The Tucson Citizen says there are
merchants in that city who howl loud
and long if any one dares send east for
goods because they are cheaper than at
home; but they will themselves order
their letter-heads and bill-heads where
they can save a dollar, and even use a
rubber stamp to avoid patronizing the
printers. The Socorro Chieftain adds
that Tucson is not the only town where
such men live. We have few, only a
few, of the same kind in Deming, and,
thank the Lord, they say business is
very dull and they viii have to pull out
unless there is an improvement. We can
spare them.-Headlight. St. Johns is
cursed with several just such enter
prising gentlemen.

Champion Short Hand Writer.

Mr.. A. s. White, the we'll known author
of Whites Photography" famous as
the Champion Shorthand Writer of tbs
World, received the first prizes in the in
ternational contests at London, Edinburgh,
Paris and Berlin; he came near being per-
manently disabled by rheumatism. His
recovery by the use of remedy infallible
in curing rheumatism and all blood diseases
is told in letter from his Office, OF Wash
ington ST., Chicago, dated June 20, 1887.
He writes:
"Your remedy has done wonderful SER
vice for me. For the past five years I
have been troubled with rheumatic pains.
"Aly right hand had become almost use
less and l was gradually losing speed as a
shorthand writer. A friend of mine, DIR.
Dederich, advised me Of your remedy. I
used dozen bottles of S. S. and am now
entirely recovered. I shall never cease to
commend your excellent medicines, and
wish you much success.
"Yours truly, A. S. WHITE"

Joseph Hollister had quite an addition
TO his family during the past week. His
mare dropped fine colt by the thor
oughbred horse belonging to Messrs.
Huning & Cooley; his cat had numer-
Gus progeny of little cats, and his old
hen came off, after twenty-one days
faithful attention to business, with four
teen little chicks. Mr.. Hollister finds
the attention required by this numerous
family consumes about all his leisure
moments. We wish him much JOY and
comfort in looking after them.

Some may think it fun to write up a
local column or two every week, in a
town like st. Johns, where every one
has gone, or is going, who has the "need-
ful'' to pay their expenses, but if they
were compelled to do SO, week in and
week out, for period of one year, they
would find the task decidedly irksome
and would soon be heard to exclaim
with much fervor, ooh, for lodge in

GREAT ADVANTAGES.


A decided advantage Marion coun-
ty has over many Others is the di-
versifled farming interest that can
he carried ON throught the entire
wear: Notwithstanding this is wet
rllmnte during the winter months,
the uplands are seldom too wet tC
work, and long before the prairie
farmers are through with their seed
ing, the hill farmer is preparing tor
Mis- summer work. And yet the
low lands are much preferred 10y
many; the yield per acre il generally
greater, and perhaps less labor is IT
quired to place the soil IN proper
condition for crops; and then should
the season prove dry, the bottom
lands arc sure To bring the best
crops. No better farming land can
be found In the United States than
that ON the noted Howell prairie,
French prairie, SRntinm prairie and
salem prairie. The soil of these are
wonderfully productive. With good
cultivation, forty bushels of wheat
and sixty Of oats per acre can be
readily secured.

There are two main divisions, the

some fourteen townships of mostly
unsurveyed land; lying in Il stril
