THE PUTNEY COLUMN.
The Annual congregational Concert.

The fourth annual concert by the Con-
gregational church was patronized by an
audience which exceeded in number all of
the preceding concerts. For four years
this concert has been the leading social
function in Putney, and the increased at
tendance each year bears evidence of its
growth in popular favor, and is an indica-
ton of what may ultimately be accom-
plished in the way of entertainments in
Putney. Friday evenings concert netted
about $50. IL was a marked success al
though disappointing as compared with
previous concerts. The artists were the
Amphion male quartet of Boston, of which
E. f. Gorham is leader, Miss Sara L..
Washburn, soprano, and G.. Herbert Hunt
ley, pianist, of Putney, and Miss Eva
Burge of Astead, n. H., ac.ompanst.
Criticism of Miss Washburn's work would
be unjust Miss Stewart of Brattleboro,
who was to have accompanied her, was
unavoidably detained, and she was accom-
panied by Miss Burge, who was wholly I'M
acquainted with the music. Miss Wash
burn has a pleasing voice which never fails
to give good satisfaction under favorable
conditions.
Mr.. Huntley's piano work was good for
one of his years, but there were some err
rors which might have been eliminated by
sufficient practice.
Considering the fact that the work OF
the quartet is limited largely to a few
weeks at this season of the year their sing
ing, especially as regards harmony, was
noticeably good. Their selections were
also good, which cannot be said of some OF
the individual songs. For instance, Mr.
Gorham showed extremely poor judg
mentl in selecting so trashy a song
as "There'll Never be One Like You, y
which is unworthy the attention of sc
noble voice as he possesses.
DR.. Stiless singing was not so well APP
preciated as his rectations, which were
given in the French Canadian tongue, anC
which gave a pleasant variation to the pro
gram. By far the most praiseworthy worl
of the evening was the solo singing by j
Churchill Hindes, second bass. Anything
short of unstinted praise of his voice anC
his singing would be entirely out of place
Mr.. Harlow's mellow voice was heard Il
good advantage, and the work of the &C
companist was all that could be desired.

The recommend .tion of the governor that the legislature provide for the cleo tiono of assessors for all counties IS good one. The office of assessor is really the most important one in the whole county government, as by the fidelity and caPac' ity of this officer the great bulk .of the finances for the running of the county government, is raised. On him the vari- ous officers of the county depend for their salaries, and in fact the whole machinery of the county government is kept oiled through the efforts of the county assessor. If a bill i. passed at the present session and made operative at once it should provide that the sherifis who have been elected exofficio assessors and have already given their bond for the performance ofthe service to continue to the end of the term for which they were elected. bu. allow them a deputy who shall receive the compensation fixed by the act.

Guadalupe Ends a Life Sen.
 teECe in Yuma.

Guadalupe, an Apache murderer, died of old age at the territorial prison on Monday. He was sent up from G.,a county on November s, 1890, for life. He was tried before Judge Kibby at Globe along with his two sons and anotEe' Indian, and all were convicted. One of the sons, Dandy Jim, was par doned couple of years ago.
 The crime for which Guadalupe e was convicted was the murder of Ei Baker in the Sierra Anclas early in 1890. There were no witnesses to the tragedy but the facts were brought out by circumstautisl evidence and later the Indians themselves confirmed the reliability of the evidence.

James Lamb has returned to Bisbee after ga absence of about Q month, aud is now looking for . asuitabls lot on which to build.
 The Erie Cattle company seem to be on the move of late looking after their interests, President McNair ar rived from Kansas . few days since and was mot here by Vics.President Whitney and General Manager Brown. The three gentlemen left for the ranch yesterday and will look things over together.
 Mr. A. Arnet formerly of Los An | geles, California, has opened boot and shoe shop on Main street, in the building occupied by our London tailor, where he will be pleased to meet all of our citizens who need theIr soles | repaired, or any kind of work in the repairing line. MT. Arnet is an expe- rienced workman and comes highly recon mended. He makss shoes to order at reasonable prices. Give him c call.
 The plant of the Warren Laundry com rapy is now rapidly nearing com pletion and will soon fill long felt want of the people of Bisbee. When this plant is once in operation there will no longer be any excuse Tor any one 10 send washing thirty odd miles to e Chinese laundry. The manage nent will make perfectly fair and reasonable rates to ell and will turn out work that will be first class in every particular. Hit became neees- cary the company could very easily put prices lew enough to control the entire business of the town but such is not their desire. They believe that there is enough work in their line now being done outside of town to give them . profitable trade without their encroaching within the limits in which SO many good people of Bi.bee are now depending for e livelihood.
 The parties who have lately been a:ring their bazoos ard talking about tho number of destitute widows ana washerwomsn who will be found after tho laundry starts, might just as vel save their breath. The [ lant is wit b. out doubt very fine one for this par of the country, but the company is no forming 6 laundry trust by any meant and is looking for DO moro than ( Legitimate percentage Of the work o the town.

Travel over the A X s. l.. today was about the same as ueual
 Quite few drum mers went out n this mornings train but their places were filled again by the number ariiv ing this evening.
 The Erie Cattle Co, are keeping on the move of late and are making var iocs improvements on their property. They have just sent several wagon lra Is of barbed wire to ths ranch, and we understand they are adding another immense pasture to those now in ger vice.
 We have heard it remarked a am- Der ot times lately that the lodge Of Good Templars here doesn't amount to much anyway, and :tat most of the members are addicted to tipPling lit tie on the side. We have listened to these remarks without q murmur as, from their frequent recurrence, we have always taken them for granted, but now wo wish to enter & vigorous protest. We went hunting laet Sunday in party Dntaing three Good Tenn p'ars and We know what we are talk Ing about. Our party left 'owh about o'clock Sunday morning nni started for Ryan BrOs. ranch about 92 miles sway ia the Sulphur Spring valley. The morning was quite cold and after driving several miles We asked cur friends if they had anything to drink, whereupon they told us that they were Good Temrlars and had nothing but a csnteen 1f cold tea. We assured them that we did not care what name they carried it under as long as the stuff was all right, thinkIrg of course, the rumo:s We had heard were true and that tho canteen was filled with good cid "snake medicine" Imagine then our dismay, when. on putting the can- teen to our lips. wa discovered that there was no gold behind the silver lining. Ye Gpis! the canteen WAS filled with cold tsa lst imsgins. dear friends, our discomfortura. The next man who tell. any tale on the Good Templars in our presence is going to get called down, and callsd down nard at that and if we are eyer again associated on trip With three Good Templars, we will surely not overlook our private jug in the haste of depar- ture. Oh no, once is enosgh for us ! Cold tea may do for some people but excuse us, if you piese.

They were acrom- panied by the great shi-k, Berthold Gnskls Esq., who is we'll acquainted with the roads of the desert and guar antses to guide them to the much sought haven and ts get them there right side up with care. The expedi- ton is for the purpose of joining some side order of the K. of P. designated by . very fowery Arabian title and to have . real old tesrer of c time. If everything goes well the boys will probably be back about next Tuesday. We sincerely hope they will not be lost on the sands of the endless desert.
 The editor of tho Orb seems to take quite . personal interest in the Bis Lee cemetery of late. and he is cer- tsinly harping upon the m alter a grea. deal more than i, necessary under the circumstances. We sincerely hope the young gentleman himeeli is not thinking of leaving us just yet as one destined to be . shining light among the alksli journalists. We have no doubt that what he says in regard to our much needed cemetery repairs is true, but for heavens sake, Al, wher you have told person . thing seven- teen times without having any sttsn- ton paid to it. don't you think it about time to quit!
 We gusss the members of ou' lodges and our people in general are we'll aware of the condition of the ceme:ary fence and those who are rot will never be reached at this late date by the Weekly Orb.
