thusiastic. In this section Of the County We
are perfect unit, presenting a solid front
having mo qusrrelng as to who shall BE-
nominated to this or that Office, but every
Democrat feels it his duty to give up person
al preferences, and labor for the good Of the
cause. We want good old fashioned Dem

alliances" to dr9g US down, and we will then

men, who can't afford to pay go cents in
taxes on every dollar they make, are hot on
the Democratic war path, and are praying

All men who wish to have just laws, an

A very sad affair occurred here on last
Thursday. A bright, beautiful little boy,
son Of Mr. Leach Of this place, accidentally
fell into the South Yuba ditch and WAS
drowned. The little fellow had not been ab-
sent from bis mothers arms but few min.
utes before it was brought home corpse.
HIS last words to bis mother on leaving the
house, was "Bye, bye mamma, I'm going"
Death at all times is terrible. but 0, how
terrible when it comes like the igbtnipg's
shock, without a moments warning. 1t was
a sad sight to see the bereaved parents, so
suddenly bereft Of their beautiful child, cut
down in the very bud Of its young life, with.
out sin aud without guile. The parents have
the heart felt sympathy Of this whole com
munity. Yours truly,
