A stranger in Swink the first of the
week. might have wondered if he had
mysteriously dropped down into Mexico,
because of the many hombres to be seen
on the streets. The rain had caused a
halt in field work and allth beet thinners
flocked into town; besides, there are some
500 Mexioans who are working on the
Santa Fe roadbed, camped here. Alto
gether, they gave quite brownish tinge
to our complexion, states the Swink Ad-
vocate. The tinge sort of resembled the
taste acquired; did it not. Bro. Holmes?

the graciousness of Miss Beaver,
our talented voc alist, VIII o favored
the audience with three selections.
In the evening the top-liner Of
last years Chautauqua-Lincoln
Mcconnell was the lecturer, and
he drew perhaps the greatest crowd
exclusive of that out to hear Bryan
that will be gathered this year.
And as before this Southern gen.
tleman proved himself one of the
most magnetic and interesting
entertainers ON the circuit.
Mr.. Mcconnell was introduced
by Chas. f. Horner, manager of
the Redpath-Horner Chautau-
quas, who took occasion to pay a
high compliment to the people of
Rocky Ford for this most success
full Chautauqua, and to assure
them that while the system which
he had built up remained under
his control it would continue to
grow in interest and attractiveness
with each recurring year.
The Venetian Troubadours fur
nished the musical entertainment

had not the usual program been
reversed bringing them last upon
the stage, it is doubtful whether
the speakers would have had an

NOTES GIVEN FOR FIRE TRUCK
Machine Is Accepted by City. Will
Not Dispose of Horses and Wag-
ons. as Was First Intended.

Councilman Hamilton, chairman
of the fire committee, reported to the
mayor and council at their last meet
ing that the automobile hose truck
which was recently bought for the
department had been tested and &C
copied, and recommended that the
manufacturers be settled with in ac-
cordance with the terms of the pur-
chase. 1t was ordered that notes
as follows be executed and forward
ed: $1,750 due October 18th, 1912,
without interest; $4,000 due Octo-
Der 18th, 1918, with interest at 5
per cent; $4,000 due October 18th,
1914, with interest at per cent.
1t was stated when the machine
was purchased that it would enable
the city to dispose Of its fire horses
and wagons, and would be the means
of a considerable saving in the ex-
penses of the department. 1t has
been decided, however, not to dis
pose of this equipment, as it would
be needed in an emergency should
anything happen to the auto truck.
1t is reported that recently when
Americas bought an automobile
truck and disposed of its horses the
insurance companies raised their
rates in that city ten per cent.

DEATH OF MIR. CLARK PEOPLES.
One of DawsOn's Old and Esteemed
Citizens Claimed by the Reaper.

One of DaWsOn's Old and Esteemed
Citizens Claimed by the Reaper.
A death that caused many friends
genuine sorrow was that of Mr..
Clark Peoples, which occurred about
half past ten O'Clock Sunday night
at the residence of Mrs. Sallie
Crouch.
Mr.. Peoples had been in feeble
health two or three years, but was
confined to his bed only about
week. He was about IS years of
age, had been a resident of Dawson
perhaps since the earliest days of the
town, and had lived so as to win
and hold the esteem and confidence
of everyone. Quiet and unassuming
in disposition, he attended strictly
to his own affairs and took no part
in matters of a public nature. He
had never married, and no family or
relatives in Dawson survive him.
He was a member of the Metho-
dist church and Pastor E. F. Nor
gan conducted the funeral services
at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, after
which the interment took place in
Cedar Hill cemetery. AS mark
of respect the business houses of the
city were closed during the funeral
hour.

A LITTLE WHITE CAsKET.
Death of the Only Son of MIR. and
Mrs. C. NJ. Adams.

Se "
Nov. End, 191O-Aug. 18th, 1912.
The first link in the family chain was
broken when precious little Charles
Mason Adams, only son of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. NJ. Adams, fell asleep Sat
urday afternoon. God gave him to
us lust a little while, this baby with
beautiful brown curly hair and large
brown eyes. He was a picture OF
purity and Innocence that won eV-
ery heart that came in contact with
him. Too pure for this world or
sin and sorrow the Father needed
little Charles Mason, so He TOOK tnls
fawIess jewel to Himself. The nome
will be sad and silent without the
patter of baby feet, and the sun
shine of his little life. Father, moth
err and dear little Beverly, White
vour hearts are crushed and bleeding
learn the lesson of trust which the
Father would teach in this sore
bereavement. You, dear parents
poured out your hearts best love up
on your lovely boy, so the heavenly
Father loved His only son, yet lie
so loved the world that He gave him
to die for us that through faith IN
Him we might have life eternal. How
comforting to know that your BOY Is
safe in the arms of Jesus and Will De
watching and waiting at the beautl-
full gate until some day the Lord
shall say to you come up higher. One
who loved Charles Mason Adams,
MRS. ]. H. WHITCHARD.

PAY DEBTS OR LOSE JOBS

TO EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY.
Resolution Was Unanimously Adopt

RigidlY Enforced.

If there has been complain of any
of the city employees not paying their
debts as promptly as they should
there will hereafter be no cause for
it if resolution adopted by the
city council Friday night is enforced,
and it is said that the requirements
will be rigid in that respect.
At the suggestion of Councilman
Martin a resolution was unanimous
ly adopted to the effect that here
after all city employees must pay their
debts promptly or be discharged
from their positions upon evidence
being furnished that they have not
done so.
How many if any of the city
employees have been negligent in that
respect is not known, but the action
of the council will be generally ap-
proved. The idea is that a man who
is paid by the public should be equal
ly as prompt in paying the public as
he is in drawing his salary.
