 Supervisor F. O. Poison was a business visitor at the county seat Wednesday.
 We were in error in stating last week that Rube Adams was mem Der of the Harvey-Armour hunting party. It seems he had been doing a little hunting on his own hook around the Canyon on this side, and returned to town Wednesday.
 Last Tuesday in Justice Craw- ford's court the civil case of M. Salzman vs. w. K. Ross was occu- pying some attention. It seems the suit was the result of MT. Salz- man having to pay note which he had signed with MT. Ross. The court rendered a decision against Ross in favor of Salzlnan to amount of $119.37.

 Wm.. Friedlein, A. A. Fisher. J. O. Harrington and w. O. Cramer, all of Flagstaff; w. w. Goode and E. Hunter of this city are new sub- scribers to the NEWS this week. Following have made remittances: Geo. McKim, of San Bernardino, Cal; T. w. King, of Needles, Cal; Babbitt Bros., of Flagstaff, and Geo. s. Patten of this city.
 Pete Burns, we understand, made two trips to the "Three Mile" lake Sunday and killed one lone duck. The duck has since cost him, or will cost him, about $1O. Whether it was young or old deponent saith not, yet we understand that after it had been cooked to a finish Mrs. Burns bit into it and broke $1O filling from one of her teeth
 James Irvine, boot and shoe maker, Williams, Arizona. Ladies' and gents shoes made to order. Perfect fit and workmanship guar anteed. Repair work neatly done.
 Phil Ryan on Wednesday even- ing took the job as engineer at the electric light plant, relieving Bobby Burns, who had been holding down the job during the absence of Ed. Hackley on his vacation. Phil says he has given up the notion of going to Central America and will proba- bly, accept position on the Santa Fe after the first of the month.
 Miss Della Donald, charming young lady from New York City, arrived here the first of the week and is guest at the Grand Canyon hotel. Jesse Boyce has tempora- rily suspended himself from duty at Camp 8, though no mention of it appears in the camp notes, and is doing his best to make her stay en- joyable, initiating Miss Donald into the ways of the wild and woolly west.
 Omar Ramey, accompanied by his family, arrived in the city Thurs day noon from Seligman, Mo-, where for the past two years they have been residing on his farm. Having leased that adjunct, MT. Ramey says he has returned to Williams to stay. He says the at- mosphere there is at times SO op pressive a fellow feels like taking a knife and cutting a hole in it SO he can breathe, while here he feels like new man already.
 Hedges x Sons Comedy company were at the opera house Wednes- day evening of this week. Aside from the members of the company there were few others present and they early in the game resigned themselves to their fate and took the ''show" as it came. No one will will want to take it going; all who

yesterday.
 Foster Ward has again resumed his run on the road after 3-months tour of the east.
 Yesterday J. B. Jones, l.. S. Will jams, J. Salzman and Al. Lebsch went out to Coleman lake after ducks. They got about thirty.
 Hereafter the church at Ash Fork will be looked after by Rev. A. K. Stewart of Jerome; Rev. Decker being relieved of that duty will more often have time to visit the local camps.
 Rev. Father Bennett, of the Epis- copal church at Prescott. was the guest during the week of MT. and and Mrs. Wm. F. Dermont. He was formerly located at Albuquer- que, and while here found quite a number of old time friends and acquaintances.
 Doc Melick and Al. Lebsch were out at Red Lake Wednesday morn- ing and returned with sixteen ducks. Guess we will have to quit calling Al. "pot shot," as under Docs able tutalege he's getting so he can knock them down on the wing right along.
 Wm. Friedlein, the we'll known timer and plumber of Flagstaff, was in the city last Tuesday for the purpose of making an estimate of the proba ble cost of new tin roof which will be placed on the Arizona Central bank building in this city by him. He also had his name again placed on the NEws' sub scription list.
 Rev. E. G. and Mrs. Decker re- turned to the city from Tempe last Tuesday evening. For the past month they have been visiting at different points in the southern DOT tion of the territory, MT. Decker also attending the conference at Yuma. Having been returned to this charge the regular church ser vices will be resumed tomorrow.
 Thursday evening at the parson- age Rev. and Mrs. Decker were agreeably surprised by large num- Der of friends who swooped down on them, took possession and held a royal welcome home. The party was sort of box social and was greatly enjoyed. It was especially gratifying to the worthy pastor and his wife to be accorded such a well come.
 J. H. Copeland, the drayman, has just received a new appliance, the latest thing out, for the pur- pose of handling pianos. With this new machine he is able to handle the largest piano without the slight est danger of even scratching the paint. It is strapped to each end of the instrument, and is made so that it can either be rolled or at the wish of the operator, by raising a couple of handles, the whole can be carried without so much as laying hand on the piano.
 Miss Lizzie E. Miller, evangelist, during the absence of Rev. Decker, held services at the M. E. church last Sunday morning and evening, and again on Monday evening. She has been engaged in church work of this nature for the past twenty years, and during that time has travelled all over the United States, Canada and the West Indies. Tues day she went to the Canyon, re- turning Thursday, and yesterday departed for Phoenix. From there she goes into California.
 Hon. John H. Page, accompanied by his sister, Miss Katherine, who some time since returned from the old Vermont home, came in from the Canyon on Wednesday and de- parted for Prescott. From there they will continue on to Phoenix, where, on next Thursday, Novem- Der 2d, Mir. Page and Miss Fran
