MRS. GRACE TRUE
To HER TRUST
RETURNS TO ATLANTA AND IS
SUBJECT TO CONTINUED
SURVEILLANCE,

Atlanta, March 25.-Mrs. Daisy Opie
trace got back to Atlanta late yes
terday afternoon, accompanied by her
| lawyer, ]. A. Branch. She was i'm
mediately taken to a private resi-
dence, where she will be subject TO
continued surl eillance, ana will be
Kept in what amounts practically to
the same solitary confinement she
, suffered at the Jail, for while she will
! be permitted to walk about when she
wants to, and will be technically free
she will not be permitted to discuss
her case Or talk with anyone, and the
bondsmen will have somebody lodged
near her all the time.
Mrs. Grace realizes that she is NOT
free woman-that the only differ
ence between her condition now and
when she was actually locked in a
cell, is difference in mere physical
comfort.
She was more depressed last night
than at any time, outwardly, since the
mysterious shooting. The terrible in
dictment by her husband, who, talking
directly to the Atlanta newspaper men
Angus Perkerson, declared:
"My wife shotme l would say
that if l stood this minute before my
God. 1 was on the level with her,
and she shot me. If she goes I'M
punished it will be travesty on JUS
tice,;' these words from the husband
she still says she loves, made Mrs.
Grace sob as if her heart would break
when she read them.
Barring all question of whether or
not she shot him, the memory of Eu
gene Grace still stirs her heart as
no other thing, and she seems to
care more for his lightest word than
for al the elaborate arguments spun
by he detectives and lawyers in the
case
The trial will likely be the most
dramatic, and certainly will be the
most thrilling trial this part of the
South has seen since the days before
the Civil war.

When the word investment Is
referred to, people usually turn
their thots to Wall street, to men
with money and big deals in stocks
bonds. etc. Ordinarily this is true,
but there are exceptions to every
rule.
We are very glad to have one Of
the exceptions to offer the working
man. Our 10 and 20 acre tracts of
Deming land, adjoining the town
site, are as safe. sure and profitable
as any investment ever made. The
title is perfect. the land rich. the
country is growing fast, and land
values are increasing daily. Let us
tell you of our easy payment plan,
whereby you can make such IN
vestment by paying a little each
month. You'll never miss The
money, but you will miss the in
vestment. Don't wait till the acre
age il sorted to the last tract. 1t
is all good, but surely you have a
preference. Let us show you the

We are prone to punctuate with
period the question: Has any
paper of New Mexico enjoyed such
measure of success and prosperity
as the Deming GRAPHIC" Only n
few years ago ii was a struggling
little waif terribly afflicted with
municipal measles, humps and
whooping cough. hut along came
Drs. Holt \ DePuy. who, after
thoro diagnosis of the various alllic-
tions, proceeded to prescribe a jour-
nalistic tonic which resulted in Civ
ing it physique of which every
citizen in Luna county is proud.

ment has blazed the pathway and
marked the steps of progress that
have caused that slumbering burg
to throw off its lethargy of former
days. taking its place as one of the
foremost cities of the Southwest.
Perhaps no growing city in the
Union is now more widely known
or enjoys a greater period of pros.
perity than Deming. the pearl of
the Mimbres Valley. As the red
coated outriders that appear in the
eastern sky announce he dawn of
a new day, 80 the "Indust vial Edi-
ton" issued by the GRAPHIC two
weeks ago announces to the world
new era in the history of what is
destined to be one of the greatest
cities in the Southwest. Installed
in its new handsome and commodi.
GUS quarters. manned by as skilled
newspaper men as ever handled the
quill and stick, equipped with an
up-to.date plant which is the envy
of many older papers, and always
filled with news that is interesting
both to The citizen and prospective
settler, the GRAPHIC stands at the
head of the class and rightfully dis.
putes the power of other growing
papers to enroach upon its merited
position. Deming is proud Of the
GRAPHIC, and so are Luna County
and New Mexico.

Southwest better known than Dem

grown faster or prospered more in

Deming has been consistent

reaped the results tenfold. Home.
seekers stop off at Deming every

come imbued with the possibilities

Deming's advertising is the stable
kind--the kind that does not exag-

ton.


What 1t means TO the settlers OF
our beautiful promising valley to
have their wells constructed in such
fashion that failure. caused by cav.
ing In of any light and flimsy casing
is eliminated, cannot be too strongly
presented. A farmer or fruit grow
or who has his good hard cash and
labor invested in n growing crop,
cannot afford to take the risk to
have his water supply cut Oft sud-
denly and to see his crops perish for
want of the life-giving fluid. just
because he has not exercised fore
thought enough in having his well
rightly constructed. There is no
doubt in the mind of the writer that
sooner or later the thin galvanized
casing, with 40 per cent. or more
perforation, will give away, either
to the corroding influence of the
water, or to the weight and cave.in
Of the clay strata, which former be-
ing left unsupported on account Of
the large cavity being made in the
latter by some of the presently pre-
vailing methods of well construc-
ton in this valley. The danger
which menaces our Woodworking
settlers. should be carefully taken
into consideration. and not lightly

A little more money expended on
heavier casing and by using drop

casing and if necessary drive it firm.
ly ahead of the drill bit into the wa
ter-bearing strata, or keep il so
close to the drilling bit, that the
forming of a cavity, which Ia abso-
lutely unnecessary. is avoided. will
insure a well which will furnish wa

there is available within the vicinity
of such well. In our next week $
issue, we will give you the opinion
of an expert rs to how such wells
ought to he constructed. Some of
our progressive well drillers. as for
instance the McMath Bros, Bishop
and Derrose. Ferguson and Harmon
and others, NIL of whom are using

Deming Shows the Way.

Some wise-acre re-discovered the
old law that a dollars worth of farm
stuff produced is a dollar gained.
and is worth just a hundred cents
more to the town than. the dollar
spent for the lurid joys Of life. The
farmer cultivating an acre Of beans
does not make as much noise as
the race-track tout at a race, but he
is worth a whole lot more to the
community and to the merchant.
The land around Deming is not
nearly as attractive as that around
Santa Fe, it is jus. as far to water
and to market, but Deming mer-
chants put $4,000 year to adver-
tise that land. and the land hungry
came, they drilled and dug wells,
they placed over hem gasoline
pumps, they laid out farms and or
chards, land worth 80 cents an acre
three years ago now readily sells for
$50 an acre, and Deming is growing
into large city. The Windmill
City has hold of the key to prosper
ity; it is laying the foundation for a
healthy growth that no removal of
railroad shops, no displeasure of rail
rord officials no financial or industrial
panic can destroy.
Deming shows the way, Clovis
and Santa Fee should follow. Let
first things be- first. have last things

Of solemn meditation and reflection,
that began with the New Year. 1t is
ordained in Leviticus, xvi, 1894. and
is Scripturally known as a Sabbath

sation from all ordinary avocations

This fast is the Interpretation Of the
passage. we shall afflict your souls on
this day" and is in keeping with the
spirit Of the day, 1. e., the subordina-
ton Of the physical to the spiritual
side Of our nature.
It is a day devoted TO prayer and
penitence, day wherein, through
confession and contrition, the soul
aims to be at one with its God, to
seek His mercy and earn His pardon.
The ancient service Of the day. with
it's elaborate ritual and imposing
priestly sacrifice and confessional, has
significance, that makes It appeal 20
each individual heart and to each sin
gle soul. The service lays stress upon
the divine grace and mercy that are
freely held out to the sin laden breast
through penitence and contrition. The
great lesson of the day is that a con-
trite heart and an humble spirit are
Gods most acceptable sacrifice and
that the fountain Of His freely flowing
forgiveness is exhaust,ess.

committee of experts, consisting Of the
superintendent Of the water depart

the four bids received by the water and

modern, up-to-date pumping station
had been referred, and after remaining
in session for two hours considering
the matter, the entire proposition of
awarding a contract was referred to
the city council at the meeting of the
committee held yesterday.
The water and gas committee has
already held two meetings to consider
this proposition. At the first meeting.
held last Tuesday, the bids were
opened. It was found that there was
very little difference in the prices sub

was decided to refer the bids to ex-
perts before awarding a contract, and
the committee adjourned until yester-
day at IL o'clock.
The meeting was held at noon yes

contract was discussed at length. but
it was finally decided to refer all of

tract would have been subject to the
approval Of the council
