An unique gathering has been held in
Louisville, KY, of the famous Withers
family of Meade County, all the mem
bers of which are-oEer six feet six inches
in height, and whose average weights are
191 pounds. There are six brothers, all
of whom, but one, are well-to-do farm
ers in Meade County. The object of the
reunion was to welcome w. w. Withers,
a brother, who has been absent in Texas
for the past ten years. They were pres
ont when the train came in, and the six,
when standing together, attracted a
large crowd, which viewed them as a
importation of Kentucky giants. One of
the characteristics of this family is their
great affection tor each other. They are
proud of their unusual statures, but never
boast of their strength. Their mother,
Mrs. Mary Withers, is still living, and is
eighty-nine years Of age.

CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Ping, merry bells, ring,
In the light of the Christmas morn;
Sing, happy hearts, sing,
For your Saviour the Lord, is born.
Follow the star
To the manger far,
And look on your swaddled King.
Give, worshipers, give,
With the wise from the Eastern plains;
Let the suffering children receive
From the boards of your golden gains.
Then shall ye see
The sweet mystery,
That the Christchild lives and reipns.

To a reporter who asked him if he was satisfied with the su gar-beet experi ments, Secretary os Agriculture Rusk Is quoted as replying: There is no manner Of doubt ncw that the beet sugar industry is beyond the experi- mental stage. The Nebraska factory when l lei, vas producing 1aA per cent of sugar. or about thirty tons day. Our experiments, made for the pur- pose of finding out the best section for this industry, have proven that the beet needs a rather cold climate. u cannot be grown successfully in . eli. mate that produes the sugar cane, but in colder climates 1t does well. wis- consin Is one of the best states for sue cessful prosecution of the industry. even better than Nebrsska, think. To get the best results, however, care has to be taken in growing the beet. By careful selection of seeds the. saccha- nne matter can be increased greatly. In France and Germsay they hicaght it up from to l5 per cent. Our ex- periments have been undersakea with their seed. It will be great in dustry in time.s

Last Nights Mass Meeting.

The call for mass meeting published in the last issue of the JouRSAL-MISEg had the effect of hliing the courthouse lpst night with the business men and citizens of Prescott generally. Ex- Governor Tritle was unanimously chosen as chairmaS of the meeting and Samuel Hill secretary.
 Governor Trille stated that the ob- ]eet of the meeting was to confer with Mir. Bullock in regard to the costruc- ton of the railroad from Prescott to Phenix. and on his suggestion no. tion was made and carried, that com mi;tee os five be appointed to wait on MT. Bullock and escort him to the meeting, for the purpose of expressing his views. The committee consisted of Robert Connell, w. O. Bashtord, W. A. Freeze, D. Levy and G. W. Bang hart. The committee retired, and in short time returned with MT. Bullock, who was introduced tc the audience by the chairman, and in few words stated what be proposed to do, being in sub stance the same views as expressed in the JousNAL-MINER's intervi CIV with him published on Friday. He reite- rated his willingness to transfer his interest in the subsidy to Diamond Jo Reynolds or any one else who would bnlld the road, and agreed to transport all material required for the construc- ton of the road over the Prescott and Arizona Central railroad at the actual COS. of transportation. In reply to q question as to how soon he proposed to commence the construction of the road if a law exempting 1t from taxation was passed, he replied that he would commence at once, but that he would not attempt to build over the route dpsignated in the subsidy bill.
 r. NJ. Murphy addressed the meet ing a, considerable length in regard to the proposition in general, and in ref erence to Mir. Reynolds proposition in particular.
 On the motion of AGeneral W. o. o'Neill, a committee of three was ap- pointed to confer with Mir. Bullock and MT. Reynolds in reference to the propo- sition ot the former to transfer the sub sidy to any one who will huild the road, aud ascertein if any agreement could be effected which would insure the construction ot the road. The chair amounted General O'Neill. E. Nj. Mur- pby and T. W Otis as said committee.
 Governor Tritle then addressed the meeting, expressing very strongly his preference for the road being built di- rectly south from Prescott, instead of by either of the routes proposed.
 A resolution was introduced by Governor Tritle, providing for the ap- pointment of a committee to investi- gate the question as to the validity of an assignment by MT. Bullock of the subsidy, F. NJ. Murphy. who had been called to the chair, appointing on this committee, Governor Tritle, W. 0. O'Neill and W. c Bashferd.
 NO. o'Neill introduced resolu- ton favoring exemption from taxation of All roads built within the next two wears which elieitsd considerable dis cussion, and was voted down,
 All committees appointed were re- auested to report at meeting to be held in the future.
