Frank McConnell left for her home at Toronto, Canada, Sunday evening. Mrs. J. Muralter, who had spent some weeks in Las Cruces, in the interest of her health, at the home of Mrs. Bennett, left Saturday night for Santa Fe. Las Cruces has a ball nine now duly organized.

Every friend of the Agricultural college at Las Cruces should get to work and help raise a fund to meet the shortage to the government. If this is not done, the territory may lose this excellent institution of learning - Citizen. J. P. Casey was the sole representative of the Dona Ana county democracy who attended the Albuquerque convention, so we are informed. The democratic county convention was held this week at some time and some place, when and where half the democrats don’t know. Truly the democracy in this county, that used to have every corral in town filled with voters on election day, is on the wane. An interesting case went to trial Thursday afternoon. The defendants are three Mexican boys charged with breaking into a bonded car at Engle last December for the purpose of ridding. They are ably defended by Attorney Baca of Socorro. They admit entering, but not the criminal part, breaking the seal. Several railroad men were down from San Marcial as witnesses, and also Sheriff Blackington of Socorro. Good Words. T. B. Metcalf, who has opened up a furniture store and undertaking establishment at Las Cruces, and who was at the place for a week past getting the business started, returned to Albuquerque this morning to look after his interests in the furniture store on Gold avenue. As soon as he can make satisfactory arrangements, he intends moving his family to the Mesilla valley city to make his future residence. From a business standpoint Mr. Metcalf declares that Las Cruces is one of the coming towns of the south-west - Citizen. We are pleased to note the above mentioned gentleman will settle in Las Cruces. There is no exclusive furniture store and undertaking establishment in town and we believe the gentleman has made an opportune opening. El Paso firms have heretofore held a cinch on the undertaking business. The Best Remedy for Rheumatism Quick Relief From Pain. All who use Chamberlain’s Pain Balm for rheumatism are delighted with the quick relief from pain which it affords. When speaking of this Mr. D. N. Sinks of Troy, Ohio, says; Some time ago I had a severe attack of rheumatism in my arm and shoulder. I tried numerous remedies but got no relief until I was recommended by Messrs. Geo. F. Parsons & Co., of this place, to try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. They recommended it so highly that I bought a bottle. I was soon relieved of all pain. I have since recommended this liniment to many of my friends who agree with me that it is the best remedy for muscular rheumatism in the market. Sold by Lane Bros.
