4 Breezy Letter from Walnut Grove

WALNUT GROVE, Jan. 18th, lS9I.- Special correspondence l-Noi having seen anything from this part ot the country in eithor of the papers, and not wanting 10 be "last in the shufile,"
 merely because our usual fan killing
 has not occurred yet, thought l
 would send you few notes and let
 you know that there are some of ns
 alive yet, We are thinking some of
 following the example of Chicago and
 St. Louis. That is, in gathering in sll of the neighboring villages in one cor
 porstion or city. Now. by taking the
 villages of Wsgoner. Cooloville and Car tersburg and snueIing them to
 Condon Villa, Wade Hall and the Par
 sonsge, and chucking them all in with
 Walnut Grove, eff we can find the grove), We will have quite large city in area at least.
 Chief Justice Cornelius Davis, whose maiden name was Jeff, has got his Justice Shop in full blast, and desires to inform his old friends, Hasayam- pers and others tha. he is ready for business at the Parsonage, just above high-water mark from the dam and that in order to encourage matrimony and help out the next census as much as possible, he will tie the knot just ss tight as an Arizona knot can be tied, free of charge. except just one kiss from the bride, for the first , months of his official career. And in order io start the ball rolling and further en- courage the good work, he offers handsome premium to the first couple that he operates on, consisting of an elegant chromo and fine, large pumpkin, one of his own raising.
 P.S. N. E. The Judge wants 1t distinctly understood thst any gentle. man taking advantage of the above liberal offer is expected to furnish his own bride, as the Judge has had diff. cuity enough in the past -tl years in the vain attempt to rustlea bride for him. self. But hridegrooms w'a be farnish- ed in aay number on short notice. No divorces granted.
 want to say few words ahont our mail facilities down here. We have l what is known ss 6 seps weekly route. l It is weakly enough, We are not kick ing about that. Ia fact, it isso weakly | that sometimes il doa't get here for . week. The msii, mean the "route" gets here all right, after skirmishins | around 50 or 60 miles from Pres ,ott out | in the southwestern part of the county. l The mail finally gets here, 2S miles south of Prescott, after the Prescott | papers are a week old and We have heard all the news from psssers by. IL s an outrage that district like Wd- nut Grove, that has put as much money ia circulation as any district in the mean through the build. ing of the Wslnut Grove dam--shoul d be so devoid of mail facilities. We should by all means have direct route south of Prescott via Copper where they will soon have to Walnut Grove, thence to Greek smelter. where there are 'rom C to 7s men working, and no posloffioe or mail facilities at all, on to Castle Greek hot springs, which is one of the finest resorts in the South. west, and always thronged with visit DTS and invalids, and in the same fix as he shelter in regard to mail facilities, ,n to Frog Tanks, or Pratt. as the postoftice there is eallsd, where they asye route on to Phenix.
 WANDERING JEW.
