tho deacon, who was indeed tho very
soul of honor mid ever had tho respect
and confidence of all in that com tim
idly, was in tho habit, before regulur
preachers wcro sent thorn, of reading a
sermon or exhorting. Them was no
sham about Drunoii Trowbridgo' piety.

Fifty yeurx ago tho little vlllago was
vlaited by a smallpox epidemic au old
fiiidiioueil, wlileMprcad and spreading

Thu first Hmiilny after tho dreaded
disease mailt! its uipi.:iriiuce thu deacon's
congregation was unite largo. At tho
i-iil of the mtv ices he made an aiinouniM)-
nieiit III uhoiit these words;
"Thesesi r vices will he postponed un

is my plain duty to help my distressed

The word was well suited to tho ac
tion which followed. The good old ilea
con htirrl'd to his homo, changed his
clothes, Lude his family goodby and ut
once began his work of mercy. What a
work it wuh! Tho epidemic lusted near
ly ull winter. Lurgu numbers died. Few
iu tho viliagt) escaped thu diseuse. Tho
deacon's c-iamplo was followed by oth
ers. Meu went to their homos, told their
wives and children what the deacon hud
said and wan doing, arranged tbeir busi- I
ness, provided fuel and provisions, klnsed
their d"ur ones aud went to the aid of
tlio unfortunate. Like the deacon they
went vt ithuul reward or Impu of reward.

neighbors und dear friends. When tbe
good old Christian hud read a chapter,
praynl uud talk d a practical senium,
be referred icciiugly lo thu ikius
through which thu community had

child lu thu room, including thedeaoou,

all present to join him on their kueeg
in asking that thu commuuity might
tiscapo sucii visitations for all time to

believo tlmt tlmt prayer bus been an
swered. There may have been a few
casus of smullpox thero since then, but
thero bus never bceu an epidemic
Tho Suuduy aftur Sumter was fired
upon, aud while Deacon Trowbridge
was conducting services in the Baptist
church, tbe denomination to which be
belonged for over 60 years, ho and his
oougrcgutiuu wure disturbed by a groat
coin motion in tbe street right in front
of the church. There wore beatiug of
drums aud sounds of fife much out of
tune. It wus so uncommon a thing thut
most of tho cougrcgation walked or
ran out of the church. Finally tho dea
con closed the Bible and slowly follow-1
ed bis Hoeing flock. Wbea outside, be
asked tbe cause of "this unseemly dis-1
turbauce on the Lord's day." Some one
told him that tho president bod called
for soldiers to uphold tbe honor and the
flag of tho nation aud that they were j
going to raise a company right then :
and there.
The old doacou'a oyes flushed as bo i
walked out into thu street, where a ,
young fellow was irregularly pounding

The factory towns of tho East are noted
for affording the best market to the neigh
boring farmers and gardeners in proportioa
to the population of any of the towns in
that section. The reason for this is that
the people of these towns have a fixed in
come upon which they can always depend,
and, as a consequence, they are liberal buy
ers, paying cash for all their purchases.
This is proven every day by the number
of farmers, who are to be seen on its 6treets
selling their produce, who, until just tho
last few years, sought the markets of other
towns. Tbe system of macadamized roads
that is being built into all parts of Clack
amas county, will enable all the people of
this county to share in the profitable mar
ket that Oregon City affords. If, as it is
sure to do, the demands of Oregon City in
crease in the next five years as it has in the
past five years, this city will rank next to
Portland as a market place for
of the Farmer
on Job Printing.
