THE ORIGIN OF sURNAMEs.
They Were First Used In Normandy
Before the Conquest.

Before the Conquest.
Neither Hebrews, Egyptians, Assyri
ans, Babylonians, Persians nor Greeks
had surnames and in the earliest
period of their history the same may
be said of the Romans, says the Wav
erly Magazine. In course OF time,
however, every Roman citizen had
three names-the praenomen, or per-
sonal name; the nomen, or name OF
the gems or clan, and the cognomen,
or family name, as Publius Corelius
Scipio. Conquerors were occasionally
complimented by the addition of a
fourth name, or agnomen, commemor.
alive of their conquest, as Publius
Cornelius Scipio Africanus.
It Is impossible to state with any
degree of certainty when the modern
system of personal nomenclature be-
came general It has been stated that
the practice Of surnames began in
Normandy and extended to England
after the Norman conquest, but a
document in the Cottonian manuscript
quoted in Turner's History of tho
Anglo Saxons" contains reference to
Invita- HATTIE, a keeper Of bees in
Hathfelda; to Tate HATTIE, his daugh-
ter, mother OF Wulsige the shooter,
and Lulle HATTIE, sister Of Wulsige.
The date Of these records of the
Hates is not to be ascertained, but
they were certainly written before the
year 1866. So far as antiquarians have
been able to discover HATTIE is the
first surname whose existence can be
traced in England. 1t is not improb-
able that the founder OF the HATTIE
family was so called because Of some
unusual or noticeable headgear that
he was in the habit Of wearing.

nesday the working force was increased
to over 60 men. Two carloads of work
horses arrived at lone Tuesday to take
part in the grading operations. 1t is
said that over $50 men with horses and

E. Records, who has been identified
with the movement from the outset, is
in charge of the grading operations,
Surveyors are working in the neighbor-
hood of Mountain Springs, marking
out the route to Martell's station. A
lot of ties have arrived at lone for this
road. The feeling now is that the line
will be put through as quickly as pos
sible, at least to Martell's station.
Whether it will be carried from that
point to Jackson and Sutter Creek
without delay is not so certain. How
ever, if it does not come into the towns
at once, it will still be an important
stride in the county's development.

Death of Miss Ella Francis Dunnine.

Miss Ella Francis Dunning died at
her home in Rich Gulch Sunday last
after an illness of only about "a hours,
the direct cause of her death being
sunstroke. There was terrible forest
fire raging in that vicinity Sunday, and
Miss Dunning, fearing her property
might be destroyed, was engaged in
drawing water from a well to protect
the same when she was overcome with
heat, and when found was in an uncon-
scious condition. She was taken to her
home and DR.. Stuckey of this place
summoned, but upon his arrival he
pronounced her past medical aid.
Ella Francis Dunning was native oil
New Brunswick, Maine, and at the
time of her death was SO years of age.
She came to Rich Gulch in 1855, and
has always made that place her home,
where she has host of friends. The
funeral took place Monday. the re-
mains being inferred in the Rich Gulch
cemetery, and were followed to their
last resting place by large concourse
of friends, F. II. Day of this place
officiating. The deceased leaves one
brother, Charles Dunning of Rich
Gulch, and three sisters, Flora Podesta
OF Jackson, Louisa Dorray of Rich
Gulch, and Matte Seeman of San Fran
cisco to mourn her loss.-Calavera

lone High School.

From the official returns of the
school superintendent the lone high
school was in session 181 days during
last term. The average number of
pupils was 48, and the average daily
attendance As. Two teachers were en-
ployed. The total expenses of running
the school was $2165.6 The balance
in the school fund at the end of the
term was Sl20O98.
A question has been agitating the
people of the high school district,
whether the trustees have power to
estimate the cost of providing a school
building and report the same to the
board of supervisors for the levying of
a special tax therefor, without first
submitting the matter to the people at
an election called for that purpose
This question has been referred to the
attorney general, U. S. Webb, who has
decided that the trustees have such
authority. The trustees want to Sc
cure the present high school building,
paying for the same, not by the issue
of bonds, but in annual instalments
covering several years. They wish to
meet these yearly instalments by a
special tax included in the regular
high school tax, without an election
Of course, the tax rate will be rather
steep for few years, if the money is
raised in that manner. There is con-
siderab BILE agitation in the valley town
over this matter.

Found Dead.

Antoine Matulich, an old and highly
respected resident of Drytown, was
found dead in his dwelling house in
that town on Wednesday morning last
He was alQne in the house at the tipe
of his death. Other members of the
family had gone to their summer home
in the vicinity of Grizzly Flat, Ell
Dorado county, pasturing their cattle
in that region, as is their custom every
year. The old man preferred to stay
at home, and was In his usual health
when they left. He was in the neigh
borhood of 20 years, and the infirmities
of age began to tell upon him. A
neighbor happened to call on the morn
ing in question. and found that he had
passed to the realm Of silence. There
we're no marks or signs to indicate
otherwise than that death was the re-
suit of natural causes. Deceased was q
native of Austria, and possessed of con-
siderable property. Coroner Huberty
went over yesterday to investigate, and
if necessary hold an inquest over the
body.

Charged With Felonious Assault.

Tom Flaherty, a young man living
at Kennedy fiat, was arrested Wednes-
day evening by deputy sheriff Kay and
constable Laverone on charge of as
sault with felonious intent. The vic
tim of this alleged crime is young
lady employed at the Globe hotel,
whose name at this time Is withheld for
obvious reasons. She lives in Sutter
Creek, and frequently rides home to
see her mother. On the evening in
question she was proceeding homeward
on horseback. Near where the old toll
house stood, just beyond the town
limits, she was met by the accused,
who was also mounted on a horse and
coming toward Jackson. 1t is reported
that he seized the bride of the lady g
horse. Twice he pulled her off the
horse, tore her clothes, and otherwise
by language and act, treated her unbe-
comingly. 1t must be said that he
was considerably under the influence of
liquor at the time. There was one or
more witnesses to the affair-or a part
OF it-outside of the principals. The
lady returned to Jackson and told her
story to the officials, and swore to q
warrant accusing the defendant with
the offense above mentioned. He was
arrested in town, and lodged in Jail to
await hearing.

part that the county of Amador did
not see fit to join with us in the mag
nificent Sacramento valley exhibit.
1t is not too late to join with us in the
work we are doing for this portion of
California and trust you will seriously
consider the matter of urging upon the
people of Amador county the advis-
ability of affiliating with the Sacra-
mento Valley Development Association.
This association has now been in ex-
isteuce nearly five years and it has per
formed very great work, not only for
the counties actively associated, but for
the whole northern California. In case
you are interested, and | think you
will be, l will take pleasure in going in
to details regarding the matter, and if
desired l will arrange to come to Jack
son to talk it over with those of your
people who may be interested.

Real Estate.

Not for many years has there been
such an opportunity in this county for
the home-seeker to secure for himself
and family small piece of land at as
reasonable q price as now, and if the
railroad is completed from lone to
Jackson and Sutter Greek, as is now
contemplated, never will the oppor-
tunity occur again. There is disposi-
tiOn on the part of large land owners
to purchase more, but the desirab BILE
farmer, men of families, are slow to
take advantage Of the present oppor-
tunity. When the road is completed
we do not expect to see the prices of
home products advance rapidly, but it
will make a more stable market for
everything. There may be some few
things that the operation of the road
will tend to lessen in value, but there
is Qne thing that will continually in
crease in price and that is land. Every
foot of tillable soil capable of producing
grapes, NoSo1dDICS. VI lrulG Vi duy
character, or lands upon which there
is heavy growth of timber will in
crease fifty per cent during the first
year. So long as the markets depend
upon the operation of the mines so long
will land values be uncertain, but with
railroad communication with the out
side world the value becomes fixed and
prices go up hut never down. One
thousand dollars invested anywhere
within ten miles of the terminus of the
road is worth fifteen hundred dollars
when the road is completed. Now is
the time to invest. Don't wait until
some one else takes advantage of an
opportunity that was open to you and
then condemn them for doing what
you hesitated to do. Find place that
suits you and close the bargain at once.
BY making inquiry at the Ledger office
we may be able to assist you in select
