The Governor Presents Flag

We entrust this flag to your

and bid you Godspeed and hope
you may safely return with victory
perched upon its folds"
Thus spoke Governor Thos. E.
Campbell to the men of the First
Arizona Infantry Tuesday at Naco.
1t was red-letter day for the reg
iment. Governor Campbell brought
a beautiful state flag from Phoenix
presented by the local organization
of the Daughters of the American
revolution The flag was used when
the battle ship Arizona was chris
tened, and on several other occa-
sions. It is now the property of
the First Arizona Infantry and will
be carried to France.
In a most i'm pressive speech Gov
ernor Campbell in the presence of
the regiment and a large audience
of civilians, presented the flag. He
admonished the men to remember
the cause they are fighting for and
to keep up the traditions of west
ern men OH the battle line. In bid
ding the men goodbye the COVER
nor's voice almost broke, and the
entire audience bowed their heads.
Previous to the presentation the
governor reviewed the regiment in

occasions Naco ever had.

A Surprise Wedding
Anniversary
A Box Lunch Party Given
Rev. and Mrs. ]. E. Ferris

Monday was the 21st wedding
anniversary of Rev. J. f. Ferris,
pastor of the Methodist Church,
and his estimab1e wife, and their
friends decided to give them lit
tie surprise party to celebrate the
event. Early in the evening, just
before the guests were to assemble
ruse was effected to get them
temporarily away from home
Mr.. and Mrs. Rucker took them
for an automobile ride, during
which time the guests assembled.
While the auto party were away
about fifty ladies and gentlemen,
each carrying present and box
lunch, gathered at the Ferris home
and eagerly awaited their return.
which was not very long delayed.
Never suspecting, Mr.. and Mrs.
Ferris entered the house, where
they found the assembled friends
awaiting them. They were COM
p1ete1y surprised. So quiet had
the affair been kept that they never
had a suspicion of it.
While the host and hostess were
examining their presents the box
lunches carried by the guests were
removed to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. w. Bard, next door, and
spread upon a large dining table,
which fairly groaned under their
weight. Everything in the way of
good things to eat was contained
in the boxes, and in the greatest
profusion - fried chicken, sand
wiches of all kinds, home baked
bread, cakes of various kinds, pies
and pastry, pickles and other good
things too numerous to mention.
To make the feast complete Mrs.
Bard made a plentiful supply of
excellent coffee, which was served
to the guests.
After the feast all gathered in
the reception hall, played games
and had a most enjoyable evening.
