 Fredonia is situated in the north west corner of Coconino county, on Kanab creek, which is the line between Coconino and Mohave counties. IL contains about twenty families

IATisONiZE HOME.

No business man or mechanic ever succeeded in his business or trade without receiving home patronage. Flagstaff can never be a city, or n town of any note unless the citizens patrOnize the town merchants, me- chanics and laborers.
 Every dollar sent away to purchase an article that could be obtained here at u reasonable price injures the town financially, and it is pulling down business instead of building up.
 The business man who employ foreign labor because he can get it n little cheaper than home labor. can't expect the home laborers patronage. and the laboring man csu't expect employ ment from the business man or merchant when he sends off to other towns to buy almost every article he needs because he can buy it n few cents cheaper than al home.
 Every man that is doing legitimate business has | light to expect encour. agement and home patronage. No business or enterprise can be carried on with any degree of success without home patronage.
 Our motto IS don't send away from Flagstaif for any article or thing in any line, that you can purchase here.

OUR DECLARATION.

In the course Of human events IL becomes necessary for us to announce to the public that we have leased a half interest in HE SUN-DEMoCRAT. and we shall hereafter assist in fur nishing brain food for it's many read CTS.
 In this connection we will state that we have had experience as Il pencil shower; that we are an adept with the scissors, and as manufac- turer of red hot news, we are without peer, but the news is of such Ii sen sational character that we have often had to seek military protection.
 Our style of writing is eccentric. droll and sensational, sireaked with originality, or. easily distinguished from the writings ot the scriptures, owing 10 our habllual carelessness in handling the truth.
 As to our character as a citizen, we can truthfully say. that we never loafed around to catch the yellow fever, cholera, and kinared affections; that we never robbed bauk, held up a railroad train, served term in prison, or worked on the chain gang, or elsew here. That We always pay ed our just debts (wheu we had lo, and further lbe deponent saith uot.
 Alter these introductory remarks we will stale that we shall not only assist in keeping HE SUN-DEMoCRAT up 10 it's present high standard, but We shall use our best eifolts in making it the peatest, brightest, newsiesl journal in Arizona.
 A live, progressive little city like Flagstaff, deserves wide awake up to-date newspaper; and with the lib- eral patronage of her enterprising citizens extended to us, We feel eonti- dent that HE SUN. DEMOCRAT will meet the demands of the most exact ing as weekly.
 The political policy of lhe paper will remain uudisturbed for the present, but this does not apply to our lndiyid- nal politics, as they are unincumbered, and not included in the capital stock; consequently we will entertain bids from q dollar up, and will give clear title to all purchasers.
 In conclusion, and in confidence, we will state in a-round-about way, that we are not here altogether for our health; that we will take money, bonds, bills. notes, cast off clothing, or any thing else animate or inanimate in exchange for our newspaper efforts. That we will accept ill a professional way, and on easy terms, all invita- tions, privileges. donations, tips bonuses and presents; in short, every thing goes with us.
 Yours until further notice,
 k. H. JONES.

which is still young and fair, on her two
arms, and there settled down upon US
heavy. leaden. the atmosphere of the
desolation of her life.
There was young girl once, and in the
first flush and gladness OF her youth she
married the man she loved. He was
handsome, they say, and gay. A child
was born 10 them, boy. and when he was
scarce six months of age she found herself
compelled to care for its life anu her own
by her own efforts. She d d so at first by
sewing and again by turning her hand to
whatever she could accom- plish with best
results for her boy and herself. And the
child grew day by day at her KIN and she
taught him his first lessons, as she sewed
stitch by stitch-eased her young heart
which was breaking beneath the burden
she had to carry by lavishing her whole
life's hope upon the child.
The San Francisco call., 1897-10-24
That woman was Mrs. La Due.

And the long days passed and he grew
from the babe to the schooIboy, learning
his daily lessons playing his happy games
and getting ready for the battle of life.
In spite OF all pain and sorrow, in the
face OF all uDkindness and bitter opposi-
tion, wanting, struggling, hoping. fear
ing, she knew not what, this mother lived
on through all this time until her boy
grew UP TO manhood in the likeness Of his
father.
They tell me, those that knew the boy,
that he Ioved his mother, and that he was
kind and gentle, and that they were work
ing together 10 keep their little home for
the e>ent. and own it In the future that
Charles might have a fit place for the
home of his wife when the patient and
earnest little mother could not longer
keep 1t for him.
TIey never dreamed, either of them,
that one day before his youth had been
half lived out he would be brought
home to her to die and she should lay him
away and try 10 find hope enough to kee p
her alive in the brown cottage where his
laughter and footsteps and manly voice
still echo, and where his hat hangs in the
hall as though he had just come in.
Oh, mothers, when your only one leans
his curly head against your knee and
llsps his simple questions of the things
his little mind has not learned TO grasp, or
when he comes in madiy from school
with glowing eyes and rosy cheeks and
slams down his books and rushes out
again into the free air to play, drop a
tear of sympathy for this mother whose
only boy once did the same, and who was
kilied-shot in the street while on his way
home to her, for no unnatural fault of his.
Mrs. La Due raised her head presently
and looked through the few bitter tears
that had been wrung from her soul by the
thought of 1T
He was good boy" she said. What
boy in The world, young and headstrong
and impetuous, has not his fault? He

load of crime, and pity for a world in
which such things can be.
