The effect of the furry on immigration was qulck and marked. In the first seventy four days of this year the for eign arrivals Iwere 44,7l2 and departures 13l, TAO. In the corresponding period of 1907 the arrivals were l39,052 and the departures 33,G42.

New Steel Bridge
 Nearly Completed

The big new steel bridge over the Sogaies Benson line just north of Fairbank, which has been building ior nearly a year, vii De finished in a cnup'e of weeks. This substantial structure contains three spsns, with long approaches and the San Pedro river, over which it crosses, had to be rip-rapped a considerable distance to reduce the danger of the shifting streams washing around the bridge. The painters arc now at work ou the structure,

It Is with sincere pleasure that we find on our desk a copy of the new journal, the Bisbee Tribune. We have the honor of being personally acquainted with Messrs. Me- Farlin and Gould, and appre- ciate their honest professional qualities. and regardless of politics, We predict that they will be successful in the field which they have so recently entered. Their paper is highly presentable and will be a power in the republican ranks and a factor for much good in adver- tising the resources of our magnificent county.

Counterfeit Bills
 In Tombstone

Manager Sheldon Hams, Oi the Tombstone Telephone Co.,, is the possessor of rare curiosity in the form of five dollar counterfeit bill which some unscrupulous one rushed on to him in the excitement oi the moment. Now that the barl: has pronounced it b gus, everybody can see that it is counterieit. Yesterday it could have been passed on any ybody in town. How wise we are after we find out.

By visit to the county hospital ltis qui.e observable both from the appearance of the premises and the satisfied expression of the inmates that the institution is being most acceptably conducted. Again would the PRosPECToR, as a matter of sound economy and availability press upon the board of supervisors. the tax payers and the people, the de- sirability of obtaining more ground in connection with that institution, thus giving the willing inmates an oppor' tunity for healthful exercise and an opportunity to shield the taxpayer. This ground can be obtained in abundance and at a reasonable figure These little items of economy count up in the history of  county and we hope the pow CTS will take the matter up.

Divorce Mill
 Very Irregular

The divorce mill is not grinding as regularly AS it has during the several former terms. This terrible hyatus in the human heart created by disil- !usionment and anticipation is not so strongly in evidence. His honor has had occasion to cut the galling cords of mat-imonY in only three in- stances thus far this week.
 Tie fact Is, however, that the beavi- est crop of di'orces naturally come up during the summer term.

The appointment is a good one and

adhering to this policy, we must
confess that faith in the accuracy
and the reliability OF experts is some
what shaken from the infalliblllty
point, by the cuIpable, we may al
most say the inexcusable, blunder OF
entomologist ". D. Hunter, in an
nouncing and mapping the presence
OF the boil weeyil in the Mississippi
Delta country. When such an
nouncement Of this infection first
appeared, early in October, it was
believed to be unauthorized, for at
that time they had. by the author
lied reports, advanced no farther
north than Port Gibson, in Claiborne
county. When the statement was
made at the Greenville boil weevll
meeting, and the map shown 80
marked, it caused establishment.
For it was in the entire absence Of
any weevil appearance known to any
one in Bolivar, Washington, or
Sharkey; if not Issaquena, Still, 80
averse is this paper to raising issues
with the experts, or in any way lead
ing any one to minimize the gravity
Of the boil weevil danger, that moth

confident was erroneous.

roads to provide better passenger

roads running through Greenwood
and Leflore county are perhaps the
worst class TO be found anywhere,

unfit for use ten or fifteen years ago.
The patronage received by the rail-

Anew HANGlNGS NEEDED.

George W. Wright, a prominent
planter, was shot down and instantly
killed in Greenwood Saturday. Al
though the murdered man was total
ly unarmed the assassin gave the
usual excuse that he thought he saw
him attempting to draw a pistol. If
a few hangings resulted from these
unfounded thoughts murders would
become less common. jackson Clai-
