meeting is called to meet at the

the ^doption of candidates and
time there was too limited,
hence we requested—Crosby's
Ex-sheriff, John do it for
us, and we will surelv be on
hand to uphold the law.
We found John K. with more
time than money, "we infer, as
he had been waiting two weeks
for cars to ship his cattle and
nothing in sight but poor pros-
pects.
The run to Amarillo was evi-

of business on the road; anathe

thanked the assembled hosts
to our j brjefly for welcome that had

the United States.
Only one incident of a fatal
nature marred an otherwise ideal
day of Presidential amenities-
two boys fought for a vantage
point from which to view the pa-
rade, and one was killed. Even
the knowledge of this was kept
from the President, but the line
of march passed only a few feet
from the spot where the lad's
body lay—covered by American
flags—untii it could be removed
In Mexico the crowded streets
of Ciudad Juarez gave evidence
of the interest naturally attend-
ing so important an event as the
reception of the American by
the Mexican President; in El
Paso the good-natured rjyairy of
the two cities was manifest both j
liking. Many are more fortun-
ate than we, and others not so
far along, so it will be the 20 th
before thp Fair will be anything
like complete. Then I believe
our chief regret will be the men
and women of Crosby Couty can
not see and benefit by it. Our
