The Quaint Dnnkards.

At Manchester, Ind, a quaint and
most peculiar religious body has been in
conference assembled, who are we'll
within the third quarter of their second
century Of religious activity on this con-
tinent.
The Indiana conference represents the
western Dunkards, a Baptist sect 81 Ger
man descent. The principal portion Of
this peculiar people IS found located in
Pennsylvania and Indiana, though there
is a considerable numter in Kansas, aud
smaller congregations in the farming
sections Of other western states. Tho
German Bapti3ts or Dunkards number
over GO, 600, have $50 churches or con-
gregations, and 1878 ministers. They
are governed by bishops. The Pennsyl-
vania Duakard is of stoidest 'Dutch'
order Their traditional head quarters
are at Germantown, but they have
scattered widely therefrom. They are
always farmers and rural mechanics,
and are always well-to-do. The Dunk
ard wears clothes OF coarse gray cloth
cut 10 the Quakerish fashion; the
women are not permitted jcwelry, lace
or "dress improyers," and wear poko
bonnets Of the homeliest hideousnesa.
while the mea wear for headge a stiff,
broad brlmmed felt hat, not wholly Ia
becoming to them. They are very sim
pie and formal ia manners, each sex
saluting their own members with kiss
on meeting. The men arc always clean
shaver. Out in indiana the question
Of permitting younger males to grow
moustaches has been under consider
alton. It has been decided against
them.
Alexander Mack founded this strange
sect in Germany in 1708. Rigid adj
herence to the forms instituted By
Christ himself and urged upon His fol-
lowers by the Apostle Paul, and plain
ness and manners, were the two iunda-
mental principles in the creed. II was
a creed that proved so attractive that it
was accepted ~ hundreds within a
year or two, and tho earlier experiences
Of the Friends were repeated.
As aresut Of this Pastor Mack or
gained an emigration to the colony
founded by Mr. Penn. The entire church
migrated. Landing in Boston they
moved to Philadelphia and on Christ
mas Day 1924, formed their first con-
greeation ia America 1t the house Of
John Gomery Germantown. The Dun
Yards were stroag WHY'S during the
Revolution. There were some 5000 ia
attendance at tho Iadiaas con'ersneo. =

A letter from Paris informs US that
the doctors are again at war with silly
mothers belonging to the fashionable

painting to little children. In the pub

may now be seen whose eyebrows have
been BACKED or dyed by their senseless
mothers. Other anxious parents, dis

hue Of their children's cheeks, carefully
powder them before sending them forth
to meet the gaze and criticism Of the
world. Little coquettes Of ten years
are not permitted to 90 abroad until the
regulation black stroke has been paint

warn the mothers that when the chill

The sun shone pleasantly in the sit

where his daughter Kate and young
lady friend were practising new duet
on the piano.
Somehow Miss Kate, who was very
proficient in music, and played readily
at sight, made great many mistakes
this morning, and growing impatient,
rose abruptly from the instrument and
declared she wouldn't play another
note.

THE J. D. Reymert mine at De Noon, near Pinal, which has been under the personal management of Judge J. D. Walker during tie past three months, is proving itself to be one of the finest mining properties in the Territory. It has but recently reached the stage of pro- duction and a run of forty days gave a cleanup of $19,O00 in silver bullion. The system and economy introd uced by Judge Walker have placed the property upon fine paying basis and with like future management its abundant ores ought certainly to be made to pay hand some dividends for many years. Mir. Walkers successful experience with the Vekol and his more recent rejuvenation n of the J. D. Reymert mine fully domon- strate his superior ability in the practical management of mining properties and fully confirm the confidence his friends possess in his good judgment and rare executive ability.

Range Animals.

The cold weather has prevented tine free circulation of the stockmen, but We have heard enough to justify us ill stat ing that the snow and cold have not caused any serious losses to any of them. Arizona Is fortunate in having so many different attitudes and climates and such warm, generous sunshine. Mountains rise high out of plains and mesas. In them snow falls deep, but does not long remain upon their southern exposures. When snow begins to come in the mountains, stock start for the foot hills, mesas and valleys, where the climate is warmer and feed does not get showed under. So, there never has bee.l, never will, be any great loss of stock from severe cold Then, blizzards are unknown here and there is but little drifting of snow. Again, our snow storms are of generally short duration.
 With these things in their favor, all our stockraisers have to look to IS to the improvement of their stock; to see that ranges are not over-cro wded; to scatter suitable grass seeds at seasonable times; to guard against the importation of diseased cattle; catch and punish stock thieves, and prosperity cannot but come to them Courier.

IN another column will be found tabulated statement of the financial staAd ing of Pinal county on the 3lst day of December 1887. The total floating in debtedness was $22 ,911.3 39, andthe bond ed indebtedness, since paid, was 5000 The bonded indebtedness of school dis trict No. 1, for the payment of which the credit of the county is pledged, amounts to SIP, 900, making grand total, in- cluding the school-dis trict bonds, of S37, . s1L3s. Against this sum the county holds real estate and personal property valued at $17, 300, with cash in the treas ury amounting to $50, ,9O7 5S, leaving an indebtedness if the school bonds, not yet matured, were paid, and the coanty's real estate and personal property are omitted, of SC, ,9O3.SO or, deducting the value of the county's property, an ex- cess of $596, 20 over every species of in debtedness. This is indeed splendid financial showing and one that reflects credit upon the management of the county's affairs In future the rate of taxation, now lower than that of any other county in the Territory, will likely be reduc ed, while the assessable proper ty will be materially increased and within the present year the county will be upon cash basis. Intending settlers will find these figures full of significance in influencing their choice of location, for the rate of taxation and the condi- tion of county's finances are true in dices of its merits.

EVIDENCE of the growth of the interest abroad in this section of Arizona IS shown by the numerous requests for copies ot THE ENTERPRISE and the descriptive folders recently published. Not day passes but from one to a dozen letters of inquiry come to hand and many of the writers state that they are making pre- psrations to visit this valley with view to making their homes here. The efforts of THE ENTERPRISE in truthfully portray ing the advantages of soil and climate about Florence are bearing good fruit, and if they are properly aided and en- couraged by our citizens the ultimate re- suit will be beneficial to all our people and to the town and county.

WHILE we read the sorrowful tale of the blizzard's fearful work in the north western states, our doors are thrown wide open to admit the warm breezes that prevail in this land of many blessings, and we can hardly realize that such fatal inclemency can exist. Here the grass is green and still growing; the trees are budding; the farmers are busy at plant ing and spring time, with all it's con- genial influences, has come. What a strange contrast indeed.

 THE day Is not far away when the fortunate possessor of even ten acre tract in this valley will derive a hand some income from it's prolific productions. The wonderful capabilities of the soil which produces two or three crops per year, and the ready home market for every product of the farm are advantages that but few portions of the country pos sess and when, under the most ordinary treatment an acre will yield net return of from fifty to one hundred dollars per year, what will be the result when it is carefully and intelligently cultivated and the limit of its capacity secured? Lands in California not near so fertile and where lower prices prevail often yield crops that bring from three hundred to eight hundred dollars per acre. There is no reason why lands in this valley should not be made to return even better re- suits than this, and ten acres, we'll titled ought certainly to yield enough to satisfy any ordinary person.

Fig Growing.

The expense of growing and curing figs Is less than any other fruit known. The trees are subject to no diseases or insect pest, and once planted require no particular attention. The figs of the best varieties are being used in various diff ferent ways It will take %, 900 acres of fig orchards to supply alone the dried figs which are now yearly imported into the United States But besides the dried article, the crystalizing or icelng is be- coming an extensive industry, and fac tories in California have now demand for many times more than they can supply. Messrs. Bernard and Benedict of Los Angeles, have for years offered to pay $50 per ton for all fresh white figs ship ped to them, and they never get nearly enough for their wants. Canned and pickled figs are delicious article and command high price and ready sales in the eastern markets, and the juice and syrup of figs are now used extensively for medical purposes. The fresh fig, again, can with proper care-so called cold storage-be shipped to distant markets, and marmalades and condiments in var iety can be made of the fresh fruit at home. This, however, only applies to fine varieties, not to the poor ones, of which latter our old Mission fig is one. If we now add that a ng tree eight years old may bear ton of fruit, it will be seen that the cultivation of figs cannot but prove highly profitable. Exchange.

IT now looks as though that portion of the Gila valley adjacent to Florence is to enjoy the unmistakable impulses of a boom during the spring months, contrary to the experience of California where the fall and winter months bring the crowd. Strangers are now arriving and friends of those already located here have signifed their intentions of coming hither, and there is a certainty that our population will be considerably increased before midsummer. It follows with absolute certainty that every new settler will in fluence the coming of several others when they corroboFate the truth of the statements that have gone forth of the superior advantages this county possesses and in this legitimate augmentation we may expect to receive the best possible class of settlers. We are privately in- formed of the coming of fifteen or twenty families whose friends here have advised them to take such a step, and all of then possess the means to erect handsome homes and to turn the productive soil to fruitful utility. This is the class of peo- pie the country needs rather than a wild speculative s'boonan based upon excite ment and unreason. We have plenty of room for thousands of such families i'll our broad valley and they will be welcom- ed with open arms. Surely kindly providence is shaping the destiny of this lovely land of sunshine and happiness.
