Cottage Grove people anticipated
such a movement when they fixed
the western boundary line of their
proposed new county of “ Nes-

coast range 30 miles front the
coast. If the coast people need

suitor has been found in Nesmith.
If Nesmith county, named for

According to Dr. Paine’s state
ment at the Ivugene county divis

vicinity, including Creswell, is
considered the “ meat and milk of
the I.ane county cocoanut” by the
Eugeueites, hence their strenuous
objections to county division.

This week Sam Pearce, a mem
ber of the well known and pros
perous mercantile firm of Pearce
Brother, sold his interests to Mr.
M. Shepardson, who rceutly com
pleted a beautiful home in this
city and also purchased a nice
farm near Walker station north of
Cottage Grove. The new firm will
be styled the “ Cottage Grove
Mercantile C o.,” and will carry
even a larger stock than hereto
fore. They expect to continue to
please their many customers by
giving them the best in the market
at only a living profit, and by the
same fair, courteous treatment,
whicli has always characterized
the business dealings of this firm.
Mr. Pearce, the retiring member
of the firm will probably return to
his old occupation,
railroad
engineering on the Northern Pa
cific. He has made a host of
friends here who will regret his
decision to leave the Grove, but
who wish him well where ever he
may roam. The Leader also joins
the rest in wishing the new firm
abundant success.
