IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic Hid the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 12, 1879 The big sunflower, which grows about Anaheim so densely and luxuriantly, is not, as many suppose, totally worthless. On the contrary, the seed is used quite generally for chicken feed, and the fowls are not oily quite fond of the seed, but are found to fatten upon it to a greater degree than upon other feed. In some of the Anstrian provinces where the sunflower grows as densely as here the seeds are used to feed cattle after the first pressure yield of oil which is used for salad oil. As an antimalaria agent the sunflower is most valuable. The Literary Union met in the Presbyterian church on Thuday evening, December 11. The following program was carried out: Duet by Misses Laura Campbell and Carrie Seibert; recitation "The Three Fishers" by Miss Parker; reading, Byron's "Eve Before Waterloo" by W. H. Henderson; reading, "Fathers and Sons" by E. A. Saxton, a good moral lesson. Music by Misses Ella Mitchell, Carrie Seibert, Fannie Higgins and Laura Campbell; reading, humorous selection, "Mr. Stiners Horse" by J. M. Guinn; reading of the Leader by the editor, Mrs. Parker. The following program was reported for the next meeting: Music; recitation by Miss Nellie Kuchel; declamation, D. O. Payne; reading, Miss Mitchell; declamation, C. S. Miles; recitation, Miss Rose Campbell; reading, F. P. Marsh; reading, Miss Lennie Saxton; recitation, Miss Kate Hilmer; Debate, Resolved that the French revolution aided the cause of Liberty in Europe, Affirmation, Messrs. Henderson and E. M. Ferguson; Negative, Messrs. J. M. Guinn and E. A. Saxton. A three pound package of the somewhat celebrated Cuzco corn was received here some days ago. This is probably the only grain seed that is selling for more than Anaheim wheat—it costs $1.00 per pound. This corn was sent from the Andes to Tiburcio Parrott of San Francisco, and if it grows well in this state (of which there is hardly any doubt) it will prove a blessing of no small magnitude. The corn is large and white, resembling at first glance a butter cracker. The grain is quite soft and when ground the gern is as white as wheat flour. It is said to yield a hundred and fifty bushels to the acre in the Andes. Messrs. Scott and Montgomery have during the past week secured a harvest of legal triumphs which is flattering to their legal ability. As attorneys of the Anaheim water company they were successful in having their demurrer sustained. They were attorneys for defendant in the case of Smith vs. Penny, in which judgment was given in favor of Penny; and they secured still another vicory in the District Court. No lawyers in the country meet with greater success than do Messrs. Scott and Montgomery. Mr. A. Guy Smiths debut as a weather prophet succeeded so will that his future, meteorological predications will receive more credence than was given to his first one. Several weeks ago he predicted rain on the 8th of December, and promptly on that day one-third of an inch fell. The statement of quantity conveys little idea of the good done. The rain was most opportune, and had a wonderful reviving effect upon the grass. It was, however, to some extent a local rain, as at San Juan Capistrano, thirty miles distant, a heavy fog was all that was vouchsafed, and in Los Angeles the fall was only .18. Just before we went to press this afternoon Mr. Theodore Reiser received a telegram from Los Angeles conveying the sad intelligence of the death of F. W. Koll, whom hundreds of our readers know. Mr. Koll has been suffering very much lately and death was to him a very welcome release from all troubles. In accordance with a request made by the deceased, he will be buried by Anaheim Lodge, F. and A. M., of which he was a member. The body will reach Anaheim by special train Sunday morning, accompanied by the friends of the deceased. The funeral will take place from the Masonic Hall about 12 o'clock, and all are invited to be present without further solicitation. Mr. Jacob Walker, of Anaheim Landing, was in town this morning with a load of splendid looking fish. He had some flounders the other day which weighed all the way from 7 to 18 pounds apiece. Housekeepers will be glad to know that Mr. Walker will bring fish to Anaheim every Friday morning throughout the winter. Louis Spinrer, who shot a chinaman at a wash-house near Mr. Jacob Walker, of Anaheim Landing, was in town this morning with a load of splendid looking fish. He had some flounders the other day which weighed all the way from 7 to 18 pounds apiece. Housekeepers will be glad to know that Mr. Walker will bring fish to Anaheim every Friday morning throughout the winter. Louis Spinrer, who shot a chinaman at a wash-house near Fulton Wells about a year ago, and who was convicted at the county court of assault with a deadly weapon, was sentenced on Wednesday to one year in the state's prison. Mr. Silas Holman and wife who propose to remain in Anaheim throughout the winter, have rented the cottage on the corner of Olive and Adele street. J. W. Ricks, a man who delivered an affecting temperance lecture in the Anaheim Presbyterian church some years ago was released from San Quentin last week, where he had been undergoing a sentence of imprisonment for bigamy. He celebrated his release by getting drunk and was promptly arrested. Messrs. W. J. Smith and Charles Morse have moved their sheep to Foster's ranch in San Diego county. L. H. Price, of Verdugo canyon picked up his coat and threw it on the wagon seat. In the pocket of the coat was a revovler which was discharged as it struck the seat and the ball entered Price's breast inflicting a wound which may be fatal. Among the visitors to the Gazette office during the week were Messrs. R. F. Harris and B. F. Townsend of Garden Grove and Messrs. Beckwith and Everett of Westminster. At 10 o'clock tomorrow morning M. A. Mendelson will sell at auction three dozen chairs belonging to the old Literary society. We understand that the proceeds of this sale and the balance of ash in the society's treasury will be donated to the Anaheim School Library fund. On next Friday night the leaders of the Episcopal church will give a social at the Review building. A very amusing programme has been decided upon. Everybody is invited to be present.

It has been stated in the dramatic papers that she would appear at Hammerstein's in the east this winter, under Robert Grau's management. This statement Madame has denied. The famous actress recently received an offer from Grau for a thirty-weeks' season in the eastern vaudeville houses to give the sleep-walking seen from "Macbeth" at a salary of $1750 per week. The principals of grammar schools throughout the country met at the offices of County Superintendent Nichols at Santa Ana on Saturday afternoon and perfected an organization, adopting the name of the Association of Grammar School Principals of Orange county.

December 4, 5, 6—The storms raging over Washington and British Columbia will continue and affect us only to the extent of general cloudiness but with very cold days and nights. December 7, 8—The weather in California will become threatening and we may see a few showers, especially in the northern portions and over our mountainous districts. December 9, 10, 11—A decided cold wave down this way will clear the skies for us from Washington to Mexico. December 12, 13, 14—Another storm over the Northwest will reach down into California this time, and we should have some real rain around the 14th of the month. December 15—Still disturbed all along the coast. December 16, 17, 18—Clearing to be followed by a period of sunshine. December 19, 20, 21, 22—These dates will cause people to give up hopes of a "white Christmas" where that is usually the case along our coast, for the weather will be generally undisturbed. December 23, 24—A slight disturbance over Washington and Oregon, but with no effect on the fine weather down this way. December 25—With the passing of the storm over Washington and Oregon, the whole coast will be able to celebrate Christmas Day under bright but cool skies. December 28, 29—The Northwest will be disturbed again and influence the weather here in California, particularly the 29th, causing it to be particularly cloudily in these parts. between the different educators looking to a unity in purpose throughout the entire county in the administration of best methods in the secondary schools.

She was four years old and gave upwards of five gallons of milk daily. Mr. Nemitz was several times offered $100 for her, but refused to sell. Owing to continued dry weather the celery crop of the Peatlands is being moved out slowly. The market demands are greater than the output, but movement of the crop has been greatly retarded. It is estimated that 3000 acres were planted and the whole crop will be something less than 2000 cars. In some sections the hot weather has seriously affected the output. At present daily shipments are about ten or twelve cars, and at this time last year two or three times that amount was going out. The Fullerton Breeders Association has been organized with the following officers: B. F. Porter, president; B. Dauer, Treasurer; W. A. Boucher, secretary. Directors: R. H. Gilman, P. Nichols, Sr., E. W. Hemphill, John Wagner. Other members are B. Mouliot, R. T. Davis, Jas. Ortega, C. C. Wagner, D. J. Bastanchury, C. C. Chapman, Brown and Dauser.

Mrs. Armbruster has relations in Anaheim and will make her home here. Mr. Dauser will move into his new home in the next block. W. Schumacher who was in town this week from the Lomita game preserve situated northwest of the Bolsa Chica states hunting for the reed birds has afforded excellent sport since opening of the season. Mr. Schumacher is superintendent of the new shooting club which numbers among its members Col. Northam and Mayer Snyder of Los Angeles. He is probably the most expert huntsman in Southern California and knows the bird business from A to Izzard. Northern birds have not yet come south but are looked for at the approach of forsty weather in the upper latitudes. During the next few months the gun clubs along the coast will have some very fine shooting. Mel Snyder, an old time Santa Ana boy, is in town this week in the interest of the Fraternal Brotherhood. Mel has been the guest of his old time friend, Henry Adams, and much time has been spent swapping varns of the long ago. He is a trifle stout but just as good looking as ever. James Adams, father of Dr. W. W. Adams, has purchased a lot on Olive street from Mrs. Eastman and will build a residence thereon. Mrs. Lionel Browning visited with friends and relatives in town on Tuesday. She returned to her home in Las Angeles on the evening train. J. W. Finley is in charge of the Palace Meat Market in the absence of Wm. Schumacher who is in Phoenix A. T. this week with H. A. McWilliams who has gone there hoping to recover his health. Richard Melrose returned on Saturday from Riverside after an absence of two weeks during which he participated in the suit by the Anaheim Union and Santa Ana Valley Irrigation companies against illegal diverters of water. The case is being tried before Judge Noyes and has been postponed until Dec. 13.
