In the normal condition of things gray hairs belong to advanced age. They have no business whitening the head cf man or woman, who has not begun to go down tho elope of life. As a natter cf fact, the hair turns gray regardless cf r.e, cr cf life's oeasona ; cometimes it is whitened by sickness, but more often from lack cf cere. When tho heir fades cr turna pr:.y there's no need to resort to hair dyes. Tho normal color of the hair is restored end retained by the use of Aye r's Hair Visor.

Clackamas county does not have anv old baronial halls or ancient castles or manorial estutex, but it does have Uncle Billy" Vamthan and his iron 11 wife and their broad homestead nd unbonded hospitality, and the celebra tion of the golden wedding anniversary of that worthy couple at Molalla last Thursday was an event of much nura than ordinary interest. Thouuh it was designed primarily as a family affair, niauy 010, menus 01 ine iamiiy were present, and it was of historic as well as social interest. Nearly four score ot persons spent the day there. They did not need to resort to card-playing or .lancing or other devices used to spur the interest of jaded moJerns; they ate, drank and were merry, every mother's son and daughter of them. The host barbecued some sheep, and around mut ton and green com were gathered tho viands of a feast tempting the palate of the most epicurean. Thirst was slaked from 0 cold spring flowing from the hill side, iii the pool of which swam some dozens of slim-necked bottles. Stiff for mality was banished, and a genial and neighborly interest pervaded the com pany." Various appropriate presents were made, a felicitous address being de livered by J. E. Hedges, Esq., of this city, and in his response Mr, Vaughan told quaintly of some of the circum stances attending his emigration from Tennessee to the fur land of Oregon, and here wedding the fuir young Missouriun, who shared the honors of the duy with him. Mrs. Harrison Wright, who was a wit. ness of the ceremony by which the Rev. Hezekiah Johnson, the pioneer Baptist missionary, united in wedlock William Hatchet Vaughan and Miss Si'san Mary Officer, was present at this golden anni versary, John K, Dickey married an other of the Officer daughters that day, in 1847, calling her from the kitchen, where she was cooking for her younger sister's wedding. Both the Dickevs passed from earth long since. The Vaughans went from the wedding to the place that bus since been their borne. Eleven children were born to them, and All are living. The eldest, Franklin White, lives In Bridgeport, Wash., and hinieeli has 12 children. The others remain in Clackamas county, and they are: Ison Cranlield, Virginia (Mrs. Orren Cutting). Mary Tennessee (Mrs. George Fraaier.) Viola Evaline (Mrs. W. H. Engle), Stonewall Jackson, Hardy Longstreet, Susan Florida (Mrs. N. M. Moody), John Calhoun, Cora Keliun (Mrs. M. F. McCown), and Willian Of tlcer. Though Mr. Vaughan was of a slave holding parentage, his first political af filiations were with the Henry Clay Whigs. However, when the slavery question got more sharply in politics, he forsook the whigs and the names be stowed upon his children speak elo quently of where the old man's heart was. lie lias always been a democratic leader in this county, though he bag never, held office. He belongs to the old school of politicians, who have convic tions, and his political motto is "Fidel ity to friends; no quarters to enemies." To this day lie will leave his gun and dogs or his plow, and hire a hall and make a political speech if he thinks it will serve his party, and his speeches are well worth hearing, too. The usual vicissitudes of life havn come to the Vaughans. He is now 75 years old, and she 64. They see a nu merous, hardy and useful nosleritv around them; they have the largest farm in Clackamas county, notwith standing it has been clipped several times for allowances to some of the children: they have lived worthy and profitable lives, and are respected and honored in their old ge.Orrgonian. Howard Brownell will leave next week to continue his studies at Forest Grove College. During the time he has been employed on the Press that sheet has greatly improved.
