IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts Frem Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Century Ago. These Files Contain the Only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange county in the Days of the Ploneers. 50 Years Ago May 17, 1888 J. L. Burton, of the firm of Capitain & Burton of Los Angeles, was in town yesterday with plans of Mrs. Metz' brick building to be erected on the southeast corner of Center and L. Angeles street, the present wooden buildings to be moved along Center street a sufficient distance to allow the erection of the new block. The structure will be 80x36 feet, two stories in height and will be a conspicuous ornament to the town. Work will be commenced about June 1st. Mr. Federman, new block, northeast corner of Center and Los Angeles is also being drawn by this firm and will in all respects be an elegant building. Mr. Federman informs us he will make it the model dry goods house of southern California. This firm of architects has completed plans for the new residence of Napoleon Hart, which will be a model of elegance and comfort. Extensive alterations and improvements will also be added to the residence of W. A. Witte, which, when completed, will add greatly to the beauty of the structure. The noble row of cypress trees which lines the avenue leading to the P. Blyterian church, have been given great care during all the years of their growth, and the members of the church feel a natural interest in their preservation. They feel justifiably indignant at the mutilation of the trees by a later Nancy Jessie, who expired on last Friday night. The remains were borne to the grave on Sunday and were followed by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. To show the rapid rise in values of some of our suburban towns, Mr. Northam states that the lots bought by him a few months ago at Fullerton, corner of Commonwealth and Spadra road, for $850 were recently sold by him to Mr. Wilshire for $2,000. Work on the opera house is going forward rapidly. Timbers for the second story have been placed in position. Work on the Methodist church has been resumed, after a temporary cessation of some weeks. Oscar Luedke is building a two-story residence on Los Anegeles street.

Freeman of Fullerton answertoast with an address on "M." The noble row of cypress trees which lines the avenue leading to the Presbyterian church, have been given great care during all the years of their growth, and the members of the church feel a natural interest in their preservation. They feel justifiably indignant at the mutilation of the trees by a parcel of mischievous boys who are old enough to know better, but who are yet young enough to reform their ways under the persuasive influence of a birch wielded by the parental arm. The bark has been stripped from a number of these trees, and if the evil practice is not stopped the offenders will be severely dealt with. S. Littlefield has been unable to leave his residence during the week on account of severe injuries received on last Friday, when attempting to alight from his buggy, the horse became unmanageable, throwing Mr. Littlefield to the ground. He was severely bruised, but will be about in a few days. Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Gardiner have the sympathy of the entire community in their sad bereavement at the death of their daughter. A. E.
