Barlow,
Lovely weather these days and every
thing in the uround is growing fine.
Uncle William Barlow and wife, or
Grandma, as we call her, and Miss Vera
Tull arrived home .from Stockton, Cal ,
Saturday evening, where they have been
sojourning (or two months, looking well
and happy ; but grandma is not 10 well
now. Probably rest will help her after
her long ride.' We all hope so, at least.
Uncle Billy says 80 per cent of the peo
ple in California sympathize with the
Boers; and hy not?
Uncle Moses Quint is up from Oregon
City, where he now resides, visiting
around, as lively a 70-year-old man as
could be expected six months after the
doctors had pronounced him incurable,
for which, he says, thanks to Christian
Science.
Mr. Erickson inserted a short notice
in the Courier-Herald some time ago
that he would like to buy a few head of
cattle, and men from Maine to Califor
nia are still calling on him. See the
point?
The Euchre Club sayThey have a very
enjoyable time every Wednesday even
ing. This evening at Henry Hedges'.
Mrs. Obed Quint is in rather poor
health just now.
Literary and Debating Society stock
has gone away below par here since the
adoption of the gold standard.
A word to our populist friends, if you
please: We were living in Minnesota
in 1896, when the mid roaders, encour
aged and backed by the republicans, ran
Dock Ames for governor, who pulled off
just enough populist votes to defeat- the
fusion candidate, John Lind, who was
elected governor in 1898 by a howling
majority, when there was no mid-road
candidate. Beware of the U'Rens and
other republican heelers.
