From Our Regular Correspondent.
 WILLIAMS, A. T.,
 May a4th, 1886.
 The CHAMPION comes tc us regu- larly, and is eagerly looked for each week. It has improved under its pre- sent control, until it IS, indeed, a very neat and readable sheet
 As Williams IS tributary to Flagstaff, and 0ite 8erSa, and as your paper is the organ and champion of the inter eStS of all within the reach of its be- nign teachings, we dare beg a portion of your space to some of our "etch- ings!"
 WILLIAMS
 Was once the metropolis of the north. ern part of Arizona. Pegs and sharp sticks are visible all over our plaza and ma n streets, where once stood the myriad tents and "shaky shan ties" Times grew dull, the nom4dies "folied their tents and silently stole away" Some shanties were tore down others caught fire and burned, until now we are a quiet, unassu'ning, un. ostentatious littie burg, nestled under the craggy and gorgeous brow of old Bill Williams, in a park beautiful in the splendor of its contour and is growth of grass, flowers and trees.
 From the nunOsr of grangers We observe around the town we are forci- bly reminded of Kansas life, A great many are planting large gardens, and with some of the seed they are exp!r. lmentlag. It IS thought, with proper test, thls country may "show down" some agricultural qualities yet.
 OVERALL DlNCE. Did you ever hear of one? Williams had one the night of the 18th inst. No dudes were admitted. He was ont of luck who had no overallS or was unable to buy or borrow. The cow boys were in here on the rodco, and as one said Chad forgotten our tooth pick shoes, starched shirts and tight itu0g brooches, and when in Rome, let Rome do as we do."

 Wm, Wood shipped from this place on the 10th twcnty-two horses for the Kansas City market. He went with them, and now there is another widow in town.
 Mrs. Stone, who has been living in California, and her father, MT. C. T. Rogers, who has been visiting her, gre again at their old home Tn this place.
 C. E. Boyce has turned COW boy and IS now on the rodeo.
 John Brcezley has entered the em- p'oy of the Arizona Cutie Co.
 Henry See, who was bitten by a skank some three weeks ago, is getting alright, and the wolnI ;s rapidly healing. No bad results are anticiplt- ed from the same. Mss Lgans, of Kansas City, is wis ting her brother, rhnmns, at thi, place. It had been ten years since they had seen each other.

Physicians HAYS Found OUT

That communicating and foreign ele-
ment in the blood, developed by indiges-
ton, is the cause of rhematism. This
settles upon the sensitive sub cutaneOus
covering of the muscles and ligaments of
the joints, causing constant and shifting
pain, and aggregating as a calcareous,
chalky deposit which produces stiffness
and distortion of the joints. No fact,
which experience has demonstrated in
regard to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
has stronger evidence to support than
this, namely, that this medicine of com
prehensive uses checks this formidable
and atrocious disease, nor is it less posi-
lively established that 1t is preferable to
the poisOns often used to arrest it, since
the medicine contains only salutary in
gradients. 1t is also n signal remedy for
malarial fevers, constipation, dyspepsia,
kidney and bladder ailments, debility and
other disorders. See that you get the
genuine.
