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 Pioneers. 50 Years Ago August 27, 1891 While bathing at the Landing on Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock, Calvin Good, who lived with his parents and owned a tract of land near theirs at Centralia, was carried out by the rapidly running tide and before assistance could be sent him he was drowned in the breakers. His body was not recovered until 6:30 Monday morning, when his two brothers found it in four feet of water on the beach across the channel from the warehouse. Deceased was buried from the Presbyterian church. Our Militia boys are back from their encampment at Santa Monica, and though they had rather a "scrappy" time of it, and do not care to go to Santa Monica again, they report having had a pretty fair time of it after all. We are glad to welcome them back, and are also glad to report that they whipped the other fellows when the other fellows insisted upon fighting. That's right boys, always whip the other fellow. The semi-annual meeting of the Editorial Association at Coronado last week although not very largely attended, was a highly enjoyable affair. The management of the hotel accorded its guests every hospitality, and nothing was left undone to insure the comfort of the newspaper men.

There were present Mayor Schneider, Trustees Stark, Brunworth and Dwyer, Absent Trustee Cook. The Anaheim police have blossomed out in a beautiful new uniform and are now the best dressed men in town. The cloth is an olive drab, all the buttons are shining brass, and the cap matches the suit.

At St. Joseph's Hospital The semi-annual meeting of the Editorial Association at Coronado last week although not very largely attended, was a highly enjoyable affair. The management of the hotel accorded its guests every hospitality, and nothing was left undone to insure the comfort of the newspaper men. Several business sessions were held, and trips to the steamer Itata and other places of interest were held. On Wednesday the editors went down to Mexico. On Wednesday evening President Craig declared the meeting adjourned sine die. Among old friends we met at the hotel was Councilman T. J.

When you go for an outing, go to Coronado. There is no place like it, you will be given courteous and hospitable treatment, and the prices are very low. Mention the Gazette and you'll be all right.
