Will Gather Exhibit.
The Farmers Institute recently
: organized in Alpine by Hon. Ed
R. Kone is provmg to be a very
popular organization and the
members are enthusiastic about
the good that will result from this
co-operation. Quite a number of
new members have been elected
and a vigorous campaign will be
waged to secure funds to pay for
an exhibit of the agricultural pro-
ducts of Brewster county which
exhibit will be sent to the differ-
ent State fairs in Texas and Ok-
lahoma. Mr. Miles says that
they will be glad to have any
farmer in the county send them
something as it is their intention
to make it representative of all
parts of the county. By making
an exhibit of the above nature in
different parts of this State and
Oklahoma, thousands of prospect-
ors will have an opportunity of
learning something about the
wonderful resources of Alpine and
Brewster county and there is no
question but what it will be the
means of inducing many people
to locate here.

very busy during the past week
trying to secure the right-of-way
for his road but he states to the
writer that he is meeting with
many obstacles. Work on a
part of the grade has been sus-
pended owing to the fact that he
has been unable to come to an
understanding with the land own-
ers, but it is thought this will on-
ly be temporary.

Death of Mrs. J. C, Armistead,
It is again the sad duty of the
Avalanche to chronicle the death
of another citizen of Alpine.
After an illness covering a period
of more than eight years, Mrs.
Emma E. Armistead, wife of
Mr. J. C. Armistead, died Tues-
day afternoon at her residence in
this city. Mrs. Armistead was
born in Alabama in 1862. In
1882 she was married and a few
years later moved to Texas.
She is survived by her hus-
band, three sons and six daugh-
ters, all residing in Alpine except
one daughter, Mrs. C. E. Har-
ris, who lives in Bee county.
The deceased was a Christian
soon aa possible: H. C. Bass,
G. W. Page and B. F. Berkeley.

State but at that time it was
thought best not to decide on any
certain place, this being done to
give the board an opportunity to
investigate the merits of the dif-
ferent sections. The question has
been settled to this extent, and
that is that the school is to be lo-
cated in the El Paso district and
this point having been decided,
Alpine is the logical spot. While
