Home Of Payne's Georgia Sweet
heart.

Home OF Payne's Georgia Sweet
heart.
John Howard Payne, the author
Of " Home, Sweet Home" spent
some time in Athens, Georgia, at
the time the general government
was making an effort to remove
the Cherokees from that state to
lands beyond the Mississippi. He
went there to study their customs,
language and costumes. and to as
certain their sentiments in regard
to the proposed expotriation. To
accomplish his purpose he carried
letters to some OF the prominent
citizens Of Athens, among others
to General Edward Harden, who
was a distinguished student of In
dian affairs, and through whose
influence Payne obtained an inter-
view with John Ross, the most
noted of all the Cherokee chiefs,
by whom he was invited to apjourn
among the Cherokees.
The poet accepted the invitation
of this noble red man, and would
doubtless have given the pnbllc
the benefit of his observation, but
Curry, the Indian agent, in
blundering moment mistook the
object of his visit as boding no
good, and ordered his arrest.
General Harden was instrumental
in securing his immediate release,
but Payne was so incensed that he
wrote to General Harden: "Geor-
yia | will never enter again with
,ut a formal public invitation"
There was, however, powerful
nducement for him to break this
TASTY resolution. General Harden

who arrived from Colorado on the morning train last Sunday. Tn the ev- ening he wedding was celebrated. Rev. .Oliver officiating. Miss Miller is a charming lady whJ maae her home in Jerome for some tim- past until she went to Colorado to prepare for the coming welding. The happy couple are living in the Christine house in the low CT end of Jerome. as happy as married people ever get to he. They are both deserving of the partners they picked out t3 travel through Tiff with, and have the best wishes of large circle of warm friends. The third man c1 step off into double life was F. D. Treadwell. superintendent of the Geo. A. TreadweI Mining company, and manager cf the interests of that com pany in YaVapai county. Mr. Tread well skipped out for California and sud

Jerome, Ariz., Nov. 11.-(Sp5cial Cor
 respondenoe of The RepubHcan)-A great many things of inter st have
 happened in Jerome since my regular letters were interrupted by sickness in nay family. and I shall -ndeavor to re- count soms of the most important events. There are three newly a1ded couples in Jerome and they are all prominent people. Louis Laskir, of th= New York Store, who went to san Francisco a month ago ostensiDly to have a good time on a gular vacation returned Sunday with a bride all of which is just and proper. but surprise to the community. Mr. Laskin is one of dhe most reliable and best known busi- ness men in the town. He married a talented young lady of his own creed and they will live happily forever af- ter, as the story book always avs. They are keeping house like all good married people should do. The second benedict is A. Von Schriltz. of the law finn of Parkinson & Won Schriltz. He surprised his most intimate friends by ge-ing married to Miss Anna Miller,

much of Main street is on a uniform grade as it will be possible to com plste b, fore bad weather sets in. The first work is being done in front of the B -$-d house, where the street is higher than the buildings which were erected on tn legally prescribed grade. A large force of men is employed doing the work.
 The contractor who will put in the water works will commence grading for the pipes in a shortu time. The system will be completed before the end Of January. The town certainly needs protection from fire and has suffered time and again though not having any meaGs of stopping a blaze before it had burned the town down. The present council is acquiGting itself in d most satisfactory manner.
 Lubin will n3-ve his department store across the street co the Merrill build ing a. soon as that structure is compl5- ted, which will be soon. He will have a large store building in a good location. Ben Lubin, brother of the proprietor of the business. is in the east at present purchasing a new stock of goods fer the store.
 F. C. Bartlett, builder anI proprietor of the handsome new Bartlett h.3tel. is in town seeing to the putting on of the fininshing touches to the place. He did Hi-t succeed in renting the hotel de- partment to the right person, so bought the furniture and will conduct the bus iness himself H. has purchased every thing new and first-ciass. Mr. Bartlett has concluded to establish a rsStau- rant in connection with the hotel. and has the range. tables, and other fur nishinss on the road at the present time. He will have the besl- cooks and walters to be secured in Arizona. and will conduct a first-class house in ev- cry respect. The restaurant will be in the first room north Of the hctel en- trance.
 The T. r. Miller orchestra gave a most pieaSant and successful dance in Masonic tlmp!e last night. There was a good crowd present. The orchestra is certainly an improvement on any dance music thaJ has played for dances in Jerome for many moons.
 Geo. 4. TreadwelL the we'll known and successful mining man, is in Ja- rom looking after his large mining in- rerssts in this section. Mr. Treadwell is one of the lucky holders of stock in the United Verde Mining O.
 The Verde King Copper Co. is pro- gressing quite rapidly in opening up its property south of Jerome. The tunnel is being run day and night. with the chances two to one in favor of the ore body now in sight proving perma- nent. Should this prove to be the case stock will jump to it's par value within a. few weeks. The company has a force of m1n working on the trail to ,.he mine and also has another doing assessments on five newly acquired claims in the vicinity of their group. Several mining men have gone out from town to see the property and have invested in q block of stock as soon as they returned to town. Should thz mine prove a suc- cess Jerome will be greatly benefited ther5 by. The present indications are that the tunnel will be in a large body of high grade ore before it has run 30 feet into the mountain.

STUART ROBSON IN HIS MOST SUCCESSFUL COMEDY OLIVER
 GOLDSMITH"

Stuart Robson has been a successful comedy star for a good many seasons now. but it remain d for the nineteenth century to cover him with the ross of absolute triumph which has come in
 the shape of Augustus Thomas latest effort at playWriting entitled "O!iver Goldsmith and written around the life of the famous Irish poet. Nobody liv- ing and playing comedy brings such q -rth of intellectual grace, So much i thought. persuasive wit and mental i grasp of character to a part as does Stuart Robson. To him the stage owes some Of the most ddsning, brilliant and | fmpgrishaole acting the English ! speaking public has ever known. and today his reparte5 Is as cunningly put and his iTagination as pursuant and i sympathetic as when he captured us years ago with his smart, rakisn cap
 tain in "Black-Eyed Susan" Therefore. it was mel, and proper that in the twilight f his magnificent career he should score in what iS now conceded to ! he the greatest comedy success since | the days of Sheridan. And it's not a half-hearted success either if We are to i believe in the judgment of several clev- 1 CT dramatic reviewers who have had 1 opportunity to pass judgment on this
 play.
 Much Of the success attending tha ] production of "Oliver Goldsmith" is ] due to the magnificent scenic costume and property embellishment which Mr. | Robson has suppl q. and his forth coming visit to Phoenix, Monday. No vember 19. at the Doris theater. is an event looked forward to with pleasur- | able interest by a following that has watched his career and enjoyed his ! successes for many seasons past.

CO HE postmaster smiled a little
when he passed out the mail, but
a Luther wilkins did not notice.
He was trying to remember whether 1t
was yeast cake or pound Of cheese
he had meant to get at the store.
He went out Of the postoffice still
ponderlng and ended by forgetting both
articles, his attention being diverted by
the sight Of two boys playing marbles
on the sidewalks. This was the first
sign Of spring Luther had seen, so 1t
was no wonder that his memory played
him false.
After he had got home and had eaten
his supper he thought of the mail In his
overcoat pocket. He brought 1t to the
table and sat down to examine 1t. There
was the weekly county paper, a poul-
try journal, an agricultural monthly,
and last Of all letter.
"Well, now," said Luther, picking 1t
up, Il wonder who's been writing to
me. don't know when I've had let
ter"
He looked at It eagerly, held 1t nearer
his eyes, then farther off. He removed
his glasses and polished them In nerv-
Gus haste. After replacing them on his
nose he picked up the letter again and
scanned it narrowly, then he looked

An error very frequently made In re.
potting palms and other ornamental.
plants is in transferring them into pots
entirely too large in comparison with
the one last used, says the Woman's
Home Companion. The sizes of differ
ent pots are calculated by inches. The
smallest pot In use is commonly called
by the florist 'thumb-pot," and meas
ures about one and one-half inches in
diameter at the top. Into this he pots
many of his newly rooted cuttings, and
as soon as they fill the soil pretty we'll
with roots he shifts them to the next
size, two-inch pot. From this they
increase, by half inches, and it is al
ways well to use the next size above
that last used.
After the plant has attained such pro-
portions that 1t requires something
larger than nine or ten inch Dot. it is
better to use tub, and just here is
where the mistake is often made. A
much larger tub or pot than a plant
really requires often retards rather
than advances its growth. Very often
the florist, when he has a plant that
does not seem to be doing well, will re-
move 1t from the pot. shake off the soil
from the roots, and repot it into a siza
smaller than it formerly occupied until
it starts into more active growth.

A sympathetic Princess.

The following story about the Arch
duchess Valerie Of Austria is told by
the Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Morning Post: A short time ago
13-year-old schoolboy was summoned
home from his boarding school at Linz
The lad was without travelling COM
panions, and, while waiting on the plat
form at Linz, began to cry bitterly. His
distress was noticed by lady in first
class compartment, who summoned the
guard and had the boy brought to her.
She paid his excess fare for travelling
first class, and devoted herself to the
task of comforting him and relieving
the tedlum of the long journey TO Vienna,
TO attend his fathers funeral in Vienna.
telling him that she, too, had suffered
much from the loss of parent, who
had died suddenly and unexpectedly in
foreign land. The schoolboy was not
a little aStonished at the end of the
journey to learn that the kind-hearted
lady was the Archduchess Valerie,
daughter of the Emperor.

He found his hat and left the house,
almost running across the read. He

No one had been thoughtful of her
