ANOTHER OLD TIMER.
William Keating Passes Away Just When
 he was tO Realize a Stake.

Early last Sunday morning the many old time friends of William J. Keating were shocked to learn that he had crossed the divide meyer to return again. Deceased was seventy three years of age and came to the Clifton-Morenci district sixtccu-ye2rs ago. He was a prospector and min ing man and for many years has been working some of the best mining claims in this district. He was a native of England. but has resided in the United States the greatest part of life. He was good old fellow and though his visits to Clifton were few his friends here numbered into the hundreds.
 He came down from his camp the first part of last week to close an im- portant mining deal whereby he was to receive s9O,OOO for his property. and after getting his business in ex- cellent shape he was taken very sud- denly with a stroke of paralysis on Friday afternoon. Though he was in critical condition his friends did not think that death was so near. He was taken to the hospital and seemed to be on the road to recovery, but on Saturday night his condition grew worse.
 He was a hard worker and it is indeed sad that he was called away just at the time when it would have been possible for him to enjoy life. It is understood that he has a daughter in England, who is the only their to the estate.
 The funeral occurred Monday after noon and the remains were laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery up Wards canyon.

THE CITIZENS TICKET.
Number of Names Nominated and Good
 Ticket Selected.

At the public mass meeting held at Library hall last Saturday night there was considerable interest mani fested by quite a large number of Clifton people with the result that another ticket for town officers was named and placed in the field. The meeting was not called until about 8;30 and after several nominations Dan Lynch was chosen as chairman and Charley Wright as secretary.
 After the chair declared nomina. tions in order for mayor and before any nominations were made Dell M. Potter, precinct chairman of the re- publican party interrupted the meet ing long enough to make the announce ment that a straight republican ticket would be place in the field to oppose the democratic ticket, and after reading list of eight names, from which the ticket would be selected he retired and left the meet ing. The meeting then proceeded with business and the names of Archie Morrison and George Fraser were nominated for mayor, MT. Morrison being the choice.
 Then came nominations for alder men and after considerable discussion the following names were offered: H Henry Hill, Tom Sidebotham, George Hall, J. A. McWilliams, c. P. Dunn, Sa ID Abraham, Thos. Nelson, Dick Franz and J. Backstein. It had been previously decided upon vote that each person present should vote for four men and the four candidates re- ceiving the highest number of votes should be the nominees. Tom Side botham and c. P. Dunn received the highest number of votes and Henry Hill, Dick Franz and J. A. McWilliams were tied. The tie was then decided by vote on the three names, which resulted in the election of Hill and Franz, McWilliams losing by one vote.
 Before adjournment was taken the following executive committee was L. Kearney, George Hall, Jim Kilsby, F. o. Bacon and Tom Sidebotham.

A Close Call.

Early last Sunday morning while hauling a trunk from the Clifton depot to North Clifton, Judge George Cosper, of Duncan, and Tom Will jams narrowly escaped an accident that might have been fatal for both of them. Just as they were crossing the railroad track with a heavy wagon the ore train approached and as there is usually considerable noise they did not hear it. The engineer saw the liklihood of an accident and but for the fact that he mad the train we'll under control Mir Cosper would most likely have been killed.
 The horses cleared the track but the cars struck the wagon. Tom jumped, while Mr. Cosper staid with the wagon. After backing down a few feet the train was stopped and MT. C0sper was unhurt, while Tom received a fractured arm.

Consta ble John D. Patty returned last Thursday from trip to the re- form school at Benson, where he took the two Mexican boys, Antonio Lopes and Simon Flores, who were implicated in the robbery last year of one of the stores on Chase creek. Owing to the fact that this district had no district judge at the time it was necessary for MT. Patty to take these boys before Judge Doan at Tombstone tor commitment upon the recommendation of Judge Moder of the Clifton precinct.
 In former years North Clifton was the best looking part of Clifton, but in recent years floods have destroyed appearances to some extent. Many of the shade trees have disappeared and the yards are not being taken care of as formerly. Property owners should plant new trees and grass and bring that section to the high standard which it deserves. It will 1 be a long time until the next flood and then again we may never have another big one. Some of the homes | in that section are being well kept and if others would exercise the same
 interest that part of Clifton would be as attractive as eyer.

coined with open arms.
The Christian Church is not engag-
ed in the business of giving men what
they want, but of giving them what
they need. The twentieth century
is vocal with clamorous appeals for
many things. In their social unrest
men say they want a new order of
politics. a new kind of economics, a
new kind of social relationship. This
is their expressed desire, but their
real need is for more Of the brotherly
and unselfish spirit of Jesus in their
hearts.
The New Patriotism.
Down by the river bank of Philippi
Paul found a woman merchant. a de-
vout prose1yte. It may nave seemed
a bit Of irony to him that his first con-
vert in Europe should not be a Europ-
can, but an ASiatic. Lydia was q sell

ever. women were the best friends of
God. The first converts and final de-
tenders of a faith are usually

and with hospitality, which charac-
terizes simple Christian faith she well

So began the career Of Christianity in
Europe. With that bit Of o~utreaching
cI1uSdNOI OIl Tic pdll VI Idul VIC see
prefgured the history Of Christendom.
For the Christian nations are pioneer
nations. Stagnation besets pagan
peoples. The ships that sail all seas
mostly fly Christian f1ags,and the COM
merce Of the world is done almost ex-
clusively by Christian nations, or by
nations that have Lately come under
the impulse of Christian sentiment.
Now because the Gospel was SO early
born inEurOpe, Europe and her child
America, are bearing the Gospel
back TO Asia.
The new patriotism is milder than
the older jingoism. It is saner, but
it is stronger. No longer do we hear
the cry My country, right or wrong
but, from all quarters, the conception
of our nations welfare for the worlds
sake is echoing. It is literally true
to-day that over the flags of Christian
nations. at the mast heads Of their
ships. as we'll as in the realm Of met
aphor, there flies the flag Of the Gross.
The best patriotism is that which
gives its best possession for the vel
