Salt River herald., 1878-09-28

singing. Last Tuesday night we were awakened from sweet dreams of paid up subscriptions, column ads, and other etceteras that bring joy to the country editors heart, but which are never realized save in dreams, by great discord, such as might make the dead get up out of their graves and stuff cotton in their ears. We were for 8 moment in doubt whether it was the amorous vail of q love lOrn burro or full chorus of disre- putable horse-fiddlers, when the eX- ecrable idiOtic refrain of Kalama- zoO-mazan" revealed the personality of our prosecutors. We give them fair warning that we are prepared for any further visits from amateur serc- naders. The roller-mould is loaded to the muzzle with pica slugs, and we will stake our reputation as a prophet that the next time they come around there will not be enough left of their anatomy to set q nonpareil epitaph over.
 Messrs. Humphreys and Wright are constructing d first class hotel on the corner of Washington and Center streets. It will be q one-story frame 50 feet on the first named street md 1311s on the latter. The dining room will be run on the European plan. A sitting and reading room for gentle men, q ladies parlor and neat little office, besides large number of bed rooms, all neatly and tastefully fur nished, will rank it as one of the best institutions of the kind in Arizona. It is something long needed in Phe- nix.
 MR. E. IRVINE, of the Tienda Bara- la or cheap store, displays very at tractive stock of goods. His assort- ments arc large enough to contain choice for everybody. The Tienda Barata is not merely an empty name, but instead an appellation truly de- served. It is q cheap store, without dedication, and goods are sold on a small profit. The store is well stock ed with substantial goods, and shows much enterprise by occupying the largest advertisement in the HERALD Read it, on the first page.
 We have been informed that tele- gram has been received from Tucson, sent by John Mullen. who is in SOno- ra, stating that he has captured three stage horses, and one of the robbers who took in the west bound coach, twenty miles east of Maricopa Wells, on the morning of September 3d. The authorities refused to give up the prisoner, and Mullen was staying with ms man at last accounts. Mul- | len was one of the men who left Phe- nix in pursuit shortly after the rob- bery.
 The postmaster received a letter during the past week, stating that the order to supply Phenix with daily mail had been rescinded. A petition is now being circulated to provide us with better mail facilities, but if it takes the usual course, we will never hear of it again after it leaves Phe- nix. When the railroad gets to Mari copa Wells all these abuses will be rccted.
 NJ. L. Peralta has opened out in the store lately occupied by A. Goldberg. He has on hand a large stock, which must be disposed of to make room for goods en route from San Francisco. His advertisement says his prices are lower than the lowest, and as it costs nothing to price his goods, all would perhaps do well by calling on him.
 We call attention to the advertise ment of the new boot and shoe store just opened. Their stock is large and complete, and having superior work men they cannot fail to give satisfac- ton in all cases. Their store is just south of the HERALD office.
 Mir. Edwards. our next door neigh bor. is about leaving for Los Angeles. He has only been in business in Phe- nix for q few months, and has made enough money to keep him in con- fort the rest of his days
 Williams x Bourley advertise their meat market in this issue. They arc Obliging and accommodating gentle men, and keep only the very best in their line. Patronize them,
 Wm. Holland, of the Chinese res taurant, advertiscs that he has re- duced the price of single meals to fifty cents. His place is next 10 Cot tons billiard parlOr.
 All persons having claims against the estate of John \. Parker or John Knauss will find administrator no tices under the head of new advertise mcnts.
 Rev. Wm. Myers has received hi.
