IN THE DAYS OF 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, MAY 11, 1878 We advise all our fair readers in the outlying villages of Santa Ana, Tustin City, Orange, and other adjacent places to embrace the first opportunity to visit Anaheim and participate in that most fascinating of all pursuits to the feminine heart—shopping. All our merchants have now received their stock of spring novelties and are ready to welcome with hospitable hands to well filled counters and shelves. The Messrs. Plato have a stock of dry goods, etc., which is superior to any previous importation made by this firm. Messrs. Cahen & Willard have loaded their shelves with a stock which was personally selected by Mr. Willard during his trip to San Francisco. Messrs. Mendelson & Company cater more especially to the sterner sex, and their furnishing goods will be found of superior quality. Messrs. Davis & Brother have made extraordinary heavy shipments of groceries, while for the last three days the entire force at Goodman & Rimpau's dry goods emporium have been busy piling upon their shelves the immense stock purchased in San Francisco by the senior member of the firm. A life-long experience enables Mr. Goodman to select with rare judgment and taste, and the stock comprises all that is rich and novel in ladies' and gentlemen's wearing apparel. Mrs. Flora M. Brown is showing at the spring millinery opening at her store (next to Goodman & Rimpau's) some of the most alluring styles in ladies' hats, artificial flowers, and other trimming ever brought to this town. Mrs. R. T. Yarndley, at her millinery parlors on Lemon street, one block from the postoffice, renews her cordial invitation to the ladies to come and see some of the new modes, marvels of elegance... groceries, while for the last three days the entire force at Goodman & Rimpan's dry goods emporium have been busy piling upon their shelves the immense stock purchased in San Francisco by the senior member of the firm.

We repeat our invitation to our suburban friends to visit Anaheim and secure bargains. We acknowledge with thanks an invitation to be present at the ball at Magnolia hall on Friday evening. Mr. D. R. M. Thompson is so well known among the dancing community that there is no doubt but that the ball to be given by him will be a success. The schooner John Hancock arrived at Wilmington on Thursday, from Humboldt, with 170,000 feet of lumber for A. Guy Smith & Company. Martin Sweetzer, a fisherman by occupation and a resident of Wilmington for the past fifteen years, fell out of his boat on Friday and was drowned. F. A. Korn, E. W. Champlin, and John Fischer have gone to San Francisco to attend the annual session of the Grand Lodge of the I. O. O. F. Mrs. Nettie Sanford, editor of the San Gabriel News, was seriously injured on Sunday by being thrown from her buggy. The Fairview Recreation Club will give a dancing party on the evening of the twentieth instant at Grange hall, Fairview. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Kip will hold a confirmation service in St. Michael's Episcopal church on Sunday morning next. Miss Adelina Aviso was performing some equestrian feats on Sunday on Los Angeles street which were not considered in keeping with the dignity and quietude of the town. Officer Bohn took her in charge, and she was allowed to deposit a small fine with the justice. The firm of Gaddy & Lewis, well-known livery stables, has been dissolved, the former gentleman retiring. Mr. Lewis will continue the business and settle the affairs of the firm. A shawl was found on the road between Artesia and Anaheim by Mr. Gray on Wednesday. The owner can have it by applying at this office. Mr. A. Guy Smith brought to our office on Thursday some samples of flax grown on Amos Wright's farm. These sample stalks are just about to blossom, and are 30 inches in height. The seed was sown on February 20. Mr. Wright has 25 acres in flax, which is growing finely. It has had no more cultivation than is given to barley. As the seed is worth $70 per ton, it is likely that his enterprise in testing the new crop will receive a substantial reward. There are several other farmers in this A shawl was found on the road between Artesia and Anaheim by Mr. Gray on Wednesday. The owner can have it by applying at this office. Mr. A.

There are several other farmers in this vicinity who have put in experimental crops from seed furnished by A. Guy Smith & Company, and the reports are all favorable for a good crop. Instead of the regular services at the Presbyterian church on Sunday evening, Rev. J. A. Mitchell will lecture on "The Cata-combs of Rome" and will illustrate his subject with diagrams. The card of Robert W. Scott, recently appointed notary public, appears this morning in our columns. The ladies of Garden Grove have been making a very beautiful quilt for Rev. Mrs. Bovard. There will be a social party and supper this evening at the schoolhouse, when the article will be presented. We have been asked to call the attention of the town authorities to the reprehensible practice of some youths who almost daily bathe in the zanja on the corner of Adela and Orange streets. Adela street is largely traveled and, aside from the embarrassment occasioned to ladies by coming suddenly on half a dozen naked younghoods, they have on more than one occasion frightened passing teams by their sudden appearance from the willows, and nearly caused runaways which might have ended disastrously. It is suggested that the marshal visit the locality mentioned and cause the annoying habit to be abandoned. A mass meeting will be held today at Santa Ana to form a joint stock company to purchase a steam lighter to run over the Newport bar. If such a company is formed, the McFadden Brothers will deed to it a wharf and warehouse site. At a meeting of the Democratic county central committee, held in Los Angeles on Friday, resolutions were adopted to the effect that partisan nominations be made in this county for delegates to the constitutional convention. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK THURSDAY, MAY 7, 1903 School Census Marshal Hatfield has completed the school census of Anaheim school district and reports 962 children in the district as against 948 last year, an increase of 14. Children in St. Catherine's academy decreased from 195 to 165. The Sugar City (Colorado) Gazette has the following notice of our fellow townsman, Tim Carroll: "Tim Carroll of Denver was in town the first of the week and closed a contract with the National Sugar Manufacturing Company for the construction of two large automatic beet dumps. One will be located at Ordway and the other at Kings Center. These improvements will be of great benefit to beet growers in the vicinity of these places. Supervisor Linebarger has had a force of graders at work from A. S. Bradford's place in Placentia to Olinda. Another crew has been at work from Mrs. Hiltscher's corner to Buena Park. A crew is also at work regrading the road from L. B. Benchley's place to Brea canyon oil wells. This will make 10 miles of new road work done since the last rain; and all of it in much traveled territory. The roads will be oiled, and for this purpose Dan Murphy of the Brea Canyon Oil Company has donated 100 barrels of oil. Graham & Loftus Company 100 barrels, and the new town-site company at Randolph 150 barrels. Several hundred barrels will also be donted by the different companies operating in the territory."

Postmaster Littlefield informs us that the three carriers of rural free delivery carried from the Anaheim postoffice 14,500 pieces of mail during the month of April. Rural free delivery has been an instantaneous success here and is daily becoming more popular. Orange county will not permit itself to be outclassed by the other Southern California counties tomorrow on the occasion of the President's visit to Los Angeles. While the President will not come to Orange county, it is about settled that the entire county will go to Los Angeles to meet him. Every one desires to see him, even if he cannot be shaken by the hand and told quietly that Orange county esteems him at his true value as a patriot and a soldier. The coming of the President marks one of the most glorious epochs in the history of the state. California extends a welcome to the chief executive, and from every hamlet and village on the coast arises the resounding acclaim, "Welcome Roosevelt!" George Hager was in town from Miraflores on Monday. George tells us the Democrats have a sure shot of electing the president next year, but whether it will be Cleveland or Hearst he did not state.
