Rev. E. 8. Bollinger, pastor of the First Congre gational church, substituted an interest inn lecture last Sunday night for the regular evening sermon. The subject of the lecture was: "The Bamplos We Carry" and it was presented in an ex tremely interesting light. Words, acts and thoughts, said the speaker, are the samples of the individual'! stock in trade which was denominated character. It is essential that the samples be truly representative of the goods. Three thoughts were deduced by the speaker from the subject as follow! : All carry aroples, the sample! we carry ihould present our atock of goods, and it ould be the endeavor of each to bave the sample and the goods agree. The lecture waa mails the more interesting hy the introduction of numerous ansa (lutes. Next Sunday evening the an nou need sermon on the suhioct: "Jonah, With the Whale Loft Out" will be omitted and Key. Bollinger will give an outline of Hunyon'a rilgrims Progress.

County Cleik Sleight reports that the fees of his ollice for the month of November amounted to 1505 or $100 in excess of any proceeding month.

As a rule the crop in this county is of good quality. Too Mitch Gossip. There are a lot of character smashers in this town who are always on the lookout for a morsel of gossip nbont their neighbors to roll un der their tongues and then send it forth by every avenue at their command, verbally, writtenly or telephonic, with out giving a thought or curing for the amount of trouble or sorrow they cause the persons about whom their tongues keep wagging. It leoms to us it would be better lor lliem.ami me comuuioiiy ai large.if they would keep inside their own domiciles, look after own their house hold affairs and families a little clooer, and occasionally think ol the hereafter. There is room for them to do a little cal culating on the proposition of ho un comfortable their shins will be when the lurid flame! of bell leap np and en velope their worm-eaten old carrassea. Unleaa they repent and put a plug in the bole in their face its going to be mighty uncomfortable for them when old Mr. Satan throw! in another hunk of coal and knocks out the head -f another bar nl of brimstone and yells out to the chief cook to fliug in another old gossiper Did Not Like Abehdek.v. Jesse George, who recently disposed of his re stsurant business in this city and went to Aberdeen, Wash., has sold out and eft that city. Mr. George was in this citv last Friday on his way to Salem, where he has other business interests. At Aberdeen Mr. Geerge opened up a re staurant and did a. fairly good business, but he says all lines of business are over done in that city where, however, a boom is expected next summer. Mr. George did not care to wait that long for the im proved conditions, and when be had a irood offer disposed of his restaurant. Exorbitant rents are charged at Aber deen, reports Mr. George, who says that a building which rented for $15 per month a vearagoisnow tenanted by men who nay a monthly rental of $75. The occupants of the same building a year ago were seeking to induce the owner to reduce the rent charge to $10 a month The cost of living is in proportion. Send is the News. We would beg to call the attention to many of the corres pondents to the Enterprise that they are neglecting the duty of representing thoir rexpective communities In the corres pondence columns of the Enterprise every wec as tney snouui no. we called attention to this fact in last week's iesue but the response from our c mpe- tent force of reporters throughout the in terior of the county was not what we bad hoped for. Send us the newe while it Is fresh. If you are out of stationery, notify ub of the fact and we will replenish your stock. But we desire to have the happenings ol eacn locality reiiamy re ported in each week's issue of the Enter prise. Begin at once, correspondents, and send in vour news regularly and let the readers of the paper know that your section of the county is still alive. ' Immense Kucckss. The masquerade ball given at the Armory Thanksgiving night by J. II. Turney was a big suc cess, rivaling any other similar party ever given in the city.

Has Located at Oreqom City. D. T. Edmunds, recently from Tillamook, has located in this city. Mr. Edmunds has purchased from Mr. Patzlaff, the latter'! interest in the Oregon City Lum ber Company and will conduct that busi ness in the future. For seventeen years Mr. Edmunds was a resident of Tilla mook. For a number of years he served the people of that section of the state as treasurer of the Port of Tillamook, and and in this and the various other capaci ties in which he wsb emplored he en joyed the fullest confidence of the people of that community.

Petzold, which was located near Elyville, about three miles from this city, was destroyed by fire early Tuesday morning. The ori gin of the fire is unknown, but it is thought to have originated from tbe fur nace, as there was a fire there tbe day before.

The Oregon City poetoffice removed Tuesday night into more commodious quarters in tbe I. O. O. F. building. With its new and up-to-date equipments the local office com pares very favorably with any other of- uce ci ttie same class in the West.

BoooBss in Paw Francisco. 1 tele graphic dispatch fiom Saa Francisco, under date of November 20, tells the following concerning H. M. Boggess, of New Era, this county: "Henry M. Bog gess, an eld man, who says that be fled from Oregon to escape persecution it tbe hands of the "Holy Rollers," a fanatic religious sect, was given lodging at the city prison last night. Boggesa is 62 years of age, and claims to be a spirit medium. According to his story be had a small store in New Era, a village five miles from Oregon City, and incurred the enmity of the "Holy Roller" be cause be refused to join them. They threatened to kill him. so be declares. and, fearing for hi life, be abandoned i his store and fled without even taking f time to draw $199 to bis credit in an Ore gon Ci7 bank. Boggeas lays that be waa taken Into custody on a charge of insanity a few weeks ego, but believes that the arrest was made at the instiga tion of the "Holy Rollers because lie was a medium. He is believed to be demented, aa a result of bis association with the sect." It will be rememt that Boggesi is tbe Spiritualist at " Era who was recently discharged an examination as to bis sanity. He Was Not Lost. Some an ; was felt last week hy the relativi City Engineer E. P. Rands, of this whose unexplained and prolongec sence in the mountains near the i fork of tbe Santiam, in Marion coi was tbe cause of alarm. Mr. Rands bad been gone longer than he had in tended, and his relatives here bad nut heard anything as to bis whereabouts. It appears that be wis unnecessarily de tained at Albany, but did not think tbe incident would cause bis friends any ur easiness, and for this reason did not ne- tify tbem of the conditions that made necessary a more protracted absence.

On Monday the company also paid to the sheriff $958.59 as tuxes on lotssni blocks in Gladstone for the year 1902.
