PIONEER ROMANCE
 OF NATURAL BRIDGE
Two Miners Found It After ES- Caping From Band of
 Apache Indians

MESA, July 16-Much has been said and written of the Natural Bridge of Arizona but there are cumarativeIy few who understand how and when it was first discovered.
 Almost forty years ago, when this county was barren waste. with only few cabins Co shelter the prospector or cowboy, Tonto Basin was looked upon as a very unsafe place for a home. but gold was discovered on East Verde and a small stamp mill was brOugh in and set up This brought more men Co the country and some stopped where the town of Pay son is now some at Pine and some taking up small ranches along the East Verde river
 About this time the Apache Indians broke out Of the reservation, coming over into the basin They followed along the rim of the MOgOllon mount ain and came down to what is known as the Tunnel road, the band that came down the East Verde killing William Meadow and his son Henry wounding another son, John.
 Near the stamp mill were David Gowan and Jack Davis The Indians got on their trail and hid in the hills. They finally returned out of their hiding place and went in search of water. Crossing Buckhead fiat they saw cottonwood trees in canyon and feeling sure they could find water went and found one of the great won ders of our country, the Natural Bridge
 They did not stay long, but a year or two later David Gowan went back and locted on the property He clear ed a piece of land put in an orchard and garden and made this his home for fifteen years. Being disposed to travel and prospect, he sent for his nephew. David Goodfellow, in England to come and take care of the bridge. GOodfellow with his wife and children came but there was nothing to en- courage anyone, no roads, school and but few settlers
 The Natural Bridge is fast becoming one of the health resorts of the west.

TIE DEUCE OF LAWS.

CT had a count made not long ago in the Library of Congress" says Ehu Root "of the number of laws that had been passed in five years ending Dec l. 1915 found that more than 62OOO laws had been passed by congress and the state legislatures in this country in that five years and found there had been reported during that five years and published in 63O volumes Of reports of the courts than 65OoO decisions of courts of last resort in this country Now not even Mr. Choate knows them all by heart How can you conduct your business and keep out of jalg
 How can any man, whether in business or not, keep out Of jail with those 62OOO laws and 65OOO court de cisons his trail reinforced by the hundreds of thou
 sands of laws and decisions of Perhaps the reason is the very fact hnted by Mir Root-hat no human being possibly keep track of them
 Anybody would think that the legal profession in sheer despair at trying to keep up with legislation court decisions would curb the output limiting the scope of legislation to essential things and reforming out semi. legislative judicial system.

at State Fair in Macon.

at State Fair in Macon.
DR.. J. G. Dean has been declared
the best oat raiser in Georgia by the
State Fair judges at Macon.
His oat exhibit was awarded the
first prize of $25 for the largest yield
and second prize for quality.
DR.. Dean produced 1875 bushels of
oats to one acre of measured land,
and his average yield for his entire
crop of about 35 acres was about rs
bushels per acre. The oats were of
the Fulghum variety.
DR.. Dean has sold his entire crop
of oats for seed at fancy prices.
DR.. Dean is perhaps the first Ter
rell county farmer to win a prize
at the state fair, not because Terrell
farmers are not the best, but be-
cause there has been so little interest
in exhibiting Terrell county products
at the state fair.
DR.. Deans friends are congratu-
lating him on his success, and it is
hoped it will serve to encourage 9TH
er farmers to exhibit the results OF
their labors.

and Observe Occasion.
Thursday, November IS, has been
set aside as Georgia Products Day.
Dawson and Terrell county have al
ways come to the front on previous
Georgia Products Days, and it is to
be expected that some plans will be
adopted whereby this city will be in
the ranks of those patriotic towns
where the day is given over to cele-
bration of Georgia products. Last
year a splendid banquet was served
in this city on this date. The BAN
quet was made up entirely of Geor-
gia products. This year is not ex-
pected to prove an exception.
Persons who have watched paw-
son in past years are certain that this
city can never take its place among
those found wanting. Georgia Prod
ucts Day is time for all good cities
to come to the aid of their mother
state.
Every citizen of the town should
begin now to see to it that some
plans are adopted looking toward a
fine Georgia products dinner in Daw-
son on November IS. The time is
ripe for such celebration, and Daw-
son is expected to have a fine enter
