old-time friends were very glad to
welcome her back, although disap-
pointed to learn that il was only for
a short visit. She is mt present a
guest Of the Hollands.
Geo. Dunster, son Of Mrs. Farne-
man. arrived from Nevada City,
California, on the Sth and departed
again for his home on the 18th.
Mr.. Dunster is Sheriff of Nevada
county, Cal, and very much wished
TO remain with his mother until she
had taken a decided turn for the
better and was far on the road Ia
recovery, and nothing but the most
urgent matters Of business pertain
ing to his Office induced him To re-
turn home. Mr.. Dunster was very
much pleased with our camp, and
the outlook for the future, and
hopes to be able to return soon,
when he will make a longer stay
and have more leisure to look over
the country.
A meeting Of the citizens of this
place was held here on the evening
of the 10th to organize and take

An adjourned meeting of the or
ganization was held on the evening
Of the 18th, when the committees
presented their preliminary reports,
which showed the following results:
The committee of arrangements had
partially completed plans for pic
mic during the day, with races con-
sisting of one first-class horse race;
old mans race, no one allowed To
compete under fifty years of age;
one free for all, go-as-you-please
race; one childrens' race; one sack
race, free for all; rifle shooting
match, 100 yards; baseball game,
picked mines.
Geo A. Williams, superintendent
of the Yuba mine, was appointed
Orator Of the Day. The Declara-
ton Of Independence is to he read by
Gardner Adams, and Chas. LANCE
was appointed Marshal of the Day.
The finance committee reported
$l69.50 collected and $27 pledged,
with quite a number to hear from,
which is, think, quite a liberal
amount for Atlanta, considering the
small population.
| see ! have credited the commit
tee of arrangements with work done
by the committee ON sports, and
will correct that mistake right here
by saying that the programme of
races was handed in to the secre-
tary by the committee on sports.
The meeting after concluding its
regular business and unanimously
passing a resolution cordially invit-
ing the citizens of Rocky Bar and
vicinity to be present and celebrate
with us the National Anniversary,
adjourned until June 2Sth. The
different committees, | think, show
by the results Of a few days labor.
that we may look forward 10 a
grand time on the coming holiday.
Major Williams is at present
absent in HALEY but is expec ted
here in ample time to prepare him
self to crate on that occasion. Mr..
Adams is sedulously studying
manuscript that looks very much
like the Declaration of independ-
anee, and Mr.. LANCE is doing his
best to acquire military gait.
! visited the property of the At
lanta Company few days ago in
company with Frank Cochrane, the
foreman, and although work is just
now in allegiance, it is expected that
before long things will be in shape
for starting operations on the ground
on big scale. The tunnel is in
over two hundred feet and the
breast shows every indication of
good ore within a very short dis
lance.
On the evening Of the 18th
grand ball was given here in honor
of Miss Ella Murphy, at which the
Atlantaites turned out in full force,
the younger male portion of the
community being especially desi-
rous to appear at their best and
each one of them being conspicu-
ously dressed, like the lamented
McGinty, in his best suit Of clothes.
The music was furnished by Geo.
Newton, and his daughter Lottie
also contributed. The dance was
continued unintcrruptedly until
midnight, when a fine spread was
given in the hall, and after all had
