"There are two things that menace

duced in the modern Garden of Eden,
he had come to doubt his doubt. He
have been greater than man could
resist. The apple offered him by Eve
might have been an Arkansas Black

The greater part of Mr. Sutherland's s
talk was in a lighter vein, serving
mainly for entertainment. He felt
that it would be impertinent for him
to advise the voting of taxes when
he probably never would help to pay
them. However, the city and locality,
he said, were known far and wide
for progress. He had met men ON the
trains in Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa and
elsewhere who talked as if they knew
all about Roswell and the Pecos Val
ley and they were preparing to come
and settle here. The Commercial Club
should keep up the work it is now
doing, and never take a step back

He had a circular given him on the
train at Elida, which showed that the
people of that little village are boost

vote bonds for school house, and
industries. 1t is the spirit of Ameri-
can cities that win to be always
reaching out and building up at home
Roswell has splendid prospects, he
said. "You want a healthful city. You
have the healthiest climate in the
world already, and certainly with
proper sanitary measures your people
should die only of old age He prais-
ed the Military Institute. the public
schools, the three strong banks and
great mercantile houses of Roswell,

duty upon you not to allow the city

in ten years Roswell would be a city
of twenty thousand population. Water
works, sewers, good streets and side
walks. he declared, all help to build
up city. You live in a great valley
that is rich in resources, and only
the future, and your own energy and
enterprise can determine the possi-
bilities of development"

in 1896 and 1900 placed the state of

He reports that already the people of

men come from all parts of the coun-

with the show. Roswell and the Pc

when it comes to doing their part in
the exhibit for the congress. Nothing
less than the best will satisfy this

THE LID ON
TOMORROW

Tomorrow has promise of being
the quietest Sunday Roswell has wit
messed in many day. According to
arrangements made today the lid
is to go ON in several lines of busi-
ness, some of which have always had
their best trade on the Sabbath.
Agreements to keep closed on Sun
day until further notice have been
signed by all the exclusive cigar and
tobacco dealers, confectioners and
drug stores. The uptown hotels have
agreed not to sell cigars, except The
Gilkeson, which is still considering
the movement. The two bakeries
have mutually agreed to remain clos
ed The butcher shops are still con-
siderilg the proposition. The livery
stables stand pat and will continue
open for business, they say, basing
their action partly on the fact that
they have to stay open for their
boarding horses regardless of the
law
The movement comes in this way
from the merchants themselves, but
was hastened, 40 doubt by the threat
of w. r. Cummins, who served notice
a few days ago that he would make
legal complaint against any who re-
manned open on Sunday. Many people
step toward prohibition of the liquor
traffic, basing their reasoning upon
the fact that Mr.. Cummins is a sa-
loon man and stirred UP the matter
to get even" because saloons are
closed on Sundays.
Following are two OF the agree
ments that were signed up today:
Druggists Agreement.

Roswell, N. NJ, agree to close our
