McEntaggart-Lucero

When a man crosses the Atlantic
pond and then comes clear across
the U. S. A. and lands in Clayton n.
NJ, just for the sole purpose of TAX
ing unto himself a wife, we call it
going some"
We were agreeably surprised this
week TO learn that our we'll known
young Irishman, John McEntaggart,
had stolen away TO Dalhart where
he had one of those famous nuptiaI
knots tied around himself and one
of ClaytOn's young ladies, Miss Fe-
licicita Lucero. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Father Murphy
on the lawn of the Catholic parson-
age at Dalhart.
The "hu" ban rendered the old
fashioned practice of kissing the
bride out of the question, the matri-
monial party-even the minister
being compelled TO wear masks. Any
way, we extend 10 the young couple
all good words and wishes that are
usually extended on occasions of
this kind.

Carl Easley of Trinidad, Dead

I'm the columns of ChrOnicle-News
of Trinidad, Colorado, under date
of December 10th, is an account of
the death Of Carl V. Easley, head of
the Easley Produce Co. of that city.
This news will come as a shock to
the merchants of Clayton who were
so well acquainted with Mr.. Easley,
most of them having done a large
amount of business with him during
the last four years. He was a shrewd
business man and very capable, and
was only twenty-six years of age at
the time of his death.
He started a produce business in
Trinidad about five years ago, on
practically no capital, and in very
short time ranked as the equal and
in may cases the peer of any of the
old established produce houses of
Colorado and New Mexico. He made
his business through his own efforts,
and for some time we are advised,
his sales averaged from $4,000 TO
100000 per month. Mrs, Easley took
an active part in the business and
shares in the glory of his achieve
ments. She is a daughter of Mrs. L..
Bradley, who lives in the Union
Ridge community about five miles
east of Clayton.

OFFICIAL CANVASS Of
THE VOTE IN THE STATE

Santa Fe, Dec. iO.-The state can
vassing board met the past week and
officially canvassed the vote cast in
New Mexico on Tuesday, November
8, by counties, for United States SEN
ator congressman and all state Off
GERS. The result of the canvass
shows that a grand total of 46,792
ballots were cast, compared with
$1,000 votes polled in the 1916 pres
idential election, falling off in the
state vote of 10000, due chiefly TO
soldiers called into the military and
naval service as a result of the war.
The socialist party polled less than
1000 votes, as against a normal vote
in previous years of 1000, A. II.
Moulton, this party's candidate for
governor, polled the largest number
of socialist votes, 8l7.
That the people of New Mexico
thought the present an inopportune
time to vote 100000 in bonds for an
addition to the state capitol building
was conclusively shown by major
ity vote against the bond issue of
5000. A number of the northern
counties voted against the bond issue
in addition to the southern counties.
The total vote polled by each can

cratic tickets, with "'~ alities of

where they will make their home,
but here's hoping they will continue
to live somewhere close To- Clayton.
Eddie is nineteen years of age, and
Josephine only seventeen; but so
much the better for them both, as
opinions formed while people are
young last much longer than the
same opinions and ideas formed in
after years. We extend hearty con-
gratulations.
