____________

T. F. Gilliland, a cousin of Mrs. J. Taylor of Amador City and Mrs. E. G. Freeman, formerly of Jackson but now of Oakland, has been visiting in the county for several days. Mr. Gilliland is a pioneer of Amador county, having mined in all the camps of early days. He left here in "53", fifty years ago. This is his first visit since that time, and the march of time is plainly noticed by him. Mr. Gilliland is a resident of Bluffton, Indiana.
