ceived and entectsined with stories and re-

hundred visitors who came to congra tulate
her md wish her every happiness.
The visit-rs came in steady stream
from early in the morning until late n
the afteIAOon. Many Of them were Mrs.
Longs relatives. some of whom came from
a distance TO be present at the celebration
Included in the number were three Of the
aged wOman's daughters. three sons. eight
grandchildren. and several great-grand-
children In all, Mrs. Longs living grand
children number thirteen and her living
great grandchildren nine.
One Of Mrs. Longs caller was a bache-

Nearly everyone viii admit that as a

For business men, Office men, and CLERKS
and in fact everyone engaged in sedentary

vegetables are much more healthful.
Only men engaged in a severe out door

As a general rule, meat once a day is

tables should constitute the bulk Of food

But many Of the most nutritious foods
are difficult Of digestion and it is of no
use to advise brain workers to eat largely
OF grains and vegetables where the diges-
tion is too weak to assimilate them
properly.
Il is always best TO get the best results
from our food that some simple and harm
less digestive should be taken after meals
to assist the relaxed digestive organs and
several years experience have proven
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets to be a very
safe. pleasant, and effective digestive, and
remedy which may be taken daily with
the best results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can hardly be
called a patent medicine. as they do not
act on the bowels nor any particular or
gan but only on the food eaten. They
supply what weak stomachs lack pepsin
diastase, and by stimulating the gastric
glands increase the natural secretion OF
hydrochlorie acid
People who make a daily practice of
taking one or two OF Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal are sure to have
perfect digestion which means perfect
health
There is no danger of forming an inju-
riOus habit as the tablets contain abso-
lutely nothing but natural digestives; CO.
caine, morphine, and similar drugs have
no place in a stomach medicine. and
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are certainly
the best known and most popular OF all
stomach remedies

DRYTOwN, July 2, 1900.

Last Sunday afternoon a brush fire
broke out on I. f. Macklin's ranch,
near Drytown, and burned over about
300 acres of fine pasture land of Mr..
Macklin, j. H. Thomas and the Seaton
Mining Company. BY the prompt
action of the people in the near vicinity
by back firing, ETC., great confiagra-
tion was averted, as Mr.. Tuttle's grain
field, on r. M. Ford's ranch, was but
a hundred yards away and directly in
the track of the flames with a strong
west wind blowing. Had the standing
barley once become ignited it would
have become impossible for any one to
get within a quarter of a mile of it, and
no doubt the loss would have been
enormous.

ant Valley to restrain them from dis.
charging the water from the mill into
the supply which feeds the Park Canal.
1t is said that the water from the mill
bears fine blue sediment which is poi
sonous to animals and vegetation for
miles below the mine. On the Park
Canal the grass along the sides of the
ditch has been killed as far as the water
reached it. This in itself would per-
haps be benefit, but where the water
has been turned upon the ground in
irrigation it destroys plant life in the
same way. Cattle have also suffered
from drinking it and some of Avansi-
on's cattle at Pleasant Valley have
been considerably injured.
J. H. L. Tuck of San Francisco is
opening a mine seven or eight miles
west of Placerville on Webber Creek
near the Metcalf place, the sinews of
war being provided by San Francisco
company. At present they are grading
for mill and getting some of the nec-
essary buildings under way. The ore
body is said to be very large and of low
grade. 1t has been named the Expan-
sion mine.
The mill at the Boulder mine Quit
running few days ago on account OF
scarcity Of water. Development work
in the mine will be prosecuted during
the summer and more active operations
resumed when the rains set in again.
Reports from Big Canyon this week
state that work has been permanently
suspended there and that most Of the

them, having made few slight changes c. r.
He has gone with the year, he has gone with
the year,
The friend to my bosom, so sscredly dear
His step on the threkhold no longer Is heard,
Nor the sound Of his voice. like the song Of
bird
Bright links have departed from loves golden
While tears dim the lustre Of those that re-
main;
And Hope fondly weaves in her garland forlorn,
New blossoms for those that are faded and
gone.
de has gone with the year. to return never
more.
Like the days and the weeks and the months
that are o'er;
have left him behind on my march as 60,
The green turf above him, his ashes below.
Before me the path that leads upward to God;
He has joyfully entered the region sublime
While am still linked unto earth, sin and
time.
There Friendship is perfect in union divine,
And Hope is not needed her gsrlsnds to twine;
For the joys Of fruition fill ever the soul,
AS seasons unnumbered eternity roll
He has gone with the year. he has linked with
its hours,
OF Joy and Of sorrow, Of sunlight and showers;
All, all has departed, and left me to come
From my earthly abode TO his heavenly home.
oh Father Divinel as approaches the day
When death to my presence shall call me away,
And the friends that love shall drop softly
tear,
And whisper of me- ''She has gone with the
year"
So guide me in wisdom and teach me thy will,
That the great duties Of life may fulnl,
Till the year which the last Of life's portion
shall be.
A blissful eternity opens with Thee

Mr.. Jacob Vannatter, father of Mrs.
Richtmyer and Mrs. Blair, is in his
ninty y-seventh year. He is mentally
and physically strong. Twice a week
he walks from his residence to the
barber-shop to be shaved, and his step
is quick and elastic. He is a perfect
encyclopedia as to past events and ex-
hibits much interest in current affairs,
having the daily papers carefully read
to him. He also keeps pace with local
matters, mining news etc. In short,
he is one of the most remarkable men
of his age in the State. He is of Ger
man extraction as his name indicates.
He resided in Pennsylvania In early
life, later going to Wisconsin from
which State he came to California.
