and not for the use or benefit of any
other person or persons. That have
not made any agreement by which the
title which l may acquire from the
United States to this land shall inure in
whole or in part to any person or persons
whatsoever. That / settled upon the
said tract of land with the expectation
of purchasing the same from the North

The Third regiment o. N. c., are out
with announcements for grand military
ball and entertainment to be given at
the armory on the evening of April Sd
prox. The cards state that the enter
tainment is ''for the benefit of the Third
regiment band.'' The readers of the
CHRONICLE will recollect that we gave, a
new band uniform, which has been pur-
chased at cost of over $3.50. OF this
sum the state allows 5000. The balance
must be met-by the boys themselves.
The entertainment is intended as an
effort to wipe out this Indebtedness.
The band, as well as regiment, is credit
and an honor to the town. Every lover
of good music and every citizen who feels
a pride in the fact that our band boys
are the best uniformed, handsomest lot
of boys, and best musicians in the state,
will feel it duty and pleasure to con-
tribute to the financial success of the
entertainment. A whole lot of honest,
hard work has been done to bring the
band to its present perfection. This
means money and time given freely.
| The charming open air concerts which
the boys gave last summer and which
they propose TtoY continue during the
coming one, are alone worth ten times
more than is needed to place the. band
o ut of debt. If you cannot attend YOU
/ can buy a ticket and we heartily bespeak
! for, them successful entertainment,

Two new churches are also in course of
erection, one for the Congregationalists
and one the United Brethren, besides a

a meat market. The town has at last
gotta saloon of the original package per-
suasion, but the brothers down that

'Shoe socials are now all the rage in
town. All the girls go behind a screen
and stick their shoes ont underneath its
lower edge. The young men then select
their partners by chalking their initials
on the shoes.-TacaviUe Enterprise.
That will do for Vacaville or ordinary
California grown girls, but the scheme
would not work here. The Dalles girls,
be it understood, wear shoes of the Gin

room for young man to chalk his in
