The nineteenth century is the nge Of

might have added with equal truth, land

and speculation for science, until we look
askance at every new person or thing,
and to an assertion of merit invariably ex-
claim, Prove it," In brief, Satan has
made himself so omnipresent that we look
for his cloven foot everywhere-evcn in a
bottle of medicine. Imagine II lady, hav'
ing "a complexion so salow that you would
deny her claims to the Caucasian type if
her features did not conform to it, purchas
ing her first bottle of the Golden Medical
Discovery. The one dollar is paid in the
very identical manner in which Mr. Tay-
lor might be expected to purchase lottery
ticket with -" No. 104, 163," with this diff
ference, his doubt would be the result of
personal experience, while hers would be
founded on what certain practitioner
(who has been whole year trying to cor
rect her refractory iver) has said concern
ing it. At home, she examines the bottle

carefully, takes the prescribed dose more
carefully, and then proceeds to watch TIT
result with rs much anxiety as n practl-
TONER would count the pulse beats of q dy'
ING man. She takes another dose, anr
another, and shows the bottle to her
friends, telling them she D." feels better. '
Her skin loses its bilious tint. her eyes
regain their lustre, her accustomed energy
returns, and The fact that she purchases
another bottle is Il sure witness that SHIT
has found the Golden Discovery TO be
reliable remedy for the disease indicated
The lady wisely re Olives that in future he

The Vermont registration reports show
that in 1872 the number of children born
in this State of American parentage was H.
1888, of foreign parentage 1852; in 1873
American 1922, foreign 2,056; and in
1874. American 1868, foreign 2,063, show
ing that the proportion of American births
is Increasing and that of foreign decreas
ing; and, as the last registration repor
says, there is no just ground of apprehen
sion that the foreign population will out
number the American for many years II
come. There were seventeen births tC
every thousand of the American popula
ton, and forty-three to every thousand o
the foreign population; while in 1874, tn
number of American was eighteen ant
one-half and of foreigners forty-one.

IMPROVEMENTS still continue in Flor ence. MT. Collingwood's new house Is fast approaching completion. MT. John J. Devine has been remodeling his house,
 putting on new roof and furnishing it
 with neatly cased doors and windows
 Mir. Brown, of THE CITIZEN office, has a new house nearly completed on one of hls blocks on the Wheat addition. Mir. Guindani's new restaurant will be habita- ble by the 18th. The foundations Of the new Courthouse are nearly all completed they are one and a half feet above the surface Of the ground Of rock laid in cem- ent. Colonel RuggIes has several thous- and adobes made for his new mansion and several other parties are now having adobes made for the immediate construc- ton Of neat residences. Considering the hard times, Florence is doing we'll in the matter Of building, and we will soon claim as comfortable homes as can be found in the West.

L CAL MATTERS.
Library in Florence.

A carefully selected library is almost A
 necessity in Florence-and for that matter
 In all towns. A few dollars apiece from our citizens would purchase many books, and books too, of great value in the pro- lsecution of the several leading interests
 of this town and county. A good library
 need not embrace many volumes, but
 must contain those relating to our leading industries. It is Q great mistake that
 many people make, in understanding the
 practical use Of books in conducting the
 more common and prominent business pursuits. 4 few standard works on fruit
 growing; on tree growing generally; on
 gardening; on horses, cattle, sheep and hogs; on poultry; on grains and grasses in
 general; on irrigation; on mining and
 metallurgy, etc., should be first obtained
 and let others follow. A few journals de- voted to the interests named would be
 very valuable as keeping the community
 posted on all useful facts ascertained from
 week to week, by experience and scientific
 investigations. Standard histories, bio-
 graphies, works of travellers, etc., are in-
 structive and entertaining, but the people should first and above all things be as Thoroughly as possible acquainted with
 the best methods and processes insepara-
 ble from their daily pursuits. The subject of irrigation is one Of first importance to Florence and vicinity. Few people know Just how to best construct irrigation works, tO say nothing of the ignorant application Of water to various plants, although irrI- gation has been extensively used in grow ling food for man and beast ever since the creation Of the world. Some Of the most Interesting and entertaining history of India, Italy. China and other old coun- Itries, is that which describes their vast and almost perfect systems Of irrigation; how kings and emperors put forth their best efforts to improve the systems and in so doing secured the gratitude of their people. The water Of the Gila should do, and in time must be made to do, ten times the service 1t is now doing. But this is drifting from the subject. Let our people think favorably Of this library project
 Even Sl00 worth Of books would be a val uable beginning, if the right books were obtained. This sum invested In text
 books as indicated in the first part Of this item, would be Of great advantage to most all our people and to many would open
 new worlds Of thought and more profita-
 ble work and action. The expense Of maintaining the library for awhile, need
 be nothing; al least We think some Of our .cheerfully take proper charge of the books for nothing. Who will be first to move in the matter9 Can we not begin now to
 build up library which shall be a nOta-
 bic feature of Florence?

OUR'eficient County Recorder, Mir. John J. Deyine, left on Tuesday for Globe City and McMillen Camp, whither bis business connections called him, and where he has some valuable mining property. Through his characteristic energy Mir. Divine has been instrumental in bringing about sev- eral important sales of mining property in and about McMillen's Camp, thus interest ing influential California mining men and bringing into the Territory large amount of capital. Mir. Devine is wide awake to our vital mining interests, and is doing his share of hard work in the developing of Arizona, while now and then he gives our California friends little game of chin chin that does'nt do the country any harm.
