As there was plenty of snow and sleighing, quite a large crowd was in attendance. The school house was crowded to its utmost capacity, and it is rumored that several sleigh loads were compelled to withdraw from the same as there was not even standing room for them to occupy. There was quite a large number of pieces, and some of them quite lengthy and they were all rendered in a satisfactory manner, judging from the continued applause that went up from the audience. The best of order was maintained during the entire evening, and all went home well pleased with the entertainment. Much praise is due to Miss Wilcox, the teacher, for the able manner in which the exercises were con ducted. Grakoeb. Cawaitr Teacher's f tltwfo Forest Grotk, January 81, 1888.

'How can the effects of alcoholic beverages, and narcotic be best taught in our schools, and how much time each day should teachers le required to devote to this subject? Introduced by Mrs. Hoxter, who thinks the teacher should explain the bad effects of alcohol aud narcotics on the blood, brain, etc., of the system.

Wilkes, of this county, has written the following letter to the Oregonian, which will be of interest to our many readers. The aged couple referred to are among our most respected pioneers : With all due deference to the venerable couple at Albany, mentioned in Sunday's Oregonian, I must inform them that they are not the oldest couple in Oregon. My grand-parents are, I believe, the oldest couple on the Pacific coast. They live at Greenville, Washington county. Peyton Wilkes was born iu 1791, and so will be 97 years old next May. He is one of the few pensioners of the war of 1812. His wire, Anna Wilkes, is 91 years old, and they were married in 1813 (in J une I think.) They came across the plains in 1845, and settled in Washington county in 1846. They were both born in Bedford county, Virginia, came to In diana about 1820, and to Missouri in 1839. So in following the Star of Empire they kept ahead of the iron horse until he overtook them at the "jumping off place." They have three sons living, twenty-seven grandchildren, forty-one great grandchildren and eight great-great grandchildren living. Grandfather is one of the boys yet; at least he calls my father the old man, and bids fair to reach a hundred, and I will say that if they live to celebrate their diamond wedding the old pioneers of Oregon shall be invited, and we will make them welcome at the old home stead. If there is an older pioneer In Oregon or an older couple in the United States we should like to bear from them. . VMRMT VKOVR 1VOTK8). (From oar Regular Correspondent ) E. C. Showers, who has located at Eat Portland in the law business, is iu the Grove for a few days. Mrs. J. F. Ellis has been appointed agent in this place for the Century organ, which is handled by Mr. Wiley B. Allen, f Portland. The instrument is a most elegant design, and certainly surpasses any organ we have ever listened to. in parity and clearness' of tone. The in strument has been introduced on this coast only within the last few weeks.aud offers the latest Improvements at what seems, to say the Ieat, a remarkably reasonable price. B. F. Blood, a former resident of the Grove, was In town this week . A Union Bible society meeting will lx held at the Congregational church next Sunday evening, leginning at 7 o'clock. Mr. Bradley, who went to Yaijuiua from here about two vi urs sgo, is back sgatn on a visit. Forest Grove is having her periodical turmoil over the town election. It seems that Hiram Clark, the newly elected marshal, is not eligible to the office, not having lived here one year, as required by the charter. Mr. Clark, however, was elected and sworn in before the irregu laris. wa discovered, and is able to say with a goood deal of confidence, "What are you going to do about it f Unless he resigns, he can only be removed by the district court, which doe- not con vene until March; by that time Mr. Clark will have resided in town the required length of time and would doubtless be immediately reappointed liy the board. The vote for this officer was: Clark, 29; Keen, 17; Adkins, 13. The new board have no desire to contest Mr. Clark's right to the elfice, and as be has been duly elected and qualified, we presume no one else will take the matter up. The subject has Ieen thoroughly discussed and has caused no small amount of c citement here during the past week. We might state that Mr. Jonc, one of the newly elected trustee?, is iu the same boat with Mr. ClarK. It is amusing, at least, to read the criticisms of the woman Millrage bill recently enacted by the Wa-hinyton territory legislature, in la-t Saturday's Oregonian. The editor admits that "it was endorsed by both party platforms," and then talks a'nmt the total unpopu larity of the measure; doe anyone sup pose that both parties would eagerly endorse such an unjtopular ineasuie "as a mere catch bait" for voles '. The fact that over 10,000 women voted at one election in the tenitory, ought to dipcl the idea of "piactuull) nullifying the law" by the lack of interest on the part of the women themsclie. When the editor of the Oregonian Mates that "the sensible scheme for the annexation of a portion of Idaho to Washington territory has been blasted by this passage f the woman suffrage act." he makes a state ment which he well knows will not bear analysis. The inhabitants of the "pan handle" of Idaho urged the passage of an annexation bill, and it was duly passed by congress while Washington territory had woman suffrage. The bill was vetoed by President Cleveland, not, however, ou account of woman suffrage. The assertion that the passage of this act "will surely repel immigration" is merely an appeal to prejudice, and is utterly absurd. If, as the Oregonian says, the woman suffrage plank in the party plat form need not comjiel the members elected on that platform to vote for such a measure, then the party platform is indeed becoming worthless as a party policy, and the Oregonian may be under stood as favoring this breech of pledge. The fact is, woman suffrage is favored by the best elements in Washington territory, and Governor Semplc clearly followed the instructions of loth political parties in signing the bill. The question, "Resolved that congress should establish a postal telegraph sys tem," will Ik? discussed by the Gamma Sigma society this evening. Affirmative, Millar; colleague. Nelson; negative, Myers; colleague, Smith. Grant Smith and Miss Rhoda Martin were married at Dilley last Sunday, Rev. J. W. II. Adkins ofliciating. Sheriff Cornelius will meet the tax payers of Forest Grove on next Tuesday, January 31st. Alvin T.

Goodell, of Astoria. The funeral occurred from his residence, at 1 o'clock on Wednesday. The memliers of the Baptist Sunday school will give a "chraesie sewshawbul' in Vert's hall next Friday evening, Feb ruary 3. Particular next week. The Forest Grove district school has received a new set of maps, which will be of great value in the school work. Public rhetoricals were well attended last Friday afternoon, and were up to the usual standard. The following notice was posted on a tree near the college building one day this week. "Found A pocket knife, bow in possession of the undersigned. The owner is requested to prove propertv, pay charges and take it away. (Signed) W. N. Ferrin." As the professor prides himself on his muscle, it is doubtful whether "the owner" will care to under take the last condition. What Am I tm ? The symptoms of Biliousness are un happily but too well known. They differ in different individuals to some extent. A Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an excellent appetite for liquids but none for solids of a morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not white and furred, it is rough, at all events. The digestive sytem is wholly out of order and Diarrhea or Constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate. There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or flatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach. To correct all this if not effect a cure try I Green's August Flower, it costs but a I trifle and thousands attest its efficacy. VsIh ! The Creamtrf, Does It pay to make creamery butter rather than dairy? Let us answer this question from the latist New York mar ket report. The best dairy butter is quoted 25 cents, and the best creamery 34, a difference of nine cents in favor of the creamery. Deducting four tents, the highest price asked lor making by the creameries, and it leaves five cents I er pound clear in favor of the creamery. This is one-fifth of the cost of dairy but ter. Is it worth while to make use of a system which will increase the income 2i per cent. ? But it doc more than this, for from the New York price must lc deducted the cost of transportation, and the cost of making at home, and it must Ik; borne in mind that this "dairy butter" is not the home made butter, but the product of 15 or more cows, the milk of which is tended with special care, so that it costs as much or nearly as much as to make at a creamery. Counting it as costing the samo as at a creamery, the gain is nine cents a pound, or more than one third of the cost of dairy butter. This shows a gain of 35 percent. Is this worth saving to the average farmer? Iteaiti ml f'al. IV m. fchasr. Capt. William Shaw, the widely known and venerable pioneer of Marion county, Oregon, died at the residence of his sou G. W. Shaw, on Howell Prairie, January 20, 1883, at a. m., of general debility. "Uncle Billy" Shaw, as he was famil iarly known, was born in Tennessee, on Dwcmber 15, 1795, and he was therefore 92 years, 1 mouth, and 5 days old at the lime of his death. At the a,'e of 18 he enlisted with the United States troop for the war of 15)12, and served duriug the two years of that struggle between the forces of England and his native country with great credit to himself.

A writer in a lte number of Vicks Magazine, says that after reading an account of how they made honey from pears iu Switzerland be determined to attempt something of the kind himself. Accordingly last season he took a basket of Sheldon pears of melting ripeness, and after pressing them first through a linen cheese cloth and then through tlannel, he had about three quarts of the juice which he put in : Mono jar and set it in a heated bri'-k bake oven, over night, where it was allowed to simmer until the next morning, when after boil ing the same about an hour, it was re duced to about a quart of delicious honey, which though not to be con -idered an improvement on that mide by lee, was quite an agreeable variety from it, containing all its sweetness, with a perceptible flavor of the fruit. It kept perfectly sound through the suc ceeding winter, with its pear flavor even better than at first. Not a grain of sugar was used in the process, the honey beirgtlic pure juice of the fruit. -V! other. Head.
