Cooper & Whitesides. ntf Kind friends, have yon heard of the town .of No-Good, oh the banks of the river Slow, where the Some-time-or-other scents the air and the bolt (io-easies grow ? It lies in the valley of WhatVtbe-use, in the province of Let-her-slide; it's the home of the reckless I-doa't-care, where the Give it-11 pa abide.

Most persons know the effect of ice-cold metal upon the bare hands but many do not realize that the effect is the same upon the horse's tongue, when the freezing bit is put into the mouth.

Dawson of this city to his old home paper in Mis souri has borne fruit, A few days ago Mr. DawEon received a letter of inquiry from Texas. It was written by a lady and the way she fired the questions at Mr. Dawson was not slow. It was plain ly -evident from her letter that she had heard of Oregon but had learned nothing of its climate, resources, people, schools, or n atural advantages. She asked about everything imaginable aBd a few things besides, and conclnded with the informa tion that she and her family contemplate coming to Oregon to reside. This item is given to illustrate how little is known of Oregon in many sections of the Eaet and South, and also to show how a lew words of praise, such as Mr. Dawson sent to his home . paper, . will advertise oar state and latareat the homeseeker in these less-favored sections.
