LETTER FROM NEW MEXICO.
Prof. Wm. D. Cornwell Writes of
His Stay in The West.
“I arrived in Silver City, iu the
southwestern portion of the ter¬
ritory of New Mexico, at one
o’clock Saturday afternoon, No¬
vember 4, having left Monroe,
Ga., at nine o’clock Monday
morning, Oct. 30. I came by
way of Atlanta, Ga., Anniston,
Ala., Meridian, Miss., New Or¬
leans, La., Houston, San Antonia
and El Paso, Texas, to Denting,
New Mex., and thence forfy-seven
miles in a northwesterly direction
to my destination. Silver City is
thirteen hundred and thirty-six
miles somewhat northwest of New
Orleans and nearly two thousand
miles from Watkineville. It was
a long, tiresome, and inconvenient
journey with thirty-five or forty
hours lay-overs, crowded trains
and annoying quarantine regula¬
tions. At one point in western
Texas all we passengers had to
leave our train and walk a quarter
of a mile or more over roughest
around a wreck which had occurr¬
ed a few hours before on a freight
killing two men. The most of us
felt no doubt, that it was better
to walk around the wreck than to
have been in it.
Silver City is the chief town of
Grant county. It sits in a saucer¬
shaped valley of the Rocky moun¬
tains, surrounded by magnificent
hills, and is more than six thous
sand feet above the sea level. No
point in middle Georgia, if I re¬
member correctly, exceeds an alti¬
tude of a thousand feet. If a per¬
son at the seashore should ascend
in a balloon to the height of a lit¬
tle less than a mile and a quarter he
would then be on a level with this
section of New Mexico. Some n«w
comer into high altitudes complain
of shortness of breath aud a heart
disturbance, but I have experienc¬
ed no inconvenience in these di¬
rections.
The population is three thousand
with five churches of different de¬
nominations—a Baptist, a Metho¬
dist, a Presbyterian, an Episcopal¬
ian, and a Roman Catholic—a Ter¬
ritorial Normal school, a public
school, a Catholic convent, a Cath¬
olic sanitarium for tuberculous
persons, accomodating about sixty
patients, an ice factory, a large
plant for melting ore of all kinds,
a national bank, three hotels,
electric lights, two newspapers,
water works, a telephone system,
eight or ten whiskey saloons, aud
several licensed gambling dens.
The towns throughout the West,
though some of them are begin¬
ning to refuse to license gambling,
do not yet care for prohibition law.
In this respect they are like the
cities of Geogia. While less de¬
veloped perhaps, socially, morally
and religiously than Covington,
Monroe or Madison, Ga., Silver
City is their peer from an indus¬
trial point of view. Since the de
mouitization of silver the mining
of that mineral is no longer pro¬
fitable, but gold copper and iron
mines near here offer employment
to hundreds of workmen at from
three and a half t<> tour dollars a
day. There are also many large
ranches m this county, well stock¬
ed with cattle and Angora goats.
Hay makers aud dairymen find
ready sale for their produce, sweet
milk selling at forty ceuts a gal¬
lon and pure cream at seventy-five
cents a quart.
The population of our town con
sists largely of white people, with
perhaps twenty-five per cent of
Mexicans and a few negroes aud
Ch mease. Nearly all western
schools are made of a general mix¬
ture of white, Mexican, negro and
Indian children. In New Mex.,
and Arizona the v

tures the southerner has to deal
with, but are clean, 'well dressed
and respectable, and though the
whites aud blacks sit side by side
iu the same school room, yet there
is still a wide breach between the
two races, thus showing social
equality to be only a dream. It is
somewhat strange that *' almost'
every scho rl teacher in this county
is a lady. The lady principal of
Silver City public school receives
a salary of a hundred and twenty
five dollars per month. Several
counties have women for their
school commissioners and the stale
of Colorado, I think, has a woman
for its commissioner. In Wyo¬
ming there is woman’s suffrage.
Yes, the feminine gender i3 com¬
ing to the front in the West.
This article is, I suspect, al¬
ready to long for the space the
editors can allow me, so at another
time I will write of New Mexico
climate and of the health seekers
here.

friends and kindred’ I have felt \
unusually well ever since I came f
to this territory.”—Walton News. *

She Trued Five- Doctors.
Mrs. Frances L. Sales, of Missouri
Valley, la., writes “I have been afflict,
ed with kidney trouble five years: had
severe pains in my back and a frequent
desire to urinate. When ridinn I expe¬
rienced much pain over the region of
the kidneys. I tried five physicians
without benefit and then concluded to
try Foley’s KidDey Cure. After taking
three $1.00 bottles I was completely
cured."
Covington merchants have as
nice and cheap a line of holiday
goods as can be found anywhere
in the state and none of our peo¬
ple need go or send away for
Christmas goods. We do not be¬
lieve many of them “Would send
away f^r anything they can get
here, but we just want to remind
the few that this practice is abso¬
lutely necessary. You should not
wait either till the last minute to
select the articles you want, but
go early and avoid the rush that is
always customary during the three
or four days previous to Christmas,
as you ai^'sure not to get every
thing you want and what you do
get is not just exactly up to your
expectations.

Mr. RobertO. Burke, Elnora, N.
writes: “Before I started to use
Kidney Core I had to get up from

so impaired I could scarcely see one
my family across the roojjg. I had given
\ up hope of living when a friend recom¬
mended Foley’s Kidney Cure- One 50c
cent bottle worked wonders and before
I had taken the third bottle the dropsy
had gone, as well as all other symptom*
or Bright’s disease.

A Breezy Time.
The clash of interest in “A
Breezy Time,” which will be seen
at Opera House on Saturday Dec.
28rd is brought by the fact that
the creditors of a young college
student have pursued him out of
town, and that the girl lie loves
has done likewise. It is easily to
be seen that comic complications
can grow out of this state of thii.gs
It remains to be seen, of course,
whether they have been taken ad¬
vantage of. Leaving the plot al¬
together out of question, however,
the piece is said to bring upon the
stage a great many people who
have made hits in their line, and
who have been brought together
in the newest—
“A Breezy Time.”
To Our Customers.
The Bank of Newtou county is
glad to announce to their custom¬
ers that they have been accepting
out of town checks, without charge
