writes as follows from Morgan Hill,
California:
To The Democrat: l am enclosing herewith
draft for $3.50 in payment of the Democrat l
look forward to getting the paper each week.
1t is surely like getting letter from home"
When read of the cold, snowy weather you
have been having the past winter, l can't help
but wish the people in the east could enjoy some
of our beautiful California weather. We have
had heavy rains and numerous ones during the
month of January, but it is just what is needed
to insure us of splendid fruit crop. Right
now is the finest season of the year The hills
and valleys are covered with green, and almond
trees are about to blossom. am out every day
in my shirt sleeves and straw hat and today the
thermometer registered "a degrees in the shade.
Roses are budding and it will not be long before
the prune trees VIII blossom and the whole
valley will be full of bloom and perfume. II
Eastern people would visit California at TINS
season instead of during the dry season, they
would have a different impression of the state.
Grain is not as far advanced as is usual this
time of year, on account of the steady rains;
but it is inches high and there promises to be a
fine crop. Ranchers are commencing to plow
their orchards and there will soon be plenty of
work TO do after the quiet winter
This country Is good enough for me and
should like to see many of my Wisconsin
friends out here enjoying it instead of battling
with the cold and snow
With best wishes, Yours truly

OUR MUNICIPAL BUILDING AND ITS
PURPOSES
BY GEORGE CRAWFORD
PURPOSES

1t the veteran John Bige1ow, who, in an
address read at the dedication of museum pre-
sented by him to his native town in Massachusetts,,
declared that people in town, village or city
can be really prosperous happy without being
brought together frequently to share common
amusements and recreatons, and exchanges of
opinion.
And so, our city builded better than it knew in
erecting municipal building. An edifce unique
in construction, combining city hall, library, and
theatre unsurpassed outside of the larger cities,
in current parlance it has put Mineral Point on the
map. People are coming this way. Hundreds
were here from nearby cities and villages to wit
the marvellous historical production, "The
Birth of Nation' and many visitors will be here
this evening to witness and laugh at 'The
Rejuvenaton of Aunt Mary'
The Theatre is serving we'll it's purpose of
bringing people together to share in common
amusements and recreatons, in making them lay
aside their differences in religion, in politics and
other things, and join in pleasures that the
heritage of all.
@ And, the Theatre can, and should also be made
to the greater purposes of bringing people of
town and country together for the exchange of
opinions, and the requirement of knowledge in
things which make for the moral and material
advancement of community. A city or town is
great, not by of the number of it's cit
liens the vastness of it's business enterprises,
but by the comfort and the educational advan-
tages which it bestows upon it's inhabitants. Let
us, IN addition to plays, carry out the community
institute idea for which our Municipal Theatre
affords excellent opportunities. There are pro-
blems of community building, the study of which
is surely worth while; and it is democratic and
right for all citizens to have part in the discus
sion and solution of such problems.
These suggestions are made for after consider
alton, for be assured that you will miss great
event if you fail to witness "The Rejuvenation of
Aunt Mary" at the Municipal Theatre tonight.
