478 SEPTEMBER 13, 14, 15, 1865 GRASS VALLEY UNION
evening of the present week, we may be permitted to say that the attendance at the concert and ball was
good. It seems to us that but one class of our citizens patronize public entertainments in this place. This
consists of a few public spirited gentlemen who are never backward when called upon for patronage.
They believe in sustaining the reputation our town has earned for liberality; but unfortunately, are sadly
taxed to do so. The entertainment was one of a highly meritorious order and was warmly applauded. After
the concert, the floor was cleared, and to the most soul-inspiring music, the gentlemen and ladies present
danced until twelve o’clock, when the affair wound up. We understand that Messrs. Hall & Hayward
leave California on the next Easternbound steamer. May prosperity attend their efforts whereever they go,
for they richly deserve it.
WILL SELL OUT.—Reuben Cone has made up his mind to leave these gay and festive scenes,
and retire to some secluded spot in Indiana, where he may pass the remainder of his days in raising corn
and tomatoes. Before going, however, he must sell out his stock in trade, and with that object in view, he
this morning advertises for a purchaser. A fine opportunity is here offered for a man of limited means to
embark in a light and profitable business. Reuben will sell his stock, fixtures, and good will at a moderate
price, if early application be made.

CHANGED HANDS.—The popular restaurant on Mill street, near the corner of Main, known as the
Franco American, has changed hands, Messrs. Roberts & Roth having bought out Chicken Pie’s interest
therein. The establishment has undergone a thorough overhauling, and everything about it now looks
bright and clean. The new proprietors are determined that no efforts on their part shall be spared to make
the Franco-American a first-class eating house. Over the restaurant there are some elegant beds, which
will be let by the night, week or month.
NEW FIRM.—Thos. Findley having sold out his interest in the Grocery and Provision business
of Findley & Clarke, the firm name is now changed to Clarke & Pettes. Mr. John Pettes, Jr., late of
Sacramento, has become Mr. Findley’s successor, and from his gentlemanly deportment and well known
business tact, cannot fail to win the good offices and partonage of our citizens. Cal. Clarke will, as usual,
do the amiable to all who may favor the new firm with their custom.
THANKS.—We tender our thanks to I. N. Hong, Esq., Secretary, for a complimentary season
ticket to the California State Fair, which commences in Sacramento on the 18th inst; The most extensive
preparations are being made for the accommodation of visitors, and we have no doubt that Grass Valley
will be well represented at the Fair. The officers are leaving nothing undone to render the approaching
Fair a success.

SCHREINER’S BENEFIT.—The grand complimentary benefit tendered to Hubert Shcreiner by the
citizens of Grass Valley, came off at Hamilton Hall last night, and was a magnificent affair. The Hall was
well filled by Schreiner’s admirers, and the performances were excellent. Schreiner’s solo on the violin
was a gem in itself, while Jennie Worrell’s song and dance beat all former efforts of that accomplished
little actress. ... The company left this morning for Sacramento, where they will perform to-night, and
perhaps every night until the close of the State Fair. It has seldom been our good fortune to have so
excellent a company in our midst, and we trust that their efforts elsewhere will be successful.
