At a certain school recently the teacher,

An invitation to join in the formation
of a northwest coast press association
has been 6ent from Portland to every
newspaper ollicoin Oregon and Washing
ton. Uhe object of tho association is
stated to be, "to promote tho courtesies of
life and the amenities of journalibm
among ourselves as well as tho business
interests of tho press of tho northwest."
The courtesies and amenities certainly
stand in sad need of promotion, nnd the
business interests might also be helped
thereby. Tho idea is a good ono and de
serves "tho hearty co-operation of those
most interested in its successful adop
tion. From a privato letter received by a
Portland butcher, it is learned that
Messrs. Mayer & Co., throagu their
agents, have purchased 9,500 head of
beef cattle in thoTakima and Crab creek

Ben Snipes, 3,500 head; S. R. .Geddis,

In Liberty county, Gn., a negro preach- j
er was conducting a series of revival
meetings, and one night had a dozen men
and women Iyiug prostrato beforo him.
According to the custom, he was Hitting
up all night with these couvcrl.s, preach
ing to the small band of spectators who
were helping him to sit it out. Finally
getting frantic nt tho way ono man held
out, ho cried: "De word ob God shall
break dat man down!" And, so saying,
ho seized the pulpit biblo and struck the
obstinate man on tho head with it, fell
ing him to tho floor, and thus .securing
another victim. I have Jheard omo ab
original preaching around on Magnolia
btreet at tho Fourth African Baptist
church here. Th6" orator was preaching
on the text ''Dis am do place ob a skull."
Ho began with an account of Cleopatra
and her asp, referring to tho latter as be
ing "not simply painiui, but inortlv.
. derin, fearful mortly." Then
fol
lowed an account of tho goddess Ijenlah,
and tho civilization of Uabylon in the
days of Darius (accent on the first sylla
ble). He centinued: "Man is lost in
his own destiny. Some is lost by 'sua
sions, and some "by Imno'tations'. Yo'
1 know, my brederin, dat it says semewhat:
