TEE EXCELLENCE OF SYEUP OF FIGS is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Svrop Co. only, and we wish to impress upon 11 the importance of purchasing the true and original remedy. As the genuine Syrup of Fig's is manufactured by the California Fig Strtjf Co. only, a knowledge of that fact will assist one in avoiding1 the worthless imitations manufactured by other pah ties. The high standing' of the Catjc TOBnia Fio Svktjp Co. with the medi cal profession, and the satisfaction Which the genuine Syrup of Figs has given to millions of families, makes the name of the Company a guaranty of the excellence of its remedy. It is far in advance of all other laxatives, as it acts on the kidneys, liver and bowels without irritating or weaken ing them, and it does cot gripe nor nauseate. In order to get its beneficial effects, please remember the name of the Company CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. SAN FltANCISCO. Cl. MCBmiE, Ky. KEW TOKK.KT. AN OLD RECORD. Jaiora Summoned la 185G, Among: Whom Were Wcll-Btmnn-btrrd Clttzeus. la looking over and classifying the old records r.t the court houBe, many very interesting documents have been dis covered, which call to mind events long past and gone, and revive memories of pioneer Dallesites, who have years ago passed to the beyond, or in a few cages are still livinjr. but have taken up their residence in other places, perhaps oc casionally thinking of early days in The Dalles and of friends who still reside here. Yesterday we etepned into the court room and found Judge Maya and J.-O. Mack perusing a list of grand jurors and petty jurors, which bad been drawn on the 21st day of June, 1856, when Oregon was still a territory. Among the forty iiine jurors drawn we notice the follow ing who still reside in The Dalles : Geo. Snipes, John Irvine and M. M. Cashing. .-Among the others, many of whom have long since joined the silent majority, but - whoee sons are now prominent citizens, filing the positions made vacant by Iheir demise, are ; W. I. Biglow, N. lCocp O. Humason, Joaiah Marsh, P. -Craig. L. P. Henderson, John Stevens, 3D. Bolton, Geo. Mitchell, Vic Trevitt, Wni. C. JLaughlio, Justin Chenoweth, H. P. Isaacs, Win. Logan, J. P. Booth, John Chapman, John Marsh. To those of U3 who cannot realize what great changeahave taken place in The D j lies since the early residentera came here, it is extremely interesting to listen to the recital of events which took place at that time and during the years which Lave followed. Many younger ones, however, remember well when they were just tall enough to reach up to the delivery window when the postoffice was in the old Waldron drug store at the foot of Washington street, and ask Dr. Craig if there was anything for "me." lie always had a amile for them, and w as loved by all the little ones for bis kindly treatment. - Then they re member when Mr. O. Humason died, of bow the children were impressed by the tolling of the bell, and of the immense funeral procession which followed his remains to the cemetery, and of how all the city mourned. . We have all heard time and again of the dreadful accident when the "Brother Jonathan," on ita way between Portland and San Francisco, on the 30th of July, 1865, ran into a rock near Cresent City and waa lost with nearly alt on board, and among the . passengers were Wm Logan and wife, father and mother of . Dr. Logan. Vic Trevitt was well known to all later residents, and many attendtd his funeral, wh'en the remains were taken down by boat and buried on Memalocee island, in deference to a re quest made by him many years before Most ot the others whose names were mentioned, died in this city within the memory of our readers, the last death neriiaps, being that of '; Daniel Bolton father of S. Bolton. We have still a few of the early set tiers among ua, but year by year the list 1-eseene, and soon none will be left to tell of personal - experience', at . Fort Dallep.

A more enjoyable evening could not be deeired than was spent at the Pine Grove Echool house Friday evening lie- fore Christmas. Mise Mamie Driver, teacher of the echool, gave an entertain ment which furnished amusement for the audience, numbering about 159, for four hours, music being furnished bv the Woodcock orchestra, which made the time between scenes pass quickly. The entertainment consisted ot recita tions, solos and dramas. A solo rendered by Claud Roberts, "My Father was a Soldier on the Maine" was very good. .A hosp drill by eight girls dressed in blue, carrying each a hoop in pink with a pink bouquet and bow of ribboD, keeping time to mueic, was one of the prettiest selec tions of the evening and was highly ap plauded. : A song "Merry Christmas Bells," was well rendered, and many other selections that gave great credit to the teacher who trained the scholars who took part and made it the most pleasant evening enjoyed in' Wamic for some time. An admittance of fifteen cents was charged for the purpose of getting money to continue the echool. The receipts were $19. On Monday after Christmas a dance was ' given by the district for the same purpose, which was well attended. Fifty-fonr dollars was received, making a total of seventy-three dollars for the district, which will make Pine Grove school equal to any district school in Waeco county. U. T.
