ASSOCIATION MEETING
All StOckmen Are Cordially Invited
to Meet Together on "Asso-
citation Day"
IN MACDALENA ON MARCH rs
Both Buyers and Sellers Will Be
There and Arrange Schedule of
Prices.

Notice is hereby given, aud
the attention of every stock
owner in New Mexico respectful
ly called to the fact, that the
seventh regular annual conven-
tion of the Cattle and Horse Pro-
tective Association of Central
New Mexico will be held at Mag
dalena, New Mexico, on Wednes-
day, March IS, 1908.
All stockmen are cordially in
vited to meet with us on the
date, which will be known as
Association Day." and exchange
greetings and ideas for the sea-
son.
1t is intended to have all pros
pective cattle and horse buyers
present, to give both parties the
rare opportunity of buying or
selling where one can meet the
best possible advantage. Cattle
men, at present, are undecided as
to the prices steers will command
this season; this is one of the
reasons which make this the
most important meeting of the
year, and every wideawake
stockman should take advantage
of this opportunity, which comes
only once a year, to help his fell
low stockmen in determining
upon prices that will be right,
both to purchaser and vender.
1t is safe to say that all the
representative cattle and horse
men in the southwest, and many
from Kansas and Colorado and
other sections, will be in attend
ance. With the certainty of a
record breaking season establish
ed, 1t only looks reasonable that
we, who are most benefited,
should have kind of jollitica-
tion meeting and figure what our
profits will be. Beyond question
we can all stand the nominal eX-
pense attached to the trip, for
one day, If for no other reason
than helping establish set prices
for the season, as it is safe to
say that the association stuff will
be among the very first to sell,
and others will not be likely to
ask either more or less than we
get. Should you remain away,
and miss the opportunity of do
ing a good stroke of business OF
some kind you will kick your
self" for the rest of the year.
The citizens of Magdalena
have promised to take the best
care of their guests, and we are
certain that they will make this
promise good.
We hope to meet you, one and
all, on Association Day" and
guarantee to extend the hand OF
good fellowship to all alike.
Yours for success,

DIR. BLACKINGTON DEAD
His Earthly Career Closed Sunday
Morning, March 10, after Very
Short Illness,
SURVIVED WIFE TWO WEEKS
Came to socorro County in 1875.
Practiced His Profession. Was
Prominent in Politics.

Surprise and sorrow were caused
in Socorro last Sunday morning
by the announcement that DIR.
Charles +. Blackington had sud-
denly passed away at his home
in the city. While Doctor Black
ington had had several spells of
sudden illness that came very
near resulting in death and while
it was known that he was afflict-
ed with a weakness of the heart
that might take him away at any
time almost without warning,
still so sudden a taking off can
never fail to create exactly the
impression that Doctor Backing
toms did in Socorro. The inn
preston was greatly deepened,
too, by the fact that Mrs. Black
ington had been called to her
final home only little more than
two weeks before.
Charles +. Blackington was
born in Union, Maine, sixtv-seven
years ago. In 1862 he enlisted
as a private in Company G.,
Fifteenth Maine Infantry. He
was discharged two years later.
He re-enlisted as first sergeant in
the same company and was again
discharged in 1866 at Charleston,
South Carolina. He then went
to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where he
worked on the Union Pacific rail-
road until 1874. In the following
year he came to Socorro county
and engaged in stock raising,
saw milling, and the practice of
his profession. He was justice
of the peace at Magdalena and
Kelly from 1879 to 1882, sheriff
OF Socorro county from 1898 to
1902, and county physicion at the
time of his death. Doctor Black
ington was greatly esteemed by
the Spanish speaking people of
the county especially. AS far as
is known here, his only living
relatives are two brothers in
Maine.
Doctor Blackington was married
in 1882 to Miss Rhoda Martin.
Two children were born of the
union, both dying in infancy.
Funeral services we're conducted
from the residence on McCutchen
avenue Monday afternoon and all
that was mortal of Doctor Black
iugton was laid to rest in Socorro
cemetery in the pesence of large
number of friends who had
gathered to pay this last tribute
of respect to his memory. The
only attendant bound to the
deceased by the slightest family
tie was Miss Felipa Blackington,
an adopted daughter, who was
faithful to her parents by adop
tion even unto death.

The readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in

BIG BLAZE AT SAN MARCIAL
Two Houses Burn to the Ground
and Only Hard Work Saves
Adjoining Property.

According to press dispatches
from San Marcial the town had a
bad blaze Tuesday morning.
Says one of the dispatches:
About ten minutes after g
o'clock this evening San Marcial
witnessed the hottest and most
dangerous conflagration since the
old Santa Fe station burned six
years ago. An explosion of a
gasoline stove in the house owned
by George w. Bowden and oc-
cupied by Santa Fe Chief Dis
patcher J. II. Finan, started the
blaze which communicated itself
to the adjoining house occupied
by F. H. Richards and owned by
Mrs. M. ID. Wells. of FL Paso.
Both we're frame buildings and
both will be a total loss, while
only the contents of Mr.. Richards
residence were saved. 1t looked
for a time as If the fire depart
ment would be unable to keep the
flames from spreading to the resi-
dence of II. Bonem, adjoining
the Richards house, and the con-
tents of the Bonem house were
removed. This proved unneces'
sary, luckily, as the fire was
brought under control. The two
houses were burned clear to the
ground. While the loss will be
many thousand dollars It could
not be estimated this evening"

The Airship Menace.

Before Mother Shipton rode her
broomstick over into the land Of GER

the coming of both the submarine and
the airship. Why did she not foresee
some effective check on the airship 40

French war departments airship, be-
fore escaping the other day, picked up
its half-dozen men and changed its
station from the capital to Verdun,
$50 miles nearer to the German from
tier, between S:45 in the morning and
3:45 in the afternoon. The craft COW

more than 25 miles an hour without

maintained an elevation generally
above 1000 yards. Now, the best pro-
vision so far made against the dirigi

German armored automobile, and that
can disable an airship only if it flies
lower than 1000 yards. Militant
