the Park Hotel. ~
Some of the ground between the
depot and plaza could be utilized
for a frog farm. Jose Montoya
and Nemecia Miera were united
in marriage at San Antonio last
week.
Among the business adver-
tiSementS to be seen in this issue
of the Sun are those of Nj.
Fischer, general merchandise; ].
w. Barney q Co., heavy hard
ware;Lodge & Geagher, fresh
and salt meats; Blanchard q Co.,
everything; Severe A. Baca, dry
goods &c. The legal profession
is represented by John H. Nc
Cutchen, J. NJ. Shaw, and w. j.
Dougherty. The physicians

ers, and II. J. Alternately.
AS items of general news the
Sun announces that Gen. Grant
has been elected president of the
San Pedro and Canon del Aqua
Co., that the estimated popula-
tion of the United States is 50,-
600, 900, that Victorio has been
driven out of Mexico and has
since been defeated by Gen.
Grierson in Texas, that Tran
quilino Luna is the republican
and Nj. A. Otero the democratic
candidate for delegate, and that
Cleopatra's needle has been
brought safely over and placed
in Central Park.
All this sounds very strange to
people of a later generation in
Socorro and is quite likely to put
old-timers into reminiscent
mood.
In addition to this copy of the
Socorro Sun, Mr.. Meek has also
copy of the Las Vegas Daily
Optic, volume one, number l80.
dated June /, 1880, h. A. Kistler
editor and proprietor, which con-
tains the following clipped from
the New Castle, (Ind.) } Courier:
"The correspondent of the Las
Vegas, N. NJ, Optic, published
by Russ Kistler, writing from
Socorro, says: Among our
whole-souled, generous men, I
am glad to mention our justice.
Samuel Meek" Sam, il must be
remembered, has written a few
letters for the Courier, and is a
native of New Castle. From the
title conferred upon him above.
we Judge he is not without honor
i'll his new country; and that his
lines have been cast in pleasant
places. If he is as great min.
ic now as he was when a lad lie
certainly must keep things live
ly in Socorro.
There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced il a local disease and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced il
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. HALLS
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taker
internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. 1t acts direct
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer on,
