clared they meant TO support them.
The netted gem Rocky Ford canto-
loupe seems to be peculiarly adapted to
local conditions. One vine at the Danse
garden has already yielded dozen ripe
and finely-havored melons, and is still
keeping up the good work.
The new blackboards have been placed
in the school house, and are valuable

Twentieth Century dictionary has also

Mountainview people have been heart
lily loyal to this community and IL is
very pleasant TO be able 10 chronicle
the friendly feeling existing between
these neighboring communities.

her around 80 that she Is now almost
well, and the indications are that in an.
other month she will be at work as tho
nothing had ever happened to her.
The dance at the school house on the
twenty-second was an unqualified sue
cess in every way. The committee in

Claude Quigley and the attendance was
between fifty and sixty. Among the
visitors were Mrs. Leroy Hon and

Hondale; Victor Hon, Pierce Hughes

Ellington and Miss Hazel Wykof OF
Hermansa. The music was furnished
by Mr.. and Mrs. Bynum Taylor. Mr..
Ellington treated the ladies to candy
and Mr.. Chester provided the gentle
men with cigars, Everybody was jolly
and the fun continued into the ''wee
sma' hours"
Hal Kerr is the second of the candi-
dates TO canvass this portion of the
valley. Altho this is the first time in
seventeen years that he has been down
this way to stop, he is well known and
well liked. He related a rather odd
incident Of trip on the +. p. and s.
w. seven years ago, from Deming "a
Hermanas. Between Midway and Tom
erin a freight car near the middle of
the train jumped the track, broke loose
from the train and was d!tched, with
out damage to the rest of the train.
This brings TO the writer's mind a
somewhat similar occurrence on the
Wabash railroad a good many years
ago. A freight train left TT. Wayne,
Indiana, one afternoon, going east, and
when il reached the division terminus,
the conductor was surprised to FIND
that he was one car shy. Careful ex
animation of the train revealed tn,
fact that the drawhead Of the cal
behind the missing one was riding oil
top of the drawhead of the one ahead
The missing car was discovered during
the day in the ditch near Dayton. II
had jumped on down grade and thu
hind end had run up and closed thu
gap, hooking up in way little shor
OF miraculous.
