Local and Personal. Help us to reach the 1000 mark by July 1. ; Mr. and Mrs. John Fuller, and daughter Wilda, spent Sunday with friends in Dallas. After the first of the year the warehouse will not be open for business until after 11 o'clock. Miss Edna McCaleb spent Christmas with her grand par ents, Mr. and Mrs. John Mc Caleb. No patent medicine ads in the Herald. No saloon ads nor whole sale whiskey ads. A good, clean, wholesome family paper. C. LeMasters and wife were transacting business in Indepen dence Tuesday and stopped at the Herald offiice for a short visit while enroute home. Ray Chute is now handling the ribbons on Itiggs' delivery wagon. He makes a very presentable Jehu ana seems to have tound a niche in which he fits to a nicety, Joseph Lampitt, of Suver, was transacting business here Satur day and paid the Herald office a pleasant call. Mr. Lampitt is one of the substantial farmers of the south half of Polk county. Mrs. Emma Kramer, principal of the South Salem school ac companied by Miss Laura Bean, are spending their holidays as guests at the home of T. J. Berry. Mrs. Kramer is an alumnus of the Normal of the class of '94. Mr. C. Smith and family en joyed a pleeasant family reunion Christmas. Mr. Smith's sisters, Mrs. MofTit, of Newport, Mrs. Showerman, of Salem, and his brothers G. C. and D. Smith, of Rickreall, met at his home and spent a few days during the hol idays. Miss Ethel Tucker, who spent Christmas with her grandpar ents, Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Fuller, and Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. John Fuller, left Sunday on the six o'clock train for her home in Portland. Miss Tucker is a sten ographer in the store of I. Gevurtz & Sons. No reasonable person could complain at the weather we had the fore part of the week. Tues day was a sunshiny day and Wed nesday morning there was only a touch of frost on the sidewalks. Contrasted with the east where they have zero weather it looks good to most people. Carl Gardner left Monday for Portland, where he will take a course 5n music. He was accom panied by his mother who may remain and keep house for him during the term. When he re turns we may expect the woods to be filled with musical echoes. Anyway it happens Carl's many friends wish him abundant success. Elsewhere we publish a letter received from the poultry depart ment of the Agricultural college. Those interested in poultry would do well to write for the list of questions if they have not already received it and those having re ceived the same ought to answer the question as fully as possihle as it will aid in developing the poultry industry. Chamberlain, the butcher, be lieves in advertising and he does it in many ways. He uses print ers ink and bacon, both good, and he used up a nice stack of bacon the past week in giving away samples of his home made brand so that people could test it alongside of the store kind. We can vouch for it being good having sampled it Willis Ingle, of Waitsburg, Washington, is visi.ing relatives here. Lloyd Mason and family spent their holidays with friends in Dallas. A. Bowman came up from Portland to spend Christmas with A. B. Westfall and family. Thomas Strain and family spent Christmas week visiting friends in Portland and vicinity. Mrs. Hoke came up from Sher idan to spend Christmas with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Westfall. C. A. Davis and Walter Scott left Monday for Vancouver, Washington, where they go to take a contract to clear land. Any one wanting to know how to unload a shotgun can find out by asking Pete Cornwell or W. W. Newman. They are both ex perts. W. J. Campbell, of Portland and Miss Nancy Campbell, of Corvallis, spent Christmas here with their sister, Mrs. R. Avery and family. S. W. Doughty paid a hurried visit to relatives here Saturday, He is connected with a hustling real estate firm in Portland and reports doing a nice business. Miss Maybelle Gardner, who is attending 0. A. C, and Rollin Dickinson principal of the high school at Dorena, Lane county, visited over Sunday with Mrs. S. E. Gardner of this city. Paul E. Baker came down from Junction City to spend the holi days with friends here. Mr. Baker was business manager of the Courier last year during his Senior year at the Normal. Hon. C. E. Wolverton, U. S. District Judge, came up from Portland to spend Christmas with his mother and brother Otis, our accommodating postmaster. Mrs Wolverton is one of the old pio neers, having come to Oregon in 1853 by ox team across the plains when it took six months to make the journey. She is now in her 81th year and is enjoying very good health for one of her years. Mrs. A. R. Lewis, of Airlie, passed through here Wednesday morning enroute to Dallas and Falls City, where she went to visit relatives and friends for a time. She paid the Herald office a friendly call while in town. Mr. Lewis has purchased an in terest in the butcher business at Falls City and Black Rock, which gives him three shops to look after. He will soon be as bad a monopolist as John D., if this kind of work keeps up, but we wish him all kinds of success just the same. What may be termed an al most miraculous escape from fatalities occured Christmas eve at the home of Mrs. F. Hyde. A party of young people had gathered for a social evening and to have a Christmas tree. The tree was ornamented with wax candles, which were burning. Glen Work was playing Santa Claus and had only come in and going up to the tree he came in contact with one of the little candles when his makeup caught fire and he was badly burned about the face and hands before it could be extinguished. His coat and wig were covered with loose cotton batting and was very infiamable. While trying to put out the fire Mrs. Hyde burned her hands and arms very badly and the wonder is that her cloth ing did not take fire, in which case nothing could have saved her life. As it is both patients are resting as easily as could be expected under the circumstances. Do You Walk on STARS?
