Notice of Ditch Meeting 1 Notice is hereby given that the Stockholders of the Duncan Can al Extension Company will hold the annual meeting at the office of the Secretary (at the Arizon ian office) next Tuesday, March 18th, at 1:00 P. M., for the pur pose of electing officers for the present year and the of such other business as may properly come before said meetinig. By order of the Board of Direc tors; this the 3rd day of March 1913. J. R. FOWLER R. L. HERRELL L. F. VAUGHN Some of Duncan’s Impor tant Institutions It is impossible for any community to reach the highest degree of civilization unless that community enjoys a liberal useof the telephone. The telephone has come to be recognized as one of the necessities of civilization. What great possibilities it awakes! Think of the many vital transactions it has been sponsor for! How many shrewd men of business have taken advantage of its conveni ence forth* 1 transaction of pro fitable deals! Think of its calls, both sad and sweet, to the old home that we all love so well How many happy marriages have been consummated through the medium of the obliging central girl! !And that reminds us: The force of the Duncan Telephone Company is possessed of the polit eness that every one has longed to see expressed. Mr. Oollis, the methodical manager of the Dun can Telephone Company is a tele phone man from the word “go.” Any defect in the service of his company receives his immediate attention. Mr. Collis is a man in whom the confidence of the Dun can telephone users will never be misplaced. He handles a tele phone that, for service the world has no equal; this telephone is the Chicago de Luxe. A life time guarantee goes with every one of these instruments. Mr. Collis intends to greatly enlarge the field, alreay large, of his tele phone activities. It is safe to sav that he will get the support of every citizen in the vicinity of Duncan. Without a doubt, h° deserves such a support. I An institution of which any Jty could well be proud is The Bank of Duncan. From its very inception, under the leadership of H. M. Watson, this bank has en joyed an era of unparalelled pros perity. That Mr. Watson budd ed wisely and well is proven by the continued strength of this institution. No better memorial to the early years of manhood could be wished than the career of this necessity common to every community of any commercial significance. For the past few years this bank has enjoyed the efficient management of Mr. Lanneau, one of the rising young financiers of the Southwest. The stockholders of this institution are indeed fortunate in their sel ection of Mr. Lanneau as their representative of voice in their profitable investment. Not a de positor can be found who is wil ing to transfer his account to an other place of safe keeping, unless unavoidable conditions demand an account in a bank c f a more central location. Duncan is fort unate in the possession of Mr. Lanneau as the custodian of its funds. An old adage is to the effect that the nearset way to a man’s heart is through his inner para phernalia, to politely express our meaning. In this connection is well to state that the citizens of Duncan can be easily reached by any one who is willing to pay the moderate price charged by the proprietors of Duncan’s sani tary meat markets. It is indeed refreshing to see the pleased look of the housewife as she surveys the juicy steaks, roasts and tasty meats of every Lind, sort and condition, that are sunplied by Duncan’s obliging sellers of the toothsome products of Dun can’s alfalfa and grain. This is to the many housewives who will soon come to Duncan: Before you ask a favor, in the way of pin money, feed that mere man about two pounds of the afore said meat. Somewhere in this old world we have heard of a man who once talked of “The cup that cheers.” We have an opinion that this man, sometime in his life, stopped in Duncan. Now, this is why we think that Duncan once saw this man, or rather he saw Duncan: In the shops of some our popular caterers, there can be found the necessary materials that cause a man to think of the sweetheart with whom he roamed the gard ens of love in the days that are gone forever. He thinks, after the proper preparation, of the old front gate, where he plighted his word to the girl he loved. There come to his memory scenes of a happy childhood, when every day saw expressed his earnest desire to eat everything in sight; although biscuits on Sunday morning enjoing his greatest at tention. He thinks of the days when he for the first time, plucked enough courage to ask for his first kiss, He remembers the virgin blush of the dearest creature in the world, as she said,” I didn’t know you liked me.” He thinks of the little home where he car ried his first wife, where the spring was down below, in the valley, where after a few months of married happiness, his waking thought was of the old coon dog, instead of the wife of his besom. Bnt, oh pshaw, why recall those old scenes? Come to Duncan. One of the best ways to judge the worth of any business is by the length of its existence. From that fact we conclude that the mercantile establishment con ducted by Mr. Campbell is a strong one. For ten long and prosperous years Mr. f Campbell has been engaged in the comer cial life of Duncan. In his store can be found all the things that hungry man can possibly want. Mr. Campbell savs that he has, and will, handle anything once. The people may be sure that what they want can bf* found at Camp bell’s store. Mr. Campbell is an old-timer in this region, being the man who started Safford, Arizona, where he at present owns valuable property. In ad dition to this property, he con trols some of the richest land in the valley of the famous Gila. He runs a mill that produces the kind of flour and meal that makes the kind of bread that. mother used to make. The Methodist people of the Duncan vicinity are fondly proud of their young pastor, Rev. Dr- Acuff. Mr. Acuff is a worthy exponent of the liberal tendencies of the protestant churches of to day. Mr. Acuff impresses one with the thoughts of a man of profound spiritual thought, com bined with a great love for hu manity. This young pastor is not content with the training gained by a course at one of,the strongest colleges in the East, but is further preparing himself for his chosen work by a corres pondence course at Vanderbilt University.- Hit mind is set on the highest theological training that the best schools afford. Duncan is glad that he tarries with us. It is reported, by conservative business men of this whole sec tion, that Duncan is soon to en joy the advantages of a new rail way. This is not childish gossip. It is on reliable authority that the present prosperity of our liberal city will soon witness the coming of a railway that will match its strength with the rail way whose courteousand fair minded officials have served us j so long and well. We pledge our continued support to the tried | and true highway, and a fresh enthusiasm to the new. Come to Duncan. a farming valley A MINING CENTER 38th WEEK A merry crowd was that which gathered at one of Duncan’s popular meeting places last Thursday morning. It was an assemblage of men capable of discussing any topic that could suggest itself to the mind of man. Mr. Parks entertained with his opinion of infant baptism; Mr. Tipton, for the edification of the crowed toid them exactly how they cculd trisect the trian gle; Mr. Clay expressed his thoughts concerning the origin of prenatal influence: Mr. Head said he would be hanged if he would sell his yearlings for less than $30.00: said he knew that was a good price for ordinary two- v year-olds, but his yearlings were as good as any man’s two-year olds. Thqs the conversation ran ged from the heights of intellec tuality, to the commonplace plea santries of the rest of us, who were good listeners. Come to Duncan. A certain prominent business man of our town has confided to the Arizonian that his heart is sad; all because of the fact that a heart less young man of Duncan is succeeding in his efforts to gain the hand of marriage of the store man’s pretty salesgirl. When questioned, the lady whose hap piness is at stake, refused to committherself, but promised the questioner that he should have the order for the wedding cards. We admire this evidence of pub lic spirit; listen, you men of Dun can will you be as generous with your printing. One or our strongest business houses is that conducted by Mr W. W. Wilkey. Mr. Wilkey’s ambition is such that he is not content to carry the ordinary mount of stock: he is following the idea that is better to hold in stock every article that man can possibly need, from baby shoes to manure spreaders. Mr. Wilkey has just received a com plete line of the most modern farming implements. This store is the successor of the Taylor Mercantile, Co. whose former manager, Mr. Taylor set a high water mark in Duncan’s com mercial life What promises to be one of the most enjoyable social affairs of the waning winter season is the dance to be given at Hobbs Hall next Monday night, in hon or of St. Patrick’s Day. All of Dnncan’s pretty girls will be there tocast their sweet smiles upon the beaus of their choice. The floormaster takes particu lar pains to see that the most per fect order is maintained at all dan ces held at this hall. But his task in that respect is easy, for the gallantary of the young men of Duncan is such that every man is upon his best behavior. The Billingsley Mecantile esta blishment has a complete stock of the most improved farming imple ments of every description. These people have the fineness of judgment, gained through years of experience in this line, which enables them to know exactly the needs of the prosperous ranchers of the Duncan section. All honor to the commercial men of our town, who have the en ergy that enables them to supply the every need of the buyers of their community. Mr. Clark, of the Clark Mer cantile Company, is a practical business man, but in addition to this quality, he an artistic sence that would cause envy in the breast of an Italian artist. We will submit the proof: Go to his well-stocked general mer chandise store, and take an ex tended gaze at his new furni ture, He has furniture of such Continued on Page Four
