OF this locality, Dir. Chamberlin

a large amount of hay could be cut

is not such a thing here. But hun

Life opens up with grander sweep;
The same bright heaven shine overhead,
And deep doth beckon into deep
Climb ever up to higher heights
Untrodden yet, with firmer tread,
To broader views, to nobler faith,
Climb to these mountain peaks instead
Though dark below the bass may be,
Its SUBMITS are with sunlight kissed =
And the brave soul that climbs may see
The blessed light above the mist.sS
AS one who with unwearied steps
Climbs cloudy Alpine peaks sublime,

Above the little rif6 Of time.
As one who in screner air
Forgets life's little hour OF woes

From Paradise no gate debars;

The design and flowers are from the
firm of B. Mcdonald & Son, San

their share toward the development
of the county and the performance of
the trust imposed on them.

ty since '76; w. r. Macmurdo, for

teen years connected with the office,
and for many years county clerk.
Dallas McCord, the present sheriff who
was born in this county, and w. P.
Bowers, who was Sheriff of this county
for twelve years, and one OF the best
specimens Of Natures noblemen and
American manhood, w. B. Carr,
the resident partner and manager
of the Haggin and Carr rancho, is al
so well preserved specimen of the
Pacific Coast energetic men,
who have done wonders in
the way OF developement
under adverse circumstances and
frequent reverses in fortune. He car
ries his age and financial honors with
a modesty and an equilibrium that
but few can even immitate.
An agreeable and noticeable feature
among the representative men of
Kern, in contra-distinction with the
men of the counties further north,
in this valley is disposition to culti-
vate more friendly relations and
intimate commercial relations
