WILLOW DALE.

Most of our farmers are done sowing
wheat. Nathan Nelson has moved
back to his old homestead, and we are
glad to see his bright face again, his
neighbors gathered and gave him a
serepade; he says a fellow never gets too
old to learn. Two young men are
missing today; wonder if they eve will
return. Any information desired from
Iowa, address Miss B D. Mr..
Droke, one of our charming men, is at
tending school at Washington College
this winter. j. K. Beals will soon
erect a dwelling house on his new
farm. Abraham Garst is on the mend
hope he will soon be able to start his
factory. A stray buzzard was seen
passing through this valley last Sunday

For Our Farmers to Read.

ut is estimated that the value of the
marketable apple crop of Augusta this
season will be $4,000, Rockbridge
$50, 900 and Albemarle 800, 900 vir-
ginia apples are in great demand this
year." The above statement should be
of great Importance to the farmers of
our county. Neither of the counties
mentioned have the advantage of
Washington County in point of soil or
elevation. We have evidence this year
of the adaptability of u county to the
production of fine apples in the fact
that some sections have produced as
nice fruit as one need care to see. Tbs
present year has furnished a good lesson
to any who may contemplate plant
ing orchards, and if the lesson is heed
ed will result in great profit to our
farmers, viz: Plant all trees on the
highest ridges you have on your farm.
But this is not all you must do-you
must use Judgment in the selection of
the;trees, both as to variety and quality,
and put them out as though you in
tended them to grow; and you must
not turn the cattle, mules and hogs in
to the young orchard, nor allow it to
grow up in briars and bushes. This
county is one of the best fruit regions
in all the South, and, but awaits the
proper development to show returns
equal to any in Virginia. There has
been a large number of trees sold in
our county within the last year, and it
is hoped that within a few years the
farmers will begin to realize from the
investment. Our townsman w. F.
Young, has put our several hundred
trees, mostly apple, on his place just
out of town, and we understand they
are doing we'll. Our advice is: Plant
more apple trees and raise less persim-
mons and sassafras, and you will have
more dollars.

Luther Benson, a temperance lecturer
of no little note, gave two of his very
interesting lectures in the First Pres
byterian Church Sunday and Monday
nights, both lectures were well patron
lied, and the people of Jonesboro have
never had the pleasure of listening to
such IN able advocate of the cause of
temperance. He has wonderful power
in picturing the evils of intemperance.

Billy Whelan arrived from the west on Tuesday morning with Ed L. Drew. On reaching the hotel he put his hand in his pocket and dis covered that an envelope with val uable contents were missing. He was certain he had it when he left the train, and lost no time in re- tracing his steps to the depot where the envelope was found-empty. There was no one around at that early hour except one of the Mexi- can section men, and he stoutly denied knowing anything about it. The envelope contained $500 in cur rency, which Mir. Whelan or any other man can lily afford to lose these times.-Stockman.

MT. NJ. F. Lichliter, last Friday, brought in three chunks of ore from his Duro mine, formerly the Contest which were thlckly studded with small gold nuggets. They are among the handsomest we have ever seen and Milt says they will discount s2OOO ton a long way. This Contest is right at our doors and is not the only mine by hun dreds right here. What Milt has done, others can do. The gold did not come to Lichliter, so Lichliter went for the gold, and got It, rich as he deserves. Get out and rustic boys, there are lots of Contest mines around Nogales; whereas, if you hang around town, your only Con test will be for bread and Kansas butter.-Advertiser.

THAT supply and demand is a large factor in regulating the price of all products, and not even the dressed beef syndicates can control the markets when there is an in- equality on either side, is shown by the position of hogs at the present time says the Stock Grower. The present high prices are caused, it is now known, by determined scarci- ty in supply. But that the members of the dressed beef syndicate do try and regulate prices, and can do so when conditions are normal, is shown by the statement made by P. D. Armour some time since to a prominent handler who, anticipa- ting the shortage, asked Armour to go in with him on big deal to cor ner hogs. Armour told e shrewl trader that there was DO shortage, but should there prove to be one the market price would not advance, as he would not let hogs go over five cents.

CONCERNING the cattle interests in Southwestern New Mexico, the Silver City Enterprise says: There is something of a demand for cat tie during the past few weeks, al- though the prices offered so far are considered pretty low. Texas is out of cattle, and many of the old growers of that section are in the market for stock cattle. It seems strange that Texas should come to this country for cattle. Cattlemen who are fixed 10 hold their cattle are pretty sure to make good money during the next two years. Those who cannot hold them will fii.d but little trouble in disposing of them during the next two months.

Fletcher Fairchilds returned from the Grand Canyon last night, and brings very fattering report of the mining prospects of that sec ton. He and James Pitts have contracted with Messrs Ashurst & Marshall to deliver 10 tons of the ore from their mine to this place for shipment. Mir. Fairchild will start back Tuesday to arrange for getting the ore out on the rim pre- paratory to hauling it here. Some time will be consumed in getting the ore ready for shipment, but the work will be pushed as rapidly as possibly. He says there are twenty five or thirty men in the Canyon prospecting and that some good ore Is found in other mines near Ashurst & Marshalls mines. P D

THE following bill has been in- troduced in the legislature by as- semblyman Behan-An Act to reg ulate the keeping the offices of the Probate Judge and other purposes
 Be it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Ari- zona:
 Sec. 1. That hereafter, the offices of Probate Judges and ex-officio county school superintendents of the several counties of the territory shall be kept open from the hours 9 o'clock a. m. until ) o'clock p. m. each day of the year except holi- days.
 Sec. 2. That every such officer who fails to so keep open his said office, shall forfeit to his said coun ty for the use of the school fund of the same, the sum of $25 for each day he so fails to keep his said of flee open, to be recovered by action of Board of Supervisors.
 Sec. 8. That all laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are repeal ed, and that this Act taNe effect and be in force from and after its pas sage.
 This law is entirely too lenient. It is a well-known fact that the po- sition of Probate Judge, in second class counties at least, is so lucra- tive that after two years incum- bency one is able to retire for life on the debts he has contracted for actual necessaries of life. In view of this fact. we would suggest that the above law be so amended, be- fore it's final passage, as to compel the Probate Judge to i'll in his lei sure hours on some other public work. He might be made janitor to clean the public school buildings of the district in which he resides, chop wood and do other chores.

Last Monday Gus May was in town and during the afternoon he settled his bill at the Bank hotel where he had baen stopping, and it was supposed that he had left town. Nothing more was thought of the matter until Wednesday morning when the door to the room he had occupied was found locked. The door was -bursted in by the landlord and others, and May was in bed dead. It was supposed from the indications that he had been dead several hours. He was said to have been a sufferer from consumption and came here several years ago from North Carolina for the benefit of his health. The funeral took place at 3 o'clock Thursday after noon from the residence of E. NJ. Doe. The remains was followed to the cemetery south of town by a large procession. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him, as he was of a kind disposition nd had many friends.-Flagstaff Dem ocrat.

One of the severest storms of the

One of the severest storms of the
 winter visited Globe this week. It commenced during Monday night
 with cold west wind which pre-
 vailed throughout Tuesday. On
 Wednesday the wind veered to the east, the sky became overcast, and late in the afternoon rain and snow began to fall. Snow fell almost continuously during the night and Thursday morning the earth and every exposed object was shrouded in white. The snowfall in Globe is estimated at from four to tive inches. On Pinal mountains it was much heavier and on the summit measured two and a half to three feet. To the north and west the storm was less severe. At J. F. Gerald's ranch there was a light rainfall, and at Wheat6elds only enough to lay the dust.
 It was two years ago this week that the flood did such great de struction to life and property. The storm commenced on Monday Feb. 16th. and early on the morning of the 18th the houses along the east bank of Pima! creek commenced to topple into the flood. Late in the of the 18th Wm. Middle ton was drowned, and his body re- covered the following day. A sec ond storm on the 22nd and 23d, completed the work of destruction. Belt.
