Iron King, December 10, 1903.
The c. E. antiworry meeting held
on Sunday evening last was led by
Mrs. A. Pain who handled the subject
most excellently. In the discussion
the speakers brought out many inter
esting points regarding the cause and
cure of worry" These G. E. meet
ing are entirely undenominational in
their character, being participated in
by all interested in Christian work in
its broadcast sense. Begun last
August in a purely tentative way, they
have steadily grown, largely under the
happy inspiration of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mrs. Pulsifer, the president of the So
ciety, until now they may be said to
be a unique feature of our Iron King
camp, and factor in its higher life
that we should not willingly abandon.
Rev. r. d. Latter, the Baptist
missionary, so frequent a visitor to
our camp, during the last six or seven
months, has gone south to the Salt
river valley on an extended trip with
the gospel wagon. He has been ap-
pointed colporteur for Arizona by the
Baptist Missionary society. He plans
to carry on his work chiefly in South
ern Arizona during the winter return
ing to this vicinity in the spring.
Rev.A. Biggs who conducted church
service last Sunday morning is the
newly appointed Baptist missionary
to Iron King, McCabe, Walker, Poland
and adjacent mining camps. Although
only young man, Mr.. Biggs has seen
many phases of life. Entering the
ministry in Australia, his native land,
be went as a missionary to the inter
Tor of China which place be was forced
to leave through the outrages of the
Boxers. 1t is safe to say, that lively
as undoubtedly some of the min
ing camps of Yavapai certainly are at
times, they will probably seem COM
paratively tame to one who, like Mr..
Biggs, spent so many days expecting
most horrible death at any moment
Mr.. Biggs and his wife at present are
living at Dewey. He will preach at
Iron King every other Sunday morn
al T41r 1o~-
ing.
We are sorry to learn that b.
Blanchard who was expected here
about Dec. 10 will be unable to re-
turn till the new year. He is at pres
ent in Kansas City, where he will
spend Christmas with his friends.
j. Blanchard leaves camp this week
for Los Angeles where he will spend
short holiday.
"Bill" Addison, on account of the
illness of his mother, left on Tuesday
morning for his home in the east.
Bill was one of the best all around
men in our camp. His proves on
the base ball filed as captain of the
renowned and once defeated Iron King
team. his musical ability and his gen
ial manner and lnimitable wit made
for him a host of friends who much
regret the necessity for his departure.
The Blanchard school closes on
Wednesday, the 23rd, and the child
rem are already enjoying, in anticipa
ton, the Christmas holidays. The
term Just about to close has been sue
cessful in every way, and reflects great
credit upon the teacher in charge,
Miss Lowry, who enjoys a most e0-
viable reputation among both pupils
and parents. The school Is to be con-
graduated upon securing the services
of teacher of experience and mark
ed ability.
j. Wilson and 10. Bassett, the dia
mond drill experts, will spend Christ
mas with friends in Prescott.
1t is not uncommon for a man to
|
head, but Iron King boasts citizen
who lost a watch from his pocket be-
cause another man stood on his head.
Rumor has it that. the loser of the
watch in this case halls from Missouri.
A Christmas tree and entertainment
are to be given in the church on
Christmas eve to which everyone in
the camp is cordially invited. The
entertainment consisting of songs,
recltations and choruses is to be rem
dered almost entirely by the child
rem. All who remain in camp for
Christmas will undoubtedly attend.
Miss Lowry has been carefully train
ing the children for some time, and
the whole affair, the fisrt of its kind
in Blanchard, promises to be most en-
joyable throughout. There will be
candy and nuts for the boys and girls,
and also for those who we're boys and
girls twenty, forty and fifty years
ago. Everybody come.
Mrs. Frank Demaray has left camp
for Prescott where she will remain
with her mother, leaving Franks gas
Economical welfare in the hands Of the
Chinaman.
A dra matte entertainment under
the leadership of G. Kennedy is in
preparation to be given some time
early in January. The histrionic tai
ent in camp is to take part, and many
surprises are certainly in store, when
"Out in the Streets is played on the
stage at Iron King.
Miss Pulsifer, who has been in
Tempe at normal school, all fall, will
. spend her Christmas holidays here in
