In Harness Again.

of The RECORD is oack az MS
desk with renewed energy and
determination to endeavor to give
the people of Williamsburg a
better county paper than ever
they have had before. By reason
of illness and "that tired feeling
incident thereto, the editor has
not penned line for the paper,
nor has he seen single business
or other communication that came
to the office during his absence.
he is trying to gather up the
more or less tangled threads of
the business department as soon
as possible, so as to yet matters
sdinsted satisfactorily where mis-
understanding exists. We ask any
and all on. friends who have
cause for complaint to write US
at once stating the circumstance S
plainly and we may be depended
upon to correct any mistakes that
NAV have been made prior to or
during our absence. In the nature
of things it is to be expected
that there would occur mistakes
in the office when the head OF
the business has been so long
absent. So grant us charitable
indulgence and aid us in adjust
ing all matters as speedily as
possible.
To our good friend, Rev } E
Mahaifey, We are under great and
lasting obligation for the admir-
able manner in which he has
conducted the editorial column of
this paper, as we'll as for other
fayors rendered. We also are
indebted to our clever young
friend, Judge Wallace, for valuable
assistance in filling our columns
with readable matter.
Last, but not least, we return
grateful and appreciative thanks
to our Office force, under the
able direction of Mr. J W Car
glle-the accomplished and ver-
sstile foreman of the mechanical
Experimentation the faithful and
excellent work they have per-
formed. On Mr. Cargile the bur
den of responsibility has been
particularly heavy, he being local
editor, business manager, proof
reader, job printer and having
innumerable duties that the public
never suspects play a very i'm
portant part In the making Of a
newspaper. Any mistakes he may
have made are lost in his Jealous
and loyal service rendered when
most needed.
We would be guilty of gross
insensibility did we not give e1-
preston to the deep appreciation
in our heart for the warm well
come given us on our return
home and the many kindly offers
Of aid in the management of the
paper during our enforced ab-
sence. Words are futile to convey
the depth of our feeling and we
hope to give practical form to
our gratitude by striving more
than ever to aid in making
Williamsburg the greatest in all
our galaxy Of counties, and

WALTER CHISUM SELLS
HIS COUNTRY HOME.

Walter P. Chisum and wife have
sold to R. o. Walters, of Midland,
Tex, for a consideration of $40, 900.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chisum will move to
Roswell, having bought the Kirby
property at the corner of Kentucky
venue Inc Second street. Mr.. CHS
UNI will travel most Of the time, hav-
ing been elected Grand Lecturer of
the Masons of New Mexico at the
last session of the Grand Lodge, this
position requiring that it's holder Wis
it the various lodges of the jurisdic-
ton at stated times.
Mr.. Walters is well-to-do and has a
fine family. He and his son had been
here several days, but went to Midland
last night. They viii return' to make
their home by the first of next month.
The Chisum place consists OF 100
acres and is located about four or five
miles southeast of Roswell. 1t has a
fine residence, two artesian wells,
reservoir and other improvements. 1t
is one of finest small places in Chaves
county, n h fact that it brought
$3.50 an acre speaks well for the
country. The sale was made through
Hugh Lewis, Jr., of the Roswell Title

The Farmer Who Does.

Someone has summarized what a
successful farmer does, and states it
in this way:
He keeps good stock that respond
to their keeping and that put on the
greater percentage of meat on the
prime parts.
He puts all manure promptly on
the fields.
He rotates his crops.
He tile-drains his lands.
He keeps up good fences.
He has good pastures.
He has a good garden.
He breeds draft horses and does
farm work with brood mares and
growing colts.
He has a library with periodicals
and standard works. n a musical
instrument.
He helps his wife in the house,
when she needs it, mas a spring We
hicle for her to visit in and drives
her to church himself.
He keeps dairy cows or mutton
sheep, or both.
1t will hardly be commended, how
ever, that unless a farmer does all
these things he cannot be successful;
yet it is certainly true that among
successful farmers as a class most
OF these things are done. 1t is not al
ways necessary to drain land, for
some land does not need draining,
and as for rotation of crops that is
of local application largely. The fact
remains hat it is the farmer who
does things that gets farthest ahead.

the initial year of raising beets in

The teachers and superintendent
are not satisfied about the matter of
tardies. Ninety per cent of these tar
dies are uncalled for, because most
of the children who are tardy get to
school about three minutes late. We
would ask the parents to please CO.
operate with us in this matter and
assist the teachers in their efforts
to reduce this bad habit to a very
small minimum.
The teachers and superintendent
would earnestly request the parents
to see that their children, in all
grades above the Third, do a certain
amount Of studying at night. With
the crowded condition Of most OF the
rooms, it is impossible for the chill
dren to accomplish what they should
in their studies without this night

1t is, coming to be a pretty general
rule among newspaper publishers to
put everything on a business basis,
and to give as news only that which
is news and of real public interest,
and to charge for everything else that
in any way partakes of the character
of advertising. There is no eason
that a newspaper should contribute
without any credit to a society,
church or school than that a grocer
should SO contribute. Churches and
every other Institution or association
should pay for advertising for the
or a financial betterment just the
same as merchants.
The press is not a free horse to be
ridden without pay, and very little
credit and no profit comes from free
service. If the newspaper publisher
wants to contribute he should be per
mitted, like everyone else, to select
his own objects Of bounty and should
receive full credit for such contribu-
ton. Any other course than this cheap
ems the newspaper and it's publisher.
This same principle applies to the
treatment of public officers or the
seekers after public positions out OF
which to receive q salary and secure
fame. There is no nor reason why
a man should get his advertising for
the position OF constable OF congress
man free than that a man should get
his advertising to sell dry goods or
to sell his services as a lawyer, doc
tor, book-keeper. machinist or cook
Free.
The msn who get into Office thru |
free advertising in the newspapers |
very frequently show how little they |
consider and how meanly they esteem
the man who works, uses his invest
and influence for nothing and
pays all the expense by treating him
with contempt. or Indifference and
for little cause striving to
his business.
Naturally the newspaper owes a
to its subscribers, its constit,
nents and the public in the matter of
public ONCE and oficials, and that du-
" should be honestly and ~fearlessly
but for public good.
