We have just been visited by quite q
heavy snow, and the indications are n
good whoat crop for 1887.
Wheat sowing is progressing slowly

Of every five have finished as yet.
Cotton picking is over and the crops
arc short Of what was expected.
Master Louis Pratt, son of Mr.. Robert
Pratt, is quite sick with rheumatism, and
has been for several days.
Mr.. Noble Bell. we learn, has made
more cotton than any man in Level Land
to the mount Of cotton planted, from
the fact he kncws how to cultivate the
weed. He is one among the best Of our
farmers, and possesses sterling qualities
of head and heart.
We learn there is to he another festi-
val ut Little River church christmas for
the purpose Of raising funds for the
church. We have always doubted the
propriety Of getting up funds upon that
principle. 1t seems incompatible with
the teachings Of Holy writ.
We learn that Captain j. l.. Robinson
contcmplates painting his new house at
ar early day. He has erected quite a
handsome building since he was Gle
waited to the office Of Trial Justice.
Mrs. S. G. Callahan. late Of Level

Col. Dean has been badly disappoint- cd of late. When the musician died last week, the Colonel thought he saw . fee in store and was preparing to operate on the corpse. The doctor however fixed the matter up without his assistance. A few days latter Councilman R4fferty heard that man had taken poison at the Sunnyside House. He at once sent down message to the colonel to hold himself in readiness. The latter went to work, swept out his office for the first time in two years-hun,ed up the sec ton of the statutes regarding the impan- elment of jurors and marked it with a piece of paper. Then he took a walk down the street and meeting pr. Willis asked him when he was goIRg to send the corpse up. "Why," said the doctor "I've pumped him out. He's all right" The Colonel now VOWS that when man takes poison again he'll take out an in junction against the doctors to preven, them interrupting.

Mir Bagg, the proprietor of the "Baggs Agitators'" troupe, became offended be. cause the EPITAPH presented its bill for the long notice of the show. This was done in accordance with the EpITApH's invariable rule, to make Boycotters pay strictly cash. Mir. Bagg vented his spleen on the tonsorial establishment of Messrs. Bauer & Baron, from whose care he removed the Bagg shaving cup, in- forming them that no razor should touch the Bagg cheek in shop where the EPITAPH was taken. The proprietors, who are gentlemen of spirit, naturally objected to be dictated to by such a per. son as Mir. Bagg, and he will con sequently get his shaving done else where, while the EpITAPH will still be found at Bauer & Baron's shop. These gentlemen will doubtless receive more than sufficient extra patronage from our independent citizens to make up for the loss of that of the great circus proprie. tor.

Proclamation.
To the Citizens of Tombstone and the rest of the civilized world:

To the Citizens of Tombstone and the
 rest of the civilized world:
 You are we'll aware of the ohjec's fol which the Tombstone BoycotlinG League was organized, yir:
 Ist. The obtaining of official posi- tions, SO we'll deserved, for the public spirited leaders of this movement, who are all disinterested friends of the horny handed sons of toil.
 md. The demolition and extinction of that vile publication. the EplTApH, which at present monOpolizes the local newspaper field, to the great injury of a worthy family, prominently connected with this league, who are disinterested friends of the horny. handed sons of toll.
 3rd. The driving out of opposition furniture dealers, who are running the business of the only original and genuine pioneer friend of the harny-handed sons of toll.
 This league has been organized but few weeks and, in that time, . great amount of good has been accomplished, IS Chinamen having left our city, ewhile only IS have arrived, showing a net gain of three departures. or the I74 still here, I75 get only three square meals . day. This much has been accomplished in spite of the bitter opposition of the five or six hundred an,i-Boycotters, who have nothing but tbeis- responsibility, wealth and long-Nanding in the com- munity to recommend them. Aided by that miserable EPITApH, they have, by their continued insults, only succeeded in swelling our ranks to the number of 8,3io members.
 This country is threatened by horde of foreigners, with whor, we cannot com pete. As your speakers have often told you, they are smarter than you. They learn quicker and refuse to get drunk or stand mp for their rights like good Chris tians. Therefore,
 BE IT KNOWN; That all who here after shall, in any way, shape or form, have any intercourse with any person who, directly or indirectly, employs or patronizes any person, who employs or patrOnizes Chinamen, shall be and is hereby debarred from all the rights and privileges conferred upon him by the American constitution.

 The anti Chinese League held meet
 ihg las, night. It was hardly worth re
 porting, but then the EprrAPH is alway'
 the second 10 "get left"
 The band from the Elite Varieties wa.
 employed to furnish harmonious wind al
 the rate of seven dollars---cash in ad
 vance---for two hours.
 When the EPITAPH man presented
 himself at the door, he was asked if he belonged to the League, by the genial sergeant.at-arms, Frank Broad. The F.. NJ. stated that he was an American citi- zen and pleaded guilty 10 the charge of te,ng no member of the League. The genial door-keeper los, no time in firing him from the door, but z moment after wards recalled him and presented his reportorial nibs to the chairman, his honor the mayor It was decided and distinguished epoch. There was Bill Nash at the secretary's desk; Mayor Thomas at his position as president, and the irrepressible crockery-eysd Gall, in all his pristine loveliness, with his httle seven by nine cabeza sand. papered es. pecially for the occasion. He bobbed up with his usual frequency, and casting a semi: Stockton look at the EPITAPH man, suggested tina. the EPIrAPH be boycotted. Same resolution passed uSapimously two months ago. The president, knowing that his royal nibs had walked into town last winter, followed by dinsy flag of truce, told the gentleman(a) ts hold down the bench, until some of the citizens of the Republic of Tombstone could secure an opportunity to give expression to their opinions. Several excellent men--hard- working miners-attempted to express their honest opinions, but old man Reilly had front seat, and being loaded te the muzzle, cut them all of. This old gen tleman has an idea that he knows some. thing, but he is delaying voucher in that line very late in life. He is a good deal like the tramp printer, he pops up at the wrong tune, and entirely too numer. ous. He was loaded, however, and the sewers of disjointed eratory were copi- eusly filled with the old mans sickly and balderdash.
 When the "thing" got down to busi- ness, the following resolutions were passed:
 That Tomlinson, of the Democrat, be boycotted.
 That Dan leuch, of the Maison Doree, go the same way.
 That members of the League have no business with the Cochise County Bank.
 That the San Jose lodging house is no good.
 That Colonel Herring has family of women who should do their own work.
 That Stebbins is mo good," on gen. eral principles.
 That the Cochise Hardware Company is "velly bad"
 When all these edicts, had been pre- mulgatsd, the meeting was abost ready to dissolve, but Gall and Reilly were 90 heavily charged that the meeting took recess to permit them to talk to the pres. ident's vacant seat.
 There are some good men in the League, and there were several of them cut last night, but they had no shsw, owing to such ora,orical roosters as psor old Reilly and the thin.skinned Call bladder who owns the town--in his mind.
