This Yaquina Bay country isn't celebrated for its peaches, but when the trees are placed in favorable locations and properly cared for the results are gratifying. C. B. Crosno exhibited some specimens this week from a tree in his yard that were all that could be dcsiied in size and flavor; they were, in fact, much better than most of the peaches shipped in here from the valley.

The "B" social given by the Ladies Aid society at Thiel Hall Monday night was a well patronized and very enjoyable affair. The program was somewhat brief, owing to the absence of Sheriff Ross and other musical members of the so ciety, but was entirely satifactory in quality. An invocation by Rev. Brown was followed - by a quar tette, admirably rendered by Messrs. Hawkins, Gaither and Mesdames Swope and Holm. An instrumental solo by Mrs. J. F. Stewart was good enough for any occasion, and the vocal duet by Mesdame Bethers and Swope was also heartily appre ciated. A vocal solo by Miss Jessie Buoy was warmly received and made a fitting close to the well balanced musical part of the pro gram. "Bobbing Betty," the girl with the big pockets, sold her en tire stock of household necessities and curios in about five minutes. It was a "grab-bag" affair, and some of the purchasers went home almost rich. The capital prizes were secured by Dr. Thayer and Miss Tena Helgeson. A peck or less of beans were scattered over the floor of the hall ' and prizes awarded to the lady and gentleman who succeeded in rounding up the greatest number. Mrs. R. A. Ar nold won the lady's prize a bag of candy. Eli Gaither gathered up more beans than any other man or boy in the hunt and was awarded the privilege of kissing "Bobbing Betty," but declined on the ground that he had never done anything of the kind and was too young to be gin in public. In other words, he refused to give a public exhibition until he had more practice. An abundance of excellent cake and coffee left nothing to be desired in the refreshment line, after which n majority of the young people and a few who were not so young in dulged in games or athletic sports. All present seemed to thoroughly enjoy the affair and their patronage brought the society about $14, most of which goes toward paying for the addition to the parsonage.
