 Bob Weathered, a former in- merchant of Shakespeare and Duncan, returned recently from California, and will remain with us awhile. There is a pecu- liar fascination, an indescribable something in the surroundings of this vicinity, which acts as a mag net upon the old timer, and un- consciously compels him to return nolens volens. Your cor does not wish to con- vey the idea that Bob was actuated by any selfish motive in returning to Lordsburg, far from it. He is but following out the decrees of fate, and who knows but that Bob may yet meet with his affinity in this locality.
