And there are couple of shacls i

The Lounds drug store calls attention
TO spring garden seeds, of which it now
has full supply. There should be
more gardens in Crescent City, and that
would mean that we would all have a
more varied diet. Any man can have

Postmaster Lounds wants it known
that the outgoing Sunday mail, both
for the north and south, closes at 10:45
a. m. Both mails go to the train at the

arrives about 1:15 p. M, and the post
office is open for one hour after its dis
tribution. This is the only mail re-

there would be single car of seedlings
shipped from Riverside this year. All

damage has resulted both TO the fruit
and the trees, while navals and other

portion in the Riverside and Cotton dis
Iricts than any other.
