The donations as usual were very liberal, At least 1,000 children, all carrying donations of one kind or another, formed in line and marched to one of the school buildings. On the way they were jofned by business men and other citizens who carried sacks of flour, hams, baskets of provisions or other articles, The donations were deposited at the schoolhouse, and an inventory of the same shows that over ‘a ton of flour, 3,000 pounds of potatoes} a large lot of hams, bacon, quantity. of mixed groceries and provisions, Besides this. there was about in cash contributions received, Of bread, besides a great were given. $300 this amount John and Edward Coleman, formerly of Grass Valley, sent $100 each, and Clinch’& Co. gave $50. This afternoon the Ladies’ Relief Society were busy distributing the food donations among the needy and deserving people. of their town, The Tidings says : It @ interesting at this time to inquire into the origin and history of Donation Day. first town in California to inaugurate such a day. It was instituted in this city thirteen years ago, upon the suggestion of Mrs, A H, Hanson [sister of Walter Mead, TRANscrire’s San Francisco correspondent] a lady Grass Valley was the ‘who now resides in San Francisco, but’ who was then the mother of a family of children in Grass Valley. Mrs. Hanson, although an invalid, was a woman of. bright intellect, and with a warm heart. She suggested that each child in the public schools, upon a specified day, should bring at least one-article to be given to the poor. A stick of wood, or a potato, each, was mentioned as an appropriate offering, The idea was taken up, and it was found that with over 1000 generous children in the schools, the sum total of donations went a long way in relieving the distress ofthe poor, The spirit of charity became infectious. As the children continued the practice in a quiet way for two or three years the tendency to give enlarged, but many outside the school joined the ranks of the givers, Gradually the merchants became interested. Instead of single potatoes, sacks of potatoes were given; instead of single sticks of wood, cords were donated; instead of single cuts of meat, hams and legs of mutton and quarters of beet were loaded into the gift wagon, And such is the stage of the observance today. Although the-times are too hard to allow people to give with their former spontaniety, they will give liberally, and the poor will be substantilly relieved, The Ladies’ Aid Society. has been the vehicle for distributing the accumulated gifts to the needy, They are continually relieving ‘cases of destitution, and they know best where the family stores are required, They welcome Donation Day as the great event of the year, and it makes the hearts of the good ladies swell with gratitude when they see the offerings pour in to the receptacle in @ generous manner, Tr you want the best for the least money in watches, diamonds, fine jewelry, silver novelties, ete., go to the Frank Golden Jewelry Store. -d202t plone ener. ere Every man having a beard should keep it an even and natural color, and if it is not so already, use Buckingham’s Dye and appear tidy, ——— ~--—-+ oe Married at North Bloomfield.

A mortgage makes a man rustle and it keeps him poor, An exchange remarks that it is a strong incentive to action, and a wholesale remainder of the fleeting months and years, It is fully as symbolical in its nieaning as the hour-glass and scythe that meant death, A mortgaye represents industry, because it is mever idle; night or day. It is like a bosom friend, because the greater the adversity the closer it sticks to a fellow. It is like a brave soldier, for it never hesitates at charges, nor fears to close in on the enemy. It is like the sand-bag on the thug—silent in application, but deadly in effect. It is like the hand of Providence —it spreads all over creation,, and its influence is everywhere visible. Lt is like the grasp of the devil-tish—the longer it holds the greater its strength. It will exercise feeble energies, and lend activity to a sluggish brain; but,no matter how debtors work, the mortgage works harder still.

She suggested that each child in the public schools, upon a specified day, should bring at least one-article to be given to the poor. A stick of wood, or a potato, each, was mentioned as an appropriate offering, The idea was taken up, and it was found that with over 1000 generous children in the schools, the sum total of donations went a long way in relieving the distress ofthe poor, The spirit of charity became infectious. As the children continued the practice in a quiet way for two or three years the tendency to give enlarged, but many outside the school joined the ranks of the givers, Gradually the merchants became interested. Instead of single potatoes, sacks of potatoes were given; instead of single sticks of wood, cords were donated; instead of single cuts of meat, hams and legs of mutton and quarters of beet were loaded into the gift wagon, And such is the stage of the observance today. Although the-times are too hard to allow people to give with their former spontaniety, they will give liberally, and the poor will be substantilly relieved, The Ladies’ Aid Society. has been the vehicle for distributing the accumulated gifts to the needy, They are continually relieving ‘cases of destitution, and they know best where the family stores are required, They welcome Donation Day as the great event of the year, and it makes the hearts of the good ladies swell with gratitude when they see the offerings pour in to the receptacle in @ generous manner, Tr you want the best for the least money in watches, diamonds, fine jewelry, silver novelties, ete., go to the Frank Golden Jewelry Store. -d202t plone ener. ere Every man having a beard should keep it an even and natural color, and if it is not so already, use Buckingham’s Dye and appear tidy, ——— ~--—-+ oe Married at North Bloomfield.

A mortgage makes a man rustle and it keeps him poor, An exchange remarks that it is a strong incentive to action, and a wholesale remainder of the fleeting months and years, It is fully as symbolical in its nieaning as the hour-glass and scythe that meant death, A mortgaye represents industry, because it is mever idle; night or day. It is like a bosom friend, because the greater the adversity the closer it sticks to a fellow. It is like a brave soldier, for it never hesitates at charges, nor fears to close in on the enemy. It is like the sand-bag on the thug—silent in application, but deadly in effect. It is like the hand of Providence —it spreads all over creation,, and its influence is everywhere visible. Lt is like the grasp of the devil-tish—the longer it holds the greater its strength. It will exercise feeble energies, and lend activity to a sluggish brain; but,no matter how debtors work, the mortgage works harder still. A mortgage is a good thing to have in the family—provided, always, it is in somebody else’s family. Bvy the little man a Reefer Suit, at Miller’s, Pet dls-tf ee “ At Wolf’s Only.
