We have received No. 1, Vol 1, of the Mur- rietta Transcript, a neat weekly paper pub- lished in Mnrrietts, California. In looking over its columns we came to the conclusion that Dr. C. E. Lawrence,a former High school boy of this village, is one of the prominent citizens of that tawn. On one page we see his card‘as physician and surgeon. . In a- nother place is an advertisement for his drug store, and knowing his style of composition We feel confident the leading article is written by the same Charlie Lawrence. He pictures the Temecula Valley as a. health resort for invalids, and recommends the baths at the Etna. Hot Springs as invaluable for certain diseases. We are pleased to learn by this article that the writer is much improved in health since he went to that sulubrious cli~ mate. The friends of the Murray Evangelical Lutheran Sabbath School, 6th Con.

There was quite an interesting time at the Court held in the Village on Saturday. It was about five o’clock before His Honor. Judge Merge): not through with the list on the docket. If swearing diametrically op- posite to each other means taking a false oath. there IS every reason to believe that some of the witnemes placed themselves in an unenvinble pesition before the public. But it 18 only charitable to belleve that there are many cases where statements are made in direct oppocitlon to each other and yet the parties making them believe what they say to be true. The lawyers and judges must have a. curious opinion of mankind in general.

We have been handed a copy of the Pa- cific Rural Press, a large 40 page journal printed in San Francisco, California. From it we clip the following believing it Will be interesting to our readers to know that the son of one of our townsmen is so highly spoken of across the lines. Mr. Welsh may well be pardoned if he feels proud in having such a son. “The genius of government and opportunities for securing wealth. honor and advancement are fitly illustrated in the life of the present Mayor of the city of Stockton. He was born in Dundee, Scotland, in the year 1845, and is now in the prime and vigor of manhood. At the age of 5 veers his father and family emigrated to Canada, where he received a common-school education and afterward learned the trade of miller. In the year 1868, he came to California, and has followed milling continuously up to the pre- sent time. In 1882, the Crown Milling Com- pany was formed, consisting of Schwonbacker Bros., Balfour, Guthrie & 00., and Mr.Welsh, who has been the general manager of this immense plant, Although a quiet, nnosten- tatious citizen, and what may be termed a strictly business man,the solid men of Stock- ton brought him out and urged him to accept the position of Mayor. He was elected by a good majority in a closely contested election. His administration was conservative and characterized by a strict adherence to law, constitutional enactments and individual rights, unmiudful of spasmodic clamor or vltuperative assaults. He was re-elceted and succeeded himself by the largest majo- rity ever given to a candidate for Mayor in ‘ the city of Stockton. At the present time he is president of the San Joaquin County Board of Trade and also of the Land Loan and Building Association of Stockton. Mr. Welsh is not prominently connected with fraternal societies, although he is a member of A. F. dz A. M. and has always taken a deep interest in humanitarian projects for the as- sistance and advancement of his fellow-men. He has followed one line of business from boyhood, and has the reputation of being one of the most skilful in this line on the Pacific (least. His interesting family and the management of an immense business have occupied most of his time, until of late, being chosen executive head of the municipa- lity of the city of Stockton. he has given much thought and study to political economy and the science of government. He is not a large man, but seems to have great endur. once and has proved himself a wise counselor and astute leader." The friends and supporters of“ S. S.

The directors of the Agricultural Society met in the Palmer House last Saturday aft- ernoon. The committee were able to report a reduction in the liabilities of about $170 since last meeting. As the Village Council had agreed to forego their claim of $40 for rent of Park for the Fair on the 24th of MuV the following gentlemen very kindly made liberal donations, viz. :â€"James Russell. $27.50 ; Peter Patterson, 610 ; Thomas Boynton, $21.00; Edward Sanderson. $8.00; Wm. Trench, $13.00; J. Palmer. $8.00 ; T. Palmer. $10.00 ; J. Sisley, $2.50 ; Lndies' Aid of the Methodist Church, 83.50; Robt. Marsh, 325.00. A committee consisting of Messrs. T. Boynton and R. Marsh was ap- pointed to wait on the Council of Markham Township in view of receiving a grant from that body. Messrs. Wm. Trench and I. Crosby were also deputized to Wait on the Vaughan Council on similar business.
