TO THE PUBLIC.

AS previously announced in this paper a change in the owner. ship of The News occurred to- day There will be no radical change in it's policies or purpose for our only aim is to advance the interests of Prescott and her citizens. The News is independ- ent of every faction and will con tinue to remain that way as we propose to extend a square deal to all.
 The Daily News having passed the experimental stage has be come a fixture, and while its patronage has been satisfactory the expe4se is quite large and we request a generous share ot your patronage. A daily paper, especially in a city of Prescott's s size, is sign of progressiveness and convenience which we be- lieve our citizens appreciate and the more business accorded The News, the better it's owners can afford to make it.

It is said that the first twelve days of the year represents the weather conditions for the twelve months. Today gives us Jan uary. If this be true poor January.
 Bill Pittman, this morning in
 mo over a 1908 calendar, re marked:
 1T see I get a birthday this year"
 Now, Bill is a man that usual ly gets all that is coming to him, but in the matter of birthdays he has a few coming to him. Of course, he does get one occasion ally, just to let him know he is living He had one four years ago, but previous to that it had been eight years since the day of the month on which he was born had appeared on the calen- dar. Bill was born on February 29th, 106-, but what's the use of telling.

The lessons that the old year taught In prohibition love Were enough to quicken every heart As its never done before. Old Georgia followed thrifty Maine,
 And sent the glorious shout Of Freedom ringing through her pines That Whiskey's put to rout. Oklahoma heard the echo
 And took up the glad refrain, And adopted prohibition
 In spirit, law and name. Old Alabam then shook herself
 And said-"By Gum" 1 believe I'll fall right into line,
 And throw around the home, The safe protection that will be
 When rid of all old rum. And so in the mild November days,
 She surely passed the law Of straight out prohibition,
 The strongest you ever saw. Now Arkansas is waking up,
 And will make the echo ring With prohibition music,
 As her men and women sing Of the good glad time a-comin'
 Which is coming soon or late, But we hope all will be ready
 For its coming in 1908.

help it-they are Odd Fellows.
 One of our nervous citizens came down town this morning with a sleeply look in his eyes as if he had either sat up with a corpse or just got married, and was questioned how he liked the way Prescott received the new year last night.
 " Oh, I admire the spirit that prompts welcome recep- tion to any worthy event. and 1908 should have been greeted appropriately, but I couldn't see the necessity of those repeated encores. It expects to stay awhile"
 How many of those good reso- lutions still survive?

 Garrett Whiteside, private secretary to Congressman Ben Cravens, of the 4th Arkansas District, did a regular Frank Merriwell stunt yesterday af- ternOOn.
 He, Mrs. Whiteside, and sev- eral others were returning from a walk to the eastern suburbs of town, when in front of the home of J. $. Began, horse pulling buggy containing Mrs. Geo. Christopher and baby, became frightened and started to run. Mrs. Christopher dropped the lines to grab the child, and the horse started at full speed. In moment Mr. Whiteside wheel ed, and started in pursuit. Te lephone pole after telephone pole was passed in rapid succession. The chase continued for blocks. Whiteside has a reputation for running in baseball games, but on this occasion he eclipsed all records as faster and faster he sped.
 As the horse made the turn at Hamby's, the animal slacken- ed little and Whiteside gained a length. A little further a mud hole was encountered, and he gained two lengths. One more bound, and the side of the bug gy was reached. With one arm he snatched the child from the buggy, and with the other caught the lines, and the race was won by two legs.
 When it comes to WhiStling, well-you will have to admitSun- set did nobly.
 Last night there appeared in the eastern heavens very bright light. There was apparently no reason for the phenomenon. It was too early to be a reflection of the moon and too late for the rays of the sun. All around, ev- anywhere, was pitch darkness, save one bright spot about the size of the roof of the new hotel. Groups gathered on the corner to watch it and discuss it. Some said:
 It is big fire somewhere probably Camden or Fordyce. "
 Others said:
 It is the end of the world don't you see that horn? There will soon be wailing and gnash- ing of teeth"
 It is the fire from Senator Davis speech just reaching Ar 1 lrn,nSne, ],

International Hens.

The advantages that people who live exactly en the line between two conn tries have In escaping the customs and other regulations of both countries have often been recounted. Probably the most picturesque instance of this kind of evasion occurred la the town of Nogales. which Hes exactly on the boundary between Mexico and Arizona.
 On the United states sile of the liae in this town eggss were al one time made costly by tlic revision of the tarif schedule pertaining te that prod. uct inasmuch as the hens In that re- gian Were chiefly owned on The Me*i= can side and were fed by the peasants on cheap Mexican grain
 One year Malh- Yankee arrived in Nogalcs with an eve to business He WIS convinced that his opportunity lay ln thc hlvh price oe eggs Accordingly he put up long heahouse exactly ac6ass the boundary line At the Mex lean end he regularly fed his hens with low priced Mexican er8ln.
 The fowls ate their grain lu Mexico and then walked across the line Into ihe United States to hay their eggs The transaction was. of course, per feetly legitimate, for the proprietor of the hennerN smuggled neither grain nor eggs Rut he awaited himself Of high prices on one side and low prices on the ether.--New York Tribune
