LETTER FROM ANAHEIM.
Harvesting Commenced = Immense
Yield OF autobiography Happy
The Robbed and Wounded Lady
Recovering.

EDITOR HERALD: Our harvest has
begun. From every farm sounds the
click md rattle of reapers, headers,
and mowers. Harvest hands are in
demand. Plenty Of work at good
wages for all who apply. The yield
:. of grain will far exceed our most san
guine expectations. The late rains,
the fogs, and the cloudy weather have
caused the kernels to fill out to I'M
usual plumpness. The quality of grain
will be superior to that produced by
us in any former year, while the guam
tity will be at least fve-fold greater.
ANAHEIM
Is completely encircled by grain
belt, varying in width from two to
seven miles. South of the Santa
Ana, the whole country, from the
river to the San joaquin Ranch, en-
bracing the flourishing settlements of
Gospel Swamp, Santa Ana, Richland,
and Tustin, is almost one continuous
grain field. And such grain!-rye
towering up from six to- nine feet in
hight, and barley fallen flat from
the very weight of the heads. Such
a harvest as we are having is enough
ia rejoice the heart of an anchorite,
or provoke grin upon the face of
Melancholy.
OUR BRIGHT PROSPECTS
OF the good time coming make every
body cheerful, save perhaps few
a few individuals in every commu-
nifty whose mission it is to groan.
Luck is always against them. " I'm
merciful disaster follows them fast
and follows them faster.n When For
tune rains her blessings, the shower
never reaches their garden patch.
Prosperity is forever bucking them off,
and fate giving them kick; or at
least they imagine so. If such mortals
should get to heaven, l really believe
they would keep up an everlasting
groaning because they did not land in
the other place.
IN THIS, OUR YEAR OF JUBILEE,
These "prophets of evil find but few
crumbs of comfort, but they make
the most of these There's SO much
grain in the county that it wont be
worth nothin'; there Amt facilities to
ship it out of the county, and it will
rot on our hands. Oh, dear! somethin'
allus happens when we do git good
crop, so we don't make nuthin' out of
it, And then he groaned clear down
to his boots. Ialmost envied him the
happiness it seemed to give him. OF
all the groaners in this grooming world
of ours, deliver me from the grooming
Granger! / suppose groaners are
necessity. They are the vinegar that
seasons the soup of life-but then l
always take my soup straight, and
enough of groaning for this time.
The Anaheim, Orange, Tustin and
Santa Ana Sunday Schools hold a
union picnic in the Santiago Canon to-
morrow Saturday, There will he
speaking, swinging, eating, drinking,
and other entertainments too numer-
Gus to mention.
THE LADY
Who was so hrutally assaulted by
ruffians in their attempt to rob her
last week, is slowly recovering from
her injuries. She was much more
seriously hurt than was at first sup
posed. No clue has yet been obtained
that may lead to the detection of the
cowardly scoundrels who attacked
her.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Close next week. Examinations be-
gin Wednesday morning and continue
until Friday evening. The next ses-
sion will begin the middle of August.
The schools have been kept open this
year ten months. The compulsory
school law, if enforced, will more than
double the attendance in our schools.
1t will require about three additional
school rooms to accommodate all who
will be forced to attend, and three add
ditional teachers to teach them.
Query: Wilt pay to go to all this eX-
pense for twelve weeks schooling?
Yours, MOLINERo.
