Our ides of such a good citizen that he is apt to be lonesome is the one who has read the full text of both guber natorial messages. The Oreeon legislature is blessed with at least six intelligent members, there being four democrats in the house and two in the senate. Ail roads msy not lead to Weston, but there are a few broad ones lesding out for those who profess to find the town and its people unbearable.

I thought you were running a newspaper." Wouldn't that rattle your lists? Borne people think that an editor ought to be a cross between Argus and Anna Eva Fay. They seem to think that our five senses are aug mented by a sixth that leu us know everything that happens, oven If wc see, hear, feel, taste or smell It not. Dear lady, editors are only human or at least, slmost human. If you have a friend visiting you, If you ars going away, or have returned from a visit out of town, If Johnny falls and breaks his arm, If your husband chopa his toe Instead of a stick of wood, if any thing happens that makes you glad, or sad, happy, or mad, call us up.
