During rny period l have suffered

nervousness, insomnia, melancholy

weakness, pains. &c. l had those
dreadful looking brown spotches

condition. I was submitting to 1t
as patiently as possible, when two
weeks ago [ met DR.. o. p Stark,

it on tap and l was lodging in

to take it two to four times daily

suit, all my tired feelings gone, my

my nervousness has taken its

and l do most willingly endorse
all Mrs. Edwards says: not that

His capital at that time was scarcely
81 800, and the first year he lost 500 !;
but he was not the man to be discouraged
by a single reverse, and he continued
the business in this place with eminent
success for years and is now one of the
largest dealers in the State, and at the
present time is conducting twelve lum-
ber yards in this State and Kansas in ad-
dition to the distributing yard at Chi

the foremost men in Washington county

other buildings are monuments of his

individual efforts and contributions in
cash of over 81 400, and his public-spirit-
edness has not been confined to this
county; in Red Oak and other places
where he has business interests he
is foremost in advancing the interest
of the towns; in business point his life
has been grand success. and the lesson
of his indomitable industry is before the
young men of the country; he has never
sought or held Office, nor is he a candi-
date for popularity or public fame; he is
plain and unassuming in his habits and
manners, social and obliging as neigh
Dor, and kind and warm hearted as a
friend, and, as citizen, generous and
hospitable to all; he is purely a self
made man; commencing life in straight

indomitable will, energy and persever-
ance made for himself fortune"
Mr.. Bryson has been a resident of Los
Angeles county for some half score years
During that time he has been one of our
most progressive and active men. He
has been instrumental to marked de.

PORTER LAND AND WATER co.
Announcements.

The Porter Land and Water Company,
in offering their lands at the present
listed prices, feel confident that those
who are looking for fine land on which
to locate, to build beautiful homes, can
find nothing in Southern California more
desirable. These lands are located in
the great San Fernando valley, on the
line of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and
are of the very finest quality and justly
celebrated for the fine quality OF all kinds
of fruit which grows to perfection there.
To farmers of limited capital we offer
tracts to suit at from $50 to 1920 per
acre on long time and easy terms. All
looking for cheap lands on which to
locate can find nothing better. Every
acre level and suitable for growing all
kinds of fruits or grain. Located as this
land is, at the head of the San Fernando
Valley, in which is situated the old ex-
Mission de San Fernando, distant only
twenty miles by rail from Los Angeles,
it commends itself to all. The old Padres
of early days made no mistake in their
selection; you will make none If you
locate here.
Our lands at 1920 per acre have water
piped to every ten acres. Our sou land
Just as good as the $220 land, except that
no water rights are conveyed with it.
Domestic water can be had in any part OF
the valley by sinking wells; it is not
necessary to use water on the lands for
irrigation purposes. Circulars of infor-
nations and maps of lands sent free OH

the corner of Spring and Second are
his two most notable achievements,
but he has been engaged in innumerable
smaller enterprises, the aggregate of
which is very large. In November, 1888,
MIR. Bryson was nominated by the Dem
ocratic party of Los Angeles for Mayor
of the CITY. In the National election
just preceding the city had gone Repnb-
lican by about 800 plurality. This did
not look particularly encouraging to the
candidates of the Democracy, but such
was the confidence of the people in Mr..
Bryson's judgment, integrity and other
qualifications that it was evident from
the start that he would defeat his op-
ponent for the Office despite the polit-
ical outlook which appeared to be
unfa vorable to him. When the election
was over on the Sd day of December-to
the surprise of his most sanguine adhe-
rents-it was found that he had clear
majority of 1,1OO votes. Such an en-
dorsement at the hands of the public
speaks more than volumes of the popu-
larity of Mr.. Bryson in this community
and of the confidence the people place in
him. His course in the municipal gov
ernment will be in all respects for the
best interests of the city. 1t will be
marked by a liberal spirit, by progress
sive movement and by solid improve
ments at all points.

per acre, and small tracts Of 10, 20, and
40 acres for fruit farms at about the same
price. Colonies who want from L 900 to
5000 acres can be placed on fine lands
suitable for dividing among their mem
bers, at $25 to $40 per acre. This Com
pany cares nothing for booms, and asks
no inflated prices for their lands. They
own nearly one hundred thousand acres,
and have a perfect and undisputed
title. The object is to furnish good
lands to actual settlers at prices within
reach of any who can buy land at all
and on terms which will enable men OF
moderate means to acquire homes in an
attractive and healthful part OF Southern
California. They do not claim to have
the best land in the State, and at present
are not directly on railroad, but expect
to be before long. But they do claim te
offer better land and more advantages
and on easier terms of payment than any
place that has been brought to oul
notice. 1t will cost you nothing but 6
postal card to get detailed information
about these lands. If you want farm
or stock range. write or call at 10 Wes

A Successful Firm.


One of the most successful firms in our
city is the Los Angeles Mantel Company
They started in business about two years
ago and during that time they have put
in mantels Of various kinds and makes in
almost all the large business blocks and
residences that have been completed
within our city. At the company's show
rooms, corner of Second and Fort streets,
in the California Bank block, can be seen
designs in mantels that are truly beauti-
full to behold; wood, slate, iron, bronze.
granite and onyx mantels are there in all
designs imaginable, and the finish and
polish that are put upon them shows
plainly that they have men in their en-
ploy who thoroughly understand their
business. The fixtures, counters, shelly.
ing, etc., in Heinzeman's new drug store
in the Ian Franco block, was put in by
them; 80 also was Lockett & Pattee's
drug store, corner of Second and Fort
streets, and Joe Poheim's tailoring estab-
lishment in the Bryson-B -Bonebrake block
fitted up by them. Their factory is
located on San Pedro street, corner of
Fifth. : Mr.. Brodersen is the manager at
their salesrooms, corner Of Second and

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT.

Here are many matters for the settler
to look carefully into. The other day a
farmer near Anaheim wrote to the Ga
zette of that town like this when l
was boy determined not to spend my
life where was born, in the inhospitable
climate of Pennsylvania. heard of
California, where they said there was no
winter. 1 came to San Francisco and
found there was no summer at that
place. came here and settled at Pla-
centia and found the climatic paradise l
long dreamed of, but never found be-
FORE" Do not be mistaken. Our climate
can not be equalled on the footstool. The
climate about San Francisco no more
compares with ours than that OF Nebras-
ka compares with the weather in North
ern California. Along the coast it is
bleak, foggy, cold and trying in the ex-
treme to weak constitutions. In the
interior the winters are quite sharp, and
the summers are close and eultry. The
hot nights Of the East with all their en-
ervating, prostrating effects will be found
everywhere in the valleys of the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin rivers.
As the climate in the northern part OF
the State is not 80 agreeable to man,
neither will it permit of the same sue
cess to the farmer that he is sure of in
the south. He is debarred in that section
from the most profitable and fascinating
of industries. He may grow alfalfa to be
sure, but he cannot cut more than half
as much per year from the acre as we
do. He cuts it only about half as often
and gets less to the cutting.
The settler will find when he gets to
the northern part of the State that he
can not buy land a baubee cheaper, all
things considered, than he may buy it
here. If he goes to the choice spots near
San Jose he will pay as high range of
prices as be pays at Santa Ana or Po-
mona. If he goes to the region near
Oakland or Alameda he will be asket
about the same range of prices as rule
near this city or Pasadena. He will be
able to get cheap land there, but he can
do the same here; and in Los Angeles
he will have all the advantage of
our climate and all that is derivable
from section which is gridironed with
railroads, and all that to be had in a Sec
ton where there is church spire and a
school house belfrey at all times in sight.
Here are colleges and libraries, a stable
and highly moral community with all the
safeguards usually thrown aroundlife and
property in such places.
And, finally, here is the climate, here
the soil, here the home market, here the
transportation facilities, here the crops
and the prices for the same, here the
social, religious and educational priv.
