A few lines below clipped from the
Triton, Ca, Gazette with reference to
the old soldiers colony will be OF in
terest: "The management received
word that two gentlemen from South
Dakota in the newspaper business,
had shipped their equipment and
would engage in the business as soon

There is scarcely piece of land in
Union county, the title for which Is
safe at the present time. If b fire
should happen to break out in the court
house at night, not single record
could be saved. In the clerks Office
there IL no vault to preserve the rec
ords OF the probate court, and their
loss by fire could not be overestimated
so far az value 10 concerned. 1t strikes
the writer that something should be
done at once to protect the titles Of the
property holders. As it is at present, it
behooves every man to have q deed for
his property in his possession, and even
then, Ia case Of fire, it Is questionable

after which came q recitation BY Miss
Abbie Rome, which was marvelously
wcll rendered. Rev. Mr.. Nichols then
made an address, 1t being his first APP
pearance before union audience. He
united the gospel with temperance,
and pronounced himself an ardent and
vigorous prohibitionist, gloried In tho
cause, and hoped there would be time
when the church Of Christ would rule
the communities. He had an ideal
community, which was one without
profanity, without liquor. and with bus
iness righteousness. These should %
laws-and read every morning before
breakfast. Miss Glcnnie Talcott re-
