added much to the impressiveness of
the service.
Ihe untimely death of John Houghton
mas removed from our congregation a
very useful and devoted man, one whom
we shall grievously miss. His devotion
to our church sprung from his deep
conviction that there was a work which
the church alone can do and that any
railing off in the attendance of our SER
wees must surely coincide with a grad
ual decrease of general morality.

About $50 persons were present at the
Grange dance Sept. 5 and the financial
returns were very gratifying. Repre-

tables were decorated handsomely with
ferns and flowers and walters deftly
passed plenty of delicious edibles. At
the close of the repast Mr. Knight made
pleasing speech, expressing the sem
timents of his party and what it stood
for, and he proposed a toast to the
health of the ladies who had done so
much to make the entertainment sue
cess, and this was drunk standing
Great credit is due Mrs. Miller of New

sentative Dummerston has had in 70
years or since his father served in that
capacity The next Grange dance will
be held Friday evening, Sept 20.

w. c. Mcdonald Duly
Inaugurated Governor.

William G. Mcdonald first Gov
ernor Of the state of New Mex
leo was duly inaugurated last
Monday, January 18th, 1912.
Mr. Mcdonald is an old resi-
dent of New Mexico having
lived here for enough years that
he knows her people and her
hopes and her fears and her
possibilities we'll. He is the man
in the new state to whom the
people must look and do look,
without reguard to polotics. re
lieion, race or color. as the pilot
of the great ship which was
laGnched when President Taft
signed his name to a proclama-
nation ending territorial rue.
Mr.. Mcdonald has a difficult
position. It is a position that
requires strength Of character,
mental balance fearless courage.
The old past whereby NewMexico
was governed from washington,
has ceased, and if the new state
is to go forward and to prosper
and progress she must chart a
course and hold to it.
The governor, it is true. has
not the power to accomplish all
that the new state may need he
is but the head Of the other state
officers and Of a legislature which
has in its hands the lawmaking
powers.
But state officials, legislature
and the people who believe in
the future Of the state and who
want to see the state grown and
prosper should now join hands,
cast aside all chickering's ard
work for the one end. New
Mexican.
