The Columbus courier. [volume] (Columbus, Luna County, N.M.) 1911-1920, 1916-12-22

No one needs an introduction to John l.. Thomas as every
body in this end of the county has known him tor four years.
Like Jess he is a native of the state of California but says that's
no reason we all should not vote for him; in fact he states that
when a man leaves California and comes to Luna county, \. NJ.
it is the best reason in the world why we should all get together
and make il unanimous. John has never been beaten in a horse
trade. and that's going some, and sees no reason why he should
be beaten for constable if Wen all cast our votes his way. He will
make an efficient officer.

H.. J. Kane. village marshal, who is very much in the race for
the office of constable, is wei! known to the people of this precinct
having resided here for about six years. While here he has been
engaged in various enterprises and has always stood square an
above-board. He is a man to whom the office of constable will
mean but a widening of his sphere of action, as in his present posi-
ton his work is confined entirely to the village. II elected h. VIII

COLUMBUS, LUNA COUNTY, N. NJ. DECEMBER

Jess Fuller. one of the candidates for constable in the coming
election, has been a resident of the Lower Mimbres for the last
three or four years and has seen Columbus grow from a small VII
lage to its present size. He is a native of the state of California
but thought so much of our country that he headed this way and
took up a homestead upon which he lust recently offered mai
proof. He is Industrious, sober and capable and Will make an
excellent officer if elected.

If the weather man will get busy and predict a heavy snow
fall on Christmas eve it will be much easier to contract the Xmas
Spirit. The people from the north and east do not realize that
that there has been a Christmas unless there Is a snow along with
it, but the Californians do not insist on the snow at all.
