pe!o Cotton Exchange was called
by President Motlow. Mr.. Atkin-
son. Secretary of the Mississippi
cotton Association, was intro
Juced and told of the object and
hopes of this Association. Some
of the matters under considera-
tion now are the modifying OF
the Expense Bill evil which is

against the railroads and cotton
buyers, under Interstate Ruling
No. 76, the tare. proposition. the
non-allowance of Southern cotton
shippers in arbitrations on cot
ton shipments made to the East.

Mrs. Nancy Jane Hall.

Died, at Sherman, Miss, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Nurdock, September 1st. Mrs.
Nancy Jane Hall in the 88th year
of her age. In the passing away
of Mrs. Hall one of the land
marks of North Mississippi has
been removed. Mrs. Hall was
born in Rockingham county, N.
c., in 1924. In 1889 she was
married to w. F. Hall and from
this union IL children were born,
A of whom survive. These are
A. w. Hall. of Tupelo; Mrs. w.
P. Davis, Blue Springs; Mrs.
Julia L. Murdock, Sherman, and
Mrs. Charley Yancey, of Ripley.
In 1856 the family moved to
North Mississippi and for "a
years Mrs. Hall has lived in and
near Sherman. Early in life she
became member of the Metho-
dist church and throughout the
years she has zealously labored
IN her Masters vineyard. In the
passing away Of this devout
christian the community loses a
bright light in the church and
one whose influence was always
felt for the good. Nearly CEN
tury she was spared to her family
and friends, and as the autumn
approaches how fitting it seems
that In the scar and yellow leaf
she should join the rest of nature
in the sleep that follows.

he is quoted as speaking of this val.

Gone Busted"

Foreclosure proceedings on the
bonds of the Laplata Land and lrri-
cation company will be instituted in
the next few days by Arthur Pons-
ford as attorney for the Denver Ma
tional bank, the international Trust
company of Denver, the First Ma
tional bank of Durango, and X. II.
Hutton, a member of the Denver
club.
The three banks in Denver and
Durango came into possession of a
majority of the irrigation concerns
bonds November 90 at an auction
sale held in the Offices of Attorney
Ponsford. The irrigation company
placed its bonds as collateral secur-
ity for loans from the banks. 1t
failed to meet these loans upon ma
turity and the banks foreclosed on
the collateral. Their next step will
be to foreclose on the bonds.
The land in dispute lies south Of
Durango in New Mexico. The pro-
motors of the company had planned
to irrigate the land in connection
with the Colmex dam which is loca-
ted near the Colorado.New Mexico
border. The water was to be taken
from the Laplata ditch near the
town of Hesperus. Pennington En-

Millionaires

Deming is centrally located in one
Of the largest and be-: areas in the
state. The Mimbres Valley, which
practically covers the whole of Luna
county, gives us the right zone for
the most healthful climate in the
world.
II has been said climate is So per
cent of ones happiness" Surely
we have it here. The mean temper
ature for 1910 was 59.6; the highest
81 in July and the lowest 81 in De-
cember, neither too hot nor too
cold. This alone will make the
Borderland Route the most desirable
the year round. Besides, the old
California trail follows the Southern
Pacific railroad, which is probably
the best graded of any road to the
Pacific coast, with no snowdrifts nor
bad storms to hinder travel at all
seasons of the year. No doubt
there will in time be various ocean
to ocean routes, but the Borderland
has so many natural advantages the
way is easy and sure.
Deming is the railroad center and
the largest and best city between FL
Paso and Tucson. This route is
good, the grade level and the eli.
mate ideal the year round.
The location and environments of
Deming will make it the best city in
New Mexico. Some of the reasons
are cited above; perhaps the far
reaching and natural cause is the
fact that the Southern Pacific rail-
road traverses the only due east and
west route through the state, having
a natural pass via Yuma. The heavy
mountain range through the west
part of the state prohibits easy
access for any kind of roads. and
the high altitude in these mountains
makes cold winters, snow and snow
drifts. All the other railroads
traverse the state from the north
and northeast and center at FL Paso,
becoming feeders to the Southern
Pacific.
Nature has done much for us,
more than we now think of or value.
You who were first here got your
home of Uncle Sam, not thirty
miles from a railroad to pine your
lives away in solitude, but in sight
of one of the main highway arteries
of the world. teeming with business
and bringing your friends, thous-
ands of them. to follow. The auto
passing your door every hour in the
day, better broaden your fields,
plant more fruit, buy another COW,
and add few hens for motorists
who will be your welcome guests.
Coupled with rich soil, pure wa
ter and an ideal climate, we have
the spontaneous combustion of ma
ture to go on to victory and a happy
eternity. d. l.. POM.

Every Christmas is saddemed by
the deaths of many children in fires
caused by the candles or decora-
tions of the Christmas tree Guardian
angels of children and good luck are
not trusted by sensible folks at
Christmas. They take pains to pro-
tect their children and homes from
juvenile carelessness. No risk should
be incurred that could possibly turn
the home of merriment into a home
OF mourning. Prudence is the sole
means of parents securing them
selves from blame and the possibili-
ty of lifelong regrets.

thawed out in cold weather Ina
gine what a loss might ensue If
the firemen upon arriving at the
scene of fire had to stop to thaw
out a hose or a nozzle. That's Just
what is likely to happen.
Another thing badly needed and
has been agitated for long time
is a hand chemical. Many a small
fire could be put out with one Of
these without much damage to pro-
perty. As it is now no matter how
small the fire might be the only
thing available is the hose, and in
many cases the damage by water is
far greater than that by the fire.
Very few people seem to know
that there is an organized fire COM
pany in this city, who is working
without cost to any one trying to
build up a system of fire protection.
AS a body or individual they are
hardly recognized in their calling.
Let them seek aid from property
owners for some benefit and they
are given the icy nit, and in case of
fire, after they risk their lives to
save property, they are the subject
OF criticism for what they did and
for what they did not do. There Ia
always some spectator who could
have done It better.
whenever a fire breaks out it sets
people to thinking for little while,
and then everyone has something to
offer for better fire protection, but
as time drags on without any disas-
ter they get indifferent to this mat
ter and We never think of what
might happen in the future, and
when it does come We are not pre-
pared
This is a matter OF great concern
to everyone, especially the people in
the business district. We need bet
ter fire protection and need it right
away. The mayor and the council
should see that the needs of the
fire department are properly looked
after, and cooperate with them in
matters they are trying to work out
which may be the salvation of our
city some day Its up to us to pre-
pare for the worst and the council
could not spend a couple of thou
sand dollars to better advantage
than by sinking it into some new
and up-to-date fire apparatus.

CHRISTMAS DON'Ts.

Don't leave the cost mark or
presents.
Don't let Christmas giving deter.
iorate into trade.
Don't let money dominate you,
Christmas giving.
Don't embarrass yourself by Civ
ing more than you can afford.
Don't. expect to receive as much
as you give, as the odds are on the
disappointment.
Don't acquire your Yuletide be-
fore the fun of Christmas actually
begins. No Christmas is fulfilled
when the celebrant is filled full.
Don't be the first to tell child
there is NO Santa Claus If you have
to lie about it lie, and lie as attrac-
lively as your education will permit.
Don't eat your Christmas dinner
in restaurant if you can find any
old home that you may eat it in for
a Christmas dinner in a home is
worth two in the bush.
Don't let your Christmas go by
without giving some sort of present
to a child. The excuse that you
know no children will not suffice.
You can know plenty OF them be-
tween now and the day OF days.
Don't decide to abstain from CIV
ing just because you cannot afford
expensive presents. The thoughtful
ness of your gift, the interest you
take in those to whom you give,are
the principal things. The intrinsic
value of your gift counts very little.
Don't give things because they
are cheap and make big show for
the money. AS a rule, it is a dan
gerous thing to pick up lot of all
sorts of things at bargain sales for
Christmas presents. If you do there
is always the temptation to make in
gifts.
