 Mrs. Harry Wiltse has a copy of the Ulster County (N. Y) Ga zette dated January, 1900, which gives an account of the death of George Washington, December 14th, 1199. The paper has been handed down in her family for generation to generation, and is in a remarka ble good state of preservation, with the print as clear as the day it was printed The spelling was the quaint old fashioned kind, using the 'f'' for S." It is very interesting document because of the kind of news, peculiar advertisements and general make up.-Coconino Sun.

Gatlin and Pat Patterson, two young business men fthiS town, to build, equip and maintain telephone system from .Nogales to Patagonia, thence to Sonoita and Elgin, and on towards Fair banks, where it will connect with the toll lines of Cochise county and other parts of the state. Also from Patagonia to Harshaw, up Harshaw Canyon via Mowry and on to the San Ra- fael valley. The promoters are amply equipped financially, and as Mr. Patterson has had much experience in the telephone busi- ness, there is every reason to believe the venture will be a great success. s.-Patagonian.
