1 GAINESVILLE Argus: On Sunday last
we met and talked with Mr.. George

this place early that day for brief
/ visit with Mr.. and Mrs /. b. La Sale.
Mr. Sudden stated that he had just
returned from Southern California,

i at Los Angeles and San Diego and al
so in Arizona for a short time. At
San DIEGO ne met H, r. Gates, for
merly of Alma City, whom he re-
ports well and prospecting. He also
met Mrs. II. NJ Lamb, with whom
he visited for some time. 1t will be
) remembered by the elderly people
that Mrs. Lamb left here about thir-
tvfive years ago. 1t may be noted
that Mrs. Lamb has been a subscrib-
er to this paper during that entire
