Fate of the Kicker Echoes in a Lyrical Digression
The Chickasha Express prints a long verse about a celestial kicker who must turn left to the afterlife, contrasting those who boasted of their town with those who praised it, and noting the delight in room for millions yet a prohibition on complaints about the music. The piece is followed by local notes: Max B. Fitch, former Socorro resident now in El Paso, visiting and considering returning. Fitch and his father exploring mining property south of Deming with high potential. H. A. True travels from Boston for Mine Development and Germany mining interests and is a frequent Socorro visitor.
