Pasa Wednesday with a load of hogs and chickens which he disused ol very readily. Since Mr. Sousnn has rented his entire farm at Provolt to John Berry and son, he will go out of the ling business and devote his time to cattle raining hereafter.

Fields accompanied by his Cbiother, George, was at Grants Pass Friday on business. Mr. Fields states jin returning homo he had the misfnr 'tune of breaking his baggy double trees to fragments on a itump which rstood In the road at Lanrel Grove. "ited Cloud" was telling ns of good woads the best that there has been 'built at that plane for many years. Ha! ha! It looks like it when a ifollow is left standing to the Iubllo highway when It is rainiug in tor runts aud wants to go to a box - auoial aud has to go and borrow a set of doubletrees before he can get home ' Tike good roads are all demolished owing to the hard storms and high nvater.
