DALLAS, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 18*9.
T he C blebratiom .— Elsewhere will be found
a report of the proceedings of the Fourth of
July meeting held at the Court House last
Thursday. As will be perceived, the working
committees have been wisely selected from
among the citizens who icside at the seat of
operations, so as to avoid dela) and inconve­
nience in communic ting with each other. We
now want to see every individual member of
each of the committees do his or her level best
to make the aflair perfect success. I f we see
a disposition to shrink from duty on the part
of cither o f tbetn we shall not hesitate to give
publicity to the fact. The committee on gen­
eral arrangements will appoint sub committees
in each precinct. It is intended to be a “ bas­
ket purty,” and as many visitors will doubtless
be present from Salem and other localities ad­
jacent, it would be well to make timely prepa­
rations for the comfort o f our guests. As the
^ celebration at Independence comes off on Sat­
urday and the one here on ths following Mon­
day, nothing remains to prevent the majority
o f our citizens from attending both. Let each
of them be such as will reflect credit on the
patriotism and unanimity o f purpose of the cit­
izens of “ Old Polk.”
A B a c h e l o r ’ s B l i s s — Who can imagine it
on his receiving, auonymously, magnificent bo-
quets that have a world of subtle meaning in
their silent language ? We don’ t know exactly
what they say, but then we are weak enough
^o believe that no one would go to the trouble
o f conveying their opinions in so sweetly sen­
timental a manner if they hated us so very bit­
terly. Ah! well! “ where ignorance is bliss
tis folly to be wi e,” for if wo knexc it might
sadly interfere wiih our pea'e o f mind and the
interests of our patrons. But still we were
anxious to find out the fair donor, and called
the services of our little Mercury into requisi
tion, who in a twinkling made this report:
“ T’other eve, as day was gloamit g,
Rode a maiden young and fair;
In ber hand she bore, trtsh blooming,
Richest boquet, culled with care.
•Whither now?’ qu»th I to maiden,
As she cantered o'er the lea ;
And she answered that, full-laden,
All her but then was for thee!”
But the mischievous little elf forgot to ask
w h e ’ her the fair on e Vn q u estion was a ctin g as
principal or proxy in the matter; so we still
remain in tantalizing uncertainty.
R e a d a s d L e a r n . — Some say that it is no
use for them to advertise, says an exchange,
that they have been in the place in business all
their lives, and everybody knows them. Such
people seem to forget to take in consideration
that our country is increasing in population
nearly 40 percent, every ten years, and no
matter how old the place may be, there are
constant changes taking place; some move to
other parts, and strangers fill their places. In
this age of the world, unless the name of a
business firm is kept constantly before the
public, some new firms may start up, and, by
liberally advertising, in a very short time take
the place o f the older one«, and the latter rust
out, as it were, and be forgotton. No man ever
lost money by judici >us advertising.
C o t t a g e H o me . — Our enterprising fellow«
towesmaa, Sam. C. Stiles, the saddler, is engag-
-•J in erecting a substantial and commodious
cottage residence, which for architectural de­
sign and finish will excel anything in Dallas.
'-It is located on the sontb side of Church street,
between Main and Jefferson. Sam is doing a
rushing business and making lots of money
here, and, like a good citizen, does not
bury bis talent in the cartb, but invests and
kaqps bis money in circulation at home. Such
, man deserve te succeed, as they not only give
employment to our mechanics, but also enhance
the value 9f their neighbor’s property by their
enterprise.
A N oveltt .— Our friend James, the photo­
graphic artist at this place, has laid on our
table a finely executed photograph of tUe first
page of the T imes , o f the ordiuary carte de
virile t ito. The reading matter is so fine as to
'.bo barely legible to the naked eye : but Mr.
'James promises us one doable the size, which
will make quite a difference, and which persons
with good optics will be able to decipher. He
has also favored us with some flue views of
local interest, copies of which be has for sale.
Mr. James is an artist in the fullest sense of
the word.
R olling S tones . E tc .— We learn that several
'families from the neighborhood of Bethel, in
this county, are about to emigrate to Bitter
Root -Valley, Montana.
We are sorry to learn
» that anybody is so foolish as to leave fertile,
salubrious Oregon for any such place. A real­
ization of the old fable o f the substance and
the shadow. We will wager two to one they
will repent the step inside o f 1869.
S pecial S ejivicb .—I t is generally under­
stood that divine service will be held at the
Baptist church this evening and to-morrow
morning, Rev. Mr. Baxter officiating. To­

Editor Polk County Timet:— Conduct at the
M. E. Church during the preaching of Father
Waller od last Sunday should be condemned.
Two “ professional gentlemen” who sat on the
left of the stove conduct«d *hemselves ungen-
tlcmanly—one continued thumping his boots
upon the floor, keeping time; while tbe other
every few minutes squirted his tobacco juice
upon the warm stove to bear it “ sizzle,” to the
disgust of men and womer, and to the amuse­
ment of bad boys who were taking lessons of
them. Three women with babies which kept
up a continual squalling remained in tbe house
during tbe whole time o f service, to the infinite
annovancc of all who wished to hear the dis­
course. It has always been a mystery to me,
that a woman would remain in church with a
child which she continually tossed, whirled
over, thumped on the bai k.fcd with cake.apple,
etc., and it continually squalling, distracting
everybody, the mother included, by turning
the attention of tbe audiance to them instead
of tbe preacher. Again, I could never see the
necessity of taking two or three uglv, woolly,
ill-bred dogs to church, to have them follow you
into tbp bouse aud then go snuffing around,
etc. A stranger comes to our town to preach,
a n d the a udience, or rather
In dividu als in the
audience, conduct thems-dves so badly that he
goes away prejudiced ugainst us. Speak out,
Mr. Editor, and you will have the approbation
of every good citizen of Dallas.
ORDER.
Tbe abuses referred to by our correspondent
are of tbe most aggravating character, as our
experience on two or three occasions has proven.
We hesitated to notice them, thinking tbe cases
we refer to were exceptional; but as our corres­
pondent has brought tbe matter up we propose
to speak plainly. We have seen young fellows
(who, of course, claim to be gentlemen) leap or
vault from one pew to another while divine ser­
vice was being administered, others keeping up
an incessant chatter in a subdued tone to the
infinite annoyance of their more respectable
neighbors, while some seemed to come to cnurch
for no other purp so than to ogle the ladies,
pass indecent remarks in relation to them, and
retAil the town scandal of the past peek. We
state nothing but tact when we assert that,
having lived in communities notorious for their
general immorality and recklcssne-s, we have
never seen such gross misconduct and total dis­
regard o f the sacredness of tbe house of God
during divine service as in the quiet, pastoral
town of Dallas. We are loath to make this
admission, but do so hoping the moral sensibil­
ities of the young people referred to are not
■o dead as to make them totally devoid o f self-
respect if they are heedless of the opinions o f
others.
Tbe other abuee referreed to—the nuisance
of squalling babies at public meetings, aud
particularly at divine service— has long been a
mystery to us. and is unquestionably and lit-
terally a crying evil. Mothers will no doubt
call us a “ brute” for assuming this position;
but we have been called worse things iiT telling
the truth, aud in the long run justice has pre­
vailed and we have received our reward Some
mothers will ask: “ Are we to be deprived of
the blessing of attending public worship at all
times merely because we have no one to care
for our baby at home ?” We answer most de­
cidedly— yes ! for a squalling baby destroys
whatever good effects might result to the con­
gregation from tbe preachiog of the truth, by
distracting their attention from the minister,
and making attendance at church a severe
penanoe instead of a pious pleasure ; besides,
it is impossible for the mother herself to reap
auy benefit whatever from tbe ministration, her
whole time and attention keiug occupied in
attempting to soothe aud quiet her turbulent
offspring.
I f you would serve God, an I do unto your
neighbor your duty as a Christian, do not take
your babi es to tbe House of Worship.
This is a subject that much may and ought to
be said upon,but we hope there will be no furth­
er necessity tor censuring the good people o f
Dallas on this score.
“ S till T n ir C ome !” — We’ ve got another,
and such a duck of a nosegay —but our descrip­
tive powers are not equal to the task. Fortu­
nately the charming donor on this occasion
left her card (we wish it had been her photo­
graph). Young gentlemen about town need
not feel at all jealous ; but then she’s young,
beautiful, accomplished, sensible, loveable,
sylph-like----- Goodness gracious! we are for­
getting the dignity o f the tripod; so w ell re­
serve the balance for * different occasion.

[ ADVERTIS EMENT. ]
S u p p o r t t h e P r e s s . — A great statesman has
said, and truthfully too, “ that the individual
who nert r reads the public press, was at least
a half century in the rear of the present age.”
Newspapers, says an exchange, are the eleva-
t >rs, refiners and moulders of public taste.—
Their influence pervades all tbe avenues o f lifei
and as arbiters, their decisions are universally
heeded in the great arena of the political, so
cial and religious world. As such, do they
not deserve the favor and patronage of that
public to whose interests they have devoted
-their energies?
Newspapers, by enhancing
the value of property in their neighborhood,
and giving tbe locality in which they are pub­
lished a reputation abroad, benefit all, particu­
larly if they arc merchants or real estate own­
ers, thrice the amount yearly o f the sum they
pay for their Bupport. Besides, every spirited
citizen has a lauduble pride of having a paper
of which he is not ashamed, even though he
should pick iLup in New York or Washington.
A good-locking, thriving,live newspaper helps
to sell property, gives character to the locality,
and in all respects is a desirable public con­
venience. If, from any cause, tbe matter in tbe
local or editorial columns should not be quite
up to your standard, do not cast it aside and
pronounce it of no account, until you are satis­
fied that there has been no more labor bestowed
upon it than is paid for. If you want a good
readable sheet, it must be supported. Tbe local
press is the “ power that moves the pcrplo.”
