Mr. Deadnian is having his land surveyed otf into small tracts, presumably with the intention of offering them for sale. The shooting match at S. E. prague's last Saturday was a grand success. A large crowd attended and all enjoyed themselves. A party of young folks from near the Hatchery attended the literary last Satar day. In the party were Miss Hatton, John Hatton, Mr. Mum power and many others whose names we did not learn. The literary society is becoming quite a success. A dialogue by Alfred bprague and Dan Moshier was exceptionally well done, while Miss Clara Hatton's recitation brought down the house, so to speak. George Br ian's children gave the society a treat with their fine singing. The debate was spirited and good arguments were made on both aides, but it was decided in favor ol the negative, led by Win. Stone. Two young ladies, Mattie lemtster and Ida Young took part in the debate. New officers were elected at this meeting. Win.

HAZELIA HAPPENINGS. Death of a Pioneer lady Who Was Formerly la the Employ of President Lincoln. Hazelia, Dec. 11. That grim old monster "Lagrippe" has made himself very familiar the last month among us, but all are shak ing themselves tree from his grasp, but Mr. F.Ford. He is a little better at this writ ing but is still very low. If we could have a few days of sunshine it would be greatly appreciated as some are not yet through with potato digging. The early rains caused many (jotatues to rot on low ground, but the hill laud produced a good crop both in quantity and quality. But very little fall plowing has been done so far. The hop craze has struck ns and the re sult will be many new yards ill be planted and old ones enlarged. Messrs. Shipley, Hays, Eaton, Broun, Carpenter and Lacy are among the ones that are going to try their luck in hops. Messrs. Hays and A. W. Shipley have small yards and their suc cess has proved that fir bill lands are Hue for hop culture. I can not tell of as many improvements as some of your correspondents, yet we are not failing far behind as Messrs. Hays and Whittin have built fine barns the past sum mer. Our school, with Prof. Elery as teacher, is progressing finely. The Hazelia literary society meets semi monthly and is well attended. It has a paper, the Record, that keeps the p. ople posted on home affairs. Mrs. Coply, of Portland is here nursing ber father, Mr. Ford. She has had many years experience as a nurse and thoroughly understands ber business. Mrs. 8. E. Shipley, of Corvallis, is visiting ber sons M. K., L. A. and A.W.Shipley. Key. W. 8. Strubble and family leave to night for 31 ichigan to remain some time if they like the country. Mrs. 8. was born nd raised here and ne regret to see tier leave. Mrs. Lacy lias a cousin, Miss Mary Calk ins, of Sherwood, spending the winter with ber. Miss C. is attending school. Owing to the sickness of many of the members, and the death of little Carl Dick erson, the Oswego grange postponed its meeting from the 9th to the ICth inst., when ' there will be the annual election of otTcers. In the death of Mrs. Armstrong we hare lost another pioneer. She with her hus band, who died several years sg, settled on the claim where she died in the early fifties. She left a ftmily of four sons and one daughter. All were here to follow her remains to their last resting place. The one incident that Mrs. A. loved to tell was that in ber early years she was a servant in the family of A. Lincoln. but they were gone and the gvueral deci sion of all that came to the scene was that they were fast some place and kept him from floating. His wife, came from Oregon City with the undertaker to lake the last look at her unfortunate loved one. The advance agent of the Cape Horn Telegraph company was at this place a few days last week soliciting stock holders. 0.uite a number favored the company and the shares taken ranged from one to twenty, each share being valued at five dollars. The majority of the people are in favor tf this new enterprise and will do all they can ,' to get the line completed. We cannot reasonably ask for a motor line until we have paying industries so that a company may see that it will not loose money when they have invested it in a railroad. This telegraph line is certainly a favorable pros pective investment and will help to develop this part of the county. When the time for motor lines there are different places along the route where good water power ran be obtained. For Instance, Jack Knolts has fitly-horse power where an old saw mill once stood and the race is still In quite good condition, also a power can be utiliied for electric power between Mullno and Cnion Mills.. C. E. Nash and sister opened a nice little grocery store in the Kellogg building. Mr. Nash is an accommodating young man and will do only a rah business. Grandpa Darnell is unite sick. It is feared that he will never recover again as he is not able to sit up nor to take any nourish ment. May Jones' mother, sister and brother have been visiting her and family the past week.
