Visitors.
 Clifton is preparing to entertain sev- eral thousand visitors on next Mon- day, Labor Day, and all arrangements have been completed by the committee in charge. The working men have given their aid to the committees and have done everything in their power to make the celebration the biggest and best that has ever been staged in this section of the state. Every resource has been exhausted in devis- ing new and novel entertainment for the guests and the day promises to be one to be long remembered.
 The grand parade in the morning at 10 o'clock will start the activities of the day and this feature alone will be worth coming many miles to see Gorgeously decorated autos will be in line and magnificent floats will add to the attractiveness of the pageant, and prizes are to be offered for the best decorated cars and the most novel floats. The different crafts will march in their sections in the parade and the members will be attired in their various catchy uniforms, some of which will be unique in their get-up. The parade will traverse the princi- pal streets of the town and pass be- fore the reviewing stand at the Rear don Hotel, continuing to the ball park where it will disband and the sports of the day will take place.
 Governor Hunt will deliver the prin- cipal speech of the day and other speakers will be Farrell Cordero, of Tucson, A A. Worsfey, of Tucson, John L. Donnelly, of Miami, and Sen or Moreno, of Morenci. Special trains will be run during the day to bring the crowds from outside points.
