 The copious rains of this season have resulted in good in various ways. One important thing that has result ed from them is a dense growth of weeds on the unsightly pile of rocks in the court house plaza, shutting out from view the rocks and giving it the appearance of mound of earth, over grown with weeds. The weeds are more beautiful than the rock S.
 G. w. P. Hunt of Globe has entered into politics again. MT. Hunt repre- sented that county in one branch or the other of the legislature for a number O f years, but finally married and settled down to a quiet domestic life.

In the same pasture Mr. RokohI has COW which is nursing a young calf. Of late it was noticed that when the COW was turned in with the calf the latter was unable to secure its expect ed rations. A watch was kept on the COW to ascertain what was robbing her of the milk intended for the calf and it was not long until the discovery was made that it was this colt which | nursed the COW with as much zest and l satisfaction as if she were his natural l mother.
