 noon to pay us another short visit.
 A. H. Emanuel ot Tombstone was also noticed among the incoming psssen- gers.
 MT. A. w. Smith ana wife of Tombstone also came over for 'ho't | stay.
 Quite a number of Rebeccahs came in on the train today from both To nb' stone and Tucson. A lodge is to he started here tonight and quite nm : Der is expected to join.
 Mir. E. c. Norton and family re- turned from a two months visit to Santa Monica and Southern California this evening. They are looking we'll and all enjoyed their trip.
 The balance of the Bisbee jurors re. turned from Tucson today. They were detained there @ longer than they wanted to remain but had the pleas- ure of seeing the circus in the mean time. They all had e good time but think it came rather high.
 James Muuch returned from Tucson today accompanied by his father. MT. Mupeh has been away from home several years now and WAS on his way back when he wac pleasantly surprised by meeting Jimmy in Tucson. They waited and came home together.
 Quite little bustle and stir is man. ifeeted in the cattle business in this vicinity ct present. The members of the outfit Of NJ. NJ. sherman, some 25 or 30 Ill number. were in town for some time yesterday making necessary purchases and returned to camp last evening. Mir. sherman expected to pass 1000 head of cattle through the custom house today, and we under stand that that several other large shipments are also ID waiting. Lut- low expects to psss about oOO head Of yesrlings iu day or 60, and the Tur- key Track and H. c. people will have ] 800 steers ready for shipment in a few dave. The round up is coming this way now and others will probably follow.
 Several friends Of F. Nelson our late tailor have spoken to us concerning certain sta,emen,s which have been made about that gentleman in the last few dave. It seems that some one has been circulating a rumor about town that Mir. Nelson left a number of uHp paid bills behind him and referr- ing to him ss beat. The party or parties who are responsible for these statements are either lsboring under e great mistake or else are guilty of msliciously slandering his good name. Mr. Nelson did leave e number of unpaid bills behind hin but he also left money with which to settle the same, and all such bills will be prompt ly paid on presentation to Mfr. Warbur. ton, his successor. MT. Wsrburton was also authorizsd by him to collec. all of his outstanding bills and same should be paid at the shop in the usual manner. Friends, you have surely made a mistake iu this ID alter.
 Our democratic friends have been joshed quite heartily by the republi- cans for the last two days in regard to several incidents Of their ratification meeting last night. There were only ssyen of the gentlemen present on the library porch that evening and it wss remarked by several that the other half of them must be on shift. An other party remarked that their sslutes consisted Of one gun for each demo. crat in town. This would indicate that.there were about dozen of the gentleman here, which cheeks out fairly close with the previous calsula- tiod MT. Stiles, among many others came in for his share of the fun. His success in securing band for the occasion and later in playing therein has been the source of much adverse criticism and he has about come to the conclusion that he will never dc # again. Life is also being made wear. isome to c number of the weishti. gentlemen of the party. They arr met st every turn by Q laughing fs { and an eIclsn stion Of "For Gods -ak, don't stab Mark in the back"i hi, | expression of Mr. Cox's seems tp have tickled our republicans immen srly and they can: get it out of their minds 1 hey don't think he's in any danger that way, though.
