In the busy rush Of events that
are making the great Mimbres Val
ley famous, the things that have
given the Hub City a reputation OF
being one Of the most hospitable
towns in the sunshine state, are
quite often overlooked. and 1t be-
comes the duty Of well-regulated
newspapers to enliven public senti-
ment.
One Of the greatest factors Of
ood-fellowship In Deming for the
past twelve years, has been the
Adelphi Club. which Is now spoken
of by prominent men about the
country as the best regulated mems
club in New Mexico. DIR. Moir
overheard Judge Holt. Of Las Cru
ces, make such a remark only few
days ago.
