Editor Morning Call: The managers cf
the SoBoma and Marin Agricultural Society
lave done very graceful thing in inviting
all the school children Of the county to
attend the fair al Petaluma next Tuesday
free of charge. Furthermore they have
made arrangements with the officials of the
San Francisco and North Pacific Railway
Company to transport the children there
and back for twenty-five cents the round
trip. And then, TO crown the kindness, as
it were, the invitations are sent TO the chill
dren individually. 1t is very pleasing to
little Miss Smith or young Master Brown to
receive through the mail letter addressed
to themselves. In, losed are two tickets or
slips. One contains the information that
the bearer, Mary Smith, is regular at
tendant at my school,, and is entitled to
purchase rOund-trip ticket to Petaluma
and return, account of the District Fair, for
twenty-five cents, and signed by the
teacher OF the pupil. The other certifies
that Mary Smith is a regular attendant at
Healdsburg school. and is entitled 10 free
admission to the Petaluma Fair, 25th day of
August, 1891. and signed by the teacher.
Children who may be overlooked can secure
tickets by applying for them to their re-
spectiye teachers.

dryers are full of boys and girls of every
age, working like beavers. 1t is amusing to
hear item compare notes of how much they
have made during the week. One young

81 80 per day, and there are dozens who
make from 81 to 81 % six days in the week.
The. pay Toll at the Magnolia Cannery
was S2400 last week. OF course this is dis
trbuted among several hundred persons,
but when there are from four to six men,
bers Of one family Oh the pay roll, as is
frequently the case, the to tai sum that faia-
lily receives every Monday (pay day. Is no
insignificant amount.

friend, Mrs. Burris, OF Healdsburg, during
the week, and returned TO her home in San

Very sincere were tile congratulations re-
ceived by Mr.. w. b. Whitney from his
friends on his temperance upon our streets
this week, almost entirely restored to health.
Mr.. Whitney was one of our most substap-
tial and popular business men a year ago,
but too close application to his dulirs UNDER
mined his health and he was obliged to re.
llnquish all business interests, a victim of
that inevitable complaint of all overworked
persons-nervous prostitution.
