An unfortunate error occurred in
the last issue of this paper when it
was announced that a daughter was
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. StOltZ. Such
an event has not taken place, and the
announcement placed Mr.. StOltZ in an
embarrassing position. The mistake
was unintentiOnal. as it was supposed,
under the circumstances, that the re-
port was authentic.
A meeting of the Oroville Athletic

err; secretary, G. l.. Armstrong; treas
urer, M. c. Jackman; trustees, Vic
Butler. c. Schassberger and w. B. Sex
son. The club is now on it's feet, with
a good membership. 1t promises to
be permanent fixture and a worthy
feature of the town.
After the celebration the executive
committee presented S. r. Stanton a
modest monetary reward in recogni-
ton of his services as marshal of the
day. Such thing as paying Mr.
Stanton for the time he devoted to the
work he SO ably performed was not
thought of, the present was simply
made in the spirit of good fellowship
as an acknowledgement of the Obliga-
tons the committee felt they were
under to the man who had cheerfully
served the public faithfully and well.
1t is not often that Tom Stanton is in
a hole where his articulative organs
cannot pull him out of, but in this
case the act was so unexpected, and
was such surprise, that Mr.. Stanton
could not find words to sufficiently eX-
press his thanks. 1t was the motive
and not the consideration that touched
Mr. Stanton, and he deeply appreci-
ates the kindness.
