ELIDA, new MEXICO.
An Interesting letter From MIR. Ed.
ward 7. Robertson.

Hoping you have room in your paper
to publish few lines, l will attempt to
let my friends know how 1 am liking
New Mexico. We are always glad
when Saturday comes, each one being
anxious to read the News. 1t is al
ways a welcomed letter, as it has a
warm place in my heart.
l am glad to hear your schools are
fiourishing and realestate still booming.
1 hope Columbia will be fortunate
enough to get railroad in the near fu-
ture. l hope my mother is enjoying
her visit, but | beg to state that we
will not visit there soon as the Specta-
tor seems to think.
New Mexicois good place, having
its advantages and disadvantages, as
all places do. The climate is the finest
l ever lived in, but l will never get
used to the Western wind. The alti-
of New Mexico is about 5000 feet. We
have had few heavy rains since my
arrival here, and wheat is looking fine,
most ready to pasture. Crops are fair
ly good. This place is like all others,
hustling man can make some money
here, but the honey is just beyond.
This was election day, but everything
passed quietly and the Democrats elect
ed every county officer. 1t was quite
different from our county election last
Fall, in Adair, l mean.
The school facilities is a great draw
back to the West, not being so good as
in the East. We are blessed with good
neighbors, such as Mr.. Robert Girls
som, Mr.. McClister, Mr.. Burbridge and
sons, Mr.. Num-, Mr.. Joe Taylor anC
sons, DR.. G. M. Murrell and family.
We are located in the Pecos Valley
within eight miles of a thriving rail
road town. Dry Farming is proving tt
be a success in Roosevelt county, but
there is no water like Kentucky anC
Tennessee water. We have fairly gooC
water. which l am proud of. Have gooC
health as usual, which is a great b ess
ing. l hope my dear aunt will i'm
prove fast, and soon regain her health
AS this is my first to the News, 1 will
ring off. EDWARD ROBERTSON.

ADAIR COUNTY
FARMERS INSTITUTE.
Organized Monday and Tuesday
November 18th and 18th.

About fifty or sixty of Adair county
farmers met in the courthouse, Mon
day November 18th in pursuance to a
call from Commissioner of Agriculture
Vreeland and organized the Adair coun-
ty Farmers Institute with the follow
ing named gentleman as officers for the
coming year.
President, H.B. Garrett, of Column
bia; Vice Presidents H. K Walkup, of
Glensfork, R. A. Feese, of Cane Va ley,
and J. P. Dononey, Jr., Columbia; Sec
rotary, w. Robt. Todd, Co umbia;
Treasurer, ". H. Flowers, of Bliss.
The lecturers sent here by the Com
missioner of Agriculture were Messrs.
j. B. Walker, of Hopkinsville, and
Lowell Roudebush, of New Richmond,
Ohio. After the organization was per-
fected Monday Mr.. Roundebush made
a very instructive and interesting talk
on "Wby Farmers Should Raise Sheep"
and Feeding Stock for Profit. Follow
ing this lecture, Mr.. Walker was the
next speaker with Maintaining and In
creasing Fertility of Soil'' for his sub
ject. Many questions were asked,
which showed that farmers of Adair
are unusually interested in these sub
jects.
At the evening session Mr.. Walker
gave lecture on ''How to Build and
Maintain Good Roads" and from the
interest manifested it is pain to be
seen that Adair county is at last awak-
ening to the incalculable value of good
roads. Mr.. Roudebush lectured on
''The Clouds, In and Above Them"
which was so we'll received that he
was forced to give another lecture
'Uncle Sans Land of the Midnight
Sum-" Both of these talks were from
a scientific view and were pleasing, in
pertaining and very instructive.
Tuesday morning the Institute was
called to order by Vice President Wal
kup and committee appointed to ar
range the time, place and program for
the next meeting Up to the time of
going to press the committee had notre-
ported. After the business had been
transacted Mr.. Roundebush lectured on
alfalfa" and was followed by Mr..
Walker with the subject of 1.-The Selec-
ton of Seed Corn-Corn it's Care and
Management.
We think the organization of the
Farmers Institute, one of the best steps
for the advancement of the agricultural
interests in Adair county and we hope
that at its next meeting many new
names will enrolled:

JAMES HOLT, RUS M.,,
Sell COUNTY AN
Arrested in LOuiSviIIe...POIice Think
He is Implicated in Murder.

James o. Holt, formerly of Russell
county, has been arrested in Louis
willie and is being held as suspect in
connection with the murder of Mrs.
Virginia Ely last Thursday morning.
Thursday morning about one O'Clock
n Es. Virginia Ely, wife of Mr.. Thorn
Il lEtly, a laborer, was discovered with
i h throat cut and skull caved in. The
bhdsband and daughter were sleeping in
an adjoining room and three children
were in the same apartments with the
murdered woman. No trace of the
person who committed the crime has
been found, but the police strongly
suspect Holt as the guilty party. He
bears a very unsavory reputation in
that section of the city and has been
arrested more than twenty times on
fvarious charges. Wednesday after
moon 2 o'clock Holt was released from
Ehe workhouse, where he had been in
&arcerated for driving his wife and
snother-in-law from home with threats
10 murder them. Immediately upon
bis release he made inquiries for his
Family, who had moved to get away
from him, and stated that he intended
DO kill his mother-in- Flaw. About 11:30
ko'clock he was seen in the neighbor-
hood of the Ely home in half drunk
en- condition; a few minutes later a
man was seen running from the. direc-
ton of the murdered woman's home
hatless, and as Holt cannot give an en-
tirely clear account of himself he is
held as a suspect. During the evening
he claimed to have lost his hat, but can
not remember where.
James o. Holt is a native of Russell
county, and bore the reputation in that
section of very dangerous man. About
twelve or fifteen years ago he murdered
Milt Coffey, in drinking house about
two miles from Jamestown and was
sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
During Gov. Bradley's administration
he was pardoned by Lieut.. Gov. Worth
ington, and we understand that he has
since served term in the State peni-
Tertiary. -
At one time Holt was citizen of
Columbia and he was generally regard
ed as vicious, quick-tempered and a
man who knew no fear. During his
life in our town he was engaged in a
number Of quarrels and came very nef r
numbering one of our citizens.

The Great Barlow MinStrelS.

The above company, which will ap- pear at the Becker x Lewis opera house Monday night, March }, is well known to the theater goers of Forrest City, and is always welcomed as one of the best attractions visiting this city. Manager Coburn has spared no time or money this season in making the show superior to former years. combining every essential feature ne- cesSSary in meritoriouS minstrelSy.
 This season he presents something new and novel in the way of a first part offering, leaving the old time minstrel circle behind, replacing herewith an immense battleship upon the stage. This scene depicting life aboard modern man of war, shows the turret and it's monster guns, the rapid fire rifles and their carriages, the glaring red mouthed tunnels, the fighting top high in air, and in fact every thing practical as used on an up-to-date naval fighting machine.
 The costumes of the singers are exact representations of those worn by the highest officers of Uncle Sam S navy including the admirals regalia adorning the interlocutor or middle man.
 Of course there would be no min strel show without the funny old coons to tell us jokes and sing us ''niggern songs. This portion of the entertainment is well taken care of, the comedians characterizing the ser wants of the boat, elaborately attired for this one grand and gala occasion in which fun and song reign supreme.
 This beautiful stage picture embel- lished by myriad of colored lights, interspersed with the flags of all na- tions and other effects, awakens feeling of patriotic enthusiasm and is one long to be remembered.
 A splendid singing party and an un- usually strong olio of exclusive yaude- vile features as presented in connec- tion with the above, furnishes one of the most pleasing and satisfactory evenings entertainment to be found in the list of this seasons coming at fractions.
