r A Defense of Bakersfield, California. j Ed. Independent: , 1 read a letter in last week’s Independent written by a lady living near j Bakersfield, Cal. Its contents greatly surprised me, as Josie and I spent six ’ months there during our absence while r west. We found the place so very dis j ferent from the description given in that i letter that 1 could not help saying somet thing in its defense. I remember it as a beautiful little ' city, with a population of about five or " six thousand people, including Kern j City, a nice town connected to Bakersfield by thickly dotted residences most j of the distance of one mile and a half, । and it was nothing new to count fifteen and twenty hacks on the road at one time between those two places. I re--1 member the first time I traveled that road we passed and saw so many hacks. I thought it must be an unusually busy day or the occasion of some great event —every one seemed to be hurrying. During the winter months we spent there it rained quite hard three or four times until the streets looked muddy. Josie and I often looked out of our window during the rainy daysand would pity the hackmen sitting on the top of their hacks in the rain waiting for pas eengere. Some of the old settlers told us that it was an unusually cold and dry winter, but we being from a much colder climate did uot think so. Seme of oor. acquaintances were people connected with the land company. They told us they owned 500,000 acres of land in Kern county, and that of course gave them quite a control, yet we found the people who lived on their farms and j worked for them in their different capacities always were sure of a good living, and I often heard the remark, "If you can get to work for the land company you are all right.” Lots in Bakersfield range about like they do in most thrifty cities of that size. I cannot say much about the country, as I was never very far out, except on the railroad. On our homeward journey we came by the way of Fresno to San Francisco. Fresno is the coun ty seat of Fresno county a very nice, thrifty looking city, some larger than Bakersfield and a distance of 110 miles, with a number of smaller towns be I tween. Shaking of the roughness of the place. We lived in the central part of the city and perhaps did not see the rough side, for we found just as good society there as we ever n anywhere. In fact we were surprie and often spoke of the extreme Kindness and । sociability of the people. I can never : forget the cordiality we received, es pecially from the pastor and his wife. i and the whole congregation of the M. E. church. My mind so often runs back Uy that dear church where I can picture Josie so often sitting there with me. ' then after services how thoughtful and I kind they all were to us. never tiring in trying to make our brief stay among them pleasant, and for the sake of all the kindness and noble treatment of ths Bakersfield people to us. and to dear Josie. 1 canuot help but speak in their defense. lbw name of Bakers field has so many tender memories for me, it always brings to mind another name now hushed forever. While there she was so active and full of hope. Mrs. H. F. Robbins. The following conversation was over heard between two citizens of Walkerton the other day: “Some miserable sneak just passed a 12 bill on me." "What are you going to do about it*" “Oh I guess I can work it off on somebody else."

A WONDERFUL CURE OF DURe RHOEA. a PROMINENT VIRGINIA EDITOR Had Almost Given Up, But Wu Brought Back to Perfect Health by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, READ HIS EDITORIAL. From the Times, Hillstille, Va. I suffered with diarrhoea for a long time and thought I was past being cured. I had spent much time and money and suffered so much misery that I had almost decided to give up all hopes of recovery and await the result, but noticing the advertisement of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and also some testimonials stating how some wonderful cures had been wrought by this remedy, I decided to try it. After taking a few doses I was entirely well of that trouble, and I wish to say further to my readers and fellow-suffer-ers that I am a hale and hearty man today and feel as well as I ever did in my hfe R ' Moork - Sold by B.
