Mitchell Family

Two theories regarding the deriva-
ton of the name Mitchell have their
advocates. 1t is from the Anglo-Sax-
on word myceI or mickle, meaning
great, or from Michael, meaning
Gods power" Michael has always
been a popular name, particularly in
its French form Michel. Mytchell is
an ancient photography, this with
Mitchell, is perhaps the only varia-
ton
Searching family records, some cen
tyries ago, we find the curious name
Elected Mitchell of Heathfeld," a
name in the same class as Faint
Not" Fight -the-Good-Fi ght-of-Faith,"
and the-Scriptures," all these
being Christian names bestowed upon
children by parents of a peculiar bias
of mind. Elected" by comparison, is
fairly attractive.
The family is rich in authors and
men of science; it also has its states
men, its solemn representatives of the
law, its dignitaries of the church, and
its gallant soldiers.
The Pennsylvania family Of Mitch
ellis trace back to Yorkshire. Eng
land, and to the Mitchells who fist
made a home in Bermuda, notably
William and wife Elizabeth, whose
descendants settled in Philadelphia,
and also in Baltimore George Mitch
ell of York county, Pa, was born in
Scotland, 1884
We find the Mitchells in Roanoke
county. Va, and related by marriage
10 the family of Col. Zachary Lewis,
whose father was a messmate of
Washington's in the war with the
French. This branch of the Mitchells
has descendants in many southern
states. The Thomas and Graham
families are also allied by marriage.
The last named family is that of gov
ernor of North Carolina, William Ora
ham.
While discussing relationship, 1t
may be mentioned that the Mitchells
Of Connecticut, claim kin with Rebec-
ca Motto of revolutionary fame, with
Gov. Saltonstall, and Gov. Dudley of
Massachusetts; also with the Gardin-
ers, of Gardeners island.
Matthew Mitchell. with wife and
children, was a passenger on the
James, 1885. Four years later, he
was town clerk of Wethersfield. This
was the year that the men of Hart
lord, Wethersfeld and Windsor, met
at Hartford, and drew up the first
written American constitution, or
form of government made, by the
people for the people" Matthew was
representative at court from Say
brook; he took part in the Pequot
war; and in 1913, removed to Hemp

mother puts her mind each season to

but these go to making Mile. Petite's
bonnets it would seem.
We have fallen into the way of
elaborate hats for small maidens, but
we still observe, or try to observe,
something of that simplicity which is
part of the charm Of childhood. Our
bonnets for near-babies are confined
largely to muslin, ribbon, soft straw
and tiny blooms.
Hats for small girls AFFORD all the
variety that could be asked in the
way of "a summer crown for little Sue
or May. The one pictured, with
wreathings of closely massed rose
buds, has full shirred crown of pink
chiffon, from which falls softly over
the curls of the little maiden a ruff1e of

model that can be quickly and cheaply
copied.

children, black is employed with pref
ty, though bizarre results. One shape
that bears the name of a Paris firm is
close fitting, blue straw, of pale
shade, supple enough to be plated at
the lower edge. A band of black vel
vet marks the line of junction of crown
and brim, and on one side forms a
bow with loops and ends.

her rebellious little body.
She had been fool to go there. of

her own common sense with the keen

known. To be refused admittance to

lay dying because she could not give
an affirmative answer to the atten-

enough of itself, but to come face TO
face with Chalmers's mother and Al
line Bester, about to enter where she
had been denied, and to be met by a
naughty stare of surprise from each,
made her young blood boil
AS a matter of fact they were ev-

Chalmers knew that far better than
any spoken word or circlet of gold
could signify, but no formal engage
ment existed between them. and she
could not be the first to proclaim their
love-
They told her at the hospital that If

And within a week the young fullback
was on the rapid road to recovery

charged from the hospital Sylvia, her

If there is anything that makes the

who has not enjoyed the noble privi-
lege of having children at all, long for
a girl of her own it is the sight of the
ducky bonnets wherewith they crown
small girls nowadays, making them
look like regular French dolls.
AS a matter of record, the French
have always put deliberately decorative
hats on the heads of little girl tod
dlers, letting the golden locks or ebon,

Dear Little Girl-Why did you run
away without one word of farewell
Is it possible that, after everything,
l feel toward you? Have l been mis-
taken in assuming that you felt the
same?

that frightful accident was of you;

en- to Wildmere. only to find you thou

word or line of explanation!

so cut up about the accident that |
have concluded to retire from the
gridiron for the present. Thus you
see, everything considered, return to

soph. Will you not drop me line
from the far off orient that life may
seem something less than a blank,
dear, and the world nabitable place
instead of one vast, aching wilderness?
LAS always,

Sylvia read the letter several times
with variety of emotions. Then she
crumpled it and tossed it into the
trash basket Afterward, she went
over to her writing desk and penned
a cloudy polite little note in reply
that effectually shut off any possible
excuse for further correspondence.
When the letter was sealed, the little
resolute line of her lips relaxed into
quivering and she broke into storm
of tears.
Early in the following autumn the
Marburys returned to America.
1t was on a glorious November
morning that Sylvia came In, flushed,
from a downtown expedition, and hur-
ried straight to the little white sitting

fashionable New York hotel

Buttons on Summer Frocks.

When buttons are used as trimming
on summer frocks, instead of sewing
them, tiny eyelets should be- worked
and the shank of the button pushed
through and caught on the wrong side
with patent fasteners or rings.
Be sure to remove these buttons be-
fore the frock is sent downstairs to
the laundry. otherwise they may not
all return Not only is this method
better for the button and prevents
chipping and yellowing from hot suds,
but it simplifies ironing.

For Travelling.

Large sewing cases for travellers are
to be had in abundance, but have you
seen the tiny affairs put up in boxes
about the size and shape of round
stick of shaving soap?
These contain tiny spool of white
and black silk, small pair of scis-
sors, a silver thimble, and tiny in
ner box filed with needles. The en-
tire case can easily be slipped in a
handbag and kept there for emer-
gencies.

James v. Parks For Sheriff.
Duncan Arizona)

In another column we are authorized
to announce the candidacy of Ex
sheriff James V. Parks for the Demo-
cratic nomination to that Office in the
new County of Greenlee subject to
the will of the Democratic voters as
expressed at the Primary of the sixth
of September next.
Mr.. Parks is too well known to the
voters of Greenlee County to admit
of any Introduction by US. He has
served the County of Graham as
Sheriff two terms; in the discharge of
his official duties he bears the re-
putation of having made one of the
best Sheriffs Graham County ever
had; his home is in Duncan and he is
one of the extensive cattle growers
of this section of Arizona and Ne7
Mexico. He is also vice-president of
the Bank of Duncan and interested
in many other and financial enter
prises in and around his home town.
During his term as Sheriff of Gra-
ham County he was called upon to
handle the labor troubles at Morenci
which was SO successfully handled
that the heads of the Company pre-
sented him with a gold watch as re
ward for his heroic management.
"Jim" Parks is man who is true
to a friend but seldom forgets an
enemy. AS sheriff of Greenlee his
ability would never be questioned.
He has many loyal friends who have
insisted upon his entering this race
His claims to the office, Mr.. Voter,
are in your hands for just consider
alton: you owe this consideration to
him, yourself. Greenlee County and
the Democratic party.

Arizona Honey Brings Biz Price.

The Arizona Honey association, of
which B. S. Frizzee of Tempe is the
secretary, has disposed of its entire
crop of honey for 1910 The supply,
with the exception of few cars, was
purchased for the Southern California
Honey company by their representa-
tive, NJ. r. Ellis, who has been in the
valley for several weeks.
The harvest of the crop will be
made about August l. at which time
it is likely shipments will be made.
The average price paid for the crop
was 6 cents, the best figure ever paid
for the Arizona product In the har-
vest there is some mesquite, but the
bulk is of the alfalfa variety. 1t is
estimated by the growers that this
years harvest is about half Il crop.
To all, the shipments. will amount
to in the neighborhood of twenty
cars. Each car WI carry on an
average 250 cases ana each case con-
taius two fve-gallon cans. The first
year of the association in this valley
the harvest amounted to four cars
and were sold to an eastern buyer.
NJ r. Ellis, who represents the
California house, is the son of Gus
Ellis, who formely made Phoenix his
home and will in all reliability make
regular visits to Phoenix during the
honey harvest season in future years.

English for Sheriff.
Duncan Arizonan.)

In another column will be found the
announcement of [. B. English of
Clifton for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Sheriff of Greenlee County.
MIR. English comes to the Democratic
voters asking their support of party
man, true and Democrat, he has al
ways been a worker for Democracy
and a supporter of Democratic
nominees. He has never asked the
party any favors but has been content
to help fight the battles of the party
and its nominees. However, his party
has seen fit to send him as delegate
to the party's conventions and he has
never been known to betray the con-
fidence of his frie uds or his party.
Mr.. English is no stranger to Green
lee County voters because he has lived
here for many years, some twenty
years, and knows nearly every man
and can call him by name. Several
years ago he lived in Duncan and
worked on some of the cow ranches
around here. For some years now be
has been a citizen of Clifton where he
is engaged in business for himself and
has been more then successful.
He is a 'Jiner," belonging to nearly
every Faternal order in Clifton and
Morenci. 1t was through the earnest
solicitation of his many friends that
he has entered this race, they beleiY-
ing him to be sure winner. Mr..
English is asking the.support of Dem
ocrats from merit and fitness to fill
the Office of Sheriff: he enters the
race with no pledges but to do his
official duty without fear or favor.
It is-the duty of every voter to con-
slider the special qualifications of
every candidate for whom he votes:
it is the duty of every Democrat
voter to consider the party qualii-
cations of every candidate of his
party. Voter, it is up to you TO APP
point yourself a committee of one to
investigate the merits and demerits
of the various candidates. Aud, Mr..
Democrat, it is up to you to investi
gate every man who asks the support
of the Democratic party in the ap-
preaching Primary.

publican party has been to-Phoenix
and gone, and while his health was
good, his department was contempt
able. So think many of the rank and
file. Every place you turn you can
hear remarks about the break Cam
erOn made. As result of his action,
the party which had been made up to
go to Douglas dwindled to three from
ten-Governor Sloan, r. a. Kirk and
Cameron being the trio that made the
start.
Cameron arrived III the moruiu g
without advance notice to any of the
Phoenix reps. except G. H Akers,
and that individual at once arranged
to monopolize the limelight. He
stuck like a leech to the delegate, so
it is said, and not only had private
lunch at the lunch hour, but had ar
ranged an elaborate dinner for the
evening, but this finally fell through,
Cameron taking a tumble to what was
being done to him
1t was evident from the actions of
Cameron that he had not been kept
posted regarding the mixup last April!
and May when Akers bade good bye
to the republican party and started d
party of his own in the municipal
council race, with the result a miser-
able defeat. But such republicans as

more than surprised to see ''Our
Rail- phi" make the blunder.
1t is said that Cameron explained
his action by saying that his plan was
to make good with Akers on this trip
and upon his return trip to give his
time and attention to Adams and
Kibbey, thus doing the turn of being
all things to all men. The explana-
tiOn was well received by few of his
less important admirers, but the
leaders were diSgusted with his
blunder.

Should Meet and Adopt Platform


Ben r. Clark, one of the best
known democrats of Arizona, has
come forward with the suggestion
that the party in Arizona hold a con-
vention i'll the near future, and put
forth its platform of principles. He
declares that by this means the
democrats will all appear on a uni
form platform. Clark sets out his
idea of the situation in the following
letter from Solomonville;
John o. Dunbar,
Dear Sir:-I am very much in
clined to the opinion that terri
torial convention should be called
and held, in the near future, for the
purpose of adopting and making pub
lie democratic platform upon which
our candidates are to make the race
for delegate to the constitutional
convention
''If This is not done We are liable
to have to face the very embarrass-
ing condition Of having our candi-
dates in one county advocating one
thing, while our candidates in an
other county are making the race on
an issue entirely different.
Framing a state constitution is a
new thing for the people of Arizona,
and unless we are able to show to the
people the merits of the things for
which we stand, am afraid party
lines and past party affiliations will
be discarded and the candidates most
capable of making himself a good
fellow will receive 4 majority of the
votes cast regardless of politics or
anything els
"Talk this over with the democrats
of you, county, and the proposition
meets the approval of yourself and
those with whom you talk, make the
move looking to he-calling of this
convention.
"With best regards,
"BEN r. CLARK.
