A. w. Edwards, past-president ana ardent worker for the past twelve years for the prestige and up-build- ing of the famed Yavapai Club, re- ceived a fitting ovation last night in the dining hall of the Club, on the eve of his departure for Cali fornia, where he will engage in business.
 The dinner evidently was a sur prise to MT. Edwards, who seemed overcome as he walked in with Pre- sident Doyle and found fifty of his friends assembled in his honor. The presentation of a handsome gold timepiece, at the close of the func- ton gave further proof that the en- tertainment was carried out with rare strategy.
 During the repast the rough neck choir rendered sedate and timely numbers, not forgetting to refer to the fact that the Prescott Y. NJ. C. A. membership was well . represented among those present. Supervisor Harry Heap was ring master for the "rough-necks" and their soulful anthems added relish to the quality of the viands which reflected great credit upon the chefs realm. Every man present was "host" except the gentleman feted. Reso- 1utions of regret were read by Pre- sident Doyle. They are as follows:
 Whereas, Mir. A. w. Edwards, charter member of this organization, and for nine years a member of its Board of Directors, and who served as its President, and has at all times been one of its most efficient and re- liable members and supporters, IS about to leave Arizona and has tend cred his resignation as a Director
 Therefore, be it resolved, That we express our sincere thanks therefor, along with our deep regret that circumstances conspire to remove him from an association which has always been happy and highly use ful.
 While we indulge this natural re- gret, we all feel assured that the characteristics which have endeared MT. Edwards to us all will enable him to fill the same niche in his rnew environment.
 The secretary is requested to place this Resolution in full upon the re- cords of the Yavapai Club and to send a copy of the same to MT. Edwards.
 w. H. DOYLE. President. Attest:
 GEO. D. MORRIS, Secretary.
 Prescott, January l4th., 1913.
 Every gentleman save one about this board this evening is host and that one the honored guest" added MT. Doyle This gathering is in truth a spontaneous expression of regret by the members of the Yav- apai Club here assembled, at the loss of one, who, for the past twelve years, has labored unselfishly for the advancement of this Club and who have been a potent factor in main taining the spirit of good fellowship that pervades 1t.
 "A gentleman who has fitted into every phase of the club life, who will be missed in the ball room, about the banquet board, before the open hearth and particularly in The Stope We will miss you, your daily greet ings, your wit and repartee; we will miss the charm of rersonal contact with a kindred spirit.
 q realize that your leaving ere as1s a void in the social and com mercial life of this city as well as that of the Club, but I leave to others who have had the pleasure of a longer and more intimate acquain- tance with this side of your life, the sweet sorrow of saying au revoir.
 "Mr Edwards, your friends wish for you as you journey through life, a brimming measure of health, hap piness and prosperity and when I say I trust that the fondest hopes of your fondest friends may be req 
 every member of the Yavapai Club.
 Edwards has been associated in business in Prescott for many years, with Frank M. Murphy, who "near- ly broke down when he added his good wishes. Dixon Eager
