The Bad Effect of Communities Going
Back on Themselves.

The Bad Effect of Communities Gotno
Back on Themselves.
The following from the Petaluma
Courier should not be without interest to
Sacramento people just now:
Everyone in Petaluma is familiar with
the task, finally successful, of securing
for our city most desirable new manu-
featuring industry in the line of starch
factory.
ut Is very unpleasant to be compelled
to state that our citizens have not done
their part so well as the starch mem
have done theirs. The mill and plant
are ready for operation and are now only
awaiting the time when the new crop
shall reduce the present high price of DO
tatoes to figure which shall warrant their
use for making starch.
The building and machinery are better
than these gentlemen originally agreed to
supply. They have more than kept their
faith with Petaluma. Our people have
not done so well by them. \ great many
of the subscribers have not yet paid their
subscriptions. They should now come
forward without another days delay, and
thus prevent serious damage to the fair
name of Petaluma in the matter of keep
ing her faith with manufacturers whom
we desire to have locate with us.
"A very little in the line of failure to
keep good our promises to men of this
kind will give our city very black eve
among men who are seeking a new Ioca-
ton for manufacturers

los Angeles Times. i


Some time since the Times announced
the organization of shoe manufacturing
company at Alhambra, and it now affords
us pleasure to learn that the factory is
thoroughly under way, and that first
class goods of home manufacture are be-
ing offered to the people of Southern
California. The hope of any country is
in the upbuilding of manufactures
creation of complete articles OF com
merce out of raw material. This the
sagacious gentlemen at Alhambra are do
ing. They began without any prelimi-
nary flourish of trumpets, and have gone
forward in a practical and business-like ke
way, and it is to be hoped that the mer-
chants and consumers of this section will
stand by them in their laudable effort to
keep a portion of the money in circula-
ton at home that has heretofore gone East
for boots and shoes. The success of this
enterprise means the establishment of
others; it means an influx of thrifty and
industrious workmen to help swell the
wealth of the county, and hence is de-
serving of the most liberal support. May
the Alhambra Shoe Manufacturing Com
pany wax strong and be long-lived

AN HONEST MAN.
How He is Paying Off Outlawe

How He is Paying Off OutIawed
Debts.
The following, from the Oakland T5ib-
tne Of May 18th, is just tribute to an
honest man:
In 1888 William I. Coleman, one of the
pioneer merchants of San Francisco. be-
became financially involved and was
crowded to the wall. The failure was a
bad one, and many harsh things were
said about the veteran merchant Since
then Mr.. Coleman has been retrieving
his lost fortunes in ether fields, and al
though all his old debts have been COM
promised or outlawed he is now paying
them off dollar for dollar. Such instances
Of business honor are very rare, and their
rarity makes them all the mora praise
worthy. During his long and active life
in San Francisco, Mr.. Coleman figured
conspicuously on several occasions as the
friend of law and order at the most crit
ical junctures in the city's history, but
there is nothing that he ever did which
will rebound so much to his credit as this
voluntary act of wiping out old debts
which he might have avoided paying if
he so chose.

taken for diseases originating in impure

AYERS Sarsaparilla, as thousands can
attest, it cannot be truthfully applied &c

pose upon You, as "iast as good as
Ayers" Take Ayers Sarsaparilla and
Ayers only, if you need blood-purifer

This medicine, for nearly fifty years,
has enjoyed reputation, and made a
record for cures, that has never been
