THE CAMP MEETING.-The camp
 meeting conducted by the Methodist church South drew very large attend
 ance last evening. There were servi-
 ces at few of the churches and many
 who would have attended there went | instead to the camp. The effect was i als5 noticeable in tn. small audience at | the band concert.
 ! LEAVING IRON SPRINGS.-Within
 two or three weeks the se.tson at Iron | Springs will have ended. Already the campers are beginning to leave and un- less another warm spell comes on there will be comparatively few left, although seveI al campers will remain until Oc- tober. The first season there has beer,
 Il remarkably successful one and the club feels much gratified.
 UNUSUAL WEATHER.-For the past week the weather bureau records show the most delightful weather that Pho nix has enjoyed for many years. During last week the average tempera- ture was from three to four degrees lower than during this same time in August for ten years pasc, and people coming back from the north and the coast state that the conditions here are more pleasant than at the summer re- solts.
 MARRIED SUNDAY.-Mr. David S,rahl, of Mesa, and Rebecca Strahl, of San Diego, California, ,wer Q married Sunday evening at o'clock, by Judge N. A. Morford, of the probate court, at his residence on North Ttird avenue. in the presence of few friends of the contracting parties. Mr. Strahl is a conductor on the Mesa branch of the NJ. & P. & s. R. V. railroad and has many friends in ,his portion of the ter ritory. They will reside at Mesa.
 ABOUT FISH STORIES.-The Ari- zcla tourists who have visited the coast this year have either had very poor lycl or pledged themsrlV to secrecy about what has transpired during the s-mmeT vacation. August rarely ever IdssgS without some wonderful tales from the seaside ranging all the way from rGmarka bl catches of small fi-h up to whales and sea sgrpants. But up to date, this year. wa.h one exception. there is n thing to indicate that even a p1liWoE Has been taken. The exc D. tion was a case where the Gsh Was so small the fisherman Was ashamed oI it and another membgr of the party told Ci it's capture.
 LITTLE CANDY SOLD.-"We sell precious little candy during the sum mer." remark a co9cection5r. Sunday. During he winter there is big trade in all kinds of sweets and particularly in imported chocolates, most of which come from California and Chicago makers, but there is no demand during the summer. It is, in fact impossible to either sall or keep chocolates during the heated spell. unless they are put in cold storage. The extreme heat soon nIelcz the coating and the pieces run to- gethsr. We necessarily carry large stocks in the winter, but if we are not entirely sold out by the last of April. the stock on hand soon becomes worth less. The drug stores, too. are cutting In on our business, as nearly all handle candies of the better grade"
 ART IN ARIZONA.-The easterner who cherishes i5he idea that the Ari- zonian has neither time nor talent for the higher arts stands in line to have that delusiCn dispelled. It is nJr ap uncommon belief that in Arizona the highest achievement to which one may aspire is the modish rOping of a steer. sci ntific stealing of water or proper holding of a poker hand.
