A Woman's Discovery.

Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by lady in this county. Disease fastened it's clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed necessarily and could not sleep. She bought of us bottle of pr. Kings New Discovery for consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz" Thus write w. c. Hamrick & O., of Shelby, N. C.-Get a free trial bottle at Geo. Martins drug store.

Messrs. Fred Fleishman & Co give ten reasons why St. Patricks' Pills are the best
 l. Because they always produce a pleasant cathartic effect.
 ?. Because they correct bilious disor- ders and prevent all diseases arising from them.
 3. Because they are the most search ing and most reliable cathartic in use.
 4. Because they neither nauseate the stomach nor gripe the bowels, nor pro duce painful discharges.
 G. Because they cleanse the system, purify the blood and regulate the liver and bowels.
 6. Because they stimulate the liver to healthy action and aid in removing all morbid matter from the system.
 '. Because they are positive cure for constipation and prevent all disorders arising from it.
 s. Because they tone up the digestive organs and aid in the digestion and as- similation of food.
 9. Because they do not produce piles.
 10. Because they are certain in their actions and can always be depended upon.

ON THE ROUNDS.
Newspaper Items Exceedingly Scarce In Tucson. Business in Good Con- dition, but Carried on Quietly.

0t1on, put Oarr1ed on Qu1etly.
 It gets mighty lonesome in Tucson sometimes hunting news for wide awake daily like the CITIZEN. There are few hungry dogs around the streets most all the time, but they are too lazy to fight and tomcat can make faces at them with impunity. Occasionally strange dog chases feline across the street and up the side of an adobe fence, furnishing amusement for the mai boys, but excitement, such as reporter yearns for, there is absolutely none. Of the items that usually go to fill up the local columns of a daily newspaper there seems to be wonderful dearth. While this state of quietude is discouraging to the scribe, still it is not bad sign. It is a good indication and argues we'll for Tucson. It means that business is being carried on quietly without any buster and that the tongue of the scandal mon- ger is receiving a needed rest. No fall ures are to be recorded and there are no signs of any. The merchants are doing a good business, both retail and whole sale, but there is no fuss made over it. II A0u bbCp lhGO d OuoihCoo sOu will find the men there all busy either at the desk or the counter carrying on busi- ness in quiet way, not calculated to elicit comment. The bountiful rains of the past season have put the ranches in fine condition and enormous crops will be raised, but the ranchers are so busy preparing for the harvest that they have no time to loaf on the streets of Tucson swapping iacknives and yarns:
 The court officials are unemployed and crime is already a thing of the past. Handcuffs are rusting in the sheriff's of flee and the prisoners arg growing scarce in the jail. The Police judge spends most of his time building him new home on Alemada street, and tramps are so scarce that sufficient number can not be secured to irrigate court plaza. This is a bad condition for the officials, but it speaks we'll for this county and city.
 Mechanics have their hands full with the numerous works that are being carried on :.all over the town, in the way of building, repairing and improve ing, professional men seem to be busy and everybody is happy save the unfor- tunate searcher after items. He alone is "in the soup." Then people wonder why there is nothing in the paper. Everybody is satisfied and no one seems to know anything about anybody else'S business but his own, and if he did the chances are he would not tell it.
 Truly Tucson is paradise on earth | where everybody is at peace with them and everybody else. Nobody has any kick.
