IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 22, 1883 The exigencies of the case compel us to be a little previous with our annual greeting. Before another issue of the Gazette, Christmastide will have passed and it will then be too late to print words with which for twelve years past we have hailed our readers. Therefore we do, at this early day, most heartily wish everybody A Merry Christmas. There is an undefinable something about Christmas which has an influence for good upon people in all stations of life, an influence which for the time gives rise to kindlier feelings towards one's fellow men and holds in abeyance resentments which at other times would be uncontrollable. But whatever the cause, let us rejoice that there is one day in the year when we can say: To those who hate me and to those who love me, to those who honor me with their enmity as well as those who gratify me with their friendship, I wish a Merry Christmas! Were it in my power, by the mere uplifting of my hand to stay the tide of laughter and happiness in the home of those who most revile me, could a wish of mine cast a gloom over the household of my most bitter foe on this eventful Eve, that hand would not be uplifted and that wish would be suppressed. And the children, God bless them, let them have a Merry Christmas. Fill up their stockings, let them romp and laugh unrestrained on this glorious Christmas! Eight-hundredths of an inch on Wednesday, and eighteen-hundredths on Thursday night is the record of the rainfall up to yesterday morning. We hope that by the time this paragraph is read the clouds which are at the present writing hovering about the sky will have fulfilled their promise of an abundant downpour.

(Up to 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon an additional twenty-hundredths of rain had fallen, and the clouds looked as though they would yield some more before they rolled by.) Dr. John Pfeninger, of South Bend, Indiana, has purchased through Hanna & Keith the 60 acres east of town owned by Isaac Jameson. The Doctor will plant twenty acres of the tract this season with vines, and is desirous of finding some one to take the work by contract. He is stopping at the Anaheim Hotel, where he can be found by anyone who desires to confer with him regarding the contract. Dr. Pfeninger has concluded to settle here only after deliberately inspecting the entire county. He will go to South Bend in a short time and return here with his family. On Tuesday afternoon at half-past three o'clock the members of the Evangelical association will give the children the pleasure of seeing a Christmas tree in Kroeger's hall. There will be literary exercises, singing, etc., and those who are managing the affair will see to it that all the children who attend will receive some little remembrance. In surveying the lands of the Antelope valley, on the west border of the Mojave desert, Mr. M. Kelliher found many of the redwood stakes in good condition, although set in the ground thirty years ago by Mr. George Hansen, the well known surveyor. The magnetic variation recorded by Mr. Hansen was then 14 degrees, 12 min. E. Now it is 14 degrees, 50 min. E. While the Rev. Mr. Bollinger of the German church was on Saturday last in the earnest pursuit of his sacred calling, his horse shied at some tumble weeds, capsizing his buggy and badly breaking the reverend gentleman's ankle.

He was chief of the gang which in February, 1880, robbed Mr. Steinhart in Anaheim, Crowder's store in Orange and Tuch's store in San Gabriel. Carrisosa was captured in Tucson. The Republican says that a hunter killed forty-one ducks at one shot near Westminster the other day. The man who told that story is still alive, which shows that liars are not punished now as they were in the days of Ananias.

A glittering and resplendent stock of silverware and jewelry is that which gleams from the cases and shelves in Pellegrin's store. He has some of the handsomest goods in his line that have ever been seen in Anaheim. The new ditch on Broadway has been completed in good style by the contractor, H. L. Paty, and the street is thereby transformed from one of the most unsightly ones in town to a first-class thoroughfare. A Christmas dinner without a royal roast is not to be thought of and Mr. Leonard of the Washington Market will be prepared to furnish his customers with extra fine meat on Monday.

S OF LONG AGO History and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pleneers. 25 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK DECEMBER 24, 1908 Street paving was up for further discussion by the chamber of commerce on Monday evening and evidence was presented that a considerable frontage had already signed on Los Angeles street with several large property owners expressing a desire to join in the work and bring about this improvement. Mr. Thomas to whom had been assigned frontage on both sides of Los Angeles from Center to Sycamore reported that he had signed up 776 feet, and that if Mr. Ruhman signed, which he now had under consideration, a majority frontage will have been secured. Dr. Wickett reported 560 feet on South Los Angeles signed and the Southern Pacific holding 135 will probably sign. The library frontage was not included in his figures, but the city undoubtedly will pave this frontage. Messrs. Mullinix and Schumacher, who were appointed to secure frontage on East Center reported they had made a beginning. Messrs. Deitrich and Enfield who were appointed for West Center were not present at the meeting. The board discussed the annual banquet, which will be the finest ever spread by the chamber of commerce. It will occur on the evening of Monday, January 25th. An alarm of fire was rung in for a blaze at St. Catherine's orphanage on Tuesday morning.

The scullery was drenched by the school hose, under direction of the Mother Superior and sisters assisted by the larger boys who did valiant service in checking the flames. When the fire department arrived the flames were extinguished. The loss is nominal.

We have no respect for, or confidence in, the man who sidesteps responsibility by refusing to sign his name to what he writes. But did you ever think that unknown merchandise is anonymous? Nobody to vouch for it. No name signed. Notice the advertisements in this newspaper. There in bold print are the names of those who stake their reputations — who stake your good-wills towards them — on the truth of what they have said in type, on the trustworthiness of their merchandise. The maker of advertised goods realizes that he might fool you once — but never the second time. He knows his success is dependent upon your continued confidence in what he says in his advertisements. Read the advertisements with confidence. They tell truths that you should know. The measure of satisfaction is larger in advertised goods. ANAHEIM GAZETTE
