During the phenon al grt v h of
Southern California, there have been
n number of beautiful cities ana
towns springing up as ii by magic, all
, doubtless having their particular ad-
vantages and resources. But amongst
all We dare say there has not been
another which can favorably compare
with the rapid growth Of The city OF
Monrovia. In the month of May 1886
the beautiful villa upon which now
stands the LARGEST city of its age on
earth, was field of waving grain
locked by the laws of the land in tile

<sumu at-d by which this magnifi ent
villa came in the possession of some
of he most eu'erprising aud wealthy
citizens of Southern California, too
welL known to need mention. 1t was
the unanimous desire of this syndi-
cate to make the town which they
were about to lay out Caii-
iforDia's fairest and favorite CITY
