IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Extracts From 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 December 18, 1890 The opening ball of the Hotel del Campo on Thursday evening was a most delightful and notable event. A hundred couples filled the palatial edifice. No pains had been spared by Manager Johnson and his wife to make the ball a grand success. The guests began arriving at 8:30 and by 9 o'clock the parlors, cafe and billard room were filled. The band discoursed music during the evening from their station in the reading room. At 10 o'clock dinner was served. There were oysters and shrimp salad en maycnaise, turkey, chicken, duck, ham, mince pies, ice cream, cake, fruits, nuts, coffee etc. About midnight the dining room was cleared for dancing. To the inspiring strains of Prof. James orchestra the light fantastic was tripped until the wee sma' hours. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. G. W. F. Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Reiser, Mr. and Mrs. R. Luedke, Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Everharty, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Konig, Mr. and Mrs. A. Langenberger, Mr. and Mrs. A. Rimpau, Mr. and Mrs. Plez James, Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

O. 25 Years Ago December 23, 1915 It comes this year as it has come for centuries, in spite of all the jarring voices that was against its gracious message. Its song of "peace on earth," rang out into a world that had little welcome for it; that denied even the right to live to Him who translated its music into a human life. Never was need greater since time began that each of us live out toward all men everywhere the spirit of the imperishable song "Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men." All the merchants of Anaheim have caught the spirit of the season and have decorated their stores with the Christmas colors. The merchants all report heavy sales and extra clerks are trying to satisfy the Christmas shopper. All the grocers are selling small sized Christmas trees for use in private families, carloads of toys and candy are being carted away by customers and it is evident that Santa Claus will make his customary visit to Anaheim homes. Herman Noll went out the first of the week to locate the largest Christmas tree in Orange county. He found it and brought it in. It was erected at the intersection of Los Angeles and Center streets, crowding the silent policeman out inspiring strains of Prof. James orchestra the light fantastic was tripped until the wee sma' hours.
