REPLY TO MIR. BYAS.

To the Editor of the Republican. Sir:
 Replying to the late explanation. by Rev. G. H. Byas. of my connection with the A. NJ. F.. church. ! will say:
 In the first place there was never any theological controversy between us. last spring or any other time. Now, relative to the meeting held at the court house which Mir. ByaS speaks of. I will say had the minister performed his ( T. ty in deVising means to hold his m
 bers together that meeting would neVe" have been called. The object of the meeting was for the good and welfare If the members. We constituted our selves a committee to visit the members and learn why they so suddenly dis continued attending ,he several servic
 es The facts were made known on April 18th. In the investigation of the celebrated farce which was termed my trial for sowing seed of GiscOrd and in subOCdinatiOn l was so disgusted I picked up my hat and asked them to drop my name from the roll. When I asked MT. c. H. Byas to rise and tell the people what he did with the money he collected at Fort Grant he evaded the direct question by attacking my character by saying it would be well for his members to investigate how left my home. Why, it will be a pleas ure to have an investigation. I refer you to some of the very best people of the city in which I lived last. The following are ;he names of gentlemen high in social and business position. Dr. J. s. Walker eX-minister to China, sheriff of Washington county, Green vile, Miss; Banker John P. Finley; Druggist Dr. O. M. Blanton, Judge J. H. Wynn, ex-MayOr John H. Evans, planter; John H. Moor. ex-city treas urer. If the gentleman wishes to learn
 my standing, before leaving the city, and will call at once. l will agree to pay the expense of telsgrap aphing to any of the above named gentlemen. So far as the P pie of this community are concerned I am willing to leave my case in their hands as I have lived here for seven years. I must call the readers attention to the choice language this eminent divine used in his article

COMFORT DURING
 THE SUMMER IN PHOENIX POSSIBLE!

It is possible to live with comfort in FhosnjX during the summer season if people will only supply themselves with a few conveni4ncCs A woman spends a considerable part of the day in the kitchen. A cook stove or range once heated in the morning keeps the kitchen hot all Gay, but will Stand ard Wicllless Blue Flame oil Stove that kitchen might be as cool as any room in the house. Besides it's being less ex- pensive than a wood cook stove, it is cleaner, quicker and just as safe. In the afternoon after the mornings work is over 1t is a fine thing to have a ham mock stretched in some shady place. To the tired, heated person, there is no way of reclining so cool and rastful as lying in a hammock. And then with our dewless nights and cloudless skies one may sleep out of doors without en- dangering the health and with com fort on a cot. There are other things that are conducive to comfort here but We haven't the space to mention them. We want to invite all of our Arizona friends to call at our store and see our line of Wickless Blue Flame Oil Stoves, cheaper than wood and safer than a lamp Also see our line of hammocks. They are beauties It bargains; and also see our stock of cots-large assortment, low prices.

Prior to the disastrous yesr of 1893
the route was surveyed, capital
was interested and the live citizens
of both the terminal cities took hold
of the scheme; then the panic came
and gaveit its quietus.
The fact that this enterprise Of
such great moment to our county
is not beyond resurrection is shown
by the following from the Durango
