the photograph business in Roswell,
today sold his west Fourth street
studio. including apparatus. fixtures,
business and good will, to Hess &
Co., who have been running the Tent
Studio at the corner of Fifth and
Main. The apparatus of both studios
will be combined and the new one
will be the best equipped photograph

Mr.. Walton has not decided upon
a location, but will open a studio
elsewhere ia the West. Mrs. Walton
is now visiting in New York. Roswell

moval of Mr.. Walton. His pictures are
equaled, but not excelled, even in the
great cities. He received his training
il great cities and knows their style.
Besides his professional value, many
regret his departure for purely per-
sonal qualities.
Mr.. Hess, who is at the head of
the firm of Hess & Co., is also an
artist in his line, having produced
some of the very best work at his
Tent Studio. For a year he was a stu
dent under Mr.. Walton.

Two members of the county COM

although they promised no help, gave
out some hope That the Lake Arthur
people might be partly reimbursed in
