Sheriff D. L. Kemp, of Eddy county paid the New Mexican a pleasant call yesterday afternoon. He relates some cheering news as to the growth of his town and county. Two years ago the voting population of the county was 400. To-day the town of Eddy alone has 3,000 inhabitants and all that region between Red Bluff and Eddy, thirty miles or more, is thickly settled up with a thrifty farming population. Every train brings new settlers and the certainty that the Pecos Valley road will be extended north this summer causes a healthy active movement in real estate both in the town and county. "The growth of the county is ahead of the town," said Mr. Kemp, "and we propose to keep it that way."
