One of the most noticable improvements made in this city in the past year, and there have been many, is the painting of the huge barn on the corner of Washington and Se cond streets, owned by W.

Editor Fogel, of the Forest Grove Times, was a caller at this office last Saturday. He came over after a grist of court house news, but since the wheels of justice have ceased to turn since Governor Chamberlain clogged them with the holiday wedge, he had to content himself with say ing "How-do" to his friends here. John Kassabaum of Shady Brook, brought to town last week a sample of potatoes which, up to the time of this writing, holds over anything of the kind seen here. On two acres of land he raised 540 sacks of spuds, two bushels to the sack. They are of the Burbank variety and the samples can be seen in the office window of Kuratli Bros., on Main street November winds are bleak and sear, And banks are filling some with fear: But confidence you surely can Put in the llillsboro Candy Man.

The largest potato weighs over three pounds, while the smaller one tips the scales at nearly two. They are of the Burbank variety, sound as a bul let and made fine eating. Mr. Gates also had three acres which yielded 190 sacks to the acre.

B. Wilkes and the song by Messrs. Bowman, Tipton, Smith and Jones. The solo by Elder Beery and "Sunshine in My Soul," by the congregation, in which Mr. Webb snowed himself to be an excellent whistler, were greatly enjoyed. The Christian church is growing in numbers and ac complishing much good in this city, and the evening meetings are a source of much pleasure to those attending. 1 he congrega. tion is increasing every week, a fact much appreciated by the pastor and members of that church. Everybody is cordially invited to all of these meetings. The Retail Merchants Associa tion held a meeting at city hall last Friday evening, and besides taking in a few new members and transacting the usual busi ness, the proposal to hold a ban quet in the near future was dis cussed. It was the voice of those present that such a social gather ing should be held to which all members and their wives should take part and President W. H. Wehrung appointed John Dennis, R. II. Greer and Mrs. I. G. Bath a committee to set the date for the banquet and make all ar rangements necessary. The as sociation, which has been orga nized but a few weeks, is now on a firm foundation and if car ried along on the lines now pre vailing, is sure to prove a benefit to all its members. The early closing movement is one of the important things accomplished by the association and most of the merchants in the city are now closing up their places of business at 7 o'clock in the eve ning, thus giving their clerks an opportunity to enjoy their eve nings as they choose, besides, as President Wehrung said at the meeting, making it possible for the merchants themselves to get better acquainted with their fam ilies.

Every character in the play, we are told, is true in its sketching; ev ery line seems measured with grace, motion and verity; and there is that stanch, persistent spirit of national plainness and independence which have made "Shore Acres."
