tiers TO Committee

That the guests OF the Wsrreu dis
trict at the Fourth of July entertain
inont were pleased with the enter
temment offered them, and that she
reputation of Cochise county, esPec-
tally this section. for hospitality has
been well upheld is manifested by
the letters which are being received
by the chairman of the entertainment
committee.
During and since the Fourth of
July celebration there were and have
been heard from the residents of the
district expressions of general salts
faction on the manner in which the
various committees carried out their
parts of the program and the general
success of the celebration, it being
frequently said that the affair OF 1912
takes premier rank among all that
have been held. Three years ago
there was more money spent. more
elaborate preparations were made,
and Douglas was supposed TO join
in the participation, but that occasion
was married by heavy rains, while
perfect weather this year aided the
committees in making the celebra-
ton that was held this year one TO
be remembered, and to set a mark
for similar occasions in the future.

Ii is pleasant TO know that visitors
as well as hosts enjoyed the occa-
sion, and the letters that z. NJ Buck

which they are couched. Governor

Phoenix:
