 Saturday night fire was discovered in A. l.. Johnson's store, at Hope. Goods all very badly damaged. Hope has more fires than any town in the state, and it is a wonder the insurance companies don't refuse to do business there.
 We ask our friends and subscrib. CTS at the post office at Prescott, to call at this office and get one of our calendars for 1891. Postage on those sent out cost several dollars, and so we ask patrons at home here to call and get calendar, which will save the expense of postage.

 Mir. Perry Hayes brings us let ter received by Mir. Stewart Cum mings from his brother, F. NJ. Cum mings of Hoquiam, Washington, which we publish in this issue by request.
