The Earthquake

Quite a severe shock of earthquake was felt in the Valley on last Wednes- day afternoon about 4:25. Quite lot of damage was done to the adobe build ings ill Brawlev The Imperial Valley Bank and Bungalow Hotel were serl- ously shattered, and Varney Bros. store was wrecked. A residence belonging to D. D. Pellet was also wrecked and sev- eral other buildings badly cracked. At Imperial only slight damage was inhict- ed, such as knocking off plaster and cracking the walls in the brick build ings. The Hotel Alamo at Holtville, was quite severely shaken and cracked !, The other buildings were not seriously injured! No damage is reported from CaleXco. Here i'll El Centro we all were able to notice iJ without great eff fort, and while the shock was on we felt sure things were going to happen, yet there is no damage whatever to report. Not wall was cracked, nor was there any plaster loosened Two bottles of ketchup were shaken off the shelves of the Valley Mercantile company, and some Breakfast Food boxes fell in Rum sey's store. No damage resulted, as even the ketchup bottles didn't break. But it was quite lively shake just the same. The news from outside, how ever, is of the most appalling disasters. The entire city of San Francisco is re- ported destroyed. by the worst earth quake of modern times, thousands of lives lost already, and the hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants cut off from water supply.
 Los Angeles papers bring reports of most awful horrors in the stricken city and report San Jose, Oakland, Napa, Hollister, Salinas, Gilroy, Santa Rosa and all the towns within, 100 miles of San Francisco as being in ruins from the terrible cataclysm. No serious dam age is reported in Southern California but full reports have not yet reached us. The entire country as far east as Wash ington City, D. C., is reported as feeling earthquake shocks on Friday morning, but no great damage is believed to have resulted so far. The Imperial Valley is fortunate to suffer so little.

Married

MT. True Vencill, the genial young banker of El Centre was married in Los Angeles the l4th inst, to Miss Arley Buckley, of Pearl City. Illinois.
 The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Loofburrow at the home of w. H.. Graf cousin of the bride. Like many others their attachment was formed at a co-educational institution where they were classmates.
 Mr. Vencill is very highly esteemed by all in his new home town and if pos sible his choice of a wife will intensity that esteem, as Mrs. Vencill is without doubt one who will prove to be credit to any community.
 A party of serenaders with various musical instruments repaired to the home of the newly married pair on Tues day eve and snatches of old familiar songs were waited upon the gentle breezes.
 "The moon is untitled in the clouds
 That veil loVer's star; And here beneath thy balcony
 touch my light guitar" j"
 The bride and groom gracefully ae- knowledged the compliment and all went home with hearts full of tender recoleetions which only cupid can awaken.
