THE ENTIRE NOUS DANCE.

The Entire Nous dance at Trimble
Springs last evening was the event
of the winter among the single and
young married people. When the
train pulled out about SIS there We're
about 10 ladies and gentlemen in
the very best OF good humor Arriy-
ing at Trimble a half an hour later
the company was welcomed by Mrs.
Day and at once made TO feel at
home. 1t was not long before dane
ing started in the big pavilion and
with slight intermisslon at u o'clock
for supper there was continual
round of gaiety until ? o'clock, when
Prof. Feichtinger's orchestra played
Sweet Home" waltz. 1t was intend
ed to have this dance a fancy dress
affair, but whea the place Of holding
the dance was changed to Trimble It
was understood by some that the fan
cy dress would be postponed, but this
was not generally understood ana
probably half OF the company ap-
peared as WAS the original Intention.
hence there were many gay colors
and pretty costumes in evidence.
The midnight spread was all that
could be asked and Mrs. Day spared
no pains in making the visit OF the
club pleasant. 1t was about 3 o'clock
when the special returned to Du-
range.

Here is nice state of affairs. The
Kline correspondent of the Durango
Herald says that he hears that a
number OF land buyers are going
through Durango headed for Aztec
and Pennington. The correspondent
urges that these newcomers be grab
bed, hustled into carriages and taken
up to Kline. Complaint is made BY
real estate men of Aztec that me1
whom they have interested and got
as far as Durango have been switched
off there into the Montezuma valley
and other places. Should such charge
prove true 1t will not make Durango
any more popular in this region. The
famous fruit belt of New Mexico is
tributary to Durango and only asks
that the Smelter City keep hands on
as far as immigration into this coun-
try is concerned.-Atzec Index.
The Herald can hadlly believe that
Durangoites are guilty of switching
uoIit5tthtio lIDil oht otition Vi
southwest to another. especially be
tween Montezuma and San Juo2 coun-
ty, n. NJ. Our people are boosting for
both sections, and will do everything
to encourage settlement. True. there
may now and then be an individual
case where some man may have a
personal interest in the sale OF land
and will try to induce newcomers TO
invest, but there are just as many
who will in turn boost just the same
way for the Aztec and Pennington
sections. hence the Index is reminded
| that it should not try to foment strife
between Durango and the people to
l the south of us for the reason that
our people will not engage in any
| such work.
