Hollister Telegraph
25 Jul 1878
****************
[missing issue]
Born -- in Hollister, July 21, to the wife of John H. DRAIN, a daughter.
Died -- near Gilroy, July 22, Mrs. Pauline ELROD, aged 73 years, mother
of Mrs. H. DOWDY, of this place.
Mr. S.H. BRUMMETT, of Gilroy, is the happy father of a brand new boy.
We noticed R.C. McCROSKEY, of Salinas, in town this week.
On account of rust and wild oats, Mr. SALLYs wheat crop near the depot,
failed to produce much, if any, over half a crop.
The Advance has changed from a daily to a tri-weekly, Robert SHAW being
sole proprietor, Mr. L.T. BALDWIN having withdrawn from the firm.
Quite a number of our townspeople are now capering around the sea shore.
Mr. GRUBB and party returned this week looking brown and healthy.
Jud HAMILTON has just completed for Charley COOK, one of the finest
saddles we have seen in the country. It bears the impress of superior
workmanship.
Marshal McBROOM, on account of failing health, started last Tuesday
morning for Santa Barbara. He will be absent a few weeks.
Our good friend, John SHIELDS, of San Benito, paid us a call yesterday.
He reported his crop as turning out finely, and was happy to know that he
could get $1.50 per cental for his wheat.
Mr. Dan McPHAIL, while in town last week, gave us a friendly call. He
reports crops turning out well in his neighborhood. His wheat yields an
average of 20 bags per acre, and barley 35 bushels.
Hon. J.H. MATTHEWS, of Bitterwater, and L.A. MOSSIP, of San Benito, are
in town. The fine samples of grain, and the smiling countenances these
gentlemen bring with them, indicate that all s serene up their way.
Mr. COURTNEY, who has just opened a fruit, vegetable, and general
provision store next door to Mr. McCROSKEYs real estate office, has our
thanks for favors received. He keeps a good quality of cigars that we
know of.
It now turns out that the ditching of Paris KILBURNs steam thresher near
San Juan, a short time since, was the result of careless driving by a
drunken teamster. We can hardly believe this, for it is gravely intimated
that Charley MITCHEL, aching for a rumpus with Monterey county, as well
as for the purpose of satisfying a tragically propensity, dumped the
thresher off the grade with his own hands. While Charley may deny any
connection with the unfortunate affair, it bears the semblance of truth,
and the world will not rest easy until an open disclaimer is made.
Messrs. G.W. CALL and Hugh MATTHEWS, of Emmet, were in town this week.
The Telegraph office was complimented with a fine assortment of garden
vegetables, watermelons, etc., for which we return thanks. Hugh told us
slyly that he knew where a couple of old bucks roosted, and that any
time we could find it convenient, he would assist in their capture.
Mrs. STEARNS, who has been visiting with her aunt, Mrs. WILSON, of this
place for several months, took her departure last Monday, for her home in
Minnesota. She took with her Freddie, one of Mrs. WILSONs elder
children. While here, Mrs. STEARNS made many warm friends and
acquaintances, who regretted to see her bid Hollister a last adieu.
Mr. A. LEONARD was in town this week on business. He appeared very much
encouraged at the way crops were turning out in his section of the
country. Twenty bags to the acre, he thinks, is a low estimate to place
upon the yield on the San Benito. Further on South, crops are turning out
well, save, perhaps, in a few spots in Bitterwater valley. Farmers on the
Tres Pinos Creek are highly elated over their prospects, also. Mr.
LEONARD, having leased his popular hotel to Mr. John LAMBERT, has turned
his attention solely to farming and stock-raising.
On the last Saturday in June the school election in Cienega District took
place, resulting in the choice of Messrs. James H. LAWN and W.J. CROW for
Trustees. School commenced on the 8th inst., Miss Ida RHINEHART, teacher.
There are 16 children in the District, 11 of whom attend the school. The
building now occupied is a small structure located on Mr. CROWs ranch
Mr. B.B. McCROSKEY, brother of John McCROSKEY, of this place and R.C.
McCROSKEY, of Salinas, whom we mentioned a while back as having arrived
here from Tennessee, has established a law office in this place, and
intends to live and die with us. Mr. M. comes amongst us well recommended
as a lawyer and clever gentleman, and we hope he has cast his lot not
only in a pleasant, but profitable place.
