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 tc ’lyinthe ascei ’cans are a] eiMhfr, while the few fa** he Int t al. **ir the v -est for *\n theij- ow t0 .attend - . Htie 8 fibred ‘ -• «. facq T j. • T. 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. < ( A hearty greeting to all my friends and kindred’ I have felt \ unusually well ever since I came f to this territory.”—Walton News. * -------- ■ ■ ■ I HAYSTON.

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. Advertise iu the Enterprise. Cured of Bright’s Disease. Mr. RobertO. Burke, Elnora, N. writes: “Before I started to use Kidney Core I had to get up from to twenty times a night and I was bloat¬ ed up with dropsy and my eyesight 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. \ TRAIN SCHEDULE Georgia Railroad.

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 since Dec. 1 19C5.
