By subscribing to, and _ therefore, (By H. M. L.) The Federation of Women’s clubs last Saturday paid its respects to the memory of John Marshall. A large delegation of club members at the Capital and. motored up to ‘Hangtown” and from there to Coloma, the _ place where in 1848 Marshall discovered gold in the mill race. A notable program, in which Mrs:-BeHe—Douglas of this city, president of the TriCounty Unit of the Federation, extended greetings, was enjoyed. It is the menu of the luncheon servea there, however, that attracts the masculine eye. One wonders. There were Coon Hollow Pickles and Hangtown’ Tailings as an opening course, Marshall’s Mulligan was apparently the main course, and it excites curiosity as to its authenticity. Was it a lineal descendant of the humble stew that the historic discoverer commonly ate? Vegetable ala °49 should not differ, except in variety, from that of today. Murphies from Mt. Murphy should have a special virtue. But Shirt Tail Bend Nuggets—what could those be. Were they doughnuts of some new and durable sort or golden macaroons? ! Quartz Rocks does stagger the imagination. But Miner’s Delight must surely have been a_ precious whiskey, 87 years old, stored in some forgotten, charred oak barrel and brought to light for this special oceasion.

The ladies were having their little. joke. a ‘ We refuse _to take our peoples ~ whiskers and one and all who read;the Nug-. get are hereby advised that half the . stuff printed in the Nugget regard. ing our pard,”’ is rank nonsense. We take this occasion to say so, because quite recently we heard the Nugget’s whisker nonsense quoted as though the mock threats against dissenters, non-conformists and slick chins genown seriously, erally, were intended to bully the shaven into line. Nothing of the sort, please. The chairman of the Fourth of July committee Monday, night at the Chamber of Commerce meeting issued a solemn assurance that coercion, psychological Sor. phy gical, would not be tolerated. As it is given us to see the light, thé important thing is unity through out the county in putting on a celebration in Nevada City which will long be remembered. Argonaut clothes and whiskers will help to inculeate that spirit, in fact the whole mountain country is entering into the play and the fun. Rowdies and hoodlums, we are advised, will not be permitted to mar the good time and sport that is planned. The Chamber of Commerce has appointed a committee to study and report upon a plan to concentrate in Nevada City all the giving to charity and other purposes throughhas been suggested that the annual drive for such an annual outpouring to be known as. the Community ‘Chest, should open on Donation Day thus preserving one of the city’s oldest and most revered activities. Aside from the fact that one soli‘citation for funds follows another ‘through the year, taxing the generosity of a comparatively few of the citizens, there is also the factor of ‘time and shoe leather by the public spirited men and women who do the soliciting. Some citizens give both ‘time and money to one or another drive for funds. If one big drive could accomplish the same result as five or six drives what a saving in time of busy, civic minded citizens, could be affected. Whether the n of a community chest will be Ree received by the people of this city or not, is now a question. ‘The committee, of which Mr. H. E. Kjorlie is chairman, solicits expfessions of opinion on the matter. Not all farmers are satisfied with the Federal government’s benevolent attempts to lift them out of the depression by huge money grants. The farmers of a New Jersey comunity recently passed the following resolution: . will provide ‘the music Mo 10, No, 95. The County — Paper NEVADA CITY, ec ee The GOLD Center FRIDAY, nce oe 1936.

They were J. A. Carter born in North Columbia and W. H. Landrigan born in Yuba county in 1856. Both guests gave an entertaining account of the joys and hardships of the pioneer era in the mining communities Chairmen of the day were Charles W. Leiter and Ted Janiss. A new song to the tune of ‘‘Home on the Range’’ was sung and founa great favor. The song follows: WHISKERINOS ARE WE Oh give me a hill And the ring of a drill In the rich gold ore in the ground, And give me the gulch Where the miners can sluice And the bright yellow gold can be found. Chorus Whiskerinos are we, Spirits of Forty-nine; When Sutter found gold A new land did unfold And Whiskerinos came out West ‘to mine. United are we Like the Musketeers three, One for all, and all for one; So come on, you mugs, sluice box robbers and thugs Raise some whiskers and join in the fun.
