expert testimony Of Surveyor, l L
Beverage, who had been employed
by Mr. Chestnut to locate another
route from that one proposed by
the Commission, which entered the
public road over other lands than
hers. Without entering into
regular argument of the case, the
ground was pretty thoroughly
gone over BY the attorney, and the
law points were fully set out, after
which the Board Of Supervisors
made known that they had decided
to grant J A Chestnut private
road over Mrs j A Chestnut's land
on the proposed location of the
Commission, and that they con.
sidered the amount Of $500 as
damage to Mrs Chestnut, fixed by |
The Commission, as inadequate, and
they increased the sum to $4,000. |
which decision Mrs Nancy j Chest
nut was dissatisfied with, and she,
through her attorney, gave notice

Christmas Week

Ihe MONDAY SEASON. 10 III" ouU
memory, and, thanks to a kind
Providence, very pleasant one to
most of us. While there was moth
ling unusual in the form of diver
sion, the season as whole was
comparatively free from accidents,
excessive imbibing, etc, and most
of us are entering upon the new
year with no marked, visible blem-
ishes, moral or physical, due to
strenuous or misdirected ideas OF
celebrating"
One of the pleasing features OF
Christmas is the home. coming, the
reunion Of families, and this was
enioyed in full measure this year,
there being many boys and girls
returning whose names we failed
to get, but whose week at home
was the occasion Of a two-fold hap
piness.
The Christmas tree and exercises
at the Methodist church came off
as fore.told, on the evening OF the
25th. and the house was packed,
While the effort was viewed, by
those having it in hand, as mod.
est one, no similar exercise in
many years has been more highly
enjoyed or complimented. The
children of the Sunday school, FOR
whose benefit the effort was made,
and who were the chief actors, did
their part admirably, their music
being especially bright and good.
At the close Of the lively little
song, Santa Claus is Coming" and
while the clapping Of hundred
tiny hands was choing through
the crowded auditorium, the good
old patron-sainS entered to the mu-
sic of jingling sleigh-bells and dis
tributed the gifts from the two
trees.
On Friday, the 9th, the Masonic
banquet was given at Hotel Mon
terey, and brought to town a large
number Of persons. The pro-
gramme arranged for the dav was
carried out. although many men,

Joy the II o'clock discourse BY Rev
A. A. Walker. While Mr.. Walker
chose to designate this as a sermon
to Masons," rather than sermon
on Missionary" it was most able
and appropriate, and was greatly
enjoyed by the audience present.
At 1:30 the craft, with many in.
vited guests, assembled at Hotel
Monterey where a few hours Of
real pleasure-social and CASTRO
enjoyed. Oysters
we're served, bountifully and well,
and the pleasant, prompt and salts
factory manner in which Mr.. and
Mrs. Crummett served the crowd of
something like 100 guests, was not.
ed and appreciated by all.
Aside from these two public
functions, there were, from time to
time, during the festive season, the
usual number of socials, dinin9s.
etc., which, with the ever-present
pyrotechnics, the shouts of the
small boy and the booming of the
"baby-wakers," constituted the
chief features Of our merry Christ
