regiment should decide to go into camp
there this summer This is very liberal
offer, and if sufficient money could be
raised in Grass Valley and Nevada City to
assist in paying the expenses of the reg
iment while in camp, it would probably
decide the matter, as the encampment held
there some four years ago was one of the
pleasantest ever held by the regiment. The
people of that region are whole-souied
class, and their treatment of the soldiers
was all that could be wished for. The ex-
pense would be greater there than at Wood
land, on account of the transportation to
Colfax and the increased cost of subsist-
ence. If the transportation was low
enough, it might be arranged so that the
regiment could go into camp at Chico with
the Chico Guard, or, if Sacramento be-
stirred itself. the encampment could be
held here, and perhaps the Chico and Stock
ton companies would join with the First
Artillery and have brigade encampment
in some good location outside of the CITY
limits, or at Agricultural Park. Some of
our public-spirited citizens should take the
matter in hand and endeavor to raise suffi-
cient funds for the purpose, as this year
there will be no allowance from the State
for this object
The Chico Guard held its election for
Captain last Wednesday night, and Captain
H. T. Batchelder was unanimously re-
elected. The Captain is tavorite with his
company, and in fact with all officers of
the National Guard who know him. His
knowledge of battalion evolutions at Camp
Stoneman surprised his best friends. He
is very quick 10 pick up point, and is a
thorough-going officer.
Frank 2. Lowell, ex-Lieutenant of Com

We understand that Governor Stoneman,
through Acknowledgement Cosby, has given
permission to the city companies and regi-
ment to omit drills next week, on account
of the revival meetings which will be held
in the armory. This was done upon solicit
tation of the clergymen of the city. The
regimental drill set for Monday evening
will therefore be postponed until Tuesday
evening, January 26th. The companies
will be ordered to have street drill by the
regimental commander on the nights set
apart for each to drill, unless prevented by
rain, as the law states that the companies
must drill three weeks in each month, the
fourth being devoted to civil business.
A LIVE BUSINESS HoUsE.-On another
page of to-day's paper appears the business
announcement of James G. Davis, the we'll
known furniture dealer, whose principal
store is located at All and Alb K street,
with branch store at 315 X street. Mr..
Davis has been in the furniture business
in this city for upwards of fifteen years.
and during that time has established a
reputation for square and honest dealings
He always makes it point never to mis-
represent an article, no difference how low
or high priced it may be- A number of
carloads of the most handsome furniture
has just been placed in stock Particular
attention is called to the New England
mahogany and bedroom sets, which are
very artistic in make and finish.
With this consignment Mr.. Davis received
some fine armours, with French plate
beyeled-mirrors. side-boards, with Tennes-
see marb!e-top, hat-trees and walnut bed
room sets, etc. Persons desiring fine fur
niture will do well to call and examine Mr..
Davis stock, as he cannot be undersold
The enterprise of Sacramento merchants
is proverbial. AS an example. we point to
our fellow-citizen, John Breuner, the we'll
known furniture-dealer, at Nos. 604, COS.
COS X street who, from the very smallest
beginning, has built up business second
TO none in the State. He gives as reason
the fact that his goods are always reliable
and his prices always kept below those of
other houses. Mr.. Breuner says for this
fChlf W IdhiiS advantage Oh the ClOSeneSS
of the market, he is now able to offer very
fine chamber set of seven pieces complete
for eighteen dollars, formerly sold for
twenty-five; a handsome and stylish en-
bossed plush parlor suite for fifty-five
dollars, former price seventy-five; a walnut
frame lounge for ten dollars, and a similar
reduction throughout his entire stock; and
when we behold his immense ware-room
and see the wonderful stock exhibited
therein, it seems impossible that anyone
should go away therefrom not pleased.
We consider it wisdom for all intending
purchasers of furniture to call on Mr..
Breuner.
THIS MORNING at 0 clock prompt, Clunie
& Kiley will have on the counter fifty
pieces of Canton flannel, TO be sold at 81
cents per yard, worth Is cents Corner of
Eighth and X streets.
