ORR citizens should not forget the concert


ORR citizens should not forget the concert
~ be given by the Philharmonic Society of
Jackson, on the 18th inst. We understand
that large number of ladies and gentlemen
from Jackson will be in attendance, and if
the citizens of Mokelumne Hill and vicinity
are as liberal in their patronage of the So
ciety as its merits deserve, Leger's Hall will
be crowded on the occasion. The music,
both vocal and instrumental, furnished by
the Society, is spoken of in the highest terms
of praise by those who have had the pleasure
Of listening to their performances, and we
have no doubt that they will have an
audience in this town fattering to their
musical accomplishments and beneficial TO
their treasury. The people OF Jackson ana
Mokelumne Hill have ever been on the
most intimate terms, socially, and we are
extremely anxious that the ladies and gen.
tlemen who compose the Society should
meet with a reception from our citizens that
will cement more firmly the bonds OF unison
between the respective towns. At the con-
elusion of the musical entertainment the
seats will be removed and the hall trans
formed into a ballroom. Everyone can
dance, whether they have a taste for music
or not, and the disciples of TerpsicEore Will
have d splendid opportunity to worship at
L. N ta1
TO have been able to have published pro-
eramme of the entertainment, this week, but
the managers neglected to furnish US with it.
In our next issue we shall probably be able
70 present our readers with the bill of fare of
the musical feast to which they are invited
On the 18th.
NEW GooDs.-The amount of merchandise
sold in Mokelumne Hill, annually, is en-
ormous. The three dry goods establishments
in town, Davidson's Mrs. Adams and
Gradwohl & Co.'S, are now receiving their
Fall and Winter styles, ana it does a fellow
good, that is, if he is fortunate enough to be
a bachelor, to look at them. Everything
that the most subtle feminine ingenuit y
can invent OF the Unsuitable cravings of
vitiated female tastes desire. are piled up in
huge heaps which must be agonizing to bene-
dictine contemplation. They are sold SO
cheap. however, that people from Jackson,
Suffer, West Point, San Andreas, and we
were going to say Stockton, find it to their
advantage to purchase here. Anyone wish
ing bill of dry goods can hire team, come
here and make their purchases, have good
ride and make money by the operation, even
il they live as far off as Suffer. Weihe &
Co. sell more groceries than any other firm
in the southern mines outside of Stockton.
Sokolowsky is kept constantly busy. Depew
finds a ready market for his fine stock of
hardware and Schlund disposes of his jewel
ry, clocks, ETC., at rapid rate. Newberger
sells more cigars, tobacco, powder and shot,
stationery and fancy articles than anybody
and DR.. HGrchner supplies the whole coun-
try with drugs. medicines and perfumery.
Now, there is a reason for all this, and that
is they all advertise in the CHRONICLE
Reader, go and do likewise
HEBREW New YEAR.-Sunday evening
last, according to the Hebrew Calendar, was
the commencement of the year 1928. The
ceremonies observed in commemoration of
their new year constitute one of the most
solemn of the Jewish festivals. From sun
down on Sunday evening until shutdown on
Tuesday the places of business of our Hebrew
citizens were closed and no business trans
acted. The religious rites and ceremonies
usually observed on such occasions, were
performed in the Hall over Gradwohl & Co. S
store. The Jews have an ancient tradition
that the earth was created in the month of
September, or 1ishri, and from that epoch
they compute the age Of the world and make
use of this date in all their civil acts. The
ecclesiastical year commences in the month
Nissan, which answers to portion of
March and April. The new year holidays
are spent in feasting, rejoicing and giving to
the poor. Wednesday next will be the Day
of Atonement or "Yom Kippur.' We are
not much acquainted with the traditions of
the Hebrew faith, but if a faithful observ-
ance of the days set apart for religious wor-
ship is criterion by which to judge the
sincerity of their belief, they set an example
which Christians would do well to follow.
FIRE.-About half past one on Wednesday
morning last our citizens were aroused from
their peaceful slumbers by the ringing of the
alarm bell and the startling cry of fire"
The alarm was caused by the burning of the
dwelling house, formerly the residence of
George c. Tryon, Esq, on Centre Street.
The house was occupied at the time of its
destruction by Chileno and his family.
They were unable to save anything so rapid
was the progress of the flames. The fire is
supposed to have caught from sparks falling
on the roof from the chimney, very hot
fire having been kept up in the stove dur
ing the evening. The Hook and Ladder
Company was promptly on the spot, and by
vented the flames from spreading to other
buildings. During this dry, windy weather
extraordinary precautions should be taken
BY our citizens to guard against fire. Six
months of exceedingly hot weather have
rendered everything as dry as finder, and if
ever the flames get under Roadway, goodbye
Mokelumne Hill.
FRuIT.-No country on the face of the
