NEW DIRECTORS
FOR CLOUDCROFT
Much Interest Shown-Dog
Prisoners Destroy Val
liable Pets

Cloudcroft, n. NJ, July 1.-THE prop
erty owners of Cloudcroft held the an
nuaI meeting for the election of d.
rectors. Never before in the history of
Cloudcroft was so much interest shown
in the election, which resulted in the
choice of the following men for the
ensuing year:
DR.. H. E. Stevenson. W. G. Roe. J.
A Tatum. W. H Long, G. A Breck
heimer.
The new directors held meeting i'm
mediately and elected the following Of
ficers:
W. G. Roe. president; W. H. Long.
vice president; ]. A. Tatum, secretary
and treasurer.
The retiring directors levied the first
tax on the property owners for i'm
provements. 1t was largely through
their efforts that the FL Paso and
Southwestern was induced to put in the
sewer system in Cloudcroft and north
Cloudcroft, During the winter they
had all the dead timber and brush
burned, in this way making Cloud
croft safer from the danger of fire.
They also forced every one to keep the
premises clean, in this way making
Cloudcroft a more sanitary place, and
a much pleasanter pace to live in.
-Sully,' W. G. Dunn's valuable bull
terrier, was poisoned last week, and
after living several days, died in great
agony from the effects of ground glass
and mercury. "Sully" was a favorite
with many children in both FL Paso
and Cloudcroft and everyone was very
sorry to hear of his death. 'Sully" was
not the first dog to be poisoned this
summer. The people who spend the
summer in Cloudcroft think 1t is an
outrage that they are unable to bring
their valuable dogs with them without
subjecting them to such contemplate
actions

The sight worth while when

the Statue Of Liberty. You, no

It is so large and beautiful and

the coast in the distance. The
next day We stopped at Antilla
in Cuba. We saw sugar planta-

and vegetation. The steamer
anchored in the harbor and the
passengers went ashore in Il
launch. We stayed on board.
The next day we docked at
Kingston. Jamaica. and stayed
over night We got off there and
took Il car ride. Many ruins of
the earthquake of 1907 remain,
but most of the city is newly
built. The houses are nearly all
white, and Oh the style of the
white Worlds Fair buildings.
The town is at the waters edge,
and is surrounded OF three sides
by mountains.
After We left Kingston we had
some rather rough sailing. There
are 50 many different currents in
the water there that it gives the

The next morning we had a man
