the cash. %
.Chas. Thompson has recently COM
pleted a garage, machine Shed and
corn crib, and has raised up the back
portion Of his house to add two more

1t was glorious rain we had Mon
day night and Tuesday morning
about.3 inches Of water fell and the
ground is thoroughly soaked and
corn and potatoes will do well now.

Orrin, spent pleasant Sunday

very much.
Chas. Thompson gave Mr.. and Mrs.

and fairly groaned with the. deli

The Galbraith bridge over the St.
Francis river has been condemned as
unsafe to travel. The stringers are
rotten and many of the planks also,
so people now cross at their own
risk, and it's up to the town to fix up
or have new bridge. .:
The dance at the hall last Satur-
day evening was largely attended and
some of the dancers had , hilarious
time going home. It's all right to
go to Saturday night dances but
those who go should have some
respect for the people living along
the road and not make quite so
much noise when they go home on
Sunday morning.

The Clovis news. [volume] (Clovis, N.M.) 1907-1929, 1912-10-24

The remark is often made by
visitors to our town that it is a
prosperous, thriving town.
Travelling men especially, speak
Of the amount of business done
bere. The reasons for these
remarks are: That the grain
and stock buyers pay the high
est prices that the markets af-
ford, often a good deal better
prices than are paid in the.
neighboring towns. TO the
merchants also is due a share
of the credit. They carry large
and wen selected stocks, bought
30 large quantities ct close fig
pres for cash and give their
customers the advantages of
the gut prices. Nothing helps
to build upa town more than

Ia g great measure the COM
mercial standing of a town is
reckoned according to the num-
Der and value of its business
enterprises it's moral standing,
according to the number and.
power of its Institutions. Exert
ing q good influence as opposed.
to those exerting q bad. These
things being true, it should be
the intent of the citizens of a
place to encourage such new
enterprises as tend in any way
to make the place better; for a
town is greatly what its citi-
zens make it, nothing more
and nothing less.
Do you think Clovis would
have been such a little up-to-
date city as it is today if it had.
not been for the class Of ci.i-
zans with vim, push, and ener-
Icy behind it. Not at al. 1T
took more than just natural
conditions to build up the town.
Tt took effort. This is not the
time to relax in that effort. Clo-
Wis has the brightest future of
any city ia the state today,
but it will not do to remain
dormant. Wake upl Some Of
you business men. Rub your
eyes, scrape the moss chat may
have accumulated on your backs
since your last efforts and help
us to let the world know we
have the best town, the best
climate, the best water and the
best people on earth.

The lulI in business that is us
ually in evidence just before a
presidential election, has not been
experienced in Clovis. The fact
of the matter is that people are
so busy that they haven't time
to talk politics and don't care
whether it is Teddy, Taft or
Wilson.

We were a little surprised a.
few DAYS ago to find $50 lying in
the road beside the hedge at the
corner of one of our prominent
business farmers home, and the
more so to find that it had lain
there several months unmolest
ed, but beginning to look much
the worse for the exposure. The
money was in the shape of q
corn planter that win have to be
