A Trip To The Country

Tuesday of this week of this
6. w. Manning and John
Bracket made a business trip into
to the eastern part OF the county
and their experience is as fol-
lows.
The first thing we experienced
was the crossing on the Ponil, just
northeast OF the city, about one
mile. After crossing the creek
we were in a mud hole about one
hundred yards. tits on one Of the
main roads into town and il is in
frightiul condition, there were
two buggies and one wagon stuck
fast in the mud. II is a place
that should be fixed. We noticed
that all the cattle on the range be-
tween Cimarron and the Vermeio
were as fat as seals and that the
grass all over the prairie was near
y a foot high. After crossing
the Vermeio we were in the farm
ing district, where all kinds OF farm
produce was in its prime. Wheat,
oats, barley and alfalfa were never
better. Mexican beans will be a
great crop in that vicinity this
wear. We arrived at Maxwell at
1890. Saw several OF the Cimar-
ron boys there. Joe Menapace
has his new brick saloon building
very near completed. At 1890 we
left Maxwell and drove east into
the dry farming district, and were
sure surprised to see what fine
crops they had there. The oats
barley and beans are certainly
fine. At AGO we reached the
ranch home of Mr.. Wade Bracket
one of the most beautiful places in
New Mexico. Mr.. Bracket has
fifty acres OF corr which he thinks
will yield at least forty buseels
per acre. 1t was on this ranch
that Miss Veletta Brackett lost her
life last week by being thrown
from a horse"

CoIOrs 10 Wear.

In spite Of advice to the contrary
blondes should avoid the lighter shades Of
blue, which make their compilations seem
ashen. The darker shades, however, throw
the complexion in high relief and are
vastly becoming
True bruuettes should not wear blue,
which makes the skin yelower ;han ever,
but fiorid brunettes can do so. Blondes
may wear green. but not bruneItes. Pale
ibrunettes may wear any shade of red but
,climsOn, which, however, looks well on the
blond. Yellow is the best color for pale
brunettes. especially for evening wear. 1t
clears the complexion and sets off the
dark eyes and hair wonderfully.
