missed to announce the impor-

ent.

Mr.. John D. Harrison, one Of
our conservative merchants, was

Every Duncan visitor to Cliff
ton has the same verdict in re-
Z gard tc the progress of the new
smelter at Clifton. The consensus
of the opinion ofallis that Clifton
E is to be congratulated in regard
!, to the magnitude of the modern
smelter at that place.
The supper and Entertainment

Hobbs Hall next Monday night.

sites of a brilliant dance that is,
pretty girls, gallant men and
performers capable of enhancing
music. Come to the dance, all you

We have an opinion that this man,
sometime in his life, stopped in
Duncan. Now, this is why we
think that Duncan once saw this
man, or rather he saw Duncan:
In the shops Of some our popular
caterers, there can be found the
necessary materials that cause
a man to think of the sweetheart
with whom he roamed the gard
ems of love in the DAYS that are
gone forever. He thinks. after
the proper preparation, of the.
old front gate, where he plighted
his word to the girl he loved.
There come to his memory scenes
of a happy childhood, when every
day saw expressed his earnest
desire to eat everything in sight;
although biscuits on Sunday
morning enjoing his greatest at
tention.
He thinks of the days when he
for the first time, plucked enough
courage to ask for his first kiss,
He remembers the virgin blush
Of the dearest creature in the
world, as she said," | didn't
know you liked me-" He thinks
of the little home where he car
ried his first wife, where the
spring was down below, in the
valley, where after a few months
of married happiness. his waking
thought was of the old coon dog,
instead Of the wife of his besom.
Bnt, oh pshaw, why recall those
old scenes? Come to Duncan.
One of the best ways to Judge
the worth of any business is by
the length of it's existence. From
that fact we conclude that the
mercantile establishment con-
Quoted by Mr.. Campbell is a
strong one. For ten long and
prosperous years Mr.. sCampbell
has been engaged in the conner
cial life of Duncan. In his store
can be found all the things that
hungry man can possibly want.
Mr.. Campbell says that he has,
and will, handle anything once.
The people may be sure that what
they want can be found at Camp
BELLS store. Mr.. Campbell is an
old-timer in this region, being
the man who started Stafford
Arizona, where he at present
owns valuable property. In ad-
dition to this property, he con-
trolls some of the richest land in
the valley of the famous ella.
He runs a mill that produces the
kind Of -four and meal that makes
the kind of bread that mother
used to make.
The Methodist people of the
Duncan vicinity are fondly proud
OF their young pastor, Rev. Dr.
Acuff. Mr.. Acuff is a worthy
exponent of the liberal tendencies
of the protestant churches of to-
day. Mr.. Acuff impresses one
with the thoughts of man of
profound spiritual thought, COM
bined with a great love for hu-
manity. This young pastor is
not content with the training
gained by course at one of the
strongest colleges in the East,
but is further preparing himself
for his chosen work by cores
pondence course at Vanderbilt
University. His mind is set on
the highest theological training
that the best schools afford.
Duncan is glad that he tarries
with us.
1t is reported, by conservative
business men of this whole sec
ton, that Duncan is soon to en-
JOY the advantages of a new rail
way. This is not childish gossip.

community toreach the highest
degree of civilization unless that
community enjoys a liberal useof
the telephone. The telephone
has come to be recognized as one
of the necessities of civilization.
What great possibilities it
aWakes! Think of the many
vital transactions it has been
for! How many
shreWd men of business have
taken advantage of it's convent
er1ce for the transaction of pro-
fitable deals! Think of it's calls,
both sad and sweet, to the old
home that we all love so well
How many happy marriages have
been consummated through the
medium of the obliging central
girl! And that reminds us: The
force of the Duncan Telephone
Company is possessed of the polit-
eness that every one has longed
to see expressed. Mr.. Coils, the
methodical manager of the Dun
can Telephone Company is a tele.
phone man from the word ''go." "
Any defect in the service of his
company receives his immediate
attention. Mr.. Coils is a man in
whom the confidence of the Dun
can telephone users will never
be misplaced. He handles a tele-
phone that, for service the world
has no equal; this telephone is
the Chicago de Luxe. A life
time guarantee goes with every
one of these instruments. Mr..
Coils intends to greatly enlarge
the field, alreay large, of his tele-
phone activities. 1t is safe to say
that he will get the support of
every citizen in the vicinity of
Duncan. Without a doubt, he
deserves such a support.
An institution of which any
city could well be proud is The
Bank of Duncan. From it's very
inception, under the leadership of
H. M. Watson. this bank has en-
joyed an era of unparalleled pros
perity, That Mr.. Watson build
ed wisely and we'll is proven by
the continued strength of this
institution. No better memorial
to the early years of manhood
could be wished than the career of
this necessity common to every
community of any commercial
significance. For the past few
years this bank has enjoyed the
efficient management of Mr..
Lanneau. one Of the rising young
financiers of the Southwest. The
stockholders of this institution
are indeed fortunate in their sell
ection of Mr.. Lanneau as their
representative of voice in their
profitable investment. Not de-
positor can be found who is will
ing to transfer his account to an
other place of safe keeping, unless
unavoidable conditions demand
an account in a bank ef a more
central location. Duncan is fort
unate in the. possession of Mr..
Lanneau as the custodian of it's
funds.
An old adage is to the effect
that the nearset way to mans
heart is through his inner para
phernalia, to politely express
our meaning. In this connection
is we'll to state that the citizens
of Duncan can be easily reached
by any one who is willing to pay
the moderate price charged by
the proprietors of Duncan's sani-
tary meat markets. 1t is indeed
refreshing to see the pleased look
of the housewife as she surveys
the juicy steaks, roasts and
tasty meats of every Lind, sort
and condition, that are supplied
by Duncan's obliging sellers of
the tOOthSOma nroductS of Dim
Duncan Arizonian., 1913-03-12
3Sth WEEK

"A merry crowd was that
which gathered at one of Duncan's
popular meeting places last
Thursday morning. 1t was an
assemblage Of men capable of
discussing any topic that could
suggest itself to the mind of
man. Mr.. Parks entertained with
his opinion of infant baptism;
Mr.. Upton, for the edifcation
OF the crowed told them exactly
how they could trisect the trian-
gle; Mr.. Clay expressed his
thoughts concerning the origin
of prenatal influence: Mr.. Head
said he would be hanged if he
would sell his yearlings for less
than $4,000: said he knew that
was a good price for ordinary two
year-olds, but his yearlings were
as good as any mans two-year-
olds. Thus the conversation ran
ged from the heights of intellec-
tuallty, to the commonplace plea
santrles of the rest of us, who
were good listeners. Come to
| Duncan.
A certain prominent business
man ofour town has confded to the
Arizonian that his heart is sad; all
because of the fact that heart
less young man of Duncan is
succeeding in his efforts to gain
the hand of marriage of the store
mans pretty salesgirl. When
questioned, the lady whose hap
piness is at stake, refused to
committherself, but promised the
questioner that he should have
the order for the wedding cards.
We admire this evidence Of pub
lie spirit; listen, you men of Dun
can will you be as generous with
your printing.
One or our strongest business
houses is that conducted by Mr.
w. W. Wilkey. Mr.. Wilkey's
ambition is such that he is not
content to carry the ordinary
mount of stock: he is following
the idea that is better to hold in
stock every article that man can
possibly need, from baby shoes
to manure spreaders. Mr..
Wilkey has just received a COM
plete line of the most modern
farming implements. This store
is the successor of the Taylor
Mercantile, Co. whose former
manager, Mr.. Taylor set high
water mark in Duncan's COM
m ercial life
What promises to be one of
the most enjoyable social affairs
of the waning winter season is
the dance to be given at Hobbs
Hall next Monday night, in hon.
or of St. Patrick's Day. All of
Dnncan's pretty girls will be there
tocast their sweet smiles upon the
beaus of their choice.
The floormaster takes particu-
lar pains to see that the most per-
feet order is ismaintained at alldan-
ces held at this hall. But his
task in that respect is easy, for
the gallantary of the young men
of Duncan is such that every
man is upon his best behavior.
The Billingsley MecantiIe esta-
blishment has a complete stock of
the most improved farming imple
ments of every description. These
people have the fneness of
judgment, gained through years
of experience in this line, which
enables them to know exactly
the needs of the prosperous
ranchers of the Duncan section.
All honor to the commercial men
of our town, who have the en-
ergy that enables them to supply
the every need of the buyers of
their community.

Alah, a chauffeur, who returned Monday
AFTERNOON from his second trip to the
haihauIlpaS capital since its capture by
the ConstitutiOnalists. Very little in.
formation had been received at Victoria
from TampicO when Mr.. Newman left
.here, audit was known only that fight
