LONG BEACH, CAL. August 6. '99.
Ed. RegiSter-I arrived at my des-
tination, Long Beach, Monday, July
10th, at $50 a. NJ. My trip out here
was very pleasant indeed; fell in COM
pany with many pleasant people COM
ing this way. and was fortunate
enough to miss the wrecks which were
just ahead of our train. The more
see of this State the better like it. 1t
seems strange to NE not to have any
rain, but the people here have become
so accustomed to it that they don't
mind it. Some mornings we have
heavy fogs. which clear away about
ten o'clock. The dry season continues
from April to November.
Last week l visited my relatives in
Cotton and Arlington. 1t is very much
warmer there than here, as it is IN
land. Long Beach has resident pop
ulation of 5000, and at this time of
the year there are from 5000 to 1000
visitors. 1t is very popular summer
resort. The beach has a nine-mile
drive as smooth as glass. The surf
bathing is fine, so they say have
not tried it yet. The pier extends
1900 feet out in the water, where the
angler whiles away many hours.
There is fine pavilion where 5000
people can be seated and 500 people
are often waltzing at one time. a
band dispenses music every afternoon.
We get clans in abundance from the
size of your thumb to that Of your
hand. A party of US went to San
Pedro yesterday, which is the CONNER
cal seaport of the Pacific. 1t has a.
population of 2000 and there is a
lighthouse on Point Firman, about
three miles southwest of San Pedro.
Catalina Island, lies Is miles off the
coast. opposite the bay, which is said
to be favorite resort winter as we'll
as summer-the temperature being so
equal. The temperature changes very
little here day or night. They have
good water system here the water
is piped from an artesian well about
four miles from the city. Our little
shake-up of an earthquake did no dam
age further than to scare some of the
more timid ones. The next day the
surf was so full of kelp and seaweed
that it was difficult to bath. I know
you would enjoy visit here and hope
you may soon. Yours,
VIM. II. X. RROWN.

He professed faith in Christ at the

Jesus.
His funeral was preached In the
church building at Des Arc in the
presence of large congregation from
| these words as text: .Some are fall

To say that Bro Weast loved bis
pastor and did all in his power to en-
| courage him, and was ever ready 10

In the death of Bro. Weast the COM

Sister Weast has lost devoted hus-
band, the children loving father.
We would say to the sorrowing ones.

he is not dead, but sleepeth. Beyond
the river OF death. '.where the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary
are at rest" he waiteth thy coming
and the glorious resurrection of the
body.
The evening shadows gathered and
his long days work is done; he has
reached that heavenly rest beyond the
setting sun. Oh! yes we miss him but
we will not forget him, for his life OF
devotion and words and acts of kind
ness will be constant reminder.
| though he be dead. yet in our mem
ories he llveth.
My dear friends, our loss is great;
feel 1t most keenly. May God give us
grace TO say, Thy will be done,n and
grace to comply with his last request,
''meet me In heaven" where God will
wipe away all tears from our eyes and
where We will never say goodbye.
