Don't forget the fact that there
is to be a school election in April.
We must look well to the interests
of our public school system.
Sam Neis is announcing hiscan
dacy for the office of city marshal
in this issue of the News. It is
unnecessary for this paper to issue
a dissertation on his fitness for
this position as the people of the
city know him even better than
this paper. It does seem that the
people should make a correct selec
tion from the great number of
candidates they have to choose from
J. T. Garner, C. Curtis, S. L.
Disney. Jack Hatfield, W. H. Cur
tis, farmers from fifteen miles south
of Quay, were in town this week.
They report everything favorable,
say wheat never looked finer, and
that their principal crop will be
grain. While here they loaded four
wagons with wind mills, tanks and
general supplies in that line from
Anderson's place.
There is to be a new paper start
ed at Logan, the proprietors are
to be Nesteval and W. W. Moore,
the name Logan Leader.
Tucumcari Citizen Visits the Work
and Sees the Steel Go
ing Down.
Expected to Build on Into Tucumcuri.
W. A. Jackson was on the line
of the Choctaw Extension last week
and saw them laying steel. He
talked the situation over with the
representative of the railway com
pany, and was assured that the
work would be speedily prosecuted
until the twenty-one miles under
the charter agreement were finish
ed, and then they intend to go
right ahead with the work of com
pleting the line into Tucumcari as
soon as possible thereafter. This
will boom the towns along the line
of the Choctaw grade as well as
Tucumcari this summer. This
means much to Quay couuty this
year.
MRS. RVCKER'S
MILLINERY OPENING
The most brilliant event of the
spring season in business circles
that especially .pertains to the ladies
was Mrs. Lovenco Rucker's pre
liminary millinery showing in her
parlors in Tafoya and Lawson's
on Thursday and Friday afternoon.
The large crowds of elegantly
dressed ladies i n attendance
throughout both afternoons fully
attested to the success of the affair.
Not only did the fair dames and
damsels of Tucumcari and vicinity
enjoy trying on the beautiful hats,
but socially the time was passed
most pleasntly.
Delicious fruit punch was dis
pensed to the thirsty throng, Mrs.
Hayden presiding most gracefully
over the glittering punch bowl.
Beautiful music was rendered
throughout both afternoons. Mrs.
Addleman delighted the large
crowd with her sweet singing and
a male quartette from El Paso
gave several splendid numbers.
Miss Drum, Mrs. Saxon, Mrs,
Addleman and Mrs. Crawfford
gave piano selections on both
afternoons.
Mrs. Rucker proved herself a
most charming hostess and splen
did manager. Her many assist
ants were kept busy the entire
time showing her splendid display
of hats. This display would in
deed be a credit to a much larger
city. The beautiful creations,
from "ready to wear" hats in the
nobby new shapes and "Menv
Widow Sailors," to the elegant
dress hats of silk net, maline, lace
braid, tulle, flowers, plumes' and
silk and everything beautiful and
bewitching under the sun was a
display that would dazzle and
charm the most fastidious.
The Event of the Season.
The Ladies' Aid of the Presby
terian Church will present their
Minstrel show on the evening of
April 1 6th. All who have ever at
tended one of their entertainments
know what this means, and this
one will eclipse all previous efforts.
The proceeds will go to the build
ing fund for the $6,000 church to
be erected this spring.

The Week In Society.
By View Reading Club.
The Woman's Literary Club
met with Mrs. J. P. Donahue on
Wednesday afternoon at the usual
hour. Beside the president, Mrs.
Rome Donohoo, the members in
attendance were: Mesdames Don
ahue, Golden berg, Sherwood,
Pring, Stewart, Street, lhompson,
Hargis, Crofford. Mrs. U. G.
Donahue was present as a visitor.
Roll call was responded to with
quotations from two of our favor
ite poets, Eugene Field and James
Whitcomb Riley. The lesson, a
discussion of our western writers,
was exceedingly interesting.
Mrs. Donohoo reviewed the
Carey sisters, William D. How-
ells, Maurice Thompson, Edward
Eggleston, Riley and rield, and
Gen. Lew Wallace, who should
especially interest the people of
New Mexico because of the fact
that when governor of New
Mexico he wrote the last chapter
of his immortal Ben Hur" in the
old adobe palace that for several
hundred years was the executive
mansion of the oldest capital city
in the United States.
Mrs. Hargis discussed very ably
Will Carleton, Octave Thanet,
Hamlin Garland, Joaquin Miller,
Bret Harte who is compared with
Kipling and best beloved of all
western writers, Helen Hunt lack
son. The transition from the west to
the middle east is accomplished in
the twinkling of an eve in club work
and the representative writers of
this section, among them Uayard
Taylor, Stockton, Stedman, Stod
dard ard best of all the "imper
turbable" Mark Twain, were re
viewed by Mrs. Crofford.
Several delightful readings fol
lowed the lesson. Mrs. Street
read from Joaquin Miller; Mrs.
Hargis read Fields' "Wynken,
Blynken and Nod," and Mrs.
Sherwood his "Little Boy Blue."
Bret Harte's "Heathen Chinee"
was read by Mrs. Crofford, and
Stedman's "The Doorstep" by
Mrs. Donohoo.
The social period was rendered
more enjoyable by the delightful
coffee and salad luncheon served
by the hostess assisted by Mes
dames N. G. Donahue and Hargis.
The club will meet with the
president at her suburban home
next week.
Muirhe&d's Big Opening.
The curiosity of every lady (and
man, for that matter) was aroused
Wednesday and Thursday by Muir
head's advertised closed doors and
sauntered by to see what it all
meant.
There was no crape on the door,
however, and Muirhead had not
made an assignment of his im
mense stock to his creditors; but a
poster announced that behind those
mysterious closed doors Muirhead
and Miss Murphy and their assist
ants were making ready for the
biggest dry goods opening display
ever pulled off in Tucumcari.
A beautiful window display of
Japanese porcelain caught and
held the eye of every woman who
loves pretty china and an enticing
poster in the window explained
how every dollar's purchase en
titled the ladies to a piece of that
porcelain which went in as "larg
niappe." That is Creole which
when translated into western dia
lect means "boot."
And the ladies are all excitement
and of course will buy to the limit
to get the handsomest pieces of
that very Japanese ware.
Another interesting feature of
the opening will be the big rem
nant sale; for next to buying mil
linery and pretty china the real
"womanly" woman does so love
to buy remnants.
MATTERSON SISTER'S
MILLINERY OPENING.
These ladies held their onenini
on Tuesday and Wednesday, and
the bewildering display of hats,
llowers, ribbons, etc., was indeed
a credit to the taste of the sisters.
Their hand-made hats are espec
ially beautiful and rival many of
the imported pattern hats on dis
play. But their elegant and elaborate
display of llowers and wreaths is
by far the most attractive feature
in their millinery parlors. The
latest thing in llowers can be seen
on display at this place.
The electric light and power
plant are preparing to increase
their capacity and will institute a
day circuit soon. This is an en
terprise that everybody will wel
come and when the hot season is
on a few fans will add to the com
fort of life.
