a Case of Prudent Charity-Athietic
Club Matters.
POMONA, Jan. 20-Pomona has been
visited by several commercial travellers,
or in plain words which are more sug-
gestive, at least to us ''old timers"
drummers, for the last two or three
days. among them our friend and former
townsmsn, 3, A. Belden.
Pomona ''goes ahead" once more this
time it is a shipment OF nursery stock
awav out in darkest Africa" at least
to the southern portion of it.
There is new, nice looking stock OF
fruit teeeE, ornamental shrubbery, ETC.,
from the San Dimas district now on sal
in town.
Second street still looks like lane
prairie passway--during a lengthy wet
spell.
The old James Armour corner is again
to be occupied; the store now belongs to
Andrew Osgoodby, we believe.
When it comes to the test, this COM
munity can be as charitable as the best
of them, and thar, too, in q quiet. I'M
ostentatious way. A few days since a
family in the very lowest depths of
poverty, want and sickness, seven in
number, five little children, an aged
father of 20 or more years, and the
mother, though much younger, in the
very last stage of consumption, all
crowded into an ordinary farm wagon,
arrived in this place, trying to make
their way to Arizona in search of health
for the dying mother. Fortunately they
were noticed by few good Samaritans,
who rented a house, brought in clothing,
bedding, food, baby carriage for the
baby and several dollars in cash, be-
sides ministering to them in various
kind and gentle ways, all of which has
relieved them for the present, and will
no doubt be posted upon the proper side
of the ledger on that last general reck-
oning up of mans balance sheet.
There will be three or four different
entertainments of public nature during
the coming week, church and otherwise.
Misses Hadie Glasscock and Elma
Smith are at present guests OF Mrs. j..
D. Oason of our city.
G. P. Thompson came in on No. 20
yesterday afternoon.
T. S. Oldham of the La Verne settle
ment was down today.
Mr.. Newerf has returned from the
east.
Miss Belle Toplife ID once more at
her Pomona home.
Mr.. Clyde Brasher ran in on the No.
20 last night.
If you want either the Daily or the
Weekly HERALD, subscribe through this
Office, First National Bank building, on
fret floor facing Second street.
Hearing OF the growing strength OF
the Athletic club of this city. and the
fitting up of the club rooms, the HERALD
reporter thought to make visit to that
institution as an Assignment" OF his.
The club occupies quarters in the
Union block. The rooms are splendidly
fitted up in the matter of the necessary
paraphernalia for producing strength OF
muscle, expanse OF chest, glowing face
and plenty OF enjoy ment. Pomona can
boast Of as well-equipped and prosper
GUS an organization of its kind as is to
be found in these semi-tropic coast coun-
ties, "Ths Pleiades of the Republic" as
We have been pleased to be called.
Organized December 10th of last year
with membership OF 20, so names can
now be counted upon the roll.
