CiiARMlNG.-The charming little girl's face
which comes out so beautifully on Hood's
Household Calendar, is sweet enough to kiss.
We have seldom seen anything so attractive
in lithography. The Calendar is another
.happhitby the enterprising proprietors of
- Hood's Sarsaparilla, who never seem conten
ted with anything less than the very best in
whatever they undertake. Their Calendar is
a beautiful ornament for any home. If you
cannot get a copy pj-ent druggist, send six
cents for one, or ten cents for two Calendars,
to C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.
Public Schools, The attendance on the
Roseburg public school, is much larger this
month than ever before. There are about
forty pupils in the school from other districts,
and who pay into our school treasure enough
money to pay for teaching them and at least
eighty of the children ef this diitrict In the
scluwl there are several teachers in attendance
who assist the four regular teachers to such an
extent that the amount of class work done in
this school really amounts to as much work as
is usually accomplished in six or eight rooms.
Class work is constantly kept up in five
rooms under the supervision of some one who
has previously taught public schools success-
fully under license granted by the County
Superintendent. The best of order is pre
served throughout, and from twenty minutes
to one hour is allowed the class recitation.
A Little Boy's Letter. Bro. Bell I
will write you a letter. We are all well. We
had a good Christmas and we have had some
mighty cold foggy weather and lots of mud
on our feet. Tell Mrs. Farquar that I thank
her for my Chistroas present and I will write
to her. I . liked Roseburg so much. Mrs.
1 Iorncr is toe boss teacher. My Ala was so
sorry that we could not go down there and
go to school. There is a heap of scholars in
Roseburg, and I think Mr. Horner will have
to make some of them jump about like papa
does me some' times. Roseburg is a heap
bigger than Tangent, where we live. Tell
Lee and Homer to write to me. My ginny
pigs just run all about. I believe it is going
to snow. All of us are so sorry that we could
not come up there. This is all I know. Love
to read the Review. Victor P. Moses. ;

Roseburg and vicinity that J. R. N. Bell for

have this day appointed as bis' successor Frank
W. Benson the well known and reliable young

cordially, recommending him. I will confess
I am very sorry to lose such a worthy and re
spectful and gentlemanly agent as Mr. Bell,
and must tender my sincere gratitude to him
in behalf of the company for his zeal and efforts
for the company and I feci confidant that the
present incumbent will earn a reputation that

meant that which will do the people good in

ELKTON NOTES.
Editor Review; In this land of prosper
ity and fern the happenings among the people
that constitute good news items, are scarce.
However we will tell you a part of what we
know. First we know that the weather is
very fine for the time of year. Yesterday was
as fine a day for the; race the human race
as we could wish to see. We also know that
if the weather does not continue favorable for
the next two or three months, that a great
many stock in the land will "kick the bucket."
And another thing we know is that the farm
ers are plowing right along just as though
wheat was going to be money this year. We
know, or at least some one told us, that Rev
Black was in the village on Sunday, but
whether he preached or not we do not know.
And again we know that wild geese are more
scarce than they have been for several years.
Further, we know that John Smith took his
three oldest children to'your city to have them
ia school there. A wise conclusion. And
still again we know, or at least we have it from
good authority, that there arrived at the resi
dence of Wm. Stark on the 5th inst. a turkey
driver. The gentleman is too light to be of
service this year, however he may do the milk
i ng. Weight well we thought we knew but
we don't. Its upward of considerable though.
Will is convalescent.
We think we know that P. W. Rhodes took
a small load of bacon to Scottsburg to-day on
an order from Mr. Hedden of that place.
We would know, if we had seen it, that there
is some good grass in the land, but as Gus.
Woods is always telling when he coir.csjdown
from his ranch, how well his sheep arc doing
we are bound to believe there is some good
grass up there.
John Kent and Creed Lane came down from
Drain, Saturday and returned Sunday, vc do
know that, for we saw them pass both ways
on their trip. But hold on before we tell you
all we know, we will chop off right here and
take a rest. '
Sincn we wrote the above and have rested,
we know something more. The Review
came to hand and was all that was promised,
a splendid number to lay away for future rcf
ence. Let the good work go on.

Mr. Coe.Dearlingis feeding quite a numl-cr
of beef cattle which are ready for the market at
any tune.
Mr. T. E. Farnsworlh and A. J. Grose
made, a flying visit up in the Green mountains
settlement last Sunday on business unknown.
All of our young folks that came home to
spend holidays have gone back again to their
schools. We wish them a pleasant time and
success in their studies.
Mr. Ilerstine, our miller is going to build
a boat to run his flour up the Calapooia to
Oakland. If he is as good a ship carpenter
as he is a miller and peddler it will be a suc
cess. The farmers in thisrvicinity are all holding
back from sowing their grain on account of the
cold weather which the prophet says we arc
going to have in February. It is well they
arc, for his prophecies
have been true so (ar.
II. McNabb one of
Calapooia's enterprising
young farmers has
liecn employed building
gates and other very
valuable improvements
around the farm during the late bad weather
which a great many others should be doing.
Your Garden Bottoi n correspondent spoke
of tomatoes, black lerries and strawberries
being in bloom, we d n't doubt it at all but
we would like to have 'a button hole boquct
made of them, we think they would look so
nice these cold frostyimomings.

T.OOK1SO GLASS REFLECTIONS
The Looking Glass Reform Club will meet
at the hall on the 17th inst, There will be
two eminent speakers to address the club and
all those who may attend on that occasion
will lie benefitted. Come one and all.
Mr. W. T. Lowell, late of Colorado, has lo
cated his photograph gallery in Looking Glass,
Mr. Lowell is a master of his art and a genial
gentleman. All those wishing good pictures
of themselves and friends will do well to call
on him. He will accommodate vou with all the
latest styles, views of residences, ranches, stock
&ci at prices to suit the times. Satisfaction
guaranteed.
The usual quiet village of Looking Glass
was thrown into a fever of excitement on the
nth by a German, who lived near town by
the name of Clause, who committed suicide by
shooting himself through the heart with a
pistol. The deed was done near Mr. George
Cappius' residence in town. There was no
particular reason assigned for him to commit
the rash act. Justice Costiii held an inquest
on the body. There was found. on the body
a small amount of money and a memorandum
book with several requests in it to different ones
here.
Miss Florence Casebeer, of French Settle
ment, died at her home on the 9th inst-, with
quick consumption and was hurried on the
nth in the French Settlement burying ground.
Her body was followed to its last resting place
by a large concourse ot relatives and friends.
Miss Casebear was raised in that quiet valley
where she now rests in peace and tranquility,
beloved by all who knew her. She taught
school at different times and places, her useful
ness will be missed by all of her young stu'
dents and friends.
Good bye, proud world; I'm going home;
Thou art not my friend; I'm not thine;
Too long through weary crowds I roam.
A river ark on the ocean brine,
Too long I'm tossed like the driven foam,
But now, proud world, I'm going home.

Editor Review: Our town lias been un
usually quiet for several weeks past with the
exception of a little fracus that occured be
tween a couple of our citizens last Sunday
evening which caused some excitement and a
little loud talking on the streets; its wonderful
at the coats and vests that are worn out by
being thrown around on the streets of this
city, if the people could be more cautious

The Poor I'afm.
We believe in economical administration in
public affairs and in honesty in all things; yet
it is proper to secure good services for the
government and it is right I o pay fair value
therefor. ' For so doing our officials should
not be charged with dishonesty or improper
management Some people, however, seem
to be unable to distinguish the difference be
tween low prices and cheapness. This is armar
ent from Mr. Genger's article in the last issue
1 a
of the Review." While some of his assertions
are good and all must join Ihim, he is off, on
his "poor farm" statement. We arti thor
oughly acquainted with the farm purchased
and know the many desirable and valuable
features which it possesses, land he who as
serts that a better one for the poor could have
been bought for $4,000, either does not know
the worth of the premises or the value of
money. Nor do we believe tt would have been
good policy to have bought; a $4,000 place in
stead of this one. The fac that the contract
for keeping the paupers hasjbeen let for three
years, for $3,600 less than the former contract,
shows the fallacy of the statement that the in
terest on the money invested would nearly
keep them, but on the contrary, commends
the good judgement of our county board,
whom the writer intimates has not dealt
squarly. j .
This idea of low price sounds like Mr.,
Vilas's policy of cutting doi n the service on
the western star routes,
jthat the expenses
might be less. DRAIN ECHO,

BEAUTY AND FLE&SUBE-SEIQN
A RECHERCHE AFFAIR-
A more resnectable Catherine of friends
scarcely takes place in ones life time, than that
which occurred at the large aud commodious
residence of J. R. Dodge, Esq., in Oakland,
Douglas County, Oregon, last night. For
some months Hymen has been arranging his
altar at whose shrine two hearts would rever
ently bow. So it was a happy occasion, when
yesterday evening he spread his marriage wand
over two destinies, which should henceforth
forever be one.
W. B. Hammitt " was raised in the old
Dominion State, and something more than
a year ago be came to Oakland to visit his
ancle Dr. E. J. Page. Since which time he
he has been engaged in the hardware and
tinners business with C. M. EalL This ben
edict is a young man of excellent habits and
unquestioned integrity. The lady who has
launched out on the voyage of life with him,
we unhesitateingly say, has involved no'risk in
this matrimonial transaction. Miss Mollie E.
Dodge the young and blushing bride was raised
in our midst, hence to speak of her in particu
lar would be out of place. We can only say
that she is an accomplished lady, having at
tended the leading schools in the state, but,
best of all, her home education under the ex
cellent tutorage of her mother is more com
mendable, and to be envied, than all else
besides.
About fifty guests were present, and the
arge and airy rooms under the brilliant light,
.ave good accommodations, and reflected the
Jecorations and paraphernalia to the very best
advantage. The ceremony was performed at
half past eight o'clock by Rev. J. R. N. Bell
in the most solemn and impressive manner.
The bride's dress was sage-green the color,
emblematical of undying devotion, and the
groom wore the usual conventional suit. The
bridesmaid, Miss Fannie Thomas wore a
beautiful dress of bottle-green hue, while the
groom's best man, Robert P. Dear was clad
in a dress suit highly appropriate, to- the oc
casion. The presents were many and valuable, but
space iorbids their enumeration this week.
This young couple start forth to battle with
the cold dashes of life's realities with every
prospect of success. Both are well equipped
with natural and acquired abilities, and if a
happy solution of life's problem b not realized
by them, then the well wishes of a host of
friends, and all that go to makeup an encour
aging beginning, shall be accounted naught
Thesincerest regards of the Review are
hereby tendered, and our desire shall always
be, that the fragrant rose of happiness may
always bloom in the garden of their destiny.

W. N. Boots & Son have moved their sad

M. Stevens into the one that has been
used as a court house. This shows that Drain

DRAIN ITEMS.
1 he new year seems to nave begun aus
piciously in our town, for the merchants seem
to be busy, the covered stage coaches from
here to Scottsburg have been orrying full
loads of passengers, and the Normal school
has a larger attendance than ever before in its
history.
The editor of the- Echo seem to be well
pleased with the liberal patronage and words
of encouragement that they are receiving from
every source.
Fverybody seems determined to have a
happy New Year, in spite of fate.
When Hdn. W. A Perkins visits your city
please do not tempt him with any imported

to cease the use of the filthy weed.
Our friend Ostertag went hunting again last
week and as usual naa a solemn yam to re
late aDoui now waje got between mm and a
five-point buck, so that he couldn't shoot
without making sausage, of the best dog in
Oregon. I sympathize with him, for I too go
hunting sometimes, and the only difference in
results is, that I can't think of any plausible
excuse before reaching home.
Horace Putnam went hunting the other
day, and having shot a large buck, he ran up
and seizing it by the horns was about to
stick a knife into its throat, when it suddenly
sprang to its feet Horace is a man of peace,
and not having had any serious quarrel with
that particular buck, he steped back and let it
go. The look of surprise and disgust on his
face was a study for an artist. ' ,
Another gentleman named Putnam had
little argument this week, with a two-point
buck, commonly kn;wn as William Goat, but
I agreed not tell it. r
President Standley of Monmoth College

JT Boon that Science has ConfcrcA
Has been fraught with greater blessings than
that which has accrued to the inhabitants of
malaria ridden portions of the United States
and the tropics from the- use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The experience of many
years has but too clearly demonstrated in the
inemciency 01 quinine ana oiner a rugs 10 cncci
nally combat the progress of intermittent,
congestive and billious remittent fevers, while
on the other hand, it has been no less clearly
shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine
congenial to the frailest constitution, and de-
nved from purely botanic sources, affords a
reliable safeguard against malarial disease,
and arrest it when developed. For disorders
of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general
debility and renal inactivity, it is also a most
emcient remedy. Appetite and sleep are im
proved by it, it expels rheumatic humors from
the blood, and enriches a circulation unpover
ished by mal-assimilation.
To Dangerous Seasons
Spring and fall are times yhen so many
people get sick. The changes ia the weather
are severe on feeble persons, and even those
naturally strong are apt, as they say, "to be.
feeling miserable." Then they are just in trie
condition to be struct down with some kind of
fever. A bottle or two of Parker's Tonic will
invigorate the digestion, put the liver, kidney
and blood in perfect order, and prevent more
serious attacks. Why suffer, and perhaps die,
when so simple a medicine will save vou?
