AN ENJOYABLE PARTY

One of the most enjoyable and largely attended birthday parties to be given in our city was the one given at the home of Miss Florence Nellis last Monday evening.
 Shortly after the sun had set in the golden west the invited guests began to arrive, and long before the time appointed for the evening'e pleasure to begin. the pretty little home of the popular young hostess was filled with happy young anticipators of night of fun.
 The evening was certainly thoroughly enjoyable ore- Nature herself seemed to approve of the event that was to occur, as the weather was all that one could wish for-one of those delightful. warm, balmy nights that we appreciate so we'll.
 Many interesting games were played, and upon the conclusion of these pastimes, very refreshing collation. was served the many participants who, after wishing their charming entertainer many happy returns of the day and con- graduating her upon the success of the affair, reluctantly departed for home.
 Among those who attended were Gertrude Miller, Rose Terry, Annie Barney. Fife Emerson. Alice Mil Ter, Esther Carlson, Geneva Wag- ner, Flora Wilson, Marjorie Hicks. Ora Ridder. Dora Wilson, Ellen Adelfson, Gladys Hicks, Miss Mae DeMotte.
 Dick Dugger, Harry Adelfson, Clayton Dykes, Claude Poison. Sam Miller. Paul Yoder. Earl Poison, David Salzman, Herman Salzman. Charlie Emerson, Chester Perry. Lille Button, Clarence Her. ron, Mark Smith, Locksley Fray, Oscar Perkins, Frank Perkins, Louis Salzman and Fred Ramey.

The Same Old Story

Another effectively entertaining attraction was presented at the opera house on Friday evening. last week. under the auspices of the Gym Club. The different sketches, by Miss Pearl Herndon. sparkled with wit and indicated much clever knowledge of human nature and the world in general There were no incongruities, and each situation lent effectiveness to her excellent work. As is usually accorded a good attraction in Williams, an exceptionally large" audience greeted the show, and standing room was at premium. Oh, fudge. What is the use of roasting the theatre-goers of this blooming burgP Uncle Toms Cabin" nineteenth century pro duction, will be here next year to play to packed house.

"Pitchfork" Ben TiIlman Visits Here

Senator Ben. R. Tillman, of South Carolina, stopped off here last Sunday on his way to the Grand Canyon. Quite a number of our citizens had the pleasure of an introduction to 'Pitchfork" Ben, and of conversing with him about the topics of the day. The senator is getting along in years, and his hair has turned shade lighter since we saw him last, when he made his famous political speech at the courthouse in Char leston. S C.. which caused riot, but South Carolina's grand old man" still retains that keen, penetrating look in the eye. and all the bouyancy of youth. He is one of the few public men who have the courage to speak their convic- tions. even if it does cause Roose- welt to reach for his "big stick. /" and we admire the senator for his fearlessness.

It's Me
 for Williams July
 4th
FUN FOR EVERYBODY

"It's me for Williams, July Sd and 4th."
 |. Everybody is saying so, and everybody means it.
 The two big days celebration planned by Williams business men is going to be the biggest in the history of the town. All commit tees are working zealously and un- tiringly to that end.
 The track at the grounds have been thoroughly overhauled. graded and put into shape.
 The advertising committee has been hard at work posting big bills announcing :the occasion and giv ing everybody a. button telling of the big day soon to happen.
 Word has been received from many outside towns that large del egations are to be present. The Canyon is to send down a large sized crowd, and all of the camps are anxiously a awaiting the days to roll around when labor can be for gotten a few hours and a day or so of pleasure in the liveliest town in Coconino county can be had. =
 The ball game situation, which last week was in the embryo, has assumed tangible shape Ash Fork will play here, probably a team from Williams to he their op.o- nents. Jerome may be added to the tournament, and the Indians have also promised to come. Good ball games are assured.
 As yet it has been impossible to apportion the several funds which each committee will have to use The racing committee will un- doubtedly be given the largest por- ton, or about one thousand dol lars. From this fund 1t may be imagined what sort of day the third and Fourth will be.
 We are going to have street races. track races. relay races. burro races, a big interesting ball game, Indian contests, broncho busting, gun shoot and hundred other sports.
 A special attraction will be offered in the nature of competi- tive drill by the Williams Cadet Corps for cash prizes of $l0 and $5, and the public will then have an opportunity of witnessing some pretty military work by young America.
 And as a pleasant climax to. the day of pleasure, a swell ball will be given at the opera house in the evening, and we picture our city's spacious dance hall scene of gay festivity. We predict a financial as we'll as social success for the organization under whose auspices the dance will be given. All of our waltzers will be there to ''tip the light fantastic" until the dawn of another day of enjoyment.
 In former years many residents have planned to spend their Fourth in different parts of the territory, the idea always taking form that a better time could be had away than at home. This year. however. has yet to witness any who have planned to leave, and. Williams to a man, woman and child, is plan ming on the stay home policy and enjoyment of the sports provided locally. The season. which~is late. promises to be pleasant on the Fourth, and contrary 10 previous celebrations, little fear may be experienced but what the weather will be all that can be asked.
