OUR TOWN (Continued) Black Bart, too, had his day, robbing stage coaches, with great gusto and oftimes whimsically tacking notes and stories in verse on trees and poles here and there to amaze or delight the populace according to their various opinions of him. In more recent times the tremendous gold bearing potentialities of the country attracted the well known mining engineer John Hays Hammond to this vicinity, and even ex-president Herbert Hoover, worked in the local mines in his student days. Dr. Naffizinger, the eminent brain specialist lived here. John Atherton, one of America’s top flight artists, and known locally for his Post Covers, has close ties here. David Lamson and Ruth Rankin Lamson, H. P. Davis and Helen Ebeltoft Davis, all well known authors, live and write in our town, and many other talented exponents of music, art, and literature. The climate of Nevada City is a gay and joyous thing. The summer days are warm and bright, never too wiltingly hot, and the star-filled nights may be depended upon to be caressingly cool. Winter snowfall is light, with snowflakes large and soft as feathers falling from a downey quilt. Storms are usually followed by glowingly breathless gold and blue days, when smoke rises from the chimneys in misty exclamation marks. Spring and Fall are mellow and resplendent with color, from palest pastel to brilliant scarlet. tt Nt et td ed et etd et el ee eed a ea en \ { , William Home . MEN'S SHUP .
