Gossip

They say,'' Have you heard?" Two wee phrases s-five short words! But they have done more damage than all the diction- ary rolled together. They have wrecked homes and broken hearts They have ruined promising ca reers and thrown business firms into bankruptcy, They have dis rupted churches and plunged old friends into bitter legal fights. They have driven men to drink and women to insanity. They have robbed innocent little children of their parents and sent young girls broken hearted and unwedded to their graves. They have turned merely foolish girls into wicked ones and have sent men to prison. More and more does the world re- cognize the power of thought to influence the actions of those over whom it is held. Gossip is evil thought emphasized. It implants ideas in minds where no such thought existed, no such desire lodged. .-S.

Thirty-Five Years Ago.
From Eearld File, Oct. 2, 1886

From Eearld File, Oct. 2, 1886
 The outstanding feature of this
 weeks issue is the nomination o1 the Winslow ticket. J. H. Breed for legislative councilman; J. O. Adamson and John T. Hogue, as. semblymen; Robt. E. Morrison. county judge; Harris Baldwin, district attorney; Commodore P. Owens. sheriff; E. w. Nelson, re. corder; J T. Lesueur, treasurer, A. V. Greer, Assessor; David Rope, T. J. Mccormick and J. H. Richards, supervisors and G. A. Kentner, surveyor.
 The Herald also calls attention to young Mark A. Smith, who is making his first race for delegate to congress and c. c. Bean was his republican opponent.
 A local article tells that Nat Greer had just taken two prizes at the Albuquerque fair-one for roping throwing, saddling and riding a broncho and one for rop- ing throwing and tying a steer. The paper remarkes that his brother. Dick Greer, took the same prizes year before.
 The Herald tells of a newcomer who had just called into get ac- quainted and subscribe for the paper. It was A. H. Pratt, an educated young New Yorker who had just come west and bought a cattle ranch and cattle. For 25 years Mir. Pratt took a prominent part in the affairs of Apache county.
 Colomo 6 Co.,, were St. Johns merchants of those days. The store of Rosalio Colomo was in the building at the corner of Water 6 Commercial streets. where the Herald was long published.
 This issue of the Herald tells of the killing of J. G. Berry by Patrick M a h CT at Emigrant Springs, near the railroad. Maber had previously broken up Berry's home. Maher had not been taken into custody, but the article re- marks that rumors are out that the courts will not be bothered with trying Maher.

An article in the Gallup Herald

states that our state engineer,
 Thomas Maddock, was in Gallup
 arranging to do some work on the
 Holbrook- Gallup road.
 The supposition is that Gallup
 and other towns in Arizona will
 put up some money and the state
 engineer aiso use some state funds
 and match the amount with Fed
 eral Aid money which is allotted
 to this county. This money has
 been held for us for over two years it is not at all unlikly that we will lose it unless we take steps at once to match it.
 Our 5 per cent bonds cannot be sold to good advantage as they will only bring from 75 to 80 cts. while 6 per cent bonds would sell for 90 or 95 cents, under these conditions it will be necessary to vote new bonds.
 We cannot afford to lose the Federal Aid money especially at this time when we need the roads and the money will provide labor for the unemployed men.
 The state engineer has made the statment, that if we failed to take the balance of the S150, 900 set aside for us. we might be bar red from securing any government money in the near future. Now it would be wise to drop all side roads temporarily and take them up later, and take prompt action to vote bonds for the main high way. No greater calamity, against progression, could befalI Apache county, than to lose our good roads and the opportunity 1 5o secure this Federal Aid money which is always the largest part expended.
 Fellow citizens in Apache coun- y isn't it time that we quit play ng the dog in the manager and | III go to work with a united effort | or the upbuilding of Apache no natter what it may be if fitis to the interest and betterment of an y l ,art of the county, for if we are lot benefited directly we are in-
