He held the latter office until his death- Two months previous to his death he walked to church, half a mile distant where for the last time he partook of the holy Sacrament in the temple where Gods honor dwell leth, to which place he delighted to resort to behold the beauty of the Lord, and inquire in his temple.
 (The deceased was a relative of Deputy Judge Frank l.. Wilder of the city court in this city. Deputy Judge Wilder's family came to this city from Winchendon, in the western part of Massachusetts and near the State Line. I'm looking mp the history of the Wilder famaly it has been found that they were all of fine intellect and industrious. There were four Wilder families in New England and there were four Judges or Justices of the Peace in the four families. One came from each family, not of each gene ration. From investigation of the ancestors of Deputy Judge Frank LA Wilder it has been found that the de- ceased Justice was great-grand un- c1e of the grand-uncle of Judge Frank Ls WfldeRss grandfa6her-Ed.1

PARTIAL CROP REPORT

We are beginning to receive reports
from different portions of the county
as to what has been raised and is be-
ing marketed.
Alfred Gibbons of Sedan has Ia
tons of fine broom corn and acres of
beans, which will net him a tidy sum.
Frank Martinez, living at Delfn, rails
ed 40 acres of fine wheat, which test
ed 60 pounds to the bushel and yield
ed % bu. per acre. This, at $l.5O
per bu. will not be a bad summers
work. Frank Hoover near town has
80 acres of the finest beans. There
were As pods on one stalk or enough
for large meal for a family. c. D
Virgins of Tate has fine beans, can
taloupes and Sudan grass. The su
dan he was quite disgusted with early
in the season as it seemed to be at {
standstill, and he was tempted t
plow it up He left it as an expert

eve can illustrate our prosperity
by the following little joke. Three
little girls were being asked by their
teacher what they had to be thankful
for. The first one had big blue eyes
that were a source of admiration to
her friends. The second had long
brown hair that won for her much
admiration. The third was freckled,
red-headed and very homely
"Now Mary, said the teacher, what
are you thankful for?" "Why, teach
er, am thankful for my blue eyes
that my friends admire so much"
Sand Sue, what are you thankful
for?" Why, teacher, for my pretty
brown hair that they say is so beauti-
full"
Sand, Sally, what are you thankful
for?" "Nothin' teacher, God purt
near ruint me-"
And thisis the case with the Wilson
administration The Steel and am
muntion factories and the Standard
Oil have great reason to be thankful,
but the common people, like the
freckled girb are nearly 'ruint.'"

suit. There were no mandamus suits
brought for the very good reason that
it was well known that such a suit
could not be maintained. Therefore,
the tax speculator could not "have
much success" in Colfax county. LAST
year when the Citizen called atten-
tion to these matters, and prior to
doing so its editor at that time beg
ged that no such action as was taken
be taken in the premises,) in order to
save the taxpayer as much as possible
after such action had been taken, it
was "set upon" by the so-called "of- =
fetal organs" by all the lying abuse
at their command while the tax spec
ulator reaped, and is still reaping, a
rich harvest in Union county under
jimmycratic administration, that was
denied him in Colfax county under the
republican administration, and Union
county could and would have had, for
the mere asking, the same advice and
support. Now, Mr.. Union County Vo-
ter, no matter whether you call your
a republican, democrat, socialist or
a jimmycrat, do you think you are
ever going to have anything any bet
ter in Union county under jimmycratic
rule? We tell you Nay. Do you want
a continuance of these czardic condi-
tions? There is at present no demo-
cracy in action in Union county, the
State of New Mexico, nor the United
States of America. Don't mistake
Jimmyocraey for democracy. Jim
myocracy is now in the saddle. Do
you want to keep it there? If you
do then vote the jimmycratic ticket
from constable to president. If you
do not, then vote for o. L. Phillips

county and would have done the same
thing for Union had he been asked,

Gentlemen:
Certain complaints have been re-

Union County. This publication was
printed in the July 22nd., 1916 issue

"This publication should have been
made or commenced within forty-five
days after June 1st., 1915, instead of
1916. The statutory provisions regu-
lating it are found in Chapter SO of
the 1915 laws of New Mexico.
"The publication is grossly padded

olatlon of the provision OF the statute
"Eor instance, the descriptions Of
each parcel of property, on which tax

"Such notice shall contain an al

the owners of the property notice
of the sale of which is advertised,
