ENGAGEMENT AND APPROACHING MARRIAGE OF GENEVIEVE BRADLEY, CHARLES EHRHORN ANNOUNCED IN THE DAY OF LONG AG 75 Years Ago... December 1880 The rainfall in town on Friday night last amounted to .67 making the total for the season 1.60. At the foot of the mountains above Pasadena the rainfall of Friday was 3.34. At San Luis Obispo over five inches of rain fell during the storm. Messrs. Thompson & West have been delivering their Illustrated History of Los Angeles County to subscribers in this vicinity during the week. It is a handsomely printed and bound book and a hasty glance through the contents gives one the impression that as a history it will be found to possess great value. Accompanying the book is a map of Los Angeles county which is given gratuitously to subscribers. Some scoundrel gratified his spite against Dr. Jones of Santa Ana by cutting with a knife some five hundred young orange trees in the Doctor's orchard. It is not likely that any of the trees will survive the mutilation. The perpetrator of the outrage is unknown. The Riverside Press attributes the earthquake of Nov. 21st to our threat to shake the earth from center to circumference if the Republican County Central Committee did not pay our little bill of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Bradley of 1431 N. East St., Anaheim, announce the engagement and approaching marriage of their daughter, Genevieve Elizabeth, to Charles Frederick Ehrhorn, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Ehrhorn of Visalia. The young couple have chosen Dec. 23 as their wedding date, the ceremony to be solemnized at the First Presbyterian church of this city. The bride-elect announced her betrothal at Hurlburt House on the campus of Stanford university. Both are in their senior year at Stanford. Miss Bradley is a graduate of Anaheim Union High school, where she was very active in the Mozart club, vice-president of her senior class and was a four-year member of the Honor Society. Last summer she toured Europe for several weeks. The bride-elect is the granddaughter of Mrs. C. S. Mitchell of Redlands, and the late Mr. Mitchell. Her paternal grandparents were early settlers in San Louis Valley in Colorado, the late Mr. and Mrs. Bert I. Bradley. Mr. Ehrhorn attended Visalia High school where he was president of the senior class. He is a member of the Sigma Nu Fraternity and the Arnold Air Society. As a member of the Air ROTC, he will enter the regular Air Force upon graduation in June. The bridegroom-elect is the grandson of Mrs. Lois Rumbly of Fresno and Fred N. Rumbly of Los Angeles, and the late Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Ehrhorn of Balboa. Bids on New Post Office Annex Asked According to Postmaster Louis H. Hoskins, bids will be received until Jan. 14 for construction and leasing of a classified postal station in the vicinity of Ball Rd. and Brookhurst Ave. The structure is to have about the same capacity as the present Anaheim Post Office and is necessary to meet the needs of city growth which is overtaxing present facilities. The vegetables in the gardens in the southern part of the city of Los Angeles have been destroyed by frost, and the peddlers refuse to sell the few hardy vegetables which withstood the cold, because of the heavy license imposed upon them. If this thing keeps on it will result in the wholesale migration to Anaheim of the Los Angeles folk for the purpose of getting square meal. The recent rains have wet the ground so that the roadmaster can now profitably attend to putting the roads in good condition. Mr. H. L. Paty is now busily engaged in making needed repairs in the highways leading out town, and the municipal authorities propose to give the street an overhauling immediately. The stockholders of the Santa Go Gold and Silver Mining Company elected the following Board of Directors at a meeting in week: T.J.F.Booge, P.Pellegrin. (EDITORIAL) to earn extra pay! Your interest-earning U.S. Savings Bonds never take a day off Underneath the newspaper you'll find a big, relaxed grin reflecting dreams of a new home...or possibly the happy retirement years ahead. And behind the smile is a pretty smart fellow...you, maybe...who gets closer to his goals even as he dreams about them, thanks to U.S. Savings Bonds. Every Bond he owns is earning extra money for him every minute. Bonds earn an average 3% interest, compounded semiannually, if held to maturity—and go on earning it for as long as 19 years and 8 months. That means a return of up to 80% more than you originally paid! Whatever your savings goal, you can't find a steadier, surer way to achieve it than by investing in U.S. Savings Bonds on the famous Payroll Savings Plan. Just tell the pay office where you work how much you want to save each week. It puts that amount aside for you before you get your check—before you're tempted to spend it. When enough money accumulates, it buys and turns over to you a U.S. Series E Savings Bond. You can have your money working for you every minute. Eight million working people just like yourself are doing it on the Payroll Savings Plan. Why not sign up at your pay-off today? Even play days are pay-days when U.S. Savings Bonds are earning extra money for you THE DAYS LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL Years Ago...

Stock is being taken in the principal cities of Europe and this country. M. Seligman, New York banker says that Americans hold the largest amount of stock and after all the magnificent undertaking will be largely controlled by Americans. A furious storm swept over the Pacific coast last Friday. Nearly every section was refreshed by copious showers of rain. About 6 o'clock a terrific wind visited Anaheim. It unroofed barns, shook houses, twisted the limbs of high trees, tore down signs and in fact did more hard work in two minutes than an ordinary gale would do in two weeks. A lighter was driven ashore at the Landing. The greater part of flume No. 8 on the Cajon ditch was blown down, damage being estimated from $250 to $500. These were the most serious pranks played by the wind and it is a question whether the deluge of rain which accompanied it did not compensate for all damages. The freaks of the storm in San Bernardino were more serious. In one instance, the residence of V. L. Mitchell was lifted from its foundation by the squall and a lamp was overturned setting of worship on Tuesday next. This will be an enjoyable festivity and all are invited to attend. Supper at 7:30.

McFarland of this city secured the contract for the brick and cement work. Madame Modjeska has sold her mountain home at Arden in the Santiago canyon, a tract containing 12,000 acres to Leopold Moss of Chicago, the purchase price being $30,000. Dr. Bullard of Los Angeles made the deal. Mr. Moss is said to have in contemplation the establishment of a sanitarium upon the tract. Mme.
