 Another pioneer socisty i being worked up. One of tho republics for membarsip is that its member must have come to Arisoos during from 1875 to 1885. and in every instance the person applying for membership must establish that he came to Arizona for the good oa Arizona, and he must prove by at least two persons resident of his old home that the name he sssumes hefe H tho one he was known by at homs.-Star.

 It is quite evident to the observinl that thers are evidences on every hand of a near and permanent prosperous fu ture for Arisona. not of one section only but of every section of the territory. and of every industry. Those who have weathered the storm and have not los' their grip and courage, will yet be rec ompensed for all they have endured. sl they have lost and the Encouragement they have met. The important thinl for the old timers is to gird up their loinl and once more strike out and determint to win what they have lost during th' dark and evil days brought upon the ter ritory by Apache depredstions and vilt cat speculstions.-6tar.
 The Epitaph. speaking of the dcfes of General D. K. Wardwell. for the Lem hi Indian agency, gives the old man th' following plaintive send-od: "rhe sun
 rise of his prosperity is fast recedinl from view. and the government to whicl he gave the best years of his life on th' field of battle, fighting for the Gbertie
 of her peopls, now under the adminia tr.tion of . democratic president. he | left to the tender msrcies os an ungrste
 full party. The Epitaph is of the opin ion that sn old soldier. who fought 10 the stsrs and stripes. is not in goo
 standing with the present sdministrs ton. Tho old man has his faults, .
 has all mon. but the many years of gal
 lant service given to his country entitle him to her consideration in the declin
 ing years of bis life."
