A Neat and Cosy Rretreat, Where Light Refreshments and Confee-
 tionery Are Served.


 The Crescent Parlors in the Hughes building. near the gymnasium, has thrown open their doors to the pub lie and announced ready for business. Mir. Morse, the manager, IS well known in Bisbee, and has shown that he is no novice in the line of business he has undertaken. The refreshment parlors. with eight tables, and the walls tastefuly decorated, in which large mirrors play an important part, is one of the most inviting spots in the city where small parties can drop in after an evening at the gymnasium, or theatre, and be served with dainty refreshments. including oysters, sand wiches, cake, coffee and cocoa. MT. Morse stated yesterday that nothing but the very best of everything would be handled. In the front is the soda fountain and the candy show cases. and in few days the candy shop will be opened in the store adjoining the parlors, where fresh candies will be made daily. Ice cream, made from pure Maricopa county cream, will be one of the leaders at the Crescent and altogether the new business ven. ture starts of with every indication of successful end.

 the prudent and careful housewife re. plenishes her supply of Chamberlain
 Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over and results are much more prompt and satisfactory when it is kept at .nand and given as soon as the cold is con t7acted and before it has become set tied in the system. In almost every instance severe cold may be ward,S oil by taking this remedy freely as soon as the first ndcation of the cola appears. There Is no danger in giv- ing it to children for it contains ro substance. It is pleasant to take-bofh adults and children Ike it. Buy it and you will get the best It always cures.

POOR FARM WOULD BE BIG SAVING.

The financial statement as prepared by the clerk of the Board of Super visors for the year 1903 shows that one of. the largest items of expense. if not the very largest, is the care of the indigent sick and poor of the coun- ty The expense of the hospital even exceeds that of the sheriff's of fee with its mum erous deputies and attaches.
 ?, At the beginning of 1903 the pres 4ent cd of Supervisors made an ef- fdle elose contract with the Board of Supervisors of Maricopa county for the care of the ipdigent sick and poor of this county at the Maricopa county poor farm, located near Phoenix, and the chairman of the present board re- turned home with the terms of the contract practically agreed upon, but at the last minute the Maricopa coun- ty board went back on their verbal agreement, and since that time there has been no concentrated effort along this line.
 ut IltNltn lidS IL CA SOO4 o0tAOi ity that the Board has not abandoned the idea of poor farm for Cochise county, if not at this meeting of the Board, then at the succeeding meet ing, a proposition in detail will be presented for their consideration, showing that by the expenditure of a few thousand dollars as a beginning the County of Cochise would be say ed annually thousands Of dollars in the care of it's indigents.
 A suitable location is right at hand in the San Pedro valley, where farm with sufficient water for irrigation purposes could be obtained, and in- stead of a score of indigents being confined in the hospital at Tombstone, they could at least earn their board if some laanner of employment was of- fered.
 The population of Cochise County is increasing at rapid rate. and each succeeding month sees an addition 10 the patients and indigents confined in the county hospital The expenae for it's care and maintenance has be- come burden. and now is he time to take some steps looking toward 'e- lief. Other counties in the Territo- " have adopted the plan of q poor farm, and have noted the favorable results. It is hoped that the present Board of Supervisors will continue their efforts in the same direction un- til they have relieved the taxpayers of this county from an unnecessary ex- pense.
