that might have been thought too in

these forces is the alteration I'm the

Beatitude Of Love.

Give ne back that sweet beattude of love
That once was thine;
oh, give II back 10 me, or else twill break
this
Heart of mine.
The days will be so happy,
The nights will not be long,
If ! have your love to cheer me and
Make life one sweet song.
With Gods own love within our hearts
How happy We can be;
Then give me back your tenderest love-
oh, give 1t back to me.
For God Is Love, and Love is God,
Then why should we refuse
The essence of that Love He gives
In our souls TO diffuse.
Perchance the time will come too soon
When we are called to part
Then give me all that tender love

To Put in Small Tracts.

A well known Deming citizen,
who owns a large body of land
in the valley, is preparing to
cut it up in small tracts and put it
on the market. This is a move
that will be of great benefit to
the country and we are pleased
to see it being done.
When small tracts are taken
up in the valley and properly
cultivated, it will be practically
no time until the entire valley
is bloSsoming in beautiful little
farms and settled by a thrifty,
substantial class of citizens.
This is the history of other
sections that have been pulled
from the cruel and relentless
clutch of the desert, and it will
work out thus in the Mimbres
valley, many broad and fertile
acres of which yet long for the
