Lordsburg's now' paper, the
Western Liberal, with Messrs
Dye and Kidrick at the helm, will
make its ' appearance the latter
part of this week. It is said that

ment, typographically and other
wise, over its predecessor, and we
shall gladly welcome it to our
table.
Francisco Norte, a well-known
Mexican citizen of Clifton, was
married Monday night last to
Miss Jesusita Almeda, a most at
tractive and estimable lady, by
Rev. Father Sheldorf. The cere
mony was witnessed by a large
number of our best citizens, and
was followed by an enjoyable
dance. Many friends wish the
couple a happy futnre.
Geor-ie Heggie, manager of the
company's store at the Metcalf,
departed Monday morning last
for a three-month's trip to Scot
1 ind. A good sized delegation
came down from the niioes to see
him off, and he departed not only
with their - best wishes, but those
of a host of Clifton friends. It is
rumored that when Mr. Heggie
returns he will not be alone.
Joe Tanner, the popular boarding-house
keeper at the Long
fellow, contemplates a departure
about the first of next month for
ITew Orleans to visit his aged
mother, whom ho has not 6een
for thirteen years. Joe will dis
pose of his place of business be
fore leaving, but has no idea of
remaining East permanently. He
has been a resident ' of the "wild
West" too long to remain con
tented for any length of time in
the effete East
Tomas Rico, a sleight-of-hand
porformer who gave an exhibition
here recently, attended a Mexican
bailie at Rarnura's Monday night
last, and, inflated with a high
opinion of himself, thought that
he was justified in stepping out
I Je the door and shooting off his
little bulldog. Constable Smith,
howeveiv doesn't allow that pas
time within tliH town limits, and
consequently gathered Tomas in
and locked him up. ' ITpon his ap
pearance before Justice Blank
yesterday mornicg he was lined
$20 or 20 days. He rustled wound
and got the cash, but the chances
are that Don Senor Rico will stop
to think beforo he again shoots
off his little gun
It is understood that during his
visit hero Rev. Father Sheldorf
has broached to his followers in
Clifton and vicinity the idea of
establishing a church for the pur
pose of holding regular services.
The matter met with a ready re
sponse and a considerable amount
of money was subscribed for the
purpose, Father Sheldorf himself
contributing 30 toward the pur
pose. " Is is proposed to buy tho
Clark building at North Clifton
near the bridg-j. The matter has
not been settled yet, however, and
its success will depend altogether
upon the liberality with which the
proposition is met by our Catholic
citizens.

ceived returns the past week from
their sample shipment of gold ore.
Mr. Muir reports that the results
are better than expected and feels
jubilant They will now hasten
matters and very shortly make a

working capital for the develop
ment of their properties at Bo
nanza camp.

repairer, is visiting Clifton. Mr.

to have yon sit by while he puts
your timepiece in order and at
the same time explain the modus
operandi. ' ' " ------ ----- .
Charles Everest- is building np
a nice trade at the Coronado chop
house. Charley is a first-class
caterer, and a reading of his ad.
in this issue will give one an idea
of the good things which he pro
poses to dish up at his placo, and
it is needless to say that they will
be cooked and served in tho most
palatable style.
A. M. Feldnian, the traveling
photographer of Tucson, who has
beeu located at North Clifton for
the past few weeks, will remain
but a few days longer; and those
contemplating having pictures
taken should take advantage of tho
short time remaining. Mr. Feld
man will take either a photograph
or tintype.
Judge P. M. Thurmond pub
lishes his card in this issue. Mr.
Thurmond is well known in the
county as a painstaking and con
scientious lawyer and has located
at Clifton because of an. abiding
faith in its future. All business
intrusted to him will receive care
ful and prompt attention.
Messrs. Strang and Reardon are
still dtivelopiug their Paragon
claim near Clifton. They are at
present down something over 40
feet and are about to start a drift
They have not yet struck a body
of ore, but indications point favor

The new firm of H. A. Morgan
& Co. comprising H. A. Morgan
and P. J. Bolan, has been dis
solved by mutual consent, H A.
Morgan retiring.
Couuty Trehsnrer Poraeroy's
residence has been completed.
His family, consisting of Mrs.
Pomeroy and Charlie. Miss Jessie
being absent attending school at
Silver City, came over from Bowie
station Tuesday and are now oc
cupying their now and corafort-
ablo home. What pleasure Mr.
Pomeroy will loso by not having
the excellent water of Bowie sta
tion to drink ho can in iko up by
eating the fresh productions of
this fertilo valley. We are grow
ing slowly but surely in this val
ley; not a day passes that does
not add to our population either
by immigration or n-itural causes.
Quite a number of Cliftonites
were visiting here during the
week Messrs. Y S. and F. C.
Barnum, Goodwin, Patterson and
Hovey. Mr. Hovey was accom
panied by his wife and her sister.
They all seemed to enjoy the
change of fare, which is nothing
surprising. From rawhide beef
steaks and oleomargarine,
the usual fare of the unfortunate
Clif touite, to spring chicken, fre.sh
eggs and rauch butter is a change
so great as to tickle the palate of
an Apache, much less that of
thoroughbred 'Americans, and it
was with reluctance the party re
turned home Saturday, providing
themselves, however, with a small
supply of Gila valley delicacies.
An inquiry into the condition of
the estate of Leonard Smith, bet
ter known as Lon Smith, formerly
of Qliftorr; occupied the attention
of tho Probato Court the greater
portion of the week. The exami
nation, conducted by P. J. Bolan
for .the administrator and A.M.
Patlerson for the possessors of
tho . property in dispute, was ex
haustive and conclusive. From it
it would appear that tho estate of
Lon Smith has an interest in the
saloon building known as the Tip
lop in Clifton, but how much of
an interest will probably have to
bo decided by tho courts.
The construction of the county
hospital, under tLo snperintend
ency of Contractor McCarty, is
progressing fairly well and will
no doubt bo ready for occupancy
by Jauuary 1, 1SS8.
County Recorder and Deputy
Clerk of tho District Court Pedro
Michelena, took his departure Fri
day for Tombstone to attend the
District Court, which convenes
thero to morrow. At our last term
of Court Judge Barnes noticed
how smoothly and expeditiously
Mr. Michelena, deputy clerk, per
formed his duties, complimented
him thereon aud extended him an
invitation to attend this term of
court at Tombstone, ns many im
portant cases are to bo tried, and
to a-iist by his ability Hnd experi
ence tho clerk there, who is some
what inexperienced. We feel
proud of Pedro and flattered with
the compliment that has been
paid him, and know that he will
uphold the dignity of old Graham
in the city of the dolefnl name.
The Hon. Geo. H. Stevens re
turned homo yesterday, looking
hale aud hearty. Tho dirty slurs
of the Tucson Star, in connection
with the recent outbreak at the
penitentiary, don't seem to effect
him. Steve knows he has the
greater portion of Gaham county
to back him and can therefore af
ford to despise the attacks of such
vascillating penny-a-liners as Pin
head Huges. Gila.

The western Settler' Chosen ie
elflc. With every advance of emigration
into the far West, a new demand is
created for llostctter's Stomach Bit
ters. Newly peopled regions are fre
quently less salubrious than older
settled localities, on account of the
miasma which rises from recently
cleared land, particularly along the
bunks of rivers that aro subject to
freshets. The agricultural or mining
emigrant soon learns, when he does
not already know, that tho Bitters
afford the only sure protection against
malaria, and those disorders of the
stomach, liver and bowels, to which
climate changes, exposure, and un
accustomed or unhealthy water or
diet subject him. Consequently, he
places an estimate upon this great
household specific and preventive
commensurate with its Intrinsic mer
its, and is careful to keep on hand a
restorative and promoter of health so
implicitly to bo relief upon in time
of need.
