Water in Sonora Is Scarce at Three

The Papazo Indians inhabit a country of
broad plains, with mountain ranges be-

rugged and rise SHARPLY from the lowiin,is.
All over the plains live the Indians. The
country is one OF the most arid r, gioI,s

AN ENJOYABLE CONCEPT.

The invitation concert ana hop given at the Town hall on last week Friday evening is deserving of more than pass ing mention, because it was the best en- tertainment given ID the hall, this sea. son, and was enjoyed by good sized au- dience Of Newtown's best people and the summer guests in town. The hall was very attractive in it's dress of red, white md blue and on the platform was an ar- tistic grouping of wild flowers. The con- cert part of the evenings entertainment was the work of artists. Miss Farce was very taking in her recitations and songs and the audience was YociferOus in do- iog her honor, recalling her in every appearance, The comedy, "A happy pair" the parts being taken by Miss Farce and MT Flansburgh, was a very clever piece of acting and MT Flansburgh only increased his popularity with New town people by his well chosen and ex- cellently rendered selections on the pro- gram, and encores were bestowed upon him generously. Mir Heindl was heard at his best on the violin and was called on for more than one appearance. Though not on the printed program, Mir White of Brooklyn appeared in a baritone solo and captured the audience. Should these artists ever appear in Newtown again and invitations be sent out gener- ously, the hall would hardly contain the audience who would wish to hear them, for it is certain that all who were fortu- nate enough, last Friday night, would not be absent and they would urge their friends to net miss such an evenings en- | Iioyment. Following the concert program an informal dance of 10 numbers was en- ioyed, Mr Heindl furnishing piano music
 for dancing. Dr and Mrs Edwards NJ.
 Smith led the grand march, followed by the patronesses and their escorts and
 about 30 couple. Dancing was enjoyed
 till about F o'clock, when the party
 broke up to go out and help iDauguraCe 1 the Fourth of July.
