sign by which to recognize them when left

is all very well IL you can be assured of
their permanence, but ordinary ink Is very

much longer, and is more easily renewed.

No Mail Service.

The people in the vicinity of Lackland and Lyda are now with. out any mail service. A few months ago the post office at Lackland was abolished, and the people in that community were forced to go to Lyda for mail. On the first of July the post of flee department refused to accept the bid of S2l5 a year for carry ing the mail three times a week from Reeder to Lyda, and that office is now out of service That an injustice is being done these people is evidenced by the fact that a number of parties must go 10 miles for mail. In these days of R. F. D's it does seem that some arrangement could be made to relieve the situation.

 There will be some special features each evening of which have already been arrang- ed. Among the number are in cluded two recitals by famous Southern artist, baby show, a photograph concert, probably moving pictures, etc.
 The affair will open each after noon at o'clock and continue until II, and an admission of 10c for children and 15c for grown people will be charged.
 The enterprise will doubtless be liberally patronaged, both on account of the amusement it will afford and the laudable purpose for which it's proceeds go.

The July Term of the Nevada Circuit Court Convened This
 Morning at 10 O'clock.
THE JURORS ARE EMPANELLED
B. H. Logan is Made Foreman of the Grand Jury and Sam T. White and A. M. Ellsworth are Clerks.
 Interesting Charge.

The July tel m of Nevada Cir cult Court convened this morn ing at 10 o'clock, with Judge Con way presiding, and Prosecuting Attorney Graves looking after the States interests.
 The first business of the court was the empanelling of the grand jury, which resulted in the selection of the following gentle men: R. c. McKinly, Tom Nc Lure, w. $. Hines, B. H. Logan, s. T. White, Walter Ridgell, B. c. Purifoy, Tom Mcdaniel, Tom Luck, B. c. Cross, w. H. White, J. A. Nelson, E. Hatley, Tom Me William, w. A. l.. Waters and A. M. Ellsworth.
 B. H. Logan was appointed foreman and $. T. White and A. M. Ellsworth clerks, with T. F. Burns as bailitf.
 The charge to the jury by Judge Carter was a most inter esting talk on the duties and pow CTS of the grand jury. He dwelt particularly upon the new laws, one of which increased the penal ty for earring pistols to S200 fine and Imprisonment in the county jail; and another of which makes it misdemeanor for any one to appear at public gathering in a drunken condition.
 After this charge the petit jury was empanelled, and the court is ready this afternoon to take up the numerous railroad cases growing out of the 1904 fire, about 20 of which are on the docket this week.

PEACHES
Shipping Season on the Elberta Farm on the F. X N. w. k. R.
 Begins Today.
100 ACRES ARE NOW RIPE
An Excursion Yesterday to the Beau tiful Orchard Enjoyed by Dozen or More Prescott People, With
 o. H. Helbig as Host.

Yesterday Mr. o. H. Helbig was host to an excursion party to Elberta, on the line of the F. & N. w. Railroad and six or eight of our citizens with their families enjoyed a visit to the famous peach orchard near that place. The orchard comprises 1900 acres of Elberta peach trees, 100 acres of which are bearing this year, and the fruit is ripening
 The shipping season begins to- day and sufficient hands were put to work this morning gathering, packing and shipping the fruit, to move the crop at once. A can hing factory has been placed on the ground, and all peaches too ripe to ship, will thus be utilized.
 In two more years the entire 1900 acres will be bearing and the traffic in this line will be quite extensive, it being. .estimat- ed that it will take over 600 cars to move the crop. This will re quire icing the cars at this place, and an ice factory will most likely be put in at convenient point.
 The first shipment of these peaches, which have a rich color, a fine flavor and are handsome in size, will reach Prescott this afternoon. and placed on sale in the local market.
 The trip yesterday was quite enjoyable and was given by Mr Helbig for the purpose of allow ing his mother, Mrs. c. H. Hel- big, of St. Louis, an opportunity tp SSC i4lC 4ol III. | ltl llol dllOllS had been made for dinner for the party at convenient farm house, and peaches and cream were on the bill of fare as one of the delicious after courses.
 The farm is beautifully situat- ed. The scenery is grand, and from some points along the road leading to the orchard mountains may be seen in the distance forty miles away, while clear sparkling springs, and bahbling brooks and shady groves make the spot an ideal place to live.
 Elberta is destined to prove a substantial benefit to Prescott and the F. x N. w. Railroad.

Yesterdays Elections

The elections yesterday bring some surprises, but significance attaches to only two or three state contests and the mayoralty fight in Cleveland. In Cleveland Mayor Tom Johnson, democrat, is reelected. He remains In office by a comparatively small majority, but when 1t Is remembered that his opponent, Congressman Bur ton, partisan of Secretary Taft, had the backing of President Roosevelt, it was triumph for the democratic party and decided setback to Taft's aspirations for the presidency. It practically takes Ohio's "favorite son" out of the running.
 In New Jersey the democrats have gained victory. While that state was formerly in the democratic colmun it has been safely counted re- publican in recent years. Katzenbach, the democratic candidate for gover- nor, will have a substantial plurality Three years ago the republican candi- date for governor received a plurality of 31 ,000 Katzenbachs election will, therefore, prove highly significant.
 The contest in Kentucky seems to be close. Indications point to the cleo ton of the republican candidate for governor, but when all the returns are in the democratic ticket may come out ahead
 In the other states the result was of little national interest

The United States Steel.

While l usually look on the bright side of things I am not an optmist with out reason" said a prominent business man. Conditions might ordinarily con cur in a presidential year to make dull times. but I cannot help feeling that the United States Steel corporation coming into the district as the owners of the Tennessee company's valuable properties will make every thing here exceptionally brisk next year and all the years there after
 There used to a popular prejudice against the Steel corporation; but every well informed person must admit now that that great concern is the most determined developer in this country. It never stands still and we all have cause to feel elated over it's purchase of the Tennessee. The present management has done wonders for Ensley and the Birmingham district. The United States Steel, because of it's practically un- limited capital. will be able to do much more. I predict that 1908 will be record breaker in the industrial life of the dis trict"

Sale of the Tennessee

The transfer of the Tennessee con- pany to the United States Steel cor poration is full of splendid possibili- ties to this district In the respect of advertising it will simply carry the name of Birmingham to the ends of the earth. It has long been better known than any other town of its size in the land, and the sale of it's chief industrial property to the chief steel corporation of the world will make its name familiar to vast addi- tional numbers. This certainly will advantage us. In the respect of de. yelopment the prospect is also most cheering.
 The Steel corporation, big as it is, is not handing out $15,000,000 more or less to lessen competition. It con. trols 50 per cent of the steel output and it is no doubt willing to add from five to ten per cent to it's proportion of the great industry-a feat it can read. ily accomplish through it's new pur. chase.
 It should not be forgotten that the weak point of the Steel corporation has been found in its limited output of open-hearth rails. Bessemer rails md Bessemer steel in general are in nisfavor, and the Steel corporation Is building a great open-hearth plant nt Gary in Indiana, but the Gary plant will not go into full operation in
