IN THE DAYS OF L Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1877 It will yet be some days before that system so necessary in all well regulated families and printing offices is reached by The Gazette, and in the meantime we ask the indulgence of our patrons, especially the advertisers. A feeling akin to that experienced by a lady engaged in the pleasant feminine occupation of shopping possessed us while selecting from the well filled type foundries the material for our office. As the average woman delights in examining the different silks on the counters and in purchasing that most pleasing to the eye, so we felt in selecting our favorite presses and type from the mass of material presented for our inspection. Our readers will perceive that the new type upon which The Gazette is printed is much smaller than that used heretofore. We think the paper presents a much more handsome appearance typographically; and the type now used will enable us to put in the same space nearly one-half more reading matter than formerly. The members of the Anaheim Literary Society met on Monday evening, Mr. H. S. Austin in the chair. The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. Mr. A. G. Beebe delivered a recitation, after which the following question was discussed: "Resolved, That novel reading has a moral tendency." J. M. Guinn opened the debate for the affirmative, followed by his opponent, Theodore The Gazette is printed is much smaller than that used heretofore.

Mr. A. G. Beebe delivered a recitation, after which the following question was discussed: "Resolved, That novel reading has a moral tendency." J. M. Guinn opened the debate for the affirmative, followed by his opponent, Theodore Lynill. The chair gave his decision in favor of the affirmative. It was resolved that the names of the following members be dropped from the roll of this society for non-payment of dues: H. Blankin, J. P. Zeyn, George C. Knox and D. E .Miles. It was resolved that a special committee of four be appointed by the chair to devise some means of reviving public interest in the proceedings of this society, whereupon the chair named as members of said committee J. M. Guinn, M. A. Mendelson, A. G. Beebe, Theodore Lynill and Victor Montgomery. The question for discussion at the next regular meeting is: "Resolved, That the pursuit of an object affords more pleasure than the possession of it." Affirmative, F. W. Athearn, A. Heinmann, E. F. Cahill and Robert Brown; negative, F. M. Cahill, T. J. Cartright, W. M. McFadden and M. A. Mendelson. For declamations, T. S. Grimshaw and William Anderson.

Seibert has rented Pete Richards' house. Mr. Jotham Bixby of Los Cerritos Rancho was in town yesterday. Poultry Diseases To Be Studied The diagnostic laboratory for the determination of poultry diseases in Southern California has been assured.

This building would be leased to the poultrymen for the nominal sum of $1 per year. The state university and department of agriculture have agreed to equip and man the plant. Additional equipment to that furnished by the university will be needed and an opportunity of subscribing $1 or more towards the purchase of this additional equipment will be given to every poultryman in Southern California. The equipment so purchased will be of a movable nature and will rema'n with the laboratory as long as it is in existence.

Dr. Higgins has been a resident of Anaheim since May, 1869. He and his daughter, Miss Margaret, leave for Redlands, where they will visit for a time with relatives and friends. They take with them the best wishes of a host of friends for their future welfare. The new proprietors see in Anaheim one of the most inviting fields in Southern California. With the construction of the electric railway line, the consummation of the many other improvements in contemplation, and the rapid settlement of the country tributary to us, the town has a business future before it possessed by no other place of similar importance in the state.

Bowers A Question After reading a few of Machiavelli's essays on chicanery, one wonders how long he would last as a modern used car dealer. It would give him a great laugh, we know, to see how conscientiously we recondition our Used Cars before offering them for sale. But the proof of a principle is in its success—and the laugh would be on him, after all. would give him a great laugh, we know, to see how conscientiously we recondition our Used Cars before offering them for sale.

MANN 210 South Los Angeles Street A USED CAR IS ONLY AS DEPENDABLE: AS THE DEALER WHO SELLS IT A Child’s Laxative which Mothers Can Rely On DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AGE OF 83 To Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, Ill., it seemed crucial that so many constipated infants and children had to be kept "attired up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calamel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all children's little ills, he constantly advised mothers to give only a harmless laxative which would help to establish natural bowel "regularity." In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin mothers have a regulating laxative which they can depend upon whenever a child is constipated, billions, feverish or sick from a cold, indigestion or sour stomach. All children love its pleasant taste. Buy a large 60-cent bottle at any store that sells medicine or write "Syrup Pepsin," Monticello, Illinois, for a FREE SAMPLE BOTTLE and just see for yourself how perfectly it cleapses and regulates the bowels of infants and children.
