Santa Ana, Cal., March 14th, 07.
KniToit CiliKK. Thinning you might
like to hear from this part of the
country, 1 will give you a few items.
We are having nice weather. There
has bcon thus far thirteen weeks of
rain and more is expected as tho time
far the rainy season is not over for
a mouth yet. Crops of all kinds look
well, some fruit trees are beginning to
bloom. At this time of the year butter,
egge aud poultry are the cheaucst.
butter 10 cents, eggs 10 cunts, chickens
per dozen $3. r0 to 94, potatoes 1 cent
per pound, cabbnge retails at 1 cent,
green peas 2J cents, cured moat 7 to 8
cents, fresh lettuce and radishes are
plenty ami some tomatoes mny be
found in the gardens yet, while a few
farmci.s have begun to cut their alfalfa
this is tho first ciopof hay this year.
Thero will be four or live more cuttings
this year. Potatoes aud garden stuff is
grown all the year round so you sec it
don't take much land here to mako a
big farm.
I have wilt ten about Santa Ana in
other articles I will say something
about our neighboring town of Urange
which nearly joins us on the north ami
has a population of about 1S00. The
tesidents are neither rich nor poor but
are cotnfottably housed, ted and clad.
Some homes have been erected which
denote the possession of wealth, but on
an average the residences denoto the
abode of the middle class of people.
As a rule they are people of relinmnent
and modest means rather than the in
dependently rich. A fertile soil
coupled wltit tho thrift of the people
produces a supply of marketable stuff
chiefly horticultural in plentytostipply
an en8V living for them all. Orange is
preeminently a moral vicinity, it sup
ports six churches, Christian, Metho
dUt, Episcopal, Lutheran, Baptist and
rresbyterian and Has tue best ol pub
He schools. It has also put put Itself
on record as against saloons. So
strong is the sentiment in this respect
that it is paractlcally impossible for a
saloon to gain n foothold there. It has
two newspapers which arc doing good
work. It has one bank. Its business
houses as a rule am well stocked and
well patronized. Tho horticultural in
terests of the city are paramount to
every other. Novur waH a place
more appropriately named. When
over you go at this season of tho year
you can seo untold thousands of tho
little golden balls on the trees, on the
ground, In boxes, in wagons or at tho
packinghouses. Ihootangeaud wal
nut ct ops art) veritable mints whoso
annual output is a factor in the
countr.ys' as well as tho cits' ginwth.
For the season beginning last Decern
her the Santa Fe lias shipped 1!18 car
loads of oranges cast ami 11 to San
Francisco. Tho Santa Fe will ship 200
car loads of oranges in all tiiis season
Nineteen cars of dried fruit and 24 of
walnuts wero shipped last season anil
if the Southern Pacillc shipments were
added it would nearly double this
amount. The annual egg output of
this thriving little town is worth over
f 30,000 a year. Peanuts, lemons nnd
other ranch products are continually
being sold thus hrlugingback thousands
of dollars that makes Orange the pros,
perous and growing community it is.
Land may bo bought there at reason
able figures and on easy terms.
As for our county tho ratio of
mortgaged property per assessed
valuation is $3.30 per $100 and like

To tho Public
Wednesday tiightatiliollaptistchiiich
Mr. Davis said it had been circulated
tltat lie had talked with some member
of another church aud told him liu
could not be saved unless he was bap
tized by immersion, and Mr. Davis
said he wished to brand thu statement
as a lie. I am the one Mr. Davis talk
ed to, aud 1 am tho ouo that made tho
statement that he wished to brand as a
lie. I said in a private conversa
tion, and now I say it in public, tltat
Mr. Davis said to me, not in bo many
words but implied as much, that uu
less a man was baptised by immatson
he could not be saved. Mr. Davis said
this was a lie, I say it is the truth. I
wish to tell just what transpired be
tween Bro. Welden, Wm. Davis and
tuyeelf. 1 was iu the office of V. U.
Fulton when Mr. Welden entered and
we at once commenced to converse
about religious matters. He asked 1110
if I had itidentitied myself with any
church and I told him I had, the
Methodist. Uo wanted lo know if I
wuuld bu baptised at the end of tho six
mouths probation aud I told hi in I was
baptised when I was taken in on pro
bation, lie asked how and I said by
sprinkling, and he asKcd me if 1
thought mat was sufficient and 1 said I
uioiigui il was. inen lonoufit aoi-,-mission
ou banilsui until Mr. .ivis en
tered the otllce when he took up the
discussion and Mr. Welden reliied.
Mr. Davis commenced on uiu iu a man
ner 1 tliouuht vet V abusive tor one of
his calling. He ptmlitccil a sermon
and read some of it to me of which the
following is part: "Haby sprinkling is
a sin, .spiiitkling is blasphemy." Mr.
Davis cerlaiuy eiidoised this or he
would not have produced it. Ho lead
from the bible to hid and then talked
ou the passages ho had lead trying to
convince me that the only true baptism
was by iiniiieision. lie said that if a
matt wants lo lead a ttue Christian
life he must follow the teachings of
God, ami that one of his teachings was
baptism ami the only true baptism was
immersion. Now no one will deuy
that if a man wants to be saved lie
must lead a Christian life. Mr. Davis
sayB if a man wants to lead a Christian
life he must follow the teachings of
God, and that vuu of the teachings is
baptism and that the only true baptism
is by immersion. Consequently, ac
cording to bis theory, a man must be
immersed in order to be saved. I sub
mit this to the intelligent people that
they may draw thoir own conclusions.
With all respect to Mr. Davis and his
work I am
Very Itesptfully,

It certainly Is disheartening to a p
tlent to find that the treatment he bi
given for a disease Is more disastrous
than the disease Itself. Such Is tha
case, however, with the usual treat
ment given for diseases of the blood.
Notwithstanding the great progresi
made In many branches of medicine,
the doctors have failed absolutely to
find a successful treatment for blood
poison, and the many diseases having
their origin in the blood. They give
but otic kind of medicine, they know
but one treatment, and whether la
the form of powder, pill or liquid, tho
doctor's prescription Is always the
saute potash or mercury.
Too much cannot be said of the harm
fttl niiddiBiiHtrouacffcctHof these drug.
The doctors arc unable to rid the sys
tem of the polKon, and direct their
efforts toward covering up tho symp
toms from view. There Is but one cf
feet to be obtained from potash and
mercury they bottle up the poison
and dry It up in the system, but it
must be remembered that they dry up
the marrow lu the bones at the same
time, gradually consuming the vital
Ity. Those disfiguring copper-colored
splotches arc but indications of worse
results to iottow. no sooner naa tne
system taken on the full effects of this
powerful drug than that attpplencw
and elasticity of the joints gives way
to a stiffness, followed by the raeking
palna of rheumatism. The form grad
ually bends, the bones ache, while de
crepltudc and helplessness prema
turely take possession of tho body.
Under thla treatment, it Is but a short
step from vigor and health to a pair
of crutches. With this wreck of the
aystcttt often comes falling of the hair
and eyebrows, loss of linger nails,
and decay of the bones a condition
most horrible. This is no overdrawn
picture, for the world to-day Is full of
these hobbling mercurial wrecks.
Contagious Blood Poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. Until the discovery of p. B. B.,
It was incurable. It linn ulwuvs baf
fled the doctors, and it Is in this dis
ease that the evils of mercury and,
potash are most common, because
these drugs are given In such large
doses in an effort to counteract the
poison. While they succeed In bottling
up the poison in the system, it always
breaks forth again, attacking some
delicate organ, frequently the mouth
and throat, filling them with eating
sores. 8. 8. 8. is the only known cure,
for this terrible disease.
It is the saute In other diseases of
the blood. Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer,
Rheumatism, all are given the same:
treatment by the physiciansmercury
and potash, and the result as above set
forth is always the same.
We offer a remedy purely vegetable,
powerful in ita effect, yet harmless iu
every way. For fifty years 8. 8. 8.
has been curing blood diseases, from
the most violent to the mildest case,
after all other treatment failed. It la
? guaranteed purely vegetable, and oao
housand dollars reward is offered for
Sroof to the contrary. It ia a real
lood remedy for real blood troubles,
and never falls to cure Contagious
Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheu
matism, Caacer, or any other disease
f tha blood. If you have a blood du
ee, take a remedy which will ot
is jura you. Beware of mercury ; dost't
do violence to your system. Don't get
bottled up 1 , M
