y espouse the cause of whisky against

Greene county Miss Williams, liv-
ing near White Plains, and said to
be beautiful young girl and highly
educated and accomplished, being a
graduate of the Covington Female
College, not only came out boldly in
opposition to prohibition, but donned

ton did all in her power to carry the
precinct where she lived "wet." She
halted every voter that passed her
fathers house, argued the unconsti-
tutionality of the law, and gave him

keepers of Greensboro presented her
with purse.

system will always remain poor. The
interest paid on advances is treble the
legal rate. No business will pay
such an interest Better curtail the
business and run it on the cash plan.

take to enlarge his farming business

bring vexation and disappointment.

- Mr.. Cummings, on behalf of few OF
the employees of the State bindery, have
pleasant duty to perform this evening.
We have invited you here to partake with
as of the good things which our host has
so plentifully provided. The season being
Christmas time, as it is customary to pre-
sent our friends with some memento of our
esteem, it is for that purpose we have pre-
pared this little surprise for you. On behalf
of our friends assembled here, have the
honor of presenting to you this cane,
knowing that you will value this small
token OF our regard, not Tor its intrinsic
worth, but as testimonial to yousfor your
many qualities of both head and heart.
We desire to hereby express our apprecia-
ton OF. the gentlemanly treatment we have
received at your hands while employed in
the department under your supervision
We have found that while in the perform
ance of your duties to the State you have
never needlessly wounded the feelings of
the most humble employer. We beg you,
therefore, to accept this tritie in Difference
10 our motives in presenting it. We feel
assured you will value it as token OF
friendship and embematic of the golden
opinions you have won from all sorts and
conditions of men. We feel assured that
your character will remain in the future, as
it has been in the past, like the bright and
FURNISHED gold, without spot or blemish.
We hope you may live to enjoy many
happy returns of the season, and that when
old age comes on this may serve you as
staff of support in your declining years
It will also remind you of few friends
you had on Christmas, 1885,"
Mr.. Cummings was completely taken by
surprise, but he replied in his usual happy
vein, thanking the donors for their kind
offering. The cane is very handsome
and valuable one, suitably engraved.

Alfalfa win Do 1t.

Last spring the Heilbron Bros, Of this
city, sent a carload of calves from Sacra-
mento to their Wild Flower ranch in Fresno
county. The stock was of the best blood
and were put in an alfalfa field They were
kept there on this green feed through the
spring, summer and winter. One day last
week 20 head of the yesrlings were placed
in car, and returned to this city, where
they were slaughtered for Christmas meats.
The lghtest one weighed 500 pounds, while
several of the larger ones tipped the beam
AZ over 700 They we're displayed yester-
day, and still are TO be seen, at Heilbron's
market, J, Front and Second, and Mohr &
Yoerk's, J, Tenth and Eleventh The meat
is said by these market men to be finer
than anything that has been seen in this
city for the past ten years, and proves con-
clusively what can be done on the sandy
wastes Of Fresno with industry, water and
alfalfa seed. Seven years ago the land in
question could not be given away 1t was
a level sandy plain, that shifted with the
wind, and no sign of vegetation was to be
seen anywhere, except species of sage
brush and q few specimens of the cactus
family. To-day it is fenced, and the fields
OF grain, meadows of alfalfa, and extensive
vineyards, are the pride of many an honest
farmer. When August Hebron first OBJ
tanned possession of section of this land
he offered to give quarter of it to friend.
After viewing the uninviting tract, the lat
ter refused the proffered gift He wanted

in alfalfa and supports hundreds of cattle
and sheep, which requires no care what

dition to those that are stall and corn fed
for that purpose. The lambs shipped from
that place last week are es large as full

can be done in every part of this great val
