The AGRICULTURALAs ASSOCIATION.
AT meeting of the stockholders of
the Valley Agricultural Association,
held on the 2Sth of March the following
resolutions were adopted:
RESOLVED, That it is the judgment of
this meeting, that the affairs of the as
| ISOLATION be closed as speedily as posi-
BILE and no further fairs be held.
RESOLVED, That committee of four
be appointed by the chair to
report to an adjourned meeting to be
held on the 18th day of April, 1885, at
ii O'Clock, a. M, as to whether it will
be best to sell the ground and buildings
of this association as a whole, or i'm
lots, and if in lots, they are authorized
if they deem it proper, to employ asur-
veyor to lay the same off and return
plat with their report of said decision.
That settles it, we suppose, unless
new stock company is formed, who will
take the fair in hand and make it what
it should be-asuccess. We cannot be.
lieve that the farmers, mechanics and
business men oft the county will let such
an enterprise be doomed to extinction.
Surely the soil of Berkeley county is as
rich and productive as that Of our sis
ter counties Of Washington and Fred
erick Surely the interests of our peo-
pie are as worthy to be enhanced as are
theirs? Then why let the association
collapse ? Mutual confidence, copjoint-
ed energy anda united, strong pull may
yet carry the association over the break
ers.

Chinese Gordon.

A biography ofthis remarkable man ought to be interesting reading, e5pe- cially if written by the famous hero- journalist and vetern war correspond. ent, Archibald Forbes. It is not, therefore, surprising to see numerous editions of it published. First there was the English edition, of course at a high price, then a reprint at ST per copy, by an American "high. priced" publisher; now follows the "Literary Revolution" edition, large handsome type, neat cloah binding, for only 50 cents! The publisher John B. Alden, 3o3 Pearl street, New York, will send a hundred pages descriptive catalogue of his publication, covering the entire field of standard literature, free to any applicant.

Its subscription price is only 75 cents year, though it will rival the high priced magazines in the amount and quality of its attractions. A specimen copy will be sent to any applicant for waiding his address by postal card to the publisher, John B. Alden, 3os Pearl street, New York.

| It is, as rule, no credit on tht
 part of newspaper to make public
 the quarrels and grievances between
 neighbors. Until a man is beyond
 the limitations of decency and going
 at full gallop down the well defined
 channel of blackguardism, we do not
 think it just to make public example
 of him. The best of men, in fit of passion, sometimes commit a breech they would condemn in another, and after which they are truly repentant after the sober second thought. This leads us to say that these so-called "scrapping matches" are becoming too frequent in this community, espe- cially among that class of our citizens who should feel bound by the law of decency to set good example to their fellow. men and to the young and rising generation. But we di- gress, as we merely intend to give friendly word of warning, and add that such exhibitions are more than the average newspaper man can with- stand these dull times. The next "set-to" will be published with the names of principals, seconds, stake and bottle holders, number of rounds, first blood, etc., in the most approved and graphic style. If any one feels agrieved at this timely hint he must seek redress at the hands of the fight ing editor.
 Application have been made to Sc cretary Van Arman by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad for such statistics of the resources of the Territory as he might possess, to be disseminated through the emigration bureau Of the railroad mentioned. Owing to the edition of Hamilton's works having been exhausted, this ex- ceptionally fine opportunity offered the Territory to place its inducements for emigration where much good would undoubtedly accure was lost. Had Secretary Van Arman the au. thority to place at the disposal of the A. T. & s. F. a number of copies of each issue of every paper in the Territory, the good which would have directly resulted in consequence would be treble what could be accom- plished by the dry and dulky deserta- tons on the Territory and its advan. tasei. The truth of the proposition is SO self-evident that the members of the next Legislature will need no arsu- ment to convince them that certain sum paidTerritorial papers foralimited number of coples for free distribution would be one of the most profitable investments that could be made to- wards insuring increased capital and population.

Chas. T. Hayden, of Maricopa county, in letter to Governor Tritle favors junction of the two Arizona railroads south of Flagstaff. MT. Hayden talks like man with head of his own, and in a manner we think worthy of consideration: The Flag staff and Globe R. R. being built without any connection with this val ley would undoubtedly give the pro- duce trade of the whole line to Kan sas and California.
 The most favorable route from this valley to Prescott is by the head of Camy creek on to the head of Cave creek, thence it would be little out of the way to pass near the United Yer de mine instead of following up the upper Agua Fria direct to Prescott.
 A practicable route from the head of Cave creek about twenty miles long would connect this route with the Flagstaff and Globe railroad sur. vey near the quartz mill on the East Verde, which would give our valley and the whole country below us. the nearest access to abundant timber and the sale of products on the whole line as we'll as their exchange for the timber we so much need, while the route would be the nearest to the coal fields of the north, and the line would run directly towards the Utah and Colorado systems of railroads. Could Prescott and the United Verde mines throw their business over this line and cause 1t to be built, would it not cover their necessities by furnishing an out let by railroad through the most i'm portant part of your county1

 The subject of entertaining and wholesome reading for the frmily cir- cle is one ofpractical interest in every household. It cannot be denied that the tendency of the American press is in too large . degree toward sensational ism and in some instances even the sentiments of purity and sacredness prove an insufficient barrier against the ali-pervading desire of being novel and startling in the presentation of news. The exception to this com mon rule among metropolitan jour nals of the day are so few as to be worthy of notice when encountered. The Chicago Weekly News is one Of the few papers ot which it may be strictly said that nothing objection. able to pure thought and morality even appears in its columns. It IS an enterprising paper-none in the West more so-but more than that is is a clean paper, one that is safe to take into the family circle. The Chicago Weekly News and the CHAMPION will both be sent to any address, for $ 50 a year, postage included. Send sub Scriptions to this office.

University Lands.

By dint of inquiry we have received information which, although not off cial, we take as reliable that the Uni versity lands in this vicinity are To- cated on the following sections in town a1 and range ,: Nos 6, 8, IS, s4, 26, 2S, 30, B, 34, and section 26 in range 6. The correct publica- tion of these lands that are withheld from entry would have saved much trouble, expense and disappointment to many settlers in this vicinity.
