No right-minded person can question the deleterious effects of the whisky traffic upon national prosperity. It is pronounced by all thoughtful persons the greatest curse in the land. It is a deadlier plague than any of which ravaged ancient Egypt, and it has been much more fatal to life than the one which slew all the first-born sons of the Egyptians. The science of politics teaches us to enforce what is just, and promote what is beneficial. True legal science and political philosophy must prohibit the Liquor traffic.—JAS. W. LOWBER, In The Worker. Burn, At Monmouth. Or., Jan. 15, 1883, to the wife of James Russel, a son; J:. Married. ___ Near Monmouth, Jan. 16, 1883. By H. M. Waller ; L. W. Tioe and Orel« Heaight. Obituary. Mary S. Small died of scarlet fever, Jan. 5 1883, at 11 o'clock, p . M., aged 9 years, 2 months and 21 days. Margaret A Small died Jan. 8, 1883. The beloved daughters of Wm. and Ann Small, Cottage Grove, Ogn. Margaret and Mary Small were the youngest of seven children, leaving one sister, four brothers and many friends to mourn thia loss. I hope you will all pray for Mr. and Mrs. Small who feels so deeply their sad bereavement. Dearest children thou hast left us We your dr sth do deeply mourn Your body has turned to dust And we are left alone. Oh our darlings thon art dr eping In the cold and silent tomb Sad and lonely are we weeping For our hearts are clothed in gloom. Dearest children thou art praising The Eternal King above Angela their sweet songs are raising To him a ho is full of love. Wheu our days on earth are ended And from affections we are free We hope to meet on that bright shoro And join to praise with thee. ■But all their toils and griefs are o’er And they are freed from pain Their face on earth we’ll see no more But hope we'll meet again. Then why should we lament or weep, If God has thought it best To take their souls frem earth away To take their eternal rest. E.
