The Record of n Week as RecOrde,
I'm the .Record'' Of Last Saturday.
Bishop Poliys Of Washington County
Utah, came whooping into town just
week ago, after an absence Of three years
The Bishop looks as natural as ever, an
he came to Phoebe for the express purpos
Of renewing old acquaintance and spend
ing the holidays.
Phoebe nearly met with a great disaste
the past week. DR.. Bell came very neal
passing in T" his checks on Life's bank
Through some incomprehensible cause til,
Doctor made a mistake and took a dose o
his own medicine, and it came very neal
annihilating him.
Phoebe Lodge No. 20, I. o. o. F., a
their meeting held last Tuesday evening
elected the following officers G. M. Hop
kins, Il. c.; VIM. Bell, v. g.; s. d.
Smith, Secretary /; d. A. Fulks, Treasurer
j. Behr, G.. r. Alexander and r. II. Elan
were chosen Trustees.
superintendent McNally reports the
Day mine looking splendidly, and appears
well satisfied with his charge. Mr.. Duff
OF the Meadow Valley Company went
through the mine q couple Of days ago,
and like all others who have visited the
property, was favorably impressed with it.
VIM. Hanley, the man who cut his
throat q short time since while crazed with
liquor, disobeyed the doctors orders, and
on Christmas came out Of the house and
got on a spree, and succeeded in ripping
some OF the stitching in his throat. The
doctor sewed the wound up again. 1t is a
pity that q community is compelled to
support such a worthless fellow.
The next best place for improvement,
and we are speaking in all seriousness, too,
Messrs. County Fathers, is that hereafter
when you want any little job work done,
such as printing letter heads, legal blanks,
tax receipts, county warrants, etc., and
can't get it done at fair and reasonable
prices, don't send down to San Francisco
for them, but keep the money at home.
There has been a petition in circulation
in Phoebe and vicinity requesting the Gov
nmen not to discontinue the mail SER
vice between Phoebe and Mineral Park
Arizona. II this line should be discon-
tinued it would be a severe blow to the
residents OF the lower portion Of Lincoln
County, as this is the route that supplies
their mail, and is the only inter-mountain
route connecting Nevada and Utah with
the mining camps of Northern Arizona.
II is by this route that Cerbat, Mineral
Park, Golden Basin, aud other places in
Arizona get their mail from the north.
We certainly need a mail service between
Phoebe and Northern Arizona.
The burial of Little Georgia Drew's
body took place Saturday afternoon, and
the funeral was largely attended by nu-
merous friends. Most Of the people out
at the Medina mine came into town Friday
evening and Saturd ay morning to attend
the funeral. The child resided at the Me-
dina mine, which is in an isolated place,
surrounded by high hills, with no scenery
whatever, and, being naturally a bright
child, with modest, winning ways, she
soon gained the affection of the miners
and was looked upon as the pet of the
camp" and her death caused many OF the
men to utter signs Of sorrow, although her
death was not unexpected, for she had
been suffering with the disease and some
times had been laying in a critical condi-
ton within the past three years.
