have prepared themselves to meet
them.
"Chief among these needs is the
care of the person and wider ap-
probation of personal appearances
and of the toilet accessories whose
use demands. scientific application. -
Prices at the new parlors for :the

'"To the Honorable Mayor and
Council of the City of Tombstone,
Gentlemen:
Il herewith beg to advise that no
Dog Tax was collected for the city

I was the loser.

TO THE OLD PIONEERS

The earliest settlers of our town,
came here in youth to settle down.
The country then was dry and bare
with weeds and sage brush every
where. They came in youth-the
prime of life; they also brought
with them a wife. Who shared the
hardships with the men, so the
credit part is due to them. With
future dreams of a city fair. They
staked their homesteads here and
there And went to work with
pick and shovel, the rolling hills
and plains to level To make it
fit to plant the seed, to take the
place of brush and weed. With
pleasant dreams undaunted they
did toll and work from day to day,
with barley bread and pig weed
greens-the daily fare for them it
seems. Now, luxuries sweet they

that's not in it's accustomed place.
Let's give them thanks while yet
they're here for the things we hold
in life most dear. Our homes, our
friends, a city fair, for trees and
flowers everywhere. From barren
lands of brush and waste, they
made it bloom to suit their taste.
AS we grow old from year to year,
your memory to us will be dear.
A blessing great we know you've
won for the things you did, were

these trails did cost them dear. For

gone and years go fast and aches
