Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-05-09

OUR FOURTH OF July CELEBRATION
The Lyon County Times speaks in thu
following kindly terms Of the propo
sition to make this city the center of /:
grand celebrations: 1t says "Carson City
| is going to have Centennial Celebra
ton on the Fourth of July, and ask,
| the State. and especially Virginia anC
the Comstock generally, to Join with
| her. 1t is wise move on the part o.
Carson, for there are many patriotic
hearts who will stay at home from the
Centennial at Philadelphia and who
! will be glad to have an opportunity tc
show their devotion to the country on
the occasion of her hundredth birth
day, and at the same time have lots Of
fun. Carson is a pretty place in sum-
| mer, when the trees are in full leaf,
and is the natural spot OF all the State
for an old-fashioned, real good and en-
ioyable celebration. Pleasure and
patriotism mixed form an agreeable
dose, and there is scarcely any one
who would not be benefited by it.
The V. Il T. r. r. would no doubt is
sue return tickets at reduced rates of
fare. SO that it would be about as cheap
a way as any of spending the Fourth,
TO go down there. Carson has stood
by Virginia in time of need, and Nir-
ginia can Scarcelo refuse her invitation
on this occasion. Silver City of course
would join with Virginia, and the del
egation that would 60 down in such a
case would surprise the good people Of
the quiet Capital"
THE CARSON Posi- OFFICE is what is
known as a distributing Office. All
the mails for Southern Nevada have
to be made up here. The work to be
performed in this Office aggregates
more than in any other Postoffice in
the State in consequence of this extra
labor. But the Government only
pays our Postmaster $4,000 and allows
about half pay for clerk. The Vir-
gjnia Post office pays salary to its
Postmaster OF $500, and allows full
pay for four clerks. The Government
pays for Office rent there but COM
pels the Postmaster here to get it the
best he may. There is really no JUS
tice in this discrepancy but it is the
way the Postoffice Department has of
dealing, and there is no appeal from
it. Fred Turner made an appeal from
paying rent and got removed. Now
Winnie goes out, and he says he is
not sorry. He says he wonders that
any man that can make s. day out
side of it should want it, with all it's
cares, labors and responsibilities.
PEEsENTAr1oN.-A Augustus Cults, for
nine years foreman of the Santiago mill
and for thirteen years an employe thereof,
was yesterday presented with gold
Lang watch and = gold
quartz chain. The following inscription
was engraved on the watch: Presented
10 A. Cults, by his friends of the San
.iago mill, May, 1876" This was one
at least, which caused q |
complete surprise. Mr.. Cuts has made |
he snug little sum of SIS. 900, and pro-
poses to make . visit to the old folks at |
ZONE and take in the Centennial exhibi- !
ion on the way. His fellow workmen !
ubscribed the funds to buy this watch |
md chain, which were purchased OF |
friend. Mr.. Cuts is brother of our
,utts in the Mint. If the Santiago Cults
rants to come back, a. it is hoped he
ill. it il said he is sufficiently popular

punt Of tho serious if not fatal injury
Henry Lapply, who had been upset
D the previous day while driving q
enoa butcher wagon between Carson
