A number of the young folks of
Washburn have been receiving
private lessons in the charm dance.
These instructions will not be nee
essary after reading the following
from the Eddy County Provost:
The young people of Eddy county
are all, or nearly all, interested in
the newest thing in the poetry of
moticn," which is known as the
"barn dance" It is said to have
been originated by DR.. Mckenzie
and a young lady of this city.
The dance is easy, if you know
how. All you have to do is to put
your arm around the girl, make a
noise like a COW, then take three
steps toward the watering trough.
Then eat a small amount of bran
mixed with two hops and portion
Of baled hay. Then you walk as
nearly like a chicken as possible,
turn two handsprings, kick like a
balky horse and go back to your
pew with a stock food smile on
your thoroughly warmed-u up count
enance.
