in Mt. Union for sometime, made
his appearance in town yesterday.
When questioned, he said that

was a fake. It happened that
some of our people had passed
through that town on the Penn

that Mr. Marshall was mistaken.
By the pei suasion of Constable
Fields, Mr. Marshall made his
stay-in town rather brief. Our

any chances on ti e Uuban itch,
smallpox, or any other thng that
causes them to be quarantined,
with the additional risk of funeral
expenses.

Do you want to live where the climate is mild the year round
where labor is never oppressed by stress of weather, and where
animal vitality is never lost by mere conflict with cold?
Do you want to live in a region where the resources are more
varied Jthan in any other equal area in the world, where the division
of great ranches affords a fine opportunity to get a small farm that
will assure you a competence?
Do you want to live where, with a minimum of labor, you can
grow profitable crops of grapes and small fruit, oranges, lemons,
olives, prunes and almonds, alfalfa and grain, where crops are sure,
business is good and capital easily finds profitable investment ?
Then go to California, where both health and opportunity await
your coming.
