A. j. James was down from
Moriarty last Saturday. He
raised some white beans on the
Crawford place west of Estancia,
and received SIP IL per hun
dred for them. He hauled in
two loads with pony teams that
brought him $499.00. His bean
crop on the home place southeast
of Moriarty was not much good,
the cut worms and the rabbits
almost making an end of it. He
is going to try beans there next
wear, however. He is succeed
ing well in his cheese making,
and has a greater demand for
his product than he can supply.
He is now milking about twenty
COWS, and uses all the milk for
making cheese.
The Epworth League met at
the Methodist Episcopal Parson-
age Friday evening, November
II, for a business and social
evening. An election Of officers
was held as follows: President,
Miss Annie Porter; first vice
president, Miss Ruth Crawford;
second vice president, Howard
Park; third vice president, Mrs.
Lena Amble; fourth vice presi-
dent, Miss Mayme Hayes; secre-
tary, Miss Mae Booth; treasurer,
Miss Alva Hays; superintendent
Junior League, Mrs. Florence
Abbott; organist, Mr.. Munich;
assistant organist, Miss Ruth
Crawford. Seven new mem
bers were received during the
evening. Refreshments were
served at the close of the elec-
ton of officers.
In the election table printed
last week there was a mistake in
the footing of the vote on as
SCISSOR. The vote given in the
various precincts was correct.
The correct totals were: For
Feliciano Chavez y Salas, Re-
publican, 919; for D. C. Howell,
Democrat, 713; Chavez majority
206. The totals in the table were
printed as found on record and
none of them were added to see
if they were correct. The mis-
take occurred through the cleo
ton board in one precinct trans
posing the figures in carrying out
the totals on assessor. The re-
suit as officially declared is as
published last week, but the cor
rect vote is as above given. In this
connection, the News-Herald
has been twitted with making
the mistake in the clerks GER
tifcate on the back of some of
the tickets printed for the coun-
ty whereby it appeared that the
tickets were prepared for an
election held Nov. 7. 1716, -
two hundred years ago. The
News-Herald did not print the
tickets. We believe they were
printed in Santa Fe.
