DIxIELAND NEWS

During the past week County Sur
veyor C. N. Perry and company Of
assistants have been located at Dixie
land. Mr.. Perry and his men are en-
6eavoring to find the shortest route
that it is practical to adopt between
Dixieland and the road now being
built in our county by the San Diego
chamber of commerce committee. All
who have had the pleasure of riding
over the splendid road which San
Diego county has built from San Diego
10 Mountain Springs are anxious to
see Imperial county do its part in the
building and the maintaining of a
good automobile road between Ell Cen
tro and San Diego.
On Thursday night a farewell recep-
tion was given Mr.. villigrana. During
his brief stay in Dixieland he won the
friendship of one and all, and his de-
parture is very much regretted. Dur
ing the evening, by request, he kindly
consented to give few musical selec-
tions. which were greatly appreciated
by those present. Later several of the
men gave impromptu speeches, COM
mending Mr.. Villigrana's work among
US, after which a delicious repast was
served.
So much enthusiasm developed dur
ing the evening over the success of the
above mentioned social function that /
recreation hall for Dixieland was de
clared, to be quite a necessary adjunct
to the social prosperity of the commun-
ity Discussions followed and soon
these materialized in the appointme
of committee to meet Monday even
ing, Nov. 25, to plan more definite ar
rangements for the building of such
hall.
Again on Friday night, another fes-
tive occasion called out the residents
of the town from their homes to that
of Mrs. Dorothy Nichols. This time a
box social for the Sunday school
Christmas fund was the initial purpose
of the gathering. After games and
music, the gaily adorned boxes were
sold which afforded delicious luncheon
The Sunday school attendance is IN
creasing rapidly, which shows that
much interest is being taken in the
community. Church is held regularly
at 1880 on Sunday evenings, and the
schoolhouse is filled quite to its capac-
ity. Sunday, Nov. "a, Rev. Pittman Of
the Seeley Christian church. delivered
an excellent sermon, which was
strong appeal for all to seek after the
things of the spirit which are lasting,
rather than temporal things that at
tract for time, but all too soon perish
and are found unsatisfactory
