FEW THOUGHTS.

AL Auc AncCNAhS OA NAp NNNAN SN Trade yesterday to consider the receiving of General McCook, but one member showed up.
 
 The streets of this city need pair ing down, and should not be utilized as dumping ground for everything. The bull pen fence around the plaza should be torn down and and burned up, and the desert on the inside of it made to grow some thing or else cut up into town lots.
 +.*
 There are a dozen excursions en route to Phenix, via Prescott, and not a hint is ever heard to have the people of them stop over and see this city.
 If Whipple is good enough to have maintained, it is good enough also to recognize the men who "stay with" us everlaStingly on this propo- sitIon. Vide McCook, citizens of Prescott.
 *.*
 One hundred and fifty people are going to Phenix next Monday. This is rubbing it in.
 +.*
 Has anybody thought of a jubilee for Prescotti If so, they had better show up.
 Prescott should pull together and the ethereal climate we enjoy should be boomed. Outsiders would enjoy it, if only they were made aware of such.
 
 What is the matter with display ing the mineral exhibit of Yavapai, and adding to it, also, for the bene- fit of sight seers as they pass on to Phenix. The exhibit Is stored in some barn in back alley.

 The "erack" recently made that Prescott is only a whistling post for Phenix, is commencing to take shape, judging from the number of excursions that are to whistle past us without stopping. They should be compelled to stop over and our people should move.
 
 The city needs electric lights, and new and better walks. Prescott of old is played out, and too many people are coming in nowadays. Hold them to this section, but to do SO, the streets must be made pass able in the day time and secure at night.
 We growl at Phenix for "hOgging everything, but she gets there just the same, because her world do move.
 
 The supreme court, the legisla- ture, the irrigation congress, the press association, the whole universe, and God knows what not, IS on hand in the capital city, because no other section wants it, or trys for 1t
 
 The Board of Trade should be reorganized, and in doing so "rustle" should be its motto.

 If necessary, shot guns should be leveled on every excursion train that passes through Prescott, to hiring them to a halt for a few days.
 +.+
 We do not believe in train wreck ing, but such should be resorted to, to stop long excursion trains as they pass Ion and forever" through Prescott.
 It is 6 good thing that the pines are around Prescott, and it is sur prising that Phenix has not gobblei them up also.

 There is one way only to accom- plish anything to push community ahead. The simply word of unity covers 1t.
 
 A Southern Arizonan is about to invade Prescott with his tomahawk of industry and thrift, telephone and telegraph wire. Whats the matter with Prescott.
 
 The county came to the relief of the city with prison help for the streets.
 A big building should be secured to exhibit our mineral wealth, and tho place made a decent looking center for all to mingle in. But no old time principles should be per mitted to prevail in running it. The merchants are the ones to bring this to focus.
 +.s
 The North and South road is get ting in its work, and its effect on Prescott is common talk. Competi- tion should begin at this end, and don't you forget it.
 
 Fix up the driving park. It helps.
