 Wm. Black arrived here from Pres colt this week on visit to relatives and friends. Mr. Black is one of oul go-ahead, progressive cattle men, and has fine herd of cattle and ranch short distance distance from town.
 Our old.time friend John O'Don nell, whom we have known for years, !, is in from his ranch about fifteen miles west of town, purchasing sup plies. John looks as hale and hearty as he did ten years ago. Old Father Time has surely been very kind to him.
 Major Geo. Hoxworth. whom everybody in Flagstaff knows. has inst received at his store large assort- ment of toys of all descriptions, the very articles to make the httle folks happy, bY putting them in their stock ings on Christmas Eve.
 l. s. Morris. of the Mineral Belt railroad. M, ]. Riordan aud Geo Eddy, who have been visiting Los Angeles and other towns in Southern California, returned here this week, They say that the towns visited bv them are full of Eastern people, who have gone there to spend the winter.
 We wish to inform stockmen that we are prepared to furnish cuts of stock, of any design or shape, on short notice. Parties dcsirins the same can br accom- nodated by calling at this office or b, ending their orders by mail, which will receive prompt attention
 Dr. D. ]. Brannen & Go. have just received a large and assorted stock of Christmas and New Years sgoodS, con siSting of Christmas cards, books, toys of all kinds for the children, al buns, jew@lrv, scarf pins, gents vest chains, candies, nuts, cigars, etc, which they are selling very low.
 
 Mondays east bound freight train brought two of Wells, Fargo x Co. s cars and one Pullman that were a part of the passenger tram that -an off the track near Peach Springs last week. The ends of the cars were broken in and the running gear was completely broken up. How no ac- cident or loss of life occurred in such a smash-up seems almost miracle.
 The EaOhitt Bros, who several months ago purchased the entire herd of cattle belonging to Warren x Hos ley, are now permanently located in our town, they having leased the range and ranch of Jonn Clark, or as it is more generally called, Clark valley, tor five years with the privi- lege of purchasing. The gentlemen comprising this firm are among some of our heaviest stock owners, and nave come 10 stay. This class of men are an agreeable acquisition to Flag staff, and we hope to see dWlng the coming year many more industrious, enterprsIng men locate in and around our mountain town.
