Mr Morgan and CO, cigar manufacturers are here and have purchased some ground from Woolford Bros. On which they propose to try the different grades of tobacco, and they will buy from below until they can produce their own supply...There will be some satisfaction in smoking cigars from this firm, as a man will know that Chinamen do not manufacture them... Did they actually pull that off and raise tobacco? There will be a big horserace on the 18th , the day set for the fireman's ball and picnic. The horses that are entered are Red Oak, Norris boy's horse, Rondo, Dr. Smith's horse, Monarch and the black mare Lodi and any other horses of Amador or El Dorado Counties... The oak leaf club is about to produce a play entitled "down by the sea" for the purpose of erecting a fense around the cemetary. A couple of "soiled doves" in company with a male bird of the same species, made themselves quite conspicuous in town last Thursday... --pam
