ARIzoLA, July II, 1895.
 A most enjoyable entertainment was given on the evening of the 4th of July at Arizola, on the Southern Pacific rail- road by the Temperance lodge of Casa Grande and Arizola. The beautiful lit tie park was brilliantly lighted with lan- terms and an excellent and roomy plat form had been erected. Speeches were made during the evening by J. D. Young, who delivered an appropriate Reclamation upon the nations natal day.
 Arthur H. Elliott in his speech said:
 "A great man has said, let no man write my epItaph until Ireland is free.' In the United States we claimed man whose epitaph was written a soldier, statesman and patriot whose name and memory was engrafted and enshrined n the hearts of every patriotic citizen, and his name was George Washington"
 The speaker claimed that We had to contend against the same foe today that our fcrefathers faced in early days, namely, the British.
 He called attention to our iorefathers' advice, ito avoid all foreign entangle. ments," and asked If the projected mon- stary conference would not involve us ID some such entanglements.
 During the evening most excellent music was rendered both instrumental and vocal under the leadership of Mrs. Bertha TomlIrsou.
 Father George Washington and Moth. ST Martha Washington were most ad- hlrably portrayed in miniature by Mas ter Herman Redman and little Tomasita Fomliuson respectively. The miniature general was arrayed ID continental cos tune aod with keen sword strapped to hIs side looked every inch like great soldier, and with courageous look oeamiDg on his face, seemed to express a challenge to Great Britain to tread upon any portion of bis coat, whilst the little lady cOyly expressed, "Ah, the general likes me because he kissed my little hands,"
 The audience were entertained from time to tune 5y music and fireworks, whilst ice cold lemonade and ice cream and cake were served free to the entire sssemblage.
 The occasion was one of the most en- joyable ever experienced in this county and reflected great credit upon the ladies and gentlemen of the Temper ance Legion who worked so faithfully to psrpetuate the day that has given to the world the greatest republic on tue face of the earth.
 The night was one of the most pleas ant of the summer season so far, the moon shining brightly and a cool breeze blowing.
 The following are the names of those who materially added in making the en- success: Miss Hilda Lar zen, superintendent of the ice cream de- partment; Mrs. Argsll, lemonade booth; Miss Anna Reid, program and master Slausson, department of decorations: Miss Gertrude English, charge of cake tables.
 Aides of refreshmert tables, Miss Leila and Miss Carrie Jsgerman, Miss Ida Moore, Misses Fsnnle and Bertha Crane.
 Miss Moore, daughter of our repre-. sentative to the last territorial legisla- ture, appeared as a most charming God 1ess of Liberty. The pleasure of the evening was greatly added to by the musical program under the leadership 1f Mrs. Bertha Tomlinson, lady of re- high talent, both as a musician and vocalist. A lack of time and space 'orbids the mention of some of the pa- triotic young men who ably assisted in this most successful celebration.
