LOCAL IN BRIEF.
The Ladies Aid society had an
old-time meeting with Mrs. Rite
Dedrick Tuesday afternoon, four
teen being present. It was decided
to hold the fair in the near future,
and until after that time the attend
ance is expected to be even better
than it was Tnesday. The officers
are greatly encouraged. After ad
journment the members "posed"
in front of Mrs. Dedrick's pretty
home while Mrs. D. H. Magee took
couple of snap shots with her
kodak. The larkgroundof the
picture, at least, is sure to be beau
tiful. The next meeting will be

from next Tuesday, October 2.
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 variety is not known,
but its acquaintance is worth cul
tivating. J. E. Price, who registers from
Portland, but is apparently from
several places,' returned Monday
from an inspection of the timber in
the Siletz country. We understand
he is a capitalist, and is looking for
jpod timber and locations for saw-
Ir p"ce arrved at any
conclusion concerning his observa
tions here he certainly failed to
"give it away."

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. The
society appreciates all such assist
ance in the good work.
Our stock of fishermen's furnish
ings is the most complete. We
have all kinds of seine twine, linen
twine domestic and imported, ce
dar corks, cork and lead line, lead,
web, coats, hats, oars, etc., etc.

ing to hear Rev. Dawson. At the

E. Hawkins, clerk; Mrs. C. E.
Hawkins, County' Superintendent
Bethers, Rev. Isaac Dawson of
Newport, Attorney B. F. Jones
and Dr. Thayer." All made brief
but interesting remarks with the
exception of Messrs. Ofstodahl and
Rache. No citizen of Toledo is
more deeply interested in educa
tional matters than Dr. Thayer,
and he promised renewed and
greater efforts in behalf of the To
ledo schools. His remarks were
especially encouraging, as his abil
ity to "get Thayer" is recognized
by every acquaintance. Toledo's
reputation for good schools is wide
spread. It is one of the principal
factors in the advancement of Lin
