SANTA ANA, June 18.--The celebration
by the Knights of the Maccabees OF the
twelfth anniversary of their order, in
the /. o. o. F, hall last evening, was a
pleasant affair. The Orange, Anaheim
and Garden grove tents accepted the in
vitation extended to them by the santa
Ana tent, and joined in the good time.
After an initiation, all repaired to the
banquet hall. Music and speaking
added to the enjoyment OF the feast,
and the entertainment closed with
talk from Rev. g. Il. Dye, in which he
gave q short history OF the order, fol-
lowed by words of advice drawn from
the text: "Set thy house in order, for
thou shalt die and not live."
PRAISES ORANGE COUNTY.
Major Truman says and letter to
M. J. Bundy OF this city:
%. must say, however. that
the exhibit OF Orange county In the Osl-
ifornia building is unsurpassed, and |
think, on the whole, it 10 the best OF all,
especially where the agricultural display
is, and where notice your man Joplin
gets in some very earnest work.
Orange county is shown in ten or more
different places in the California build
ing, and looms up beautifully at almost
every turn. congratulate you upon the
good work performed by Mr.. Virgins
for Orange county.
~, Mr.. Joplin writes that it will be better
to send few more oranges, as they decay
rapidly in the buildings. which are reg
ular sweat boxes. He also says:
1t is the big beets and
vegetables and fresh fruits that farmers
care to come Ia and handle, and see that
they are genuine and not magnified.
BY the way, / wish you would
get me set OF the boards they use on
the horses feet on the peat lands and
send them to me there is great deal Of
inquiry about the peat lands and pro-
ductions. If our supervisors will help
ne, and let me have an Orange county
table, we will get all the money back
and more besides, as this exhibit is 60
ing to carry heavy emigration to Cal
ifornis, and want to see Orange county
get her share OF 1t. | think the
tone Of the papers will be different from
this on, as we have the credit of having
the best exhibit on the grounds"
