Tombstone's Clipped History.

November 13, 1921 - TOMBSTONE EPITAPH

TWO CAMP GROUNDS FOR TOMBSTONE

On account of the desire of tourists to camp closer to the business part of town the city of Tombstone will have two camp grounds, one for the soldiers will be located on the old hospital grounds, which has been cleaned up and water installed, and one for tourists in the heart of the city.

The grounds for tourists is the free offering of the Tombstone Auto company, who have men at work on the lots in the block just east of Sixth street on Allen street.

Water is being piped onto the grounds and two toilets are being erected, and other conveniences will be installed. The grounds will be enlarged as the demand grows.

The flag pole that marked the turning of the Bankhead-Old Spanish trails route at Fifth street has been taken down and will be moved to Sixth and Allen, that being the official turning point of the state highway, it having been moved one block east to bring the tourist traffic past the Bird Cage theater.

DEAR MISS SOCIETY - by Miss Prudence Fairchild
Manners are like corsets—out of fashion in some circles, but still quite effective when properly applied. Here, we revisit the customs that once held society together, with nary a snap out of place.

Dear Miss Society: I have been gifted a pair of dainty lace gloves, but I fear they will provide little warmth on a brisk autumn day. Must I sacrifice comfort for elegance?

Dear Reader: Elegance often demands a degree of fortitude, but one must not fall victim to fashion at the expense of sensibility. Lace gloves may lend an air of refinement, but they are no match for an autumn chill. A lady of both taste and practicality might don them for appearances, only to discreetly exchange them for something more substantial when necessity demands. After all, frostbitten fingers are far less becoming than a well-chosen pair of warm gloves.

~~~~~~~~

Dear Miss Society: At a fall wedding reception, what is the proper way to handle conversations if there is background music that might be slightly louder indoors?

Dear Reader: When the strains of background music begin to edge into foreground territory, one must adjust without descending into theatrics or table-side charades.
Lean in slightly, speak with clarity, and resist the urge to shout as though announcing train departures. Should the music truly hinder conversation, it is perfectly proper to offer a gentle smile and suggest continuing your chat during a quieter moment—perhaps over dessert or near the coat check, where violins dare not tread.
Above all, avoid exaggerated gestures or dramatic sighs. A true lady or gentleman never blames Chopin for a social stumble.

~~~~~~~~

If your hat tips too far or your hemline too high, Miss Society answers with a well-arched eye.

Send your social snarls to Miss Society—where manners matter, and missteps are mildly mocked. [email protected]

Even without special events, Halloween in Tombstone, Arizona, still carries an eerie charm all its own. As the sun sets over the desert hills and the street lamps flicker to life along Allen Street, you can almost hear the whispers of the Old West echoing through town. Take a twilight stroll past historic saloons and haunted landmarks, join one of Tombstone’s famous ghost tours, and discover why this legendary town doesn’t need planned festivities to feel downright supernatural on Halloween night. 🥶
