Fok the first time ju our life wo have 
been confined to our bed with illness. W 
had a very close call, but having a strong 
constitution, and receiving the watchful, 
tender nursing of a good wife, assisted by 
tho “doses” prescribed by a skillful phys'e 
cian, we are able to be nut after a four 
weeks’ siege. Tho only consolation 
had in being sick, waa from the visits 
of kind friends, and their message* of syni 
pathy. We take this time and opportu¬ 
nity to thank tho friends, ’ " * 
their many kindnesses. 
and all, for

Money To Loan.—A t this office, 
sums of #500 and #1,000, on real estate t 
OJrity, at 10 per cent, interest. 
Ovtcb 2,000 letters oi inquiry about 
Southern California, have been received at 
this office. We have sent nearly 100,000 
copies of the Saui-Tumm East, snd their 
influenco has done this section of the State, 
and especially l.os Angeles county, an in- 
calculable amount of good. 
The greater part of our apAGa has been 
devoted to agricultural and horticultural 
mailers; and ns art agricultural paper, has 
received the indorsements of the best agri 
culturists and horticulturists, not only of 
this coast, but of the United Staten. 
As an emigration paper, the SKMi-Tmirir, 
has always been honest in truly represent¬ 
ing Southern California as she is, Wi 
would bu doing our country nil injury by 
inducing people to come here through mis¬ 
representation, and we shall always tell 
only what can he substantiated by good 
evidence. 
Thi* number is almost entirely de voted 
fo answering the many questions asked 
about Southern California, and we hope it 
will result in great good, ns a large edition 
will be issued for circulation in the East, 
mid will be placed in the principal news' 
stands, public libraries and hotels in that 
section, and on the overland trains leaving 
Omaha and Kansas City for California. 
Our citizens who would write a long letter 
to Iriends East, can do bo by mailing this 
issue to them. Extra copies can lie had at 
nny of the ncws-slumls in this city, or at 
this office.
