 My father and I have purchas- ed a farm of 160 acres, located near the center of the county, il miles from Big Springs and 9 miles from Coahoma. Our land is good, the soil being from two to four feet in depth, and not a foot of waste land on the farm. l will not speak slightly of dear old Arkansas, my native state, for there are some real good things there, but I have decided to make the West my home till God calls me to a much better one on high. Where man can make good, honest living, have good health and is satisfied, that is the place where he should live.

A Letter From Texas.

Big Springs, Texas, Feb. 8, 1910.-To all my friends in Ne vada county, Ark, especially those in Albany Township, greet ing: A happy new year to you all. May success crown all your good efforts during the year 1910. l have read quite recently a copy of the Nevada News" and was delighted to read of the proceed lngs in my native county. I was especially interested to see the reports from the correspondents of the different places, and also the announcements of the candi- dates. 1 am glad that Albany Township has the honor of pro- ducing so worthy a candidate as w. N. Mum. 1 have known Will nearly all his life, and I hesitate not to say that 1 believe hiH2 to be fully qualified to fill the office of Representative. Those ele ments that are essential for worthy and successful life were manifested in his nature even when small boy, and by great perseverance he has secured a good education, and built char acter that is worthy of the conf dential honor of Nevada County. If 1 was resident of said county, I would vote for him.
 was glad also to see the an- nouncements of w. R. Steed, Wiley Job ard Lee Dillard as candidates. In former days I was associated with these gentle men great deal, and 1 believe them to be fully qualified to fill the offices to which they aspire. If it were possible, I would cast my vote for these gentlemen, but a stretch of about 575 miles lies between us, quite distance to be sure, but my heart is with you just the same.
 A little more than five years ago, left my old home and friends in Nevada County, Ark ansas, and moved to Parker County, Texas. l lived there two years, and made good crops. But on account of the malaria of the Brazos River valley we were forced to move to a more healthy l 'cality. So we chartered a car. putting our household goods, farming implements and stock on, we left Weatherford and pull dd for West Texas, Howard County.
 am glad to say we have found a healthy country, no malaria here, snd we have had much better health since we came here than
