when he was lad of nineteen years,
and that now he, man of twenty
eight years. is living il law abiding
peace with family at Globe, A. T.,

been implicated and was arrested and
put in the Eddy county Jail. He made
his escape and successfully eluded the

DR.. w. E. Garrison, president of the
Territorial Normal University at Las
Vegas, made an interesting talk to
the High School pupils last Monday
morning.
The various rooms had excellent
Thanksgiving programs and H. =, Wis
itors were present. 7a-.s.
The report for the month of. Sem
1ber was the best since school l. 4.
Notwithstanding the fact that -,
were more than two weeks of b..
weather and diphtheria scare, yet
the record of attendance and of the
cases of tardiness was better than
that of the month before. The increase
in attendance for November over that
of the same month last year was II
per cent. We had 365 visitors at our
schools this last month; A visitors
for the same month last year. Tnis
is gratifying and shows that the peo-
pie of Roswell are beginning to take
a vital interest in their schools.
Our next lecture program will be
lecture on, Nerve and Nerves.
Half the faculty of the Roswell pub
lie schools attended the Pecos Valley
Teachers Association last week. In
fact, our delegation was the largest
there. A number of the other teachers
were prevented from attending on ac-
count of sickness and other u1avoid
able conditions. This association will
meet in Roswell next year, and we
should make it the best educational
association that has ever met in New
Mexico.
The High School had its Thanks
giving program in Central building
last Wednesday afternoon. The next
meeting of the society will be Friday
week.
Most of the pupils have shown an
improvement in their grades the past
month. They are doing good solid
work and are manifestilg much inter
est in their studies. They realize and
appreciate the fact that they must be
thorough in their studies if they ex-
pect to be promoted at the end of the
term The teachers are moving slow
ly in their work, and by painstaking
and frequent drills, they are accom-
plishing results.
There will be an exhibition game
of basket ball Friday afternoon at
Central building by the members of
the two literary societies of the High
School This game will take place at
400 p. m.
Supt Brasher has been invited to
lecture at Artesia. Hagerman and
Lake Arthur for the benefit of their
schools.
The girls basket ball team will
play the Artesia team the 14th of this
month.

ed school the beginning of this month

Mr.. Hervey has had little time to
consider the appointment, but this af-
ternoon when asked if he would ac-
cept, jokingly replied. Did you ever
know a Republican to refuse a public
office?" And afterward he explained
that he considered it well worth the
acceptance and expected to go to
Santa Fe in a day or two to look af-
ter the work that will require his at

but this will naturally follow.
Mr.. Hervey has made a good record
as district attorney in the Fifth Judi
cial district and has great many
friends here who will congratulate
him upon the appointment and wish
him well, although all will regret to
see him leave Roswell.
Mr.. Hervey's appointment makes
the fifth high territorial officer to
come from Roswell within the past
two years, including two governors,
two attorneys general and one Terri
ritorial secretary. And still there is
plenty more good material in Roswell,
both Democratic and. Republican to
fill any office in the Territory.
