MIR. j. H. Ward has been appointed
agent in Los Angeles for the Spadra
and San Bernardino stage line via
Riverside. A better appointment
could not have been made. The eX-
tensive acuuainta nee of Mr.. Ward
with the travelling public as agent for
the Goodall, Nelson & Perkins' steam
ship line, renders him particularly
fitted for the position.
We call the attention of the travel
ing public to the advertisement of the.
Spadra and San Bernardino stage line,
via Riverside. The trip by this route
is made entirely by daylight, thus
obviating the discomforts OF night
travel. The road is well stocked with
good horses and comfortable coaches
and we hope it will receive that lib
eral patronage it so justly deserves.
Tickets for the school entertainment
to take place on Thursday evening,
are printed and can be secured at any

trust that liberal responce will be
made, and that the entertainment
will prove successful financially.
