ANAHEIM GAZETTE COUNTY DIVISION (From the Gazette November 25, 1871) A meeting is called to be held at Gallatin school house today to draft resolutions pertaining to the division of the county. This is right. It is an important matter; full of significance to the welfare of every man within the limits of the proposed new county. We are glad too, to see it come from some other place than Anaheim, because as an Anaheim movement it is apt to be regarded as advanced solely for the aggrandizement of our own town. Anaheim wants it, not for her own sake alone, but for the common good of all. A division of this county is desired not for the benefit of this city. Gallatin, Richland, Santa Ana, Tustin City, Capistrano or any other one community, but for all for the sake of being segregated from a fossilized old machine like Los Angeles county that is run by men who evidently have no interest in common with us and who use us for a mere convenience or make weight in operations for their own benefit. They are such men as came down here upon an invitation to confer with us upon public matters, and then took the business all in their own hands, bringing sham delegates enough to outvote our end of the county and against our most earnest protest passed resolutions that are diametrically opposed to our sentiments and our own interests. This makes a new argument in favor of dividing and getting free of these dangerous friends, who under specious pretense of doing something for us will incontenently gobble us all up. We hope the meeting at Gallatin will be fully attended. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read.

I. Morris, who was a foreman of road construction work at various times and places in this county, has on file in the superior court a suit for divorce from Marie M. Morris. The alleged dream jealousy, Morris says in his complaint, developed while he was supervising some road work at San Juan Capistrano in the fall of 1917. Mrs. Morris, he alleges, had insisted on accompanying him there as camp cook, for fear, he says, that the other camp cook would be installed there. One night, after he had concluded his day's work and assisted his wife in completing her kitchen work, he retired early, being very tired, he states. Mrs. Morris, he says, stood for a time on the platform at the rear of the camp wagon in which they slept. Suddenly she screamed and leaped from the platform, running into an adjoining walnut orchard. Morris fol- Telephone Traffic The signals of the traffic officer are obeyed instantly by the intelligent citizen, as he realizes that indifference means confusion and congestion. Over the wires and through the switchboards of the telephone company there is a constant volume of traffic. Here there is also a signal—the ringing of the telephone bell. A great obstacle in the flow of this traffic is delay in answering the telephone bell. Answer your telephone bell promptly. You will accommodate the party calling. Your own line will be more quickly cleared for other business. The Pacific Telephone And Telegraph Company LOWED her and after dodging back and forth from tree to tree, for some time, he finally caught her. She was hysterical and was pacified with difficulty. It was then, he says, that she accused him of retiring early so that he could dream of other women. Your merits may not be appreciated, but you ought to be thankful if your faults are not exaggerated. Any failure knows that an honest man can't succeed, and by the same reasoning knows that any man who has succeeded must be dishonest.
