MEMORIAL DAY
....,v.a in sosares With Great Success.

nIo,elv and elaborately than ever sofore observed at Nogales. for which o,eat praise is due the patriotic efiorts and effective work Of Mrs. F. NJ. Main Mrs. George E. Marsh and uocle John Roberts, who had de- voted weeks to the details ofprepara- ,,on and who now rest conscious or ,sceiyine the need of warmest n,aise from their fellow citizens for the achievement accomplished. If was the conception O. Uncle John Roberts to organize and drill the com oany of little boys, the parade of which was one of the most attractive features of the days exercises. With their bright, childish faces, superb hearing. beautiful uniforms, bright little rifles lair guns and the eager attention they gave to the commands of their superiors, the little ones presented sight which will Dc long remembered by the people of Noeales. In drilling and handling the company which turned out thirty-hye strong, all in uniform and under arms-Uncle John had the earnest and capable assistance of Captain J l.. Hathaway, formerly commander of Company G., who put into the work some of his best efforts. Mrs. Main and MFs. Marsh had collected and trained some fifty little girls, whose work of gath erng flowers, decorating the graves at the cemetery, and participation in the exercises at tbe opera house, add cd greatly to the effectiveness of the occasion.
 At nine o'clock in the morning the little soldiers of the juvenile company assembled at the A Athletic Club room, on Avery avenue which they have used as drill r0om). At that place both the little soldiers and the little girls were formed in line, and march ed to MorleysayeDue, marshalled by Captain Hathaway. Everybody com plimented the little fellows upon their sOldierly appearance; and the ease and precision with which the little captain, John T. Brickwood, IT,. handled his command was fsvOrably commented upon by all spectators. He was ably assisted by his two lieu tenants, Joe Began and Eddie Mix; and First Sergeant Clarence Heald looked out for his duties with all the grace and aplomb of a veteran. At the junction of Morley avenue and International street the parade cOuntermarched the company of cadets marching between the lines formed by the little girls, who all waved flags as the little heroes march ca through, after which the little iadles also cOuntermarched and brought up the rear. When they tsscbed the armory of Company G, the other parts of the procession swung into line, and the completed procession moved in the following Ofuer, the first four mounted:

Old Times, Old Friends, Old Love.
BY EUGENE FIELD.

There are no days like the good old days.
The days when we were youthful
When human kind were pure OF mind
And speech and deeds were truthful:
Before a love for sordid gold
Became mans ruling passion,
And before each maid and dame became
Slave to the tyrant Fashion.
There are no girls like the good old girls,
Against the world I'd stake 'em
AS buxom and smart and clean of heart
AS the Lord knew how to make 'em!
They were rich in spirit and common sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and brew, and had taught
school, too
And they made the likeliest courtin'I
There are no boys like the good old boys.
When we were boys together
When the grass was sweet to the bare brown
feet
That dimpled the laughing heather
When the pewee sang to the summer dawn
OF the bee in the billowy clover;
Or down by the mill the whippoorwll
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love,
The love that mother gave u.s.
We are DID, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-God save us
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder,
AS those dear old dreams bring soothing CLEANS
or Heaven away of yonder.

Byron Farmers Club.

The Byron Farmers Club met Thursday,
June 9th, at the home of RobertlFox Jr.
Vice President Mrs. James Goff !presided on
account of the indispOsition of president
Boice. Secretary Fosket not being present
Miss Ola Fox was appointed sec. pro tenn.
But few of the members being present, the
regular order of business was omitted and
the club adjourned until after dinner.
After dinner the question box was passed
and Mr.. Orr answered to the squestion:
"Does it pay to follow regular rotation
of crops?" That goodljsdgment was nec-
cessary in determining the question, as cir
cumstances and seasons varyssO much in
this state that we often are obliged to
change our plans in the spring. Most of
the members were of the opinion,,th we
should follow a regular rotation as far as
practicable, and especially so far as to seed
down after two crops. Mr.. Arthur Bots
ford who was present, although not men,
ber of the club, was requested to answer the
question; "Is farming trade, business or
profession?" Strangely enough he came
to the conclusion, after stating thatsa farmer
to be successful, had to study and read,
therefore it is profession. Others thought
that 1t was simply an occupation. Miss
Bell Fox tried to answer the question,
'What is the difference between fruit and
vegetables?" But about as farAas any one
could get was to name the vegetables and
fruits, but could not tell what constitutes
the difference.
Mr.. Arthur Bottsford was then elected
member OF the club. Then the question Of
uniformity of text books came up and some
were found to be in favor of it and others
were in favor of free text books. 1t seemed
to be the opinion of the members that they
need en!ightening on the subject so as to
know which will be for their best interests.
1t was decided not to hold meeting In
July but to hold the next meeting on the
second Thursday in August. A letter was
read from A. E. Richards, of Corunna, in
viting the club to hold the next meeting at
his house and it was unanimously voted to
accept his invitation. f.

INSANE ASYLUM.
The Building Nearing Completion-Prob>
 ability as to Its Occupants.

A BUN reporter lnlerVleWeu MT. J. l.. V. Thomas. the custodian of the Re- form school at this place, but failed to elicit anything beyond the mere facts as to what is being done in the way of work on the building. As everyone knows who has travelled through the territory the Reform school is the finest public institution in Arizona. For some reason known { only an Arizona leyis- lature the last assembly changed ihe objects its original projectors had in view and passed a bill making it an in- sane asylum. The only reasonable so- lution to their action is the general drift of that party. It wanted to pro- vide while yet in power comfortable eelemosynary home for its members by the time Arizona had through progress sive republication become a state. But anent the interview. Mr. Thomas said the work on the building is pro- gressing admirably. The roof on the building is now being painted is rap idly as possible. There is some delay accustomed from the fact that there are 25O windows to be put in. and these are being made in California. Then they have to be painted. Grading is being done on the west side of the building. the stone debris from the blasting being cleared away. When the building is completely finished and furnished it will undoubtedly be the finest and most imposing public insti- tuition in the territory. It is now cer- tain that the territorial board of con- trol have got move on them, and the completion of the noble building Is only a matter of time. When fin ished it will be an ornament to Arizona and pride to Flagstaff.
 A. w. Jurden will have charge of the work. and. being a practical builder
