 es of mistletoe and greens. Fruit punch was served during the play, and

 was enjoyed by all. Among the guests

 The members of the Roosevelt church are overjoyed to learn from Rev. Thos. J. Moffett. synodical mis- sionary of the Presbyterian church for Arizona, that Rev. J. c. Mergeler, ] the church here, is at last on his way. MT. Mergeler, who is a graduate O. the Lane Theological seminary at Chlcin- natl, Ohio, comes very highly recom- mended as one fully qualified to carry on the work in such place as RcOse- welt. He was expected here in time to take charge of the services last Sun day but was delayed several days on account of the heavy snOwstorTns in New Mexico. During his absence Mir Moffett, who has just returned from d flying trip to Phoenix and Flagstaff, took charge of the services both norm ing and evening.
 While in Phoenix MT. Moffett called upon several of the represeH tative cili- zens and merchants of that place and secured several subscriptions both in money, and materials fer the new CiluICil DullulAlS III INOOoCNt4Lr hlAAN~l AS now under way of construction.
 When seen last night by The Re
 publican representative MT. AIoffett gave out the following statement re- garding the church's condition: Just at this time we, of the congrega gation, who have been working for some time in the past to obtain a house of wor- ship for the church in Roosevelt feel very much gratified at the success that is ours. We have secured in cash and subscriptions to be paid when the church is under roof, something in the neighborhood of $40O, in addition TO donation of labor and materials amounting to nearly S100 more.
 "The building itself is to be a frame structure, p by 35 feet in size, and To- cated just in front of the government hospital on the main street of the town. It is to be electric ligh-ed throughout, and will have a seeting capacity of nearly 25O. Heretofore inc congregation has been worshipping in the school house, which has been very kindly opened to them free of charge by it's owner, MT. w. D. Kemp, but it is hoped that the new building will be nearly enough completed by next Sun day so that it can be occupied at that time- A large force of carpenters is at work on the job, and It is their purpose to rush it's completion as rapidly as possible.
 Rev. MT. MergeIer will have charge of the dedication ceremonies, as MT. Moffett intends leaving shortly for Flagstaff, where he will be peIma- nently located.
 Among the recent arrivals in RoOse.- welt during the past week are F II. Paddock and family, of Fresno, Cal. MT. Paddock comes to take charge of tNe bookkeeping work in the office of the Roosevelt Mercantile company. He expre sses himself as being much dt- lighted with Roosevelt and Arizona in general, and says that it is his purpose to make him nome here for some time. He is a brother of Clarence Paddock, an employe in the service of the Unit ed States geological survey.
 Misses Mabel and Maude Russell of Globe, Ariz., were the recipients of ! pretty dancing party given in tleirI honor at the Roosevelt opera house on last Monday evening. The affai- was somewhat in the nature of sur prise to the two young ladies, who were visiting friends during the la-e holidays. It was through the courtesy of w. D. Kemp that the party coul6 be given and as only a limited number were in attendance, a very enjoyable time was had. Light refreshments were served during the evening, and music was furnished by the Roosa- welt orchestra.
 Dr. w. G. De Wore. the dentist, of Tempe, has hung out his shingle foI a few days in Roosevelt, and bids al
