the Township of AnaIy.

Editor Morning Call: Analy Township,
of which Sebastopol is the metropolis, re-
ceived the first premium, 500, for the best
display of products at the Petaluma Fair
last week. The exhibit was under the
supervision of SebastOpol Grange, and was
a credit to the grangeTs and to their town
ship. We never saw finer display Of
fruits tnan was III tnio array, uotH 40 ~
size and quality, and the great variety added
much to its MISUNDERSTANDING was
there from an orange to an apple. The
earlier fruits were preserved In their
naturalness in a clear liquid in handsome
glass Jars, while the later varieties were
displayed on plates. Among the growths
of abnormal size we noticed hill OF coin,
stalk, ear and "full corn in the ear, from
the ranch of c. P. Davis. Green Valley,
who, by the way, is brother OF the late
Andrew J. Davis, whose will is now being
contested at Butte City, Mont, and VINO LETT
an estate of over 81, 100000. Mr. Davis Is
nm old-fashioned farmer, and has never de-
parted from the original plan OF plantlns
with the hoe for the more modern metnols,
and it may be the large ears Tor when MS
ranch is famous are TO some extent due to
that fact Then there were TWO headS Oh
cabbage from the garden OF +. a. Jansen,
weighing respectively thirty three ana
thirtv-nine pounds, and some peaches from
viii Marshau's place that were beauties;
Uncle Jimmy Greg5on, one oil our honOred
pioneers, was represented by some huge
turnips. Mrs. C.. Wightman's display Ol
sun-dred fruits deserves especial mention,
as does also the display OF flne wines by 4:
Scbirmer. Analy never fails to carry on
the ribbon when the products Oh her rien
loamy soil are displayed. Aside from the
township exhibit was a farm display tio
the large ranch of J. burlington, Green
Valley. This was attractive, especially so
for the exhibit of silk culture by Mrs. r. IN
its various stages from the worm to the
beautiful yellow cocoon.
Major i W. Sullivan, an old pioneer Of
this Coast, and for fOrty-two years a resi-
dent OF this vicinity, died at his home on the
24th ult, at the age of 81 years, and was
buried the following Wednesday. his vile
died about six years ago. but the eleven
children whom they had reared survive MIN.
His loneliness since his wlle's death, COM
bined with his age. caused his life to gradu-
elIy flicker out like the light OF we'll
burned candle. The old man had won
many friends by his quiet, gen temanly
Ways and his remains were followed to
their last resting place by large concourse.
The ranks of the old pioneers are thinning !;
but few more remain In this vicinity, which
was among the first points OF settlement IN
the State. We miss their faces from our
midst. We always feel like taking oil our

fruit union, an organization for handling
dried fruit and shipping to Eastern markets.
on n similar plan to that OF the green fruit
shippers. They propose to establish ware
house for the sorting, labelling, ETC., OF the
dried fruits. Their aim is 10 establish a
reputation at the very beginning, SO that IN
the future there will be no back tall" about
the quality OF fruit sent out.
The shutting down OF the. Santa Rosa
cannery Saturday threw our frut-growers
into a state of uneasness, as they had large
quantities of the fruit here contracted, but

by their shipping the contracted fruit to the
