The other night an engineer of the
Danville, Macksville and Southwestern
Railroad dreamed that large rock had
fallen on the road near Leatherwood
Creek, n. c., and that his engine, having
come in contact with it, was broken to
pieces. The dream so impressed him
that he declined to make his usual trip
over the road in the morning until he
had telegraphed to ascertain if there was
anything the matter at Leatherwood
Creek. An answer was flashed back that
a huge rock had fallen on the track with
in few feet of the identical place
dreamed about, and that although hands
had been at work for hours to remove it,
the track was still obstructed.

About


A big trade in Brushes--a1l kinds
justifies Us in buying the greater por-
ton of our stock, particularly the finer
sorts, in France from the best manu-
facturer in the world. Of course this
helps to make the low prices, which in
turn bring about the increasing con-
sumption of these goods. Such conf
dence have we in our prices and quail
ties as being unmatchable, that we
have our name branded on all Brushes
imported specially for our use.
Special attention is called to the

J. F. Crank-We have carefully

have decidedly increased.
H. A. Unruh-It is wonderful the way
people are coming into this county. At
Santa Anita there is constant stream
of new corners who are buying 10 and 20
acre tracts. Another feature is that the
old settlers in the vicinity are daily pick
ing up choice locations. AS far as / can
learn this is more or less the case all

the seedy-]ooking person who comes in,
looks neither to the right nor left, goes
to the shelves. finally finds what he
is after, asks the price, pays for it with
out murmer, and sometimes buys
others besides. Then there's the we'll
dressed, cityfied-looking man who holds
his nose at an angle of As degrees,
affects the airs of millionaire,
and after cavilling at the books
because they are secondhand, finally
picks up 25 center and tries to reduce
it to 20 cents. He's the bane of my

Well, she is after novel, and this town

without murmur.

WORLD OF SPORT.
California Fast Yearling Mckinney

Naifornia raSt 1earling-Mckinney
to Trot Today.
Four yearlings have trotted in 2:30 or
better. California has produced all
four. The fastest yearIings in the world
are Bell Bird 2:261, Frou Frou 2:2S1a,
Athadon 2:291a and Freedom 2:2934.
All these records were made over the
kite-shaped track, except Freedom, who
made his record last year. All the
other records were made in the. past
month. Ten years ago Kinda Rose elec-
trified the trotting world by lowering
the yearing record to 1859.
x*x
The worlds fastest trotter and PAGER
are now at the Stockton track. Both
Sunol and Direct were bred in California
and it is remarkable fact that both
these world beaters contested their first
race over the Los Angeles track.
~*x
If the conditions are favorable there
will be some wonderful performances at
Stockton today. 1t will not surprise
the writer to see the eastern-bred
2-year-old colt, Monbars, go a mile in
2:16. If Direct has recovered from his
trip across the continent, he is very lia-
BILE to cut the pacing record down to
2:O4. If Mckinney goes today the
writer shall expect him to take mark
of 2:1034. This may seem an extrava-
CANT statement, but if Durfee's horse is
as good as when he left Los Angeles
something will drop. The 4-year-old
stallion record is at the mercy of Nc
Kinney.
wx~
The yearlings at the Stockton track
are fast trotting up to Bell Birds record
OF 2:2614. On Saturday Athadon made
a record OF 2:291s. Today Millard San
ders drove the Sydney yearling filly
Frou-Frou,. owned by valensin, in
2:2S34, making a mile without break.
1t was a great performance for a filly
weighing but 6l5 pounds and drawing
full weight. Driver Sanders held her
down we'll for strong finish, going to
the quarter in 391a to the half in :l61s,
three-fourths in 1885,, and finishing
gamely, but under the whip, in 2:2s34.

Their Cases Still Before the Grand
Tury

The grand jury is still investigating
the Tonner-Nichols episode at Pomona.
A number OF witnesses have been ex-
amined, but so far no testimony has
been given which is sufficient to admit
of an Indictment.
Other witnesses which are to be heard
from may change the situation, how
ever. Judging from what dickey birds
sing. and their songs are generally
reliable, if the evidence will at all justify
an indictment against Mr. Tonner, that
devious person will have to stand trial.
The dickey bird which was singing yes
terday gave the HERALD to understand
that the jury was willing, very willing.

before the complaint against Mr.. Head
was filed the secretary of the Sunset
Loan and Trust company wrote to the
man who is the prosecuting witness
stating that the company stood ready to
quit claim any land which, through any
error, had been included in the trust
deed given by Heald to the company.
There has been no attempt to extort any
money from land owners, or to cloud
any title, and his friends are sure that
Mr.. Heald will be speedily acquitted.
