The Postal Shoe Company, Boston,
Mass, was started on a small scale as
an experiment. It has now grown to
large proportions and advertises in
hundreds of papers. Shoes are sent
by mail, postage paid, to any p~ostofice
IN the country. Write a postal card
to the company asking for a catalogue.
This will tell you how to take your
own measure and get a pair of any
quality of shoes to fit you. This com.
pany is not in the Shoe Trust, has not
raised it's prices. Our people a save
a great deal of money by ordering
their winter shoes from this company.

lima when these farmers stand out IN
one grand phalanx, all of one mind
and all fighting for the same ends.
Think of this: The future welfare of
the laboring classes in North Carolina
depends more upon the Farmers Ali
ance than upon any political party in
the State. Is it not a fact2

Died:

On the 10Th instant, Mrs. Ellen
Pool, wife of J. T.. Pool, aged 81
years. Mrs. Pool leaves a husband
and five children, one, a babe only a
few hours old. No words that we
can say will lessen the troubled grief
that racks the heart Of one who ex-
periences the loss of a dear wife,
The best consolation is to know that
God does all things for the best, and
that it is only a short time until we
will all pass through the same gate
to death, and te together again
where grief and trouble are un-
known. God will not separate for
ever his obedient and loving
children. To the bereaved husband
we would say, 90 forward in the
discharge of your duty 10 your chill
dren, to your fellow man aud to God,
in the future as you have in the
past, and Eilen's spirit from Heaven
will be glad of what you do.
A FRIEND.

A Needed Throughfare

Mir. James Walters from Sarica mills in the Altar district of Sonora, a point about thirty miles distant from the line city. Yet to reach here MT. Wal ters was obliged to travel distance Of siXty-fve miles by his own convey ance, and sixty-tiye miles by railroad from Santa Ana. To make road direct from Nogales to Saric would re- qulre but small expenditure of money when the great benefits and advant- ages that would accrue to the line city are considered. From Saric to the Agua Colgada ranch, q distance of twelve miles, Mir Walters says the road can be put in excellent order for 500 in adObes, and he declares an in- tention of having the work done i'm mediately on his return. From No- gales to Agua Colgada ranch, a distance of about eighteen miles, there are roads part of the way. It is asserted by Lieutenant H. o. Flipper and other experts familiar with the country, that between Nogales to Agua Colgada an excellent road can be constructed over the parts not yet opened for s4, GOO in adobes.
 But the country beyond Saric and the trade thereof, which will be opened to Nogales by construction of this road, make the major consideration which should impel the people of No gales to reach out and build it. From Saric the country is opened all the way down the Altar river to the gulf, and there is tremendous population whose trade would come over the new road to Nogales. There are the towns of Saric, Tubutama, Datil, Oquitoa, Altar seat of government of the dis trict) Pitiquito and Caborca. Then there are number of very productive mines which would likewise be tribu- tary, including El Promontorio, owned by Mir. l.. Ephraim of Nogales, El Grupo, the property of Zepeda & Man ming, Fl Plomo. owned by MT. Willis c. Jackson of Chicago, El Sombreri- tillo, the property of the Castillo fam fly, and Planchas dc Plata, owned by New Orleans people and Pesqueiras. All these are in the northeast corner of the district of Altar. Beyond are the Cienega placers, the Tainto dis trict, the Santo Domingo, Sierra Pinta and many other mines which would be closest to railway connection at No gales were there a direct road.
 Not only is this country rich in mineral, but it's agricultural, horti- cultural and stock interests are heavy. Thousands of head of hogs are annual ly raised and shipped out of the valley of the Altar river. Numerous flour ing mills turn out great quantities of flour and bran. The people there au- nually consume great quantities of all kinds of merchandise which with direct road would all be purchased in Nogales. The roads to Tucson, Gila Bend and Santa Ana are all trayersed by numerous teams carrying on the traffic of that great region. By build ing the road to Agua Colgada Nogales would give that traffic route but half as long as those it now travels.
 When it is considered that in three months time the profits on the trade such a road would draw to Nogales would pay the cost of it's construction it's value as an investment is plainly apparent at once.
 The business men of Nogales should put their shoulders to the wheel and build the road to Agua Colgada. It would give the town great impetus.
