Y e E ditor leaves this coming week to spend New Year s at his home in Hillsboro, Oregon, and to attend the State Editori.d A-socia- tion, which meets in Portland in January, combining both pleasure an«l business.

While in the city we shall select a new serial story, which will commence shortly, and new material which will greatly assist in getting out a newspaper which will be a credit to Bandon. As we expect to make the trip by steamer Breakwater, we will say that we do not intend to heave up our socks, the experience of so many, as we do not wear any. When it comes to feeding the little fishes, we expect and anticipate to feed as many as the next one. But, anyway, it our plans materialize, and we have no reason to think otherwise, we w'll be able soon to print all at home eight pages regularly. During our absence and this Aeek we are printing only the old size, four Myrtle Point Note*. pages.
