Read the ad of the Weatherford hotel. The NEWS is recognized by outsiders as an excellent advertis- ing medium, and yet there are a few of our local firms who overlook this fact.
 The Arizona Central bank has installed a case of safety deposit boxes for use of customers and others who desire a fire and bur glar proof place to leave valuables. Ask MT. Pyle to see them.
 Our old friend, George Irwin, left yesterday for Iberia, Mo-, where he expects to remain until after the St. Louis worlds fair. George has a host of friends here who will miss him during his absence and gladly welcome him upon his return.
 This paper might be filled with items like the following, and every one be the absolute truth. I had rheumatism for years and tried almost everything, but got no per manent relief until used Cham berlain's Pain Balm, three bottles of which have cured me. It is the best medicine I have ever used Philip k. Rhoads, Pennville, Mo. Pain Balm is for sale by the Williams Drug Co.
 MT. J. w. Weatherford, the ge- nial and well known proprietor of the Weatherford Hotel at Flagstaff, came down Thursday to get a glimpse of the new Williams. Hewas agreeably surprised, he said, at the size and elegance of our new stores and buildings which speak in no meager terms of the enterprise of our citizens. While here he made a pleasant call at the NEWS office and incidentally placed an order for advertising space in the great family weekly.
 The private school, which has been conducted the past week by Mr. Clifford and Miss McIytyre, will on next Monday be converted back to a public school and all money paid for private instruction will be refunded. Clerk Nellis received mo- tice this week that a new apportion- ment of school funds had been made and that sufficient money was on hand to continue for three weeks longer. Send the children to school on Monday morning that they may derive all possible benefit from this additional term. Miss Marine will assist the teachers first mentioned.

Farmer Surprised His Wife.

The surprising manner in which q
farmer in Fulton county, Kentucky,
surprised his estimable wife is thus
related by the Fulton Leader:
ga good story is aold of farmer
living easS Of Fulton, who wore his
old suit, the one that Noah left in the
ark, till every one was tired Of IL, aud
his estimable wife was almost asham-
ed Of the hustling farmer who had
been inside Of it 80 long. But one
day recently he came to Fulton to sell
his produce and while in town he de-
termined to buy new suit and, hap
py thought! surprise Eliza. So he
bundled neat suit in the wagon and
drove homeward. It was after night
as he hurried home, and at the bridge
near Boaz Chapel he stood up in the
wagon and peeled and threw the de-
spised old suit into the river. Then
he reached for his clothes. They
were gone-had jolted out of the
wagon. The nigh. vas cvld and his
teeth chattered as he hurried home.
He surprised Eliza even more than he
anticipated.

Then 1t vas that twenty-five private
soldiers, composed of men from the
Ninth and Eleventh Georgia regi-
ments, volunteered to go ou. and take
them, and we brought in four stands
OF colors and 600 men.
One feature Of the act was no doubt
impressed upon every one who re-
members the deed, and that was that
among the men we captured there was
the tallest man l ever saw. He was
also lieutenant colonel of one of the
regiments we captured. 1 now know

they are Tom Hancock, Harris county;
Harrison Barnes, Meriwcther county,
and j. l.. Wenthcrs, Stewart county.

Small l'ox.

This dreadful disease is now very
prevalent in all parts Of the country,
and, as exposure to its malignant
breath is liable to occur at any time
no matter how careful we may be, it
behooves everyone to take proper pre-
cautions to prevent the germs from
affecting the body. The doctors say
that pure blood, good digestion and
regular bowel movements materially
aid the body in resisting attack, hence
1t ie the course of wisdom to purify
and strengthen the system without
delay. A most effective remedy for
this purpose, one that combines the
necessary properties for purifying the
blood, strengthening the kidneys, ton
ing up the digestive organs and for
cleansing and regulating the bowels
will be found in that well known sys-
tenn tonic and purifier, PrIckly Ash
Bitters. This valuable remedy is the
right thing for putting the body in
shape to resist the effect Of exposure
to Small Pox. No one will knowing
ingly expose himself to this disease.
The exposure usually takes place when
it is least expected, therefore the
need for precautionary measures is
the more urgent. 1t is safe to say
shat the frequent use of Priokly Ash
Bitters while the disease is so preva-
lent will keep the body in such fine
physical condition that no ordinary
exposure will affect it. Evans Phar-
macy.

the strongest material for its weight
which could be obtained, but recent
experiments with aluminium have
shown that this light metal can be
made quite as strong as wrought iron
by the addition Of another light metal
magnesium; that the compound is
lighter than pure aluminium, and that
1t has the tensile strength and stiff
ness Of wrought i-on. Thus the ea.
gineer is put in possession of very
light and powerful motor, and q light
and strong material quite unobtain-
able only few years ago.
With these improvements it now
becomes relatively an easy matter TO
construct flying machine, and I feel
sure that such machines will make
their appearance and become part
OF the military armament Of the nation
inside of the next ten years. Expert
mcnts with flying machines are enor-
mously expensive; in fact, the expense
is too great to be borne by q single in
diuidual Of modern means.
Il think We can truly say with
Lord Rayleigh that flying machines
are only question of lot Of time
and lot Of money, and at the present
moment am saving up my pennies
in order to enable me to have another
bite at the same old cherry

An Experience Near Richmond.

Editor Atlanta journal: The enemy
had been trying to flank us out of our
works all day, and we had left several
of our regiments along the line on
picket duty. When, late in the after
noon on the 9th day of October,
1864, as the cnomy was advancing, the
Ninth and Eleventh Georgia regiments
rushed in just in time to save our
works.
We were four or five miles below
Richmond on the north sido of the
James River.
We fred several shots into the enc

yard, and since night was rapidly ad-
vanoing we were very anxious to cap.
