 The election for Councilmen takes place ccording to the Governors proclamation on he 18th ult The candidates for the posi- ion are J. E. Naylor and King s. Woolsey. here is considerable speculation as to the esult, though no great excitement, as both andidatcs are considered amply qualified ,r the position. The race will be very lose one. Mr. H. H. Linville, who bought ,me time since the Starrer farm near town, [, nd moved here from Santa Barbara, Cal. w weeks since, started for the end of the lilroad where he will leave his teams and 9 to Los Angeles and lay in supplies for le coming year. He says the prices of hoenix are little too stiff for him. No ( oubt it would be we'll for many of our far CTS to follow the example of MT. Linville. hich would perhaps result in a reduction prices in our town stores. Much that is :: Id by our merchants could certainly be f eatly reduced in price and still leave them f thriving profit Quite number of Globe istrict miners are in town on attendance at 1 urt. They report times lively at the | lobe. V Tom Hayes, our Ex-Sheriff has rented the f loenix hotel, which is now undergoing re- c irs and will be opened in few days. 'm will no doubt make first class land I'd as first class fellows generally do, and ere can be no doubt of his success in the I, lsiness, as a good hotel is the want of the Il VII. Mrs. Hayes will superintehd the culi- " department and any one who has eaten- \ neal of her preparation will know where N go in Phoenix for square" Geo. E al ring Esq. of this place agent for the MI m R and who has nice jewelry establish tl mt, news depot and confectionery combi- H l, is the happiest fellow in town as his al fe and child have recently arrived from o' , hub of the universe. George is a first Is I,s ss fellow and as he deserves to do is con- .h nding good patronage. It is rumored de t young attorney of Phoenix and our lo livery man, the first two letters of whose pr ne is James Monohan are about to make wi latrimonial raid upon farmers family in he valley. The Maricopa Library asso- tic ton is in a flourishing condition. They lat Q public entertainments quite frequently
 ch are very creditable. The Union Sab. b School is we'll attended. Mir. Issaacs
