A merry party gathered at the home
of Mr. and Mrs L. g. Gilbert on Christ
mas day. A Christmas tree loaded
with gifts for all present, singing and
speeches filled up the extra time. A
sumptuOuS repaSt was prepared and all
sat down to the table with merry
hearts and good appetites. Those
present were B. Hawley and family,
Mr. and Mrs Charles Curtis of Stepney
Mrs Jennie Beach and children and
Eugene Peck of Bridgeport, Mr. and
Mrs Charles Gilbert Of Stevenson, W.
d. Gilbert and family, F. E.. Gilbert
E. M. Peck and family and Clifford
Russell and family. The occasion was
one long to be remembered.

called upon to respond 10 the toast, The Commercial Prosperity of the Southwest" He said among other things:
 l, Tt is a sort of a joke for me to be called upon as an orator as the toast master has done. When we want any talking done in Fl Paso we always call on our attorneys. | The oratory of the business man is of an entirely different kind. We take a man into the side room, and there talk him out of all the money he has
 We feel heartily grateful for this reception. In former years you have ben in a measure annexed to the Pa cifc coast by the Southern Pacific. Things have been changed now. The Phelps-Dodge company decided | that it would be 9 good think to build 8 road. They have done this, and now you are emancipated. You will no longer be charged all the traffic will bear.
 The southwest is just now enter ing upon its greatest prosperity. The start has been made, but where it will end cannot say. Arizona will grow until it becomes the greatest copper producing section of the world
 Welcomed by Press
 On behalf of the press of this city. Frank De Souza, city editor of the Re view, welcomed the visitors. J. C. Wilmarth, business manager of the Fl Paso Herald. responded il a happy vein. partly as follows:
 TH1r a11 Fl Paso as a sort of restraining infiu- enee. We have already been asked to suppress a large part of what has been done
 The press of Fl Paso joins with that of Cochise county in building up the resources Of this great southwest. It is our aim to put forward the re sources of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
 The members of the press are not orators. They generally say about one-third of what they think. The org tor says great deal, but thinks only about one-third of what he says"
 Other Toasts
 J. M. Jones spoke of The Future of the Southwest" and did the subject credit. His remarks were to the point and complimented the. southwest for its large share of sunshine.
 ExMayor Magofin of Fl Paso spoke about the great things that are in store for the southwest. and especially Fl Paso and Bisbee We extend our gretting." said he, ito Professor Doug las and his associates for making .t possible that such an event as this could occur this evening.

Bisbee BurIesqued

 When Postmaster Sweet called upon Alderman c. c. Warner to close the speechmaking by responding to | the toast "Bisbee," he brought one of i the brightest and most novel speeches of the evening. Warner spoke as a member of the city council, and from 1 the time he began until he finished, attacked things as they exist here. , He said in part:
 Twenty years ago there vas but one house in the canyon that is now filled with handsome residence and three story business houses. About a year ago. the city got so mean that it decided to incorporate. A few of the disreDu-able people got together and selected the most disreputable among them to be members of the city council. We have a good sample in the mayor. who is with us tonight Since the city has been organized we have built a magnificent sewerage system You gentlemen arrived too tate to see this. We have the most modern fire protection. So you see We have done some good.
 We have built the finest water sys- tenn in the southwest. If you get up early enough in the morning, you can see burrOs distributing the water to the terraced residences on the hill sides.
 Do not know of much more good that We have done for the people, though We have taxed them heavily for it. We are now contemplating tax levy of S20O.000. with which to buy a big dredger and clean out the canyon. If we can get a few of the old mCssbacks out it will be money well spent.
 The business men of Fl Paso, who are with us tonight, would do well to stay at home if they are making a liv- ing there If they ever come back here again they will not be let go un- til they have given up enough money to pay for this banquet
 Tt is no trouble to get money from either of the two banks in this city. Any man can get all he wants at per cent a month, if he has gold bear ing United States bonds to give as se- curity.''
 Alderman Warner gave the press of this city hard cut, and then turned his attention to other matters of local interest. Every subject he handled brought out laughter and applause.
 This closed the banquet Some of the guests went at once 10 their cars where they were to remain for the night, while others went out to see the city.
 Yesterday afternoon the entire party went to Cananea where they were given reception last night. Tonight they will be. at Douglas. and later in the week al Clifton and Morenci

body of men as are with us tonight. It is a great pleasure to be able to eX- tend a hearty and cordial welcome to such able and enterprising citizens.
 We realize the good that Texas is doing for Arizona in assisting us to get statehood. We are proud of Texas tapplause) but we cannot say the same for California"
 Tells About Fl Paso
 Alfred Courshesne was called on to tell what Fl Paso is like. He said in part:
 Tt is with extreme difidence that I respond to so difficult a toast as to tell what Fl Paso is like or will be. We do not come as orators. We have come more to exchange greetings with the people of this section and wish them a prosperous and happy new year
 We come here with the expectation of cultivating feeling here that you belong to us. We are using our best efforts 10 win you away from your old love. and get you to accept the one We have to offer.
 It is only question of time when Fl Paso will be a big metropolis along with the other important cities of the country. Looking ahead I see Fl Paso c city with 15O,000 or 200, 900, with great wholesale houses ample to sup ply the large stores such as you have in Bisbee and Morenci, 1 see it becom- ing the center of this great and grow ing southwest"
 Texas and Arizona
 Judge Flannigan, a recent arrival from Oakland, responded to the toast Texas and Arizona" He said ia part:
 The sentiment which has been as signed to me is a difficult one to han dle I ask the indulgence of all pres ent if I treat the subject m an ineffi- cient manner.
 Tt seems to me that the visitors from Fl Paso are fittingly representing the advanced stage that has been reached in the commercial life of Fl Paso. The same can be said for Bis bee. This meeting seems to me to in dicate the growth of a spirit that will result in a great deal of good to both sections.
 Here in Arizona the mining indus- try has reached that stage where the people are satisfied and no longer pine for the land of milk and honey. need say but little about the great re- sources of Texas for they are too well known.
 T believe that each succeeding day will see an increase in the volume of business that is transacted between. Fl Paso and Bisbee.

TBOUGHTS THAT BREA THE.

The News and Observer issued q
special Thanksgiving number'last Sum
day and it was a most interesting pa.
per. The editor of that paper had sent
to many prominent people of the State
an inquiry what each thought we
ought to be most thankful for.
There we're many responses, and in
them one can see how prone are men
to think in their own peculiar sphere.
The bankers mind turned to things Of
financial interest for which to be
thankful; the teachers mind turned
to..matters of education the preacher
mind turned toward moral and rellg
lous progress the farmers mind turned
toward the bountiful products from
the fields.
It is rather remarkable that so many
responses showed that in almost every

HARNETTS FIRST SHERIFF.
DEAD.

Ex-Sher:f James A. johnson, OF
Buie's Greek, died Saturday. He was
one Of the most noted characters in the
county, and was born In the year 1914,
reaching ripe old age-S9 years. He
WAS Harnett's first sheriff, after the
formation Of tie county IN 1856. He
was a good man, remarkable for his
charity and noted for having the best
memory OF any man lii this section OF
the State, smooth conversationallst
and thoroughly familiar with Har-
nett's history.-Dunn Cor. to Char
1otte ObserUer.
From our childhood we have known
Sheriff johnson, and we have known
few men of more remarkable life. The
fact that he lived to the age of SO years
shows that he was q man of remarka
be strength.
Harnett county has had only sever
sheriffs since its formation In 1855
and Sheriff Johnson, who was the first
is the only one who has died.
It is given to few men to live as ioni
as he has lived and to be as useful al
he has been both as a citizen and as
Christian.
