Let the office be established at Shasta, as
it is the most central and convenient point
-Weaverville Journal
The idea of establishing land office at
Susanville is rich, and shows the powerful
originality and sublime genius of the pub
fishers Of the Sage Brush. If they meet
with no back set they may yet improve un-
til some board of examining physicians
decide that they possess brains enough to
go crazy on.
The following named pupils Of the
Shasta Primary School deserve mention on
account of good department and diligence
in their studies during the past month:
Nettie Grotefend, Lena Blumb, Julia
Kountz, May Follansbee, Jenny Follans-
bee, Clara Leschinsky. Lucinda Sulloway
Anna Sulloway, Eugene Tape, Willie
Witherow, Henry Hoy, Horace Wright
Harry Brackett, Johnnie Boyce, Sammy
Sulloway, Frank Scammon. sdf
Captain Chas. Anderson's New Years
lunch and rattle at Li.sch's saloon was a
complete success Almost everybody
bought ticket to the rattle and everybody
patronized the lunch. By the way the
Captain has our thanks for mammoth and
delicious cake which was finely decorated
with appropriate holiday designs.
Our colored population duly observed
Emancipation Day by grand ball and
bourteous supper, both of which were
highly enjoyed by the participants.
On December oath C. C. Bush, Joseph
Isaacs and j. N. Chappell were elected
Trustees OF Union Church.
