A GOOD MOVE.

When we bought the Tribune its
patent medicine contracts had not
expired and we will be compelled
to complete them. But we can as.
sure our readers that when these
contracts expire they wi not te
renewed, except at local rates,
something this class of advertisers
were never known to pay. We do
not take advertiseme at cut
rates simply to fill space. We pre-
fer to give our readers the benefit
of space not paid for at regular
rates.-Florence Blade.
The GUARDIAN adopted these
same rules long ago, which is the
reason very few patent medicine
ads appear in this paper.

CITY SHOULD EXPAND.

Stafford is now in the smallest
baby clothes she will ever wear.
She is just beginning to expand
and it will not be very long until
she puts on long skirts.
Every effort is being put forth
by the city council for, public i'm
provement, and it may be said 10
their credit, that all so far done
will be lasting and beneficial to the
whole town.
There is still another thing that
thc council should take hold of;
it is of public importance and of
great interest to the town general
Y. The block now owned by the
Commercial Club should be pur-
chased by the city. If this were
done it could be turned into city
park and owned and enjoyed by
tae public. 1t will not be long
until we will require city hall
which can be erected on the
ground, or if deemed advisable,
may be turned over to the county
by the city and the court house
and other county buildings may be
erected thereon.
No matter whether il is used for
county or city purposes the town
of Stafford should own it.
The go tncil should give the mat

An Opera.

The people of the valley have
great treat in store in the shape of
the beautiful opera, "H. NJ. S.
Pinafore." A chorus of 50 voices
is now under training of Prof.
Wightman, and the Solo parts are
working hard and according to
present prospects it will be the
musical treat of the season. This
is the first opera produced in the
valley by local talent and should
receive the support and encourage
ment of every person who is in
terested in the development Of this
section of Arizona. Look out for
dates.
The opera will be produced un-
der the auspices Of the L. D. S.
Academy.

| recollect those overalls
That hung beside the door,
Some spots of mud were on their ont
And on their rear some more;
row of fringe adorned each leg,
Made by the wearer's feet,
And patch of sundry colors
Was sewed upon the seat
l recollect their purchase
In a gorgeous dry goods store,
The salesman sporty chap
And spouted words galore;
He said the goods were extra blue,
Their texture hard to beat,
And when he tied them up there was
No patch upon the seat
l recall the chap that wore 'em
Long years before this day,
A somewhat foregn-looking guy
Who helped US with our hay
And when he donned those pantaloons,
He thought them very neat,
But that was long before their
patch upon the seat.
l recollect how he tore EN-
We were load of hay,
tOld MIN Wnere 10 drive the team
He pulled the other way;
struck the sod all right, but he
Performed daring feat,
Furninst the rack in air he hung
Suspended by the seat.

That took to cut the nail
Alas! that | should miss my aim
And prod those goods so frail;
Twas sad, sad thing to think of
And fall of fifteen feet,
But of all the worst disaster
Was the rip across the seat,
The hired girl she patched 'em
With that sundry colored skein,
And though he put them on again
They never seemed the same;
And when some maidens came one day
Jim made swift retreat,
Which movement showed in base-relief
The patch upon the seat
And when he left he bought us kids
Some presents-toys and balls
I let them take whate'er they would
But kept those overalls;
And with boyish love / hung them
Where the evening suns rays beat
And / used to watch the sparkle
From the patch upon the seat.
There they hung at the old homestead
A relic of Jim Woody
One musty pocket inside out
The other as it should be:
And if meet that hired man
When the drums last roll is beat,
bet he'll have another pair

What few trees OF this variety now

ripened in time when all other

The result Of the recent election is
certainly gratifying to the Republicans
Of Delta county. For the hrst time in
ten or twelve years they have elect-d
their legislators, although always divid.
ing the honors Of the county officers
with their opponents. This year the local
talent won the fight without aid from
outside speakers and help. They entered
the campaign with determination to
win and worked all through with that
end in view. But little mud-slinging
was in lulged in. none by this paper, and
the victory was gained honestly, open
handed and above board.
