HEALDSBURG NOTES.
Getting Ready for the Grand
Parade-Hop. Fields.
Special correspon dence to THE CALL.

"Oh, yes. We all will be dar." That
| homely, old-fashioned song has occurred to
me often this week when hear on all sides
| the enthusiasm our people feel about the
| celebration of the Native Sons. We could
not afford to miss anything so grand and I'M
posing as the parade will be next Admission
day in San francisco.
The Native Sons and Daughters, their
sisters, their cousins and their aunts, In
fact. all their relations, have very salts
factory rates from the San Francisco and
| North Pacific Railroad. Their tickets are
| good for five days, for the fare one
way-S2 25-but on their ticket must be
| written the relationship the bearer holds to
a Native Son. The rest of the pleasure
seekers can get tickets Tuesday morning,
| September 9th, good to return same day,
or first train September 10th, for ST 10. We
cannot complain of the rate, but the CUES
| ton is, why could they not include the
Monday afternoon train? As it is. We will
| hardly have time TO dispose OF our shawl
straps, change a collar or wipe the dust
from our faces before it will be time TO get
| in position to enjoy the parade.
| The Headsburg brass band, which by
| the way is justly celebrated throughout
the county for its excellence, will accom-
pany our parl0r. We feel that we have
| reason to be proud of the handsome, noble

There is a dearth OF local news. Every
one is still very busy. Stained hands, torn
clothes and scratched faces seem the order

dollars coming in so fast? One young lady

our young ladies are as ambitious as they

Healdsburg has its representative in the

Some work for fun, some to benefit the;r
health, and the majority for the money they
earn. Miss Jennie, for instance, wishes a
more expensive cloak than papa thinks she
