We take pleasure in calling the
attention Of our readers to the su-
perior merits of the German Medi-
Gated Stock Food which has come
to be recognized among leading
stockmen as the standard remedy
for diseases of all domestic animals.
ID many sections Of the country it
has long been handled by retail
dealers rs an article staple as -four.
Stock raisers who haver used it re-
gard it as indispensable to the rap
id development and general health
of their horses, cattle, swine and
sheep. The following extract from
the Commercial Bulletin, the lead.
ing trade journal of Minneapolis, is
but one Of hundreds of similar EN-
phatic endorsements by influential
agricultural and commercial jour-
mails:
German Medicated Stock Food.
Our readers should note careful
ly the advertisement of The Ger
man Medicine Co. in this issue, for
the food they manufacture las come
to be standard article of commerce
in quite an extended western and
southwestern territory. Though it
is only about three years since its
first introduction and sale, the de-
mand has increased to very large
extent through Minnesota, Dakota,
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Wiscon-
sin, Illinois and adjoining borders. |
The company have been compelled
% increase their force and extend
their facilities in every way to meet
the unprecedented demand, and
their facilities are now taxed to the |
utmost to meet the orders pouring
in. They recently made one ship
ment of 10000 boxes to st. Louis,
and their sales this year will be
many times those of 1887. The
BEST and most reliable jobbers in all
he large commercial centers of the
named are distributing the
God rapidly out to their trade,
where it's merits speedily become
,nown. and retail dealers will find
or it quick sale in all agricultural
districts"
This valuable stock food can be
procured by farmers and stock rails

The bridge over the slough south
Of town has been completed by Jas.
Lilly, the contractor, and she is a
dandy and no mistake. Those who
have seen it say it is put in to stay
and reflects much credit on Mr.. Lii
ly as bridge builder. The ap.
proaches are also completed and the
people south of this city now have a
short cut into town which is a great
accommodation.

Elk Point, Oak, Oct. 80, 1888.

Old Grimes is not dead yet. Those
of our citizens who heard his tenn
perance lecture in the U. B. church
last Sunday evening were highly
entertained and pleased. Mr.. j. S.
Grimes, the lecturer, is nearly 50
years old and by profession is a
phrenologist and lecturer upon sci
entific subjects, but for the past fif-
ty years he has made it a practice
to deliver temperance lecture on
Sunday evening, and we think he
gives the best lecture upon the SUBJ
ject of any we have ever heard.

The county seat celebrated May Day in good oldfashioned style A picnic was held at a grove on the Gila, very near the whole town being in attendance. We had a May Queen and King, and games appropriate to the occasion were indulged in, spiced with a palat- able lunch. With song and dance day of gladness and thorough enjoyment was had beneath the cloudless blue of Arizona's sunny skies. A dance at the court house, with one of Mrs. Neese's famous suppers, completed day which was unmarked by an accident CT a disagreeable incident.
 Mrs. Eliza Rowley and daugh- ter, sister of Mrs, Neese, have ar rived from Washington territory and will take up their permanent residence with us.
 The foundation of a new build ing has been laid, which, it is said, is intended for a mercantile house, making the fourth here. It would seem that the conditions of things in this valley are such that the county has improved ahead of the towns, and now the latter are just responding to the imperative de- mands of the former.
 Treasurer Pomeroy has left for Fl Paso and Probate Judge Fitz- gerald and District Attorney Bo- Ian have gone to Phenix in at tendance upon the Democratic convention.
 Supervisor Weech is in town. It IS understood that he has secured the government hay and wood contract at Fort Thomas. He will without doubt fulfill his obligations to the very letter.
 NJ. E. Cunningham has re- turned from TucSon entirely ra- covered from the late serious sprain to his arm, and is busy buy ing furniture, carpets, etc, not usually considered necessary to a bachelors existence; at which our friend Ed Sulby looks on, and with a knowing air says, II think 1 shall very soon do ''lomismo."

san Carlos Notes.

Capt. Pierce expects to leave here about the 25th of May.
 Mir. Smith. chief clerk of the Interior Department at San Car los, has been appointed Indian agent at the Osage agency, Indian Territory He is highly deserv- ing of this promotion and his many friends wish him ever sue cess in his new position.
 The Indian census has been completed for this quarter, and a total of S70 families with an aver age of 1, is the result. A marked improvement is noticed, as better crops and a general air of con tentment is especially noticed among them all The party talk ing the census found the Indians everywhere hard at work repairing dams, cleaning out ditches and flooding the grain fields.
 Yesterday, Sunday, Capt. F. B Pierce was the recipient of very handsome testimonial of farewell from the employees of the Interior Department. The gift was beautiful French travelling clock, eight-day movement, with cathe- dral chimes, striking the hours and quarters, with alarm attach ment. Dr. Gale of the agency delivered the presentation address, which was heartily responded to by Capt. Pierce. His many friends all join in wishing him God speed and all manner of good luck in his new life after leaving here. That his genial face and kind voice will be missed there is no doubt, and it will be long before his friends can accustom them selves to his absence, as he has endeared himself to many; and in unity we say, God bless him wherever he goes.
 The weather here is delightful, not too warm as yet, and the nights cool and pleasant. We would 9ention the flies, but there are too many of them.
 The Indian school is progress ing rapidly under the. able man agement of its teachers and bids far to be a success.
 We learn that Messrs. Johnston & Gillingham, the photographic artists, will stop at Bowie until the 10th of May, and on leaving there will proceed direct to the Pacific coast with the vIew of entering timber lands-and anticipating the lumber market. Their friends wish them well.
