Everv ‘“Assembly” maid and man s going, and other interesting folk of the good old South, and the reason is two-fold: the possession of a rare good time, a chance to help the poor lads who fought for the right A rice Fife and Miss Elsie Sperry were the greatest beauties—with a toss-up between them for first honors. Now, in this classification, most of the men within_hearing concurred, with many emendations, to be sure, .with each maid a valiant champion.

His talents in the legal profession and as an orator were wide- ly known and admired. Mr. Terry was, also, a cousin of David S. Terry of renown and connected with so - much of the early history of California. Mrs. West is one of the sincerely ad- mired young matrons of Stockton and her heritage of intelligence and beauty makes her widely sought. . s o Among the transport passengers last Thursday were the Bashes. They have really given little time to friends here, but have been either just arriving or just going, and with the wedding trip in addition they have had scarce op- portunity to accept of society’s offer- ings. Miss Irene Sabin and Miss Pearl Sa- bin enjoy life in a wholesome sert of a way. They spend much time out of doors and any day in the park may be seen walking, accompanied by two fine dogs. Miss Pearl has a beautiful cocker spaniel, while Miss Irene is at- tended by a vigorous bull terrier.
