SURPRISE VALLEY RECORD - CEDARVILLE, MODOC COUNTY, CAL. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20TH, 1934 HERE & THERE DO YOU KNOW? – That the Candidates’ Ball should be the most amiable affair of the season? We’re wondering if all these pats on the back, pleasantries and sudden attempts toward friendship will continue after November. That the Railroad Commission has ordered the telephone company in Alturas to install a switchboard? What will that do to Cedarville? That rumors has it that Pat Eahart will return this fall to resume his musical instructions after all? And didn’t we tell you about the Tandy – Bailey marital knot long before it happened? We know who’s next, too; we do! That a black widow spider was found in our valley? Our warning would be – never sit in dark corners before investigating nor play in the hay before thoroughly examining each straw. Oh, yes, and don’t put on old, discarded shoes. That the Ladies Aid has accomplished more beneficiary things than any other organization in Cedarville? That the 4th of July will unfortunately be a scorcher? That there should be more than 10 and 20 per cent coming on our dollars from the collapsed Modoc County Bank later on? And what those weird noises are one hears around Cedarville some evenings far into the night? That constables and Justice of the Peace are reputedly supposed to practice what they preach? That john Cox has a couple more deer hunters for John Ennis this fall? OBSERVATIONS: - "Buck" Hill amazingly swank in a new outfit – complete from gloves to white shoes – rather fitting example of what the well dressed young man will wear during the summer months… and Lizzie Carter Read in striped overalls – gardening and contemplating on picking some elegant looking cherries… Jack Wheeler and wife visiting the L. A. Wheeler’s and they were very magnanimous hearted Saturday night when the town charivaried them… Mary Erramouspe – home from San Francisco and looking splendid… Irma Cummins also in town again with a three-months tour in Europe ahead of her… and some of the younger people around town are still talking about the extraordinary time they had in Lakeview at the "Old Mill" last weekend… a lady near Eagleville building fence – where’s her husband? Or are you fencing him out unbeknown? A lone sheepherder who proved to be L. L. Hays… green grass all around thanks to occasional showers… Dr. Kennedy in an absent minded pace down the sidewalk; and when we say he had "something" on his mind – we mean "plenty"… Sunsets that are sunsets these last few weeks! Alex Ash – the drollest resident in Cedarville… "Sonny" (Gerald) Jopson, Johnnie Bilboa, Jimmie Hawkins, Willard Wylie and an out-of-town bully (they said) just before a small civil war – and if a couple of parents hadn’t arrived at the opportune moment we would have had to prevent a couple of black eyes.
