On Tuesday evening, Dec, 17th
occurred the most highly pleasing
nocial event of the season, the re
ception given by Mrs. Florence 13.
Crofford at her home in the south
end of town, which was given in
honor of Mrs. G. 13. Acton's de
parture from Tucumcari.
About forty guests were present,
and they were entertained in a
manner that will not soon be for
gotten by them.
The house was beautiful, the
decorative scheme being floral.
Yellow and pink chrysanthemums
were used in abundance, and flow
ers were carried by the hostess and
the young ladies assisted her to
receive the guests.
The floral idea was employed
even to the carrying out of a very
enjoyable musical program. Mr.
Brymer, one of Tucumcari' sfavor
ite soloist, rendered "The Sweetest
Flower that Blows." W. A. Gam
ble sang Heine's little classic
"Thou Art Like Unto a Lovely
Flower." Mrs. Thomas Sherwood
charmingly rendered "Springtime,"
and Miss Brewer gave a reading,
"Heartsease."
A pretty contest, "Floral Wed
ding," enlivened the evening, and
Mr. C. H. Chenault proved his
knowledge of horticulture by car
rying off the prize.
Mrs. Acton was presented
with the guest prize, a Jap
anese vase, by Mr. Brymer in
behalf of the hostess, who in pre
senting the prize made a very
appropriate speech, wishing that
her life might be spent in the Land
of Flowers, and in which he voiced
the regret of the many friends of
this charming lady at her leaving.
Miss Murphy presided in her
usual charming and graceful man
ner over the punch bowl.
Mrs. Crofford was assisted in re
ceiving her guests by Misses Haves
Murphy, Brewer, and Baker, and
so beautiful was this "Rosebud
garden of girls" that the two min
isters present insisted that a wed
ding was in order.
Everyone had a delightful time.
The young folks always have a
good time at Mrs. Croffords, but
this occasion was far out ol the
ordinary, and Mrs. Crofford was
declared to be an amiable hostess.
The invited guests were: Mr. and
Mrs: Muirhead, Mr. and Mrs.
Street, Mrs. Elkins, Mr. and Mrs.
G. B, Acton, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes,
Mr. and Mrs. Chenault, Mr. and
Mrs. Stanley Lawson, Mr. and

The Epworlh League Reception
On last Friday evening the Blues
of the Epworth League of the
Methodist Church entertained the
Golds in a very enjoyable manner.
About sixty attended and all ex
pressed themselves as delighted
with the program and banquet.
After a game of "Greeting" which
broke the ice very effectively,
several interesting numbers were
given. Among them was a rendi
tion of "Higher Culture in Dixie,"
by Miss Brewer which delighted
her hearers, and numerous read
ings by Sallie Crofford and Maple
Naefus that were loudly applaud
ed. Rev. DuI3ose and Rev. Wil
son entertained the audience in
their usual happy manner and the
president of the League Mr. H. H.
McElroy followed with a talk that
was enjoyed and appreciated.
After this feast of reason the
guests adjourned to the parsonage
to partake of a more substantial
feast, which under the manipula
tion of Mesdames Acton, Hurley,
Wilson and DeOliviera was all
that an epicure could desire. Tur
key sandwiches disappeared like ,
dew before the sun and wit
and laughter reigned supreme.
The Golds feel indebted to the
Blues for one of the most enjoy
able social evenings spent in Tu
cumcari, and to the credit of its
leading spirits it should be stated
that the League is decidedly the
most successful organization in
the citv.

"Now is C h r i s t risen from the
dead, and become the first fruits of
them that slept. For since by man
came death, by man came also the
resurrection of the dead. For as in
Adam all die, even so in Christ shall
all be made alive," etc.
At the conclusion of the Scriptur
al lessons an approppriate quartet
was rendered, and then the address
of the pastor which was in part as
follows:
"Today my friends we gather to
pay the last tribute of respect to
our late honored friend and fellow
citizen, Col. T. W. Heman, a man
who belonged to those men who,
in the past rendered such great
and incomparable service to our
country. He was the type of the
highest citizenship, being willing'
to lay down his life, if needs be, for
the sake of his country.
"Our honored fellow citizen,
Col. Heman, was born on March 1

volunteered to serve his cou
At the call to arms in the open
ing of the civil war, he enlisted in
thei8thMissouri,and when twenty
three years old was promoted to
the rank of lieutenant Colonel, this
was a high honor, for it was con
ferred in the day when the souls of
the bravest men were tried, and
when such honors could only be
won by the merit of true cour
age. He was also a member of
General Blair's staff. After the
war he engaged in the real estate
business with Rolla Wells, the
present Mayor of St. Louis, in that
city.
"In June 1878 he married Miss
Lula Miller, daughter of General
Miller of the Union army who was
also a Senator from Missouri. He
later came to New Mexico where the
greater portion of his life was spent
past six years of it in this city.dur
mg which time he was ever a loyal
and patriotic citizen, always giving
his best effort the upbuilding and
advancement of our town and
county.
"While resident of the territory
he has been prominent in politscs

He was chairman of the republican

My friends as we say good-bye
to our fellow citizen, let us learn
the lesson of sterling citizenship
and true public spirit from his life.
"The deceased leaves a brother

take up his residence amonir us
to him we extend this afternoon
our sincere sympathy in this hour
of sadness, which we share with
him, and also our friendship.
Upon the conclusion of the short
address, prayer was offered, and
then while the choir sang friends
took a farewell look at the face of
the deceased.
From the church t h e remains
were taken in charge by the Elk

marching to the beat of muffled
drum in front of the hearse to the
cemetery. At the close of the
ceremony at the cemetry the Grand

grave and taps were sounded.
