IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK October 17, 1874 Those old residents, who have given any attention to weather signs have in all probability noticed that in this section there annually occurs a southerly gale of wind sometime in the month of October but generally between the first and twentieth days of that month. It is also a noticeable fact that when this wind has been unaccompanied by rain, or when it has been followed with a slight shower the winter following has been always characterized by a serious absence of rain. On the other hand when there comes first a shower followed by wind, the ensuing seasons have always been of the most favorable nature. Remembering the old rhyme, which governed "ye ancient mariner of the Nantucket fisheries" and which taught him that: "When the wind's before the rain, You can set your sail again; But when the rain's before the wind, Tis time to take your topsails in." Predicating our prediction therefore upon the old New England rhyme and upon the ipse dixit of our old residents we look upon the shower of Thursday morning as a happy augury and prophesy for our farmer friends a most prosperous season with plenty of rain. Rev. Mr. Loop will hold divine services at Enterprise hall tomorrow office at Los Angeles to this inconvenience and request a representation of the matter to the proper authorities.
