PORTLAND CEMENT.
A Brief Description OF an Important
Southern California Industry.

A Brief Description OF au Important
Southern California Industry.
Millions OF dollars have been drawn
from this coast by Europe for Portland
cement. The California Portland
Cement company has extensive cement
works, aud aims to remedy this great
and constant money drain by producing
o superior quality of Portland cement,
and selling it at less price than the for
eign. Its works at Cotton have capac-
ity of 200 barrels of Portland cement
daily and 30v barrels Of fns Building
lime, besides broken stone for con-
crete, marble dust, etc. These works
have now been in successful operation
eight months, and have sold 5000 barr
rels o! cement, 10000 barrels of lime,
and other products. and has many cred
liable samples OF cement work in some
OF the best buildings in this city. and
engineering work elsewhere, to refer to.
1t has quietly gone ahead without any
flourish OF trumpets, trusting to home
encouragement and patronage by every
one having the beat manufacturing in
terests OF Southern California at heart.
This com pany fully warrants its Portland
cement to bs equal to any foreign inn
ported brand. Any inquiries and in
formation will be cheerlully given at

'Ill be darned II l know what We are
going to do about it," remarked Mr..
Vincent Diggs. az he sat on the porch of
Mr.. Camel Hence's saloon, where he
could command full view up and down
the one street of Lsonardtown, St.
Mary'a county, Maryland.

listening to an oracle, and from the in.

ing; an informal one, where everyone
says what he pleases. 1t was marked
besides by the indiscriminateness not
found in any other neeting-indiacrimi-
nateness in names, dress, businsss and
lack of business. There was the village
butcher, who stopped to pay his re~
spects to Hence as he was making his
rounds; several court officers; lawyers,
who made the saloon the ants-room to
their offices lying little further down
the street; the proprietor OF the dry
goods store, stealing an hour from busi-
ness several farmers who had come to
the steamboat wharf and had come to
the saloon to get tho latest news; and
the regular frequenters who day after
day might always be found on the porch
OF the saloon. and whose only business
was to be witnesses and jurors.
Mr.. Camel Hence's saloon was the
County Forum, 30 to speak. Here,
county news and business we're discussed,
bargains were talked over before being
acted upon; grievances\ were discussed
and afterwards carried in court. 1t was
the county exchange and the court
house lobby. Steamboat day was day
OF extraordinary interest. because, with
new supply of liquor, came intelligence
OF the outside world by way of Baltimore.
The porch always contained certain
characters who combined to make it
o popular Office. Lawyers and mer-
cnants alter transacting necessary busi-
nets Immediately held public recep-
tions and the active life OF some old citi.
zens consisted in migrations to and
from Mr.. Camel Hence's.
But by far the most important ohar-
ncter OF all was Mr.. Vincent Diggs.

oi father of the county. When business
did not call him away he sat on ths
porch. only changing his position from
the front where he sat facing the back
of the chair. to the wall against which
he leaned his chair and sat with feet
off the floor and hands folded over his
round belly. His characteristic .p-
pesrance was his roundness, short round
legs joined to an egg-ahaped body on
the small end of which was placed
good sized round head. His face was a
blank, with its surface broken by short.

with colorless eyebrows and a straight
little mouth. The remnants of hair

only laugh was few more wrinkles at

When Lydia E. Pinkham first sent out
the news of her great discovery, there
was no lack of harsh speech from those
whose practice and opinions she set at
defiance.
But when young girls by the hundreds
were absolutely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, then the
tongues of the traducers were stilled, and
faith was allowed to live in the hearts of
the people.
Young girls are subject to this trouble.
1t robs them of the buoyancy of youth.
1t makes all effort distasteful.
1t causes retention and suppression of
menses, leucorrhpa, severe headache,
waxy complexion, depression, weakness,
loss of appetite and interest.
Certainly mothers ought to know that
these are all symptoms of the one cause
of nearly all the suffering that comes to
women; and to save their daughters
ought to begin treatment at once.

GRANGE INTERESTS.
Although there was not as many from
out of town present at the meeting of
Fairfield County Pomona, last week yet it
was very pleasant and enjoyable. There
were four candidates admitted to the
fifth degree and three took the obliga-
ton. After the collation. at Grange hall,
the Grange was called to order at $50.
The program consisted of debate, the
subject being "Resolved that the govern
ment control of railroads, and municipal
control of street railways, gas, water, is
preferable to private corporations"
The subject was well handled, Mr. Birge
of Greenfield Hill leading the affirmative
and Henry Brakeman of Oronoque the
negative. The committee decided that
the weight of argument was with the
negative. After recitation by Miss
Lefty Sagendorf, State Lecturer Hopson
of Wallingford made short address on
Grange work in the state. The program
closed with paper by the master, j. 81.

Then come in here and see the same
