A good woman can bring more sunshine and happiness into family circle than a barrel of silver or a mine of gold, and can make all around her happy and contented as well as "be ing the same herself.

It is a notable fact says an exchange that many good items are bat to the newspapers every week by the modesty of the people who hesitate to tell the editor malters concerning themselves The right thing to do is to courteously stop the newspaper man on the street or any place you may see him and tell him vou have been on a visit, have rela lives visiting you, that you and you wife have a new baby at your house, or that your wife entertained friends, or anything that is in any way a matter of news.

GIE8Y At Aurora, on February 8th, Andrew Giesy, aged 81 years, 3 month, and 8 days. Mr. Giesy was born, November 1, 1817, in Alleghany county, near Pitts burg, Penn. From there went to Bethel, Mo,, where lie resided until 1876, when with his famiiy came to Oregon, settling lu Aurora and lived there until Ills death. Historically speaking, Mr. Giesy carried the name of having been a great man, as will be substantiated by many who had the opportunity of haying been intimately acquainted with him. He prominently figured in the manage ment of the Bethel Colony, from which the well known Aurora Colony was originated, although both of these colonies are and have been dissolved for sometime. He was president of the Missouri Colony from the year 1802 until 1876, when at this peried being desirous of coming West, lis surrendered his past. During his 14 years management of the affairs of the last named colony he was also entrusted with the fresuryship, the custom being that the presiding officer was also to act as treasurer, to have control of and keep the books and manage the financial affairs of the society In general. Not unlike other re sponsible callings, Mr. Giesy encountered and had to brave many obstacles and un pleasantness in order to uphold the wel fare, rights and peace of the people who looked to him for their treatment, as each one viewed It. Since it seems to be an imposslbilify that every body can be pleased from one source, so it may not be out of order lo say that In his strong endeavors to hold (for the colony) their just belongings, he, as leader, was dragged into courts for what in his honest belief he considered unjust claims against the body, and had to fight it there to prove and retain it for the peo ple justly entitled thereto, this he al ways did with out compensation. Another example of his uprightness was that in the beginning of his callings. All the real estate belonging to the dif ferent parties constituting the colony was deeded to him, containing several acres of valuable real estate in cluding the entire town of Bethel, which he voluntarily deeded back to the proper parties when stepping off bis position. Mr. GieBy leaves two son, William and Andrew II. Giesy, who are at present conducting a general merchandise store in Aurora under the firm name of A. H. Giesy & Co., three daughters, Miss Mury A., Miss Catharine A. and Miss Mitilda Giesy are living on the old homestead, and Mrs. Geo. Miller, wife of the S. P. R.

On Monday the county commissioners met and inspected the Clackamas bridge, which has'been undergoing repairs, The work was accepted. The old county court made an order for the judge inspect the work, a pro vision that woald not have cost the county one cent. The new system cost milage and per diem for each of the commissioners, amounting to $11.80. So much for the new system. Salaries of County Officers. The late legislature passed a bill changing! the salaries of the county officials, The measures is spoken ol by the promoters as one economy, but the opposite is the truth. The sheriff at present receives $2000 a year and furnishes his own deputy. The now law cuts the salary to $1700, but that is so low that the sheriff will be compelled to have the county pay the salary of the deputy, $000 a year, which means an increase in expenses of $300 a year. The recorder at present receives $1500 and pays his own deputy. This is cut to $1200, with deputy at $900, An in crease of $300. The clerk is allowed a doputy now and his salary is reduced $300. The school superintendent's salary is raised $400, but the fees are abolished, which will make the superintendent's compensation about ths same. The additional county commissioner and the large number of extra sessions that will be necessary to transact the business means an additional expense of several hundred dollars a year. A rumor has been set afloat that the grand jury has besn abolished. This is wrong as the new bill merely provides that cases may bs brought before the circuit eourt without an investigation by the grand jury. 15o for a package of II. O. oat meal and package of II.
