will have the usual Thanksgiving
cheer, while those who failed to
make winning scores will, we sup
pose, either have to forage off the
victors or content themselves with
everyday rations.
On Tuesday last George Welcb,
q young man aged 10 yeara, who
lives with his father at Compton,
returned from hunting excursion
at noon and placed his gun near
the door of the house while he ate
lunch. After lunch he took the
gun up to put it away, when it WAS
accidentally discharged, the load
passing through the right arm, in
fictipg painful wound.
Jacoby Brothers appear in O
bright and attractive advertise
ment In to-day's HERALD which
cannot fail to attract the attention
of all who are in search OF bar
gains. These gentlemen are deter
| mined to loom up always In the
forefront of the trade, and they
ransack all the markets of the con-
tinent for goods which combine
cheapness with fine quality. Their

ing and urbane, they are of course
successful.
Mr.. r. J. Floyd, of Savannah,
has lately returned from q trip to
the Lava Beds district, in which he
Is largely interested, in company
with Mr.. Alfred James, Mr.. j. G.
Wallace and Mr.. Hook, of San
Bernardino. He expresses himself
as greatly pleased with the min
eral prospects in that section, ana
hopes to have his farming receipts
materially augmented by the forth
coming dividends. We heartily
hope that his wishes may be real-
lied.
A large crowd was present at the
Chinese Joss house last night to
witness the burning of the idols
which have stood guard ct the en-
trance to the temple during the
celebration OF the festival. This
act of the religious ceremonies took
place at O'clock and was accom-
panied by groans and suppIications
to the boss devil to be easy on those
Cinnamon who had the misfortune
to die without means to pay for the
usual sacrifices or. whose friends
failed to have the services per-
formed.
Mr.. ]. 9. Wallace brought to the
HERALD Office yesterday some
very rich specimens of argentifer-
GUS gaiena from the Lava Beds, u
new mining district recently To-
Gated about IS miles northeast of
the Calico mountains. An assay
has not yet been made, but from
the character of the groupings IL is
believed that the ore Ia rot only
very rich but that the supply is
almost in exhaustible. A mum Der
Of ADgelefios have made locations
in the new district.
Mr.. H. @. Morse, of Boston, and
Mr.. Geo. L. Clark, of New York,
arrived In Los Angeles by yester-
day's train from San Francisco,
and are stopping at The Pico House.
They yes erday drove through the
San Gabriel valley, visiting the
Sierra Madre Villa, Sunny Slope,
and other notable places. They
express themselves as highly
pleased with all they saw in that
delightful region, and were filled
with surprise at the immensity of
the wine and brady interests of
that section Of our county.
MIR. H. NJ Johnston, under the
head IA round up in East Los AN.
geles," elsewhere, in this morn
ing's HERALD, advertises for sale
some of tive most desirable proper
ty in East Los Angeles, the most
rapidly improving portion of our
city. He also offers a number of
tracts suitable for vineyards or
orange orchards. The opportunity
Ia a splendid one, and we would
advise all seeking lands for homes,
or for speculative purposes, to call

To-day Mr.. r. S. Lynch, who,
for The past four years and q half,
has been the local editor of tlie
HERALD, starts, via the Southern
Pacific, on a visit of month 10
his relations and friends in St.
Louis and other Eastern points.
During the long period named Mr..
Lynch has had scarcely any inter.
mission in his labors, and we
heartily hope that he may find
both relaxation and pleasure in his
trip. The contrast between the
balmy air Of Los Angeles and the
midwinter temperature OF the East
will doubtless be approximately
noted by him.
DR.. Semig, Surgeon in the
United States Army, who came
here q couple of months ago as

who has made hosts of friends dur.
ing his stay here, and lie will be
greatly missed in society circles.
After reporting at his post, it is his
intention, We understand, to visit
the East on six months leave of
absence. We wish him bon VOy.
age and hope that, ere long, lie
may find it convenient to pay our
city another visit.
