Come in and make your selections
of the beautiful sets before the rush
at the City Pharmacy.
Mrs Elizabeth Pierce of Butte City,
Montana, arrived in Jackson Christ
mas eve, on visit to her daughter,
Mrs Jos Bastian. She will probably
remain here some time.
George Archer, who left here three
or four years ago, and went to his
relatives in the east, has been the
subject of several inquiries from his
friends back east. He left there some
time ago, and his whereabouts is to
them unknown. Recently, we are
informed, a resident of jackson while
visiting San Francisco saw Archer in
Union square. He could not have
been mistaken, as he knew him we'll.
He did not speak to him, not know
ing at the time that inquiries had
been made concerning him. After so
long a residence in California, he
doubtless could not adapt himself to
the ways of the east, and so returned
to California.
All kinds of harness from SIS up at
Pete Piccardo's.
Mrs I. BENEFITS of San Francisco
is visiting her mother, Mrs Crowgey
for the holiday season. She expects

W. Sobey came up Sunday from
San Francisco, and expects to again
make his home in Jackson, as the
climate of the city does not agree
with his wife's health. Mrs Sobey
has been visiting her parents, Mr. and
Mrs Trevaskis, for some weeks.

Q. D. Peek and wife left for Oak
land Sunday morning, to remain for
a couple of weeks.
Miss Mary Heath, the young lady
who won the first prize in the free
scholarship contest offered by the
Ledger last summer left Tuesday
morning to enter upon a course of
study in shorthand, in the Stockton
Business College. She is thorough
student, and will no doubt acquit
herself creditably in her chosen
study. She hardly expects to get
through with this particular course
in six months, as several other
branches are included therein, such
as spelling, typewriting and law.
Miss Maud Fortner returned to the
Stockton Business College Tuesday,
to resume her study of shorthand.
Miss Lille Lemin is very Ill with
a rheumatic affection. She has been
confined to the bed for the past week.
The event of the new year was cele
brated IN Jackson, less noisiIy than
last year. There was great deal Of
pistol shooting induIged in, but the
explosion of bombs was omitted.
Sleep-coveting citizens we're thankful
for this concession. They think,
however that the practice of firing
off pistols, loaded with ball, or blank
cartridges for that matter, should be
c0ppraccad with tha ctrOnO arm Ot tho
law The celebrators fired IN the air
as rule. But this is long way
from being a harmless pastime. The
balls can be heard falling on the roofs
of houses. Felt roofs are getting to
be popular III this city, and pistol
bullet falling on one of these roofs is
apt to punch hole through it. Let
Us hope under municipal control
there will be no more shooting of
firearms or firing Of bombs permitted.

board of dental examiners held in

Francisco on the second Monday in
May, and in Los Angeles on the Mon
