CHURCH BELL FOR LOMITA
THE LATEST ACQUISITION
Proud Residents of New Town to
Ring in the New Year

over 400 Lomita people and friends
attended the church social of the Lo-
mita Union Christian church, held in
the town hall and enough was realized
to buy and pay for a bell for the Lo-
mita Union Christian church. This bell
will be installed at once, and Lomita
will have it's own bell to ring the old
year out and the new year in.
The town hall was built about year
ago and at that time was considered
of sufficient size to meet all require
ments for quite a number of years. 1t
has already been found entirely too
small to accommodate the large num-
bers of Lomita people who attend the
various sOcials and meetings held there
from time to time.
Lomita is only ten minutes ride from
San Pedro and will become the sub
urban home section of the harbor city.
The tract adjoins the shoestring strip
and a good roads boulevard is now
building through Lomita. This will
be a direct connection between San
Pedro and Los Angeles and assures a
fine road for auto or team.

The holiday season has not inter-

in Los Angeles nor i'm the suburbs.
While the retail establishments have
been densely thronged by generous
people worried with the task of select
ing gifts for relatives and friends, the
building department has also been
crowded at times by applicants for
permits to erect new structures. There
has been no rest for the clerks in the
inspectors office. Early and late, each
day, the work of issuing building per
mits has gone steadily forward. To
date more than 6S4 permits have been
issued authorizing improvements val
ued at $1212,1S0, as compared with 5i6
permits and $1,047,622 valuation for De-
cember, 1909.
These figures, with those yet to be

REV. HARLEY IN GREENWLLE.
Tells People Of GreenviIIe That Con-
ditions There Are D~epIorahIe.

Greenville, Sept. 27.-Rev. j. L. Harley,
superintendent Of the State A~nti-Saloon
league, preached at the First Presbyterian
: church Sunday morning, his remarks
bearing largely on the approaching dis
pensary election in G~reenville county.
In the course Of his sermon, Mr.. Harley
related a startling Saturday night expert
ence in Greenville. He said that after
supper he started out for a walk and his
stroll lead him in the direction Of lower
Coffee street, when he noticed d suspicious
looking vehicle approaching, followed by
a number of men. The minister says he
drew into thesshadow and was presently
%astounded to see the occupants of the We
hicle begin to serve whiskey to those who
had followed. Mr.. Harley says he waited
till the stock was practically exhausted by
the thirsty crowd; then he strolled toward
Main street where there was plenty OF
light, plenty Of policemen, and plenty Of
smiling happy people,"
According to the minister's statement
the blind tiger situation in Greenville is
something deplorable.

blooded stock, it is claimed that you will

Haag shows possess one Of the largest,
most varied and costly, collection OF repre-
sentative members Of the equine family
which wealth can procure, and it is doubt
full if anywhere near the like has ever been
exhibited before. Certainly never by any

Another Tribute to James Evans.

James Evans died on the 2lst of Sept.
1910 and was buried at Lebanon on the
22nd.
James Evans was born in Ireland Au-
burn County, in September 1S41. His pa
rentSemigrated to America in 1882 and
ty. Alters years his father moved hear
Lebanon, some 5 miles south of Abbeville.
His father died when he was about six
years old leaving his mother and five
children to care for. James Evans and
the writer started to school about the
same time, and the friendship made while
boys never changed for over half a CEN
fury. James Evans enlisted in Company
A 1st s. c. Cavalry, Col. Black under Cap.
Nj. L. Owen, and was as faithful to the
cause Of the South as he was to his friends.
The services rendered to the South was
done uncomplaingly and cheerfully. All
Of his duties in camp life were rendered
without a murmur or complaint. He never
left his company during the 4years on fur
Tough or sickness; his captain noticing his
faithfulness to duty detailed him tothecare
OF some horses on a farm in Rockbridge
County, Va, when he was absent from Co.,
about two months he has related this Fact
a number OF times to the writer as being
the most pleasant times he had during the
war. After the war he came homu with
nothing but q willing heart and mind to
support his mother and widowed sister
and four children and by industry and en-
ergy accomplished his end, supporting "a
educating his sisters children; also care
ing for another sisters children until they
were old enough to care for themselves.
In 1876 he married Miss PomelialAiken by
whom he had six children all Of them are
nearly grown. He left them comfortably
situated. Mr.. Evans was the most UNI
selfish man l have met. He was c%ontinu.
ally thinking Of some one else welfare.
He joined Lebanon Presbyterian Church
In 1904 and has been a consistent member
until his death.
His is a great loss to his family, to his
neighborhOod and to his county. Would
we had more like him. His war record
was OF 1.-the best. Such men as James Evans
make it possible for the names of Lee
jackson, Hampton and other to be enroll
ed on the roll OF Names.
