PECOS VALLEY GREEK
MEN MEET.

A might or two 6 quite a number
of Greek-leter men held a meeting
preliminary to the establishment in
Roswell of a permanent organization
of American College men who while
in college affiliated themselves with
some college Greek-letter fraternity
of recognized national standing. Ros-
we'll being essentially a cosmopolitan
city, and there being a large percen-
tage of temporary Sojourners in our
midst practically all of the time, the
establishment of an organization OF
his kind will serve as a
medium for the renewal of college
and fraternity spirit, and for h re-
calling of many happy memories of
she days following their coating.
None but a member of a national col
lege fraternity, either academic or
professional, being eligible to mem
bership in such an association, It's
membership in a city the size of Ros-
we'll would ordinarily be very small,
but Roswell seems far ahead of the
ordinary city of it's size, as it is esti-
mated that there are between forty
and fifty men eligible to membership.
The association will probably be
known as the Pecos Valley Pan Hell
lenic, thus extending the sphere of its
activity throughout the Valley. 1t is
established as a social organization,
for the purpose of enabling its mem
bers to keep abreast of the times in
the Hellenic world, in order to extend
the glad hand" to visiting Greeks
and. to new-coming fraternity men,
contemplating residence, and for the
and traditions of Greek-letter men. j.

and hose wagon are likely to appear,
regardless of the alarm which they
have heard. The city will not be re-
sponsible for any one getting nlrt uns
der the circumstances and you should
not care, and ought not want to jeo-
pardiZe the lives of the volun0cer hre-
men of this city, and if o are good
citizens you will be more careful and
