In mentioning this fact, we are led to refer to matters connected with our progress thus far in the world of newspaperdom. A NEW ACQUISITION – For the first time in the history of Redwood City, we have a minister resident among us. Rev. J.S. Zelie, with his family, has taken up his adobe here, and it is an acquisition to our community, well worthy of notice. He is a plain, easy and elegant speaker, and an educated man, one who we feel confident will make many friends in our midst. He preaches at the Court-room every Sunday (to-morrow at three o’clock) and our readers need not hesitate to attend through fear that the congregation will be so small that he will not preach. He is such to preach, if there is anybody to hear him – judging from last Sunday. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS – We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of J.D. Arthur & Son. This firm have the most extensive and varied stock of implements of all kinds for farmers and gardeners, on the Pacific coast. Their articles are of the latest patterns and include the most acceptable and popular improvements in all of them. From the smallest to the largest tool – from a pruning knife to a four horse reaper and mower, or an eight-horse thresher – all may be found at this great emporium. Pay them a visit.
