NEWFbRT NEWS. Jotting From that Resort The Mannei in Which the Inhabitants Kill Time Description of the Place. Editor Chronicle : The pleasant weather just succeeding the rain has again increased the summer travel and every evening a full boat load of visitors arrive and are welcomed at the wharf by the music of the band. Surf bathing at the jetty and at the Nye creek beach is among the favorite diversions. The popular theory here in regard to the accidental loss ol life while bathing at other resorts along the coast, is that the victims froze to death in the icy cold waters of the ocean. After a few trials I am convinced that the heal thiest mode of surf botbing is to go in jusi long enough to "holler, Oh!" and then come right out. The point Happy Hollow is well covered with tents, und is the most pop ular camping ground adjacent to New port cn account of the fine views ot the town and harbor. Nye creek, however, leads in point of numbers. Happy Hollow is cosmopolitan, plain and unassuming. Everyone wears their old clothes every day, wade in the mud to dig shrimps and crohogs, fish lor flounders all day, and come home happy at night with only squaw fish, bull heads and mud fish to show for their day's sport. Our camp is no solitude ; the distant roar of the surf mingles with the regular evening baud concert on Main street and tne merry cackle ol mother Carey's chickens on the sand bar just across the channel. But no sea-going craft seeks the friendly shelter of this port, and one cannot help wondering what the inhab itants here will do for a living when the summer visitors are gone. Among the campers at the hollow dur ing the week are : Mesdames James, Kelly, Geo Brown, Toouiey, of the Co lumbia hotel, Frank Fisher, and Ben Wilson, all of The Dalles, and Mrs. Wil helin, of Moro, Mrs. J. Brown, of Salem, aud Mr. and Mrs. J. Nat Hudson, of the Suinpter News, Baker county. The first of September will see a thin ning out of the crowds now here, as many will return home to get ready for the fall term of school. W. and are entitled as follows: Wild American Poppies.

Upon the principles of Christianity, and the duties and obligations of chris tian wedlock recognized and faithfully discharged, rests the stability and per manency of oar government, the sanc tity of the home and the virtue and honor of our social institutions. These tbinzs rightly understood impart to a wedding more than the ordinary or pass ing interest, and invests such an occa sion with a solemnity, and yet with a joy and delight all too lightly appre ciated. On August 18, 1898, your contributor had tLe ileaeure of attending the de lightful weddiug of Mr. Benjamin L. Davison and Miss Edith Pearl Potter, at Belmont, in the unsurpassed Hood River valley, the home of the bride's pareute, Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Potter,, famous throughout the whole country side fur their generous and cordial hos pitality. By a happy coincidence, the occasion was also the anniversary of the wedding of Mr. und Mrs. Potter, who have been married thicty-sevvn years. Rev. Robert Warner, presiding elder of The Dalles district, solemnized the wedding of their daughter to Mr. Davi son, and the marriage with the ring and the responsive service was very interest ing and impressive. The bride was tastefully attired in conventional white, with veil and appropriate flowers. Un der the marriage bell the happy couple received the heartlul congratulation of their parents, relatives and friends, and then led the way to the dining room, where all partook of an elaborate and bountiful supper amid mirthfullness and genuine good feeling. The prevading atmosphere might well indicate to a looker on, that the present was an omen of the other similar occa sions from among the happy group. And why not? The invited guests, a number of whom were childhood friends of the bride, were : Rev Robert Warner, The Dalles; Mr and Mrs Frank McFarland, sister of the the bride. Earl Carrol, Victor McFar land, Mr and Mrs E Qnackenbnsb and Fred Quackenbush, all of Portland; Rev and and Mrs G R Archer, Mr W Isenborg, Mr M Isenberg, Miss Bess Isenberg, Miss May Chapman, Mr W Johnes and Miss Maggie Frazier, Mrs Caetner, Mr J Gregory and Eddie Mc Farland, of Hood River; Mr Thomas Gregory, Mr L Gregory and Miss Ruth, of Portland University. A slight personal allusion will indicate the happy auspices, under which these young people embark upon the sea of life together. Mr. Davison is studying for the Methodist ministry and is a genial, earnest and devoted gentleman. Mrs. Davidson is a very sincere and sweet christian woman, and thoroughly in sympathy with her husband's life purpose. She seems to have inherited her mother's warm-heartedness, devo tion and zeal in the christian life. If their lives are spared, the world will surely be richer and better for their presence in it.
