pleasant affairs of the kind that has oc-
CURED in Phoebe for some time. An un-
usuel number Of our citizens graced the

The CRo7s.-The ranchers throughout
the county report the crops as doing
we'll and think that this years crop will
be very bountiful one. The indication
ia that the late rains and SHOWS have
acted like charm on the hills and in
the valleys and that the ranges will be
covered with grass. The fruit in this
portion OF the county has been entirely
killed, the snow storm on Sunday last
blasting the little hopes the settlers OF
Panaca entertained of raising any fruit.
Piochers will now. as they have done
heretofore. be compelled to content
themselves eating pork and beans instead
of strawberries and cream.
