the Audience Cards, Dancing and
Refreshments.

The largest social function at the
years was the New Years watch party
Tuesday evening. For the first time
in many a day the quarters were
found a little bit cramped But this
only added to the merriment of the
occasion, and the people in attend
ance had jolly good time, every one
of them.
The feature of the evening was
short but spicy entertainment in the
form Of a chorus of American cities,
popular young women of Roswell rep
resenting the different parts. Mrs.
Phil Helmig presided over the chorus,
and proposed conundrums which We're
answered by the names of the differ

song or doing a dance becoming the

For the Creole song Messrs Hedg-

had an excellent quartet, and sang
with the chorus. Messrs BARLEY and
Evans also sang.
After the program card tables were
provided for those who wished to
play, and the Norvell-Croft orchestra

Hunters Had the Proverbial Luck.
F. A. Mueller, the tailor, and E. H.
Wilkinson, the photographer, started
the new year right by going hunting.
They went out east to the PecOs, and
while they were busy hunting ducks,
their morse busted himself in getting
into a ditch. When the hunters came
back and tried to eXtricate the animal,
Mr.. Wilkinson accidentally stepped
into sink hole that let him down to
the waist in water and soft mud. He
climbed out and while walking along
trying to get warm, stepped into the
same hole, sinking deeper than he did
the first time. Their friends say Will
kinson was trying to dive after game
because they could not shoot any.
