Christmas.

Christmas is a time that awaken: memories of the past, recalls associa- ticns Of childhood, the days when pleasures were unmiZed with real trials or disappointments, when simple exist ence was synonymous with perpetual happiness and every moment was jew eled with a joy" Then the memory rcyerts to the nearer past and We think of the vacant chair, cf loved ones gone before, of the cid home where Cn the Christmas day Of long ago thsre gath cred father. mother, mother. brothers, sisters. friends, now widely separated from each ether, some resting beneath a covering of earth in the old cemetery Of cur native home. These sad and happy memories. intermingled, finger with us at Christmas time and we would not drive them away. fer they are sa- cred. We see again the cid father and mother. brother and sister, and hear their merry laugh and kindly greeting.
 and selfshness gives wGy to higher impulses and we are the better fer it.
 For the moment We are children once
 again. and have Cnly thoughts Of purity and innocence. Christmas is the one Eoly day of the yCar-the sacred Anni- vcrsary. and the enc holiday that is precious to the children and to Us all.

A Family Reunion.

For the first tine in twenty years the entire Pclhamus family were all to- eether at the homo of Captain and Mrs. Polhamus in Yuma Cn Christmas day. It was the cccasiCn Cf happy family reunicn-cf the children iii the town of their birth and where the father and mother have lived fer nearly fifty years. The members cf the family ana their present places of residence are as follows: Thomas M. Polhamus, wife and child, Santa Monica, Cal; Mrs. Frank T. Osu aid and two chil- iren. Santa GIcnica: Mrs. Peter B. Hodges and two children, Miss Geor- gle Polhamus. Miss Jennie PolhamUs, James NJ. PolhamUs and Isaac Polba- mus, Jr., Yuma; Albert A. Polhamus, Los Angeles.
 Captain Polhamus is one of the eldest white settlers i'll Arizona. He came to Yuma in 1856, and ever since that time and still is engaged in steamboating Cn the Colorado river. He is the superir- tendent and traffic manager of the Gel orado Steam Navigation Company, whose steamers are just now engaged in traffic from Needles up the river.
 Captain Polhamus anl his wife are both enjoying gcod health, the captain though somewhere past the three-scOre- and-ten mark being as vigorous and active as many men are Gt 3j and 10.
 The Sentinel hopes the Captain and his worthy wife may live to enjoy many happy reunions of their family, in the full possession of their faculties and physical health, in order that such Cc- casicns may, like the present che. be enjoyed to the full.

Death of Casslus M. Coe.

A press dispatch from Colorado Springs announces the death of Cassius NJ. Gee, well-known newspaper man of the Pacific coast, CD the 23rd instant. AIr. Gee was very well known in Yuma, where he spent several months for the 1 benefit of his health. He came here directly from Nome, where he was pub fishing a newspaper called the Gold 1 Digger, leaving tie paper in charge Of his wife, a trained and capable news paper woman. When Mr. Gee arrived here he was suffering from the after effects of pneumonia contracted at Nome; but his health improved rapidly until after trip into the Imperial country last winter. This trip was made upon the advice of a San Fran i cis co physician, who also insisted that ! MT. Coe should rough it, take stren- uous outdoor exercise, etc, and there is no doubt thst it was by following this advice and as result of exposure dur 1 ing the rainy spell in February, to which sort of experience he had never | been accustomed in health, that he came to his death. When he returned | to Yuma the mark of the Grim De stroyer was upon him and it was plain i to his friends that he had not long to live. What made it more pathetic was ! his own realization Of his doom, though never openly acknowledging it, but bravely striving against hope fer ex- tended life-for he wanted to live. Who, in the full possession of his men, i tai faculties, does not?
 Mr. Coe left here in March, going to Tucson, where he temporarily inn proved. Later he visited, briefly, Tombstone, Fl PasO. Santa Fe. Los Vegas, and finally Colorado Springs, from which place he wrote, under date of September 21: 'I improved very much upon arriving here" But as it of necessity proved, the benefit was Cnly temporary-a last 1icksring of the vital spark before going out forever.
 Afr. Coo was q quiet, unassuming man, though highly intellectual, and when in gccd health, active, energetic and ambitious in his chosen profession. He was of sympathetic nature, and man whcsc friendship was worth hay ing because it was honest, Unseltish and sincere. The memory of his friendship and association will remain with the writer as a cherished experience in life.

An AffraCfiye MarkeI,

When q meat market is attractive enough to cause people to gather at the entrance by the score to view the fine display of meats and tasteful decora- tions. the fact is worthy of mention bc- cause such an occurrence is as rare as the juicy beef impaled on the hooks within. The splendid Geld Air Stor- age Market Of David Ealsz, dressed up little extra fer Christmas times, is one of he incest and most attactiye mar kets We have ever seen. There are fine fat becves. mutton, veal and pork ga- lore. to say nothing Of the plump tur- keys and chickens. It is no wonder that people stop to lock at the display, the attractiveness of which is greatly enhanced by tasteful decorationS-the artistic work Of Misses Agnes and Ka- tie Balsz, who were assisted by JCe Balsz and David Balsz, Jr. A notable part of the meat display is the carcass of an 8O-pOund yearling sheep and that of a five months old lamb weighing 5O pounds, both raised by cash Smith on
 his farm in Yuma valley. Another feature is an lS00-pound steer, prod
 uet Of Salt river valley. The display could not be eXcelled anywhere.
 i The killing and dressing was done | by Aleck Balsz and is 9 fine exhibition
 of clean and skillful work.

A good time to think most seriously Of the harvest is seed time. The decis- icn yCu make then will determine the value Of your crops later. The growing competition. in seed selling is an in- creasing temptation to unscrupul0us dealers to make extrava9ant claims for their seeds, both in price and producing qualities. Tle wisest farmers are th1se who are influenced most by what expo rience has proven to be good and true. Thousands Of seed sewers in all sections Of the country sew Ferry's famous seeds every year and have the satisfaction Cf gCod harvesls 10 justify their continued faith in the Ferry firm. They gay a few cents mere at seed time. but realize many dollars in better crops at the har- vest. The natural consequence of tlis confidence is an ever increasing busi- ness. D. NJ Ferry Gc Co. sent cut last year more seeds than any ether seed house in the world.
