She Likes New Mexico.

The following paragraphs are from d personal letter from Mrs. ]. B. Dan iels, who Is at Deming, New Mexico. visiting her son, Lieut. J. B. Daniels of Co. k. lst Arkansas Infantry. There are many of our citizens who, while not hearing directly from the boys of Co. k, are very much interested m them and are glad of any news of their welfare. their surroundings, etc, and for this reason We take the liberty of reproducing these paragraphs.
 .'l am enjoying the freedom and big ness of this country. It is in many ways wonderful country to me. The climate Is grand but the wind and dust are something awful. am sure New Mexico dirt must be the dirtiest dirt in the world. It is utterly impossible to keep anything clean.
 This Is great country for automo- piles. and truly there are some fine ones here. and to speed over this vast plain at forty or fifty miles an hour Is Joy never to be forgotten.
 Camp Deming is a beautiful place, and is said to be the best camp on the border The tents and mess halls are being toored and furnished with stoves. and every thing k being done to make the boys comfortable for the winter. Each tent is furnished with wood that has been shipped in from reservation about sixty miles up in the mountains

Automobile Catches Fire.

Considerable excitement was caused at the E. P Remley home last Monday afternoon, when their Jeffrey automo- bile caught fire. The car was in the garage as was also a large tank of gasoline, and in the garage adjoining was their big Chalmers car. Mir. Rem ley managed to get the burning car out of the garage, however, before anything else in there caught, but in the yard was pile of dry leaves which was ablaZe in less time than it takes to tell 1t, and as there was high wind blowing. things looked pretty scary for a few minutes When after strenuous efforts the blaze was finally eXtin- guished. the car was found to be badly but not hopelessly damaged and has since been sent to Little Rock to be repaired and retinshed.
 The cause of the fire is unknown, but 1t is supposed to have caught from an electrical spark caused by the contact of metal brush handle with which Mr. Remley was cleaning the car.
