A glance at the list of companies represented in "The
Largest Fire Insurance Agency in Northeast New
Mexico will convince anyone of the Agency's great
choice of the BEST and MOST RELIABLE for
DIV cling and household furniture risks and of its
unsurpassed equipment for the handling, in its own
Office, of LARGE LINES on mercantile risks, thus
avoiding the confusion and probable loss to the
assured that is always caused, in case of fire, by
policies covering on the same property, issued by
different agencies, not being concurrent.
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1907-05-25

The combined Gross Assets of the Companies here
represented amount to over 122 million dollars; they
have a surplus to their policy holders of some AZ
million dollars and they have paid for fire losses the
enormous sum of 730 million dollars. These facts
with the knowledge that special attention is paid to
the issuing of policies that will fully cover and that
business entrusted to this agency will be placed
among these Companies, are arguments too strong
to be overlooked by any business man or others who
wants INSURANCE THAT INSURES.

RESOLUTIONS.

Death has again entered our circle,
and taken from US our Associate
Matron, an esteemed, honored, and
beloved sister, Kate Slack Baker.
Whereas, Sister Baker was ever an
earnest and conscientious worker in
DEBORAH Chapter. and it's interests, it
seems fitting at this time that De-
corah Chapter shall express, not only
its sorrow at having to part with one
who was such benefit and cherished
worker in the order, but also it's ap-
probation of the good work done by
her.
1t is hard to understand why a life
which gave promise of so much use
fulness and worthy purposes, should
so suddenly end.
But the true and beautiful life of
Sister Baker has returned to the God
who gave it, leaving, however. the
memory of life, though brief. well
! spent. therefore be it
Resolved. That in the death or our
sister, we recognize the mysterious
hand of the Great Architect of the
Universe, "Who doeth all things
we'll :" and that we bow in humble
| Su omission to His Will.
Resolved. That we extend our ten
derest sympathy to the husband and
kindred, who. by their mutual sor-
row. are bound TO us by still
stronger tie of affection. Words
seem meaningless but we commend
them for comfort and consolation to
Him who alone can heal wounds of
love. We know that beyond. Kate
awaits the coming of her loved ones.
Resolved, That the jewels of our
Chapter, the Associate Matron IS
chair. and the altar be draped in
mourning, and that a copy of these
Resolutions be given to the husband,
Brother George Baker, also that they
be spread upon the records of our
Chapter.
Let us walk kindly, friends,
We cannot tell how long this life
shall last,
How soon these precious years be over
passed
Let love walk with us, friends.
Let us walk quickly, friends.
Work with our might. while lasts our
| little stay,
And help some halting comrade on
the way;
And may God guide us, friends.
Lovingly submitted,
Mrs. Mary Jane Adams

at once the supports gave way
and the seats, with their occu
pants, fell to the ground. The
widest excitement prevailed fol
a time and it was with difficulty
that people were made to believe
that nobody was killed. Such,
fortunately, proved to be the
case, much to everybody'S relief.
Several were injured, perhaps
twenty-five in all, but the injuries
were more from shock than 9th
erwise, and nothing of a real scri-
Gus nature growing out of said
accident has, up to this time, Fri

one dislocated shoulder, County

dealt chiefly with one of the most
serious problems now confront
ing the American people, the
negro question, and he handled
it as a statesman should, clearly
and conscientiously and with due
regard for all concerned. 1t was
one of the best speeches the edi.
tor of The News ever listened to.
The night entertainment was
good, Appropriate songs by a
troop of little ladies' each one
displaying starry flags; Il well
delivered speech by Raymond
WanSley; a dramatic recitation
by Miss Bessie Johnson, which
was heartily applauded; recita-
tons by Misses Lucille Coffee,
Mabel Rowan and Annie Buie:
violin music by Dr.. Ingham and
music by the band made up this
program and it was a highly
creditabIe affair all through.
SECOND DAY.
The people present were easily
double that of the preceding day.
Congressman Cooper vas the
speaker of the morning. His
speech was largely confined to
the causes leading up to the civil
war, the trials of the wal to the
people Of the South and the un-
paralleled devotion and heroism
of these people at home as on the
tented field during this, one of
the most Titanic struggles re
corded in the world history. 1t
was Il magnificent address and
delighted his audience.
In the evening our own Con
gresham Stephens spoke and
also our senator, J. W. Neale.
Mr.. Stephens address was along
practical lines and dealt mainly
with questions which concern us
now. He briefly reviewed his
work in Congress and told of
where he stood now relative to
national questions and what was
more to the point with us, what
he had done and was going to do
for Texas. Among other things
he mentioned his successful eff
forts in securing for Texas an in
terest in the national irrigation
fund, a splendid thing for us, and
also his actions toward securing
a National Park on the canyon
below this town. Stephens won
his audience completely.
Senator Veale's subject was
largely in connection with his
record at Austin. He outdid
himself on this occasion. Per
hapS it was on account of the
dig" recently given him by the
Mighty Highness, Senator Bal
ley. at Clarendon. However this
may be Veale held the close at
tention of a very tired audience
and this is compliment enough
for almost anybody. He did not
get to finish his address on ac-
count of the falling of the elevat-
seats on the ball grounds.
These seats, placed tier above
tier, and shielded. were loaded
to the utmost with spectators,
mostly ladies', witnessing the bali
game then going on at about 3:30.

Hon. r.. ID. Thompson of Green
