Who will, on Monday next, start for their new home in Wallace, N.M. Dr. LIGHT is well known all over the county, and has been a resident here for a number of years. His success as a physician gained for him an enviable reputation and a large practice, extending to all parts of the county, in fact, there was no physician in the county whose practice was so extensive or so universally successful. As a citizen he was all that any community could desire. But failing health, caused from over work and exposure to all kinds of weather – for Dr. LIGHT never failed to respond to a call – makes it necessary for him to either relinquish the practice of medicine or seek a gentler clime, have for his profession induced him to choose the latter; and in his new home he hopes to regain his lost vitality, in which we hope he may be successful. We but speak the senti! ments of the entire community, when we commend Dr. LIGHT to the people of Wallace as a whole souled man, a Christian gentleman and a physician who has but few equals. ----------------------------- There are three prominent phases of a young woman’s life, all visibly connected: As a baby, she’s lugged; as a young woman, she’s hugged; as a wife, she’s humbugged.
