About

The Carlsbad Current was published weekly from June 3, 1899, through October 1, 1907, and again from November 20, 1908, through November 5, 1926.  It was preceded by the Eddy Current.  The article “The” was added to the title between 1903 and 1905.  The Carlsbad Current merged with the New Mexico Sun on October 11, 1907, and in 1908, the Carlsbad Current and New Mexico Sun called itself “the official paper of Eddy County.”  A one-year subscription to the Carlsbad Current and New Mexico Sun cost $1.50 for the weekly which was published every Friday.  The title reverted to the Carlsbad Current on November 20, 1908.  A daily edition, the Evening Current, was published from April 16, 1917, through December 14, 1918; the Carlsbad Current absorbed the Evening Current’s subscriber list when it ceased publication.
