Xotlee ef Annul Fair.
The management of the First Eas
tern Oregon District Agricultural
society, wishes to announce that the
county fair will be held this year at
La Grande, beginning October 4th,
and lasting one week.
The new catalogue will be out now
In a short time, the cause of the de
lay so far has been due to the effort
to get the Wallowa county people
to join us and combine the two fairs.
The new catalogue will be practic
ally the same as the old one, but with
this exception, many of ihe premiums
hive been raised and new features
added, and also a large special list
of premiums will be offered by the
business men of La Grande.
Get your exhibits rerdy for the
largest fair that Utlon county has
ver had. , , . ' . .

There are several kinds
ot drilling but the kind
the kind tnat makes the
farm pay is the drilling
which makes water avail
able. , There is no need
of a dry farm. The task
is not so great as you
may think. I have had

HI THE f All
If any young couple who are ser
iously contemplating marriage hi the
near future will communicate with J.
E. Reynolds, of this city, they will
learn something which will he of great
benefit to them.
Financially there are several of the
young men of marriageable age who
desire greatly to take with them a
"better half",- but have been held back
on account of not being able to set
up housekeeping. If any one of these
will follow the above instructions,
they will learn something that will
remove this barier, for at the com
ing county fair there is going to be
at least one public marriage if the
proper and requisite candidates can
be found. To make the thing worth
while the commltttees in charge of
this wedding have looked after a
prominent place on the program f j
this marralge. Speak up, don't be
bashful.

QUALITY DETEIt MINES SUCCESS.
Quality indicates the man; Quality makes the merchant; Quality
you will remember long after tho price has been forgotten. The
quality and prices of the goods piled up and scattered around
this store will tell you whether or not this la the right place to get
the right quality at the rlght prices. V
Yea, It would be easy to go ahead and enumerate all kinds of drugs,
medicines, .stationery toilet goods, books, combs, brushes, etc. BBut
what's the use? It isn't just things you're after. You want quality,
articles of merit, and things that are pure and wholesome.
TMn Is not a little, dingy place, lt'8 a drug store with lots of good '
goods for good people. It's a drug store o fquality, and the best in
-h beginning Is tho cheapest it the end.
. Business principles that aro broad, honorable and fair to all,
form the keystone for a united friendship.
