Even smart drummer may sometimes
get 'left." In country hotel in Southern
California two of these knights OF the
road met last week, each having special
line of soap. The better dressed of the
two represented the famous Dinmore soap
and his comrade had spurious imitation
OF it. The agent of the genuine article

Ocean View. although part of the city
proper and within forty minutes travel
by electric or steam cars from the business
center of San Francisco, is looked upon IS
a suburban town. Its citizens are, how
ever. averse to the popular idea and they
do not hesitate to say so.
While strolling through it one day last
week l met gentleman who has been
located there for several years. and who
has accumulated considerable portion OF
the worlds goods, in addition to a popular
name. His name is David Hughes. and
be supplies the citizens of the place with
groceries and everything else that is nsu-
ally to be found in a general store. Mr..
Hughes, after referring to the substantial
improvements that nave been going on
there during the past three years, in
formed me that land is being sold at very
reasonable prices, and that many business
men in the city will likely build there in
the near future.
Another gentleman who commands the
respect OF the people in that locality is A.
S. Carmichael. physician of some Ie-
nown. He also noted the many improve
ments which have been carried out OF late.
The doctor has been in constant practice
since 1865, and although he has been at
Ocean View but short time he has numer-
Gus patients and many friends
There is considerable trouble between
Millie Christine, the double headed
woman, now receiving the public at OH
Market street, and the proprietor of the
hotel at which she is stopping. He claims
board for two, although she Is but one
physically. She eats with two heads and
her liability to the hotel will, no doubt,
have to be determined by the courts.
