In the matter of Mr.. Charles Hauver
having bought the John Forney property
l was misinformed. 1t seems that the
membership of the Ananias club herea-
bouts has increased beyond the safety
line. Following is what Mr. Hauver him
self has to say about the affair: 81 went
out to look over Mr.. Forney's property,
and was very much pleased with every
feature of it except the location. 1t is a
nice little home. The lard is clean of
stones, is fertile ard under good fencing,
but it is not favorably located for mar
keting the products intend to grow, l
therefore did not buy it." 1t is now re-
ported that Mr.. Forney has sold to an
other party.

Mr.. Thomas f. Lycett has about COM
pleted and is now occupying one of the
best appointed, most attractive and in
vitiny homes in this end Of the comfy.
In the construction of this Lombard st.
home Mr.. Lycett did not much regard
the cost, and especially are the sanitary
features Of the premises as nearly per-
feet as can be. On an adjoining lot Mr..

struction brick dwelling destined to be
purely Oriental, intellectually, ard a
decided innovation upon the style of those
we are accustomed to.

The horsepower vehicle travelling pub
lie of this community have become quite
impatient with the demands of foreign
nabob automobilists. They have come to
regard them as highway inlpostors and
henceforth may not be in humor to ac-
cord to these recklessly driven monsters
the right Of way at all times and under
all circumstances. Foro local autoists,
who when occasion arises, drive their ma
chimes slowly aid carefully and show a
proper regard for the pleasure and safety
of those with whom they come in contact,
they will continue to show highest respect
and extend that courtesy due to all law
abiding citizens. After all who among
us would object to any sort of vehicle
passing over our ideal macadam road if
safely driven.
Miss Rheua Wilhide recently lost a
horse valued at 500.
On two afternoons of the past fortnight
Harry Hetterly angled from the waters
of upper Owens creek 80 bass averaging
eight inches in length. Who in this or
any baliwick can beat that catch?
The unanimous verdict Of our citizens
is, that in the death of Mr.. James w.
Baltzell we lose one of our very best res
idents-a rare christian character.
Clay Putnam has been on the sick list
during the past week but is now conva-
lescing.
