Mohave County miner., 1908-01-25

Al Barbour, one of the old timers of this part of the Pacific coast, was ar rested at Chloride last Thursday by a United States officer on a charge of selling whiskey to Indians. On the train, this side of Chloride Barbour took from hand bag small piece of cyanide of potassium and swallowed it, dying in about thirty minutes. Bar. bour was about seventy-one years of age at the time of his death, hay ng spent more than fifty years on the Pa cific coast. He was too old to work, and being broke, it is thought that he took to selling whiskey to Indians to eke out an existence. His remains were taken in charge by the under- taker at Kingman and the following day an inquest was held, the jury finding verdict of suicide.
 This week the committee on terri tories favorably reported to congress the bill for the Mohave county court house and jail, carrying with it an ap- propriation of 3O,OOOs. The act will become a law within the next few weeks and it is to be hoped that the supervisors will at once begin work on the building. At this time more work can be obtained for the same outlay of cash than it could year ago. Lum- Der is considerably cheaper and labor can be had for less money than even a few months ago. But good work must not be subordinated to cheap labor or material.
 J. w. Mercy, of Beech Creek, Pa., was Kingman visitor this week, go- ing down to Cedar yesterday evening, where he will visit with his daughter, Mrs. T. J. Purdy, for month or two.

BILE with the class, and today the memory
of years of study, communion and service
together. as class. is a precious legacy
to scholars and teacher.
Second. Secure the cooperation of
parents or guardian. This is as essential
in Sunday school work as 1t is In the work
of the day school.
My own rule is to write the names of
the scholars. with name and address of
parents or guardians. in a small blank
book (Which Is kept sacred to that pur-
pose). From time to time I jot down
items of interest which will refresh or aid
my memory, such as date Of calls, date of
childs birthday, the school the child at
tends. With name and address Of the
teacher, suggestions for special requests
in prayer. etc, etc. AS soul-winner. the
teacher will find such a record invaluable.
and the knowledge gained will aid mate

Third Cultivate esprit de corps Set
