.  This  is 
the  second  fire  the  S.L.C.  Co.  has  passed 
through,  having  lost  their  large  store  over  a 
year  ago  in  the  “big  fire.”  Beyond  this  com- 
pany no  other  efforts  seem  to  be  making  to 
come  Phoenix-like  from  the  ashes.

The  Ever  Glorious

To  the  Editors  of  the  Enterprise:

You  would  accommodate  us  very  much  by 
announcing  through  the  columns  of  your  “little 
sheet”  that  on  the  4th  of  July  the  public  school 
this  district,  No.  45,  will  have  a grand  exhibi- 
tion, consisting  of  speeches,  tableaux,  etc.,  etc., 
by  the  scholars  at  the  town  of  Cooney,  to  be 
followed  at  night  by  a general  round  up  of  the 
bucks  and  ladies  and  a grand  ball  for  the 
benefit  of  the  school.  During  the  day  the  stars 
and  stripes  will  be  hoisted  over  the  school 
house,  while  the  scholars  sing  “My  Country  ’Tis 
of  Thee.”  This  we  believe  to  be  the  first  flag 
raised  over  a school  house  in  New  Mexico  and 
we  propose  it  to  stay  as  long  as  the  school  is 
in  session,  ever  anon.

Very  Respectfully,

M.  C.  Logan,

Wm.  Carmichael,

M.  Cooney.
