Under the head o f "Raybell,”
the section of Marion county
across the river from Newberg
has a correspondent who will
furnish items of news for the
Graphic. The report comes that
a tri-weekly rural mail route has
been established for that section,
running from Newberg, which
will give the people long sought
for mail privileges which they
will appreciate.

PEACE AT CHRISTMAS TIDE
While razing the old monastery
of the Holy Ghost in Wismar,
Mecklenburg, tw o months ago,
an old Bible was found in which
was a remarkable prophecy re
garding the present world war.
It was written in 1701 by one of
the monks on parchment that is
now yellow and sear with age.
It is now on exhibition in a
glass case in the city hall of Wis
mar. So much publicity has
been given to the prophecy in
the papers of Germany that
