liking or disliking different kind of weath
er U considerably a matter of education.
It is remarkably well Illustrated in an ex
change : "A lady and gentleman recently
met on the street and passed the lime of
day. The day was warm and showery and
the lady remarked upon the pleasantness
of the weather. The gentleman who
thought quite otherwise replied, 'Oh, in
deed I How is that ? 'O I You know this
warm weather with rain makes the salmon
run,' was the reply. 'I see it makes all the
difference how we look at this replied the
gentleman as he passed on. Ihe explana
tion is simple. The gentleman is a pho
tographer and is best suited
weather, while the lady is a
wife.
Kni'Iiiton-Joiiksom. At the home of
the bride's father, Mr. Major Johnson, near
Peor.a, Oregon, Dec. 19, i838, by Rey. II.
Gould, Mr. Lewis Knighton and Miss
Emma Johnson, both of Linn county, Ore
gon, were united In marriage. Half past
eleven o'clock was the hour for the wed
ding and when we arrived a little before
that time we found that friends had arrived
and were still coming which they continued
for tome time, until the house was about
as full as It could comfortably be. If such
affairs are to be repeated many limes in
that home there will have to be a special
addition put to the house to contain the
company. Things are not always on time
but at about twelve o'clock friends were all
in and all ready and the twain were made
one flesh. Soon after, dinner was an
nounced and 6uch a dinner. It was not
much like dieting for smallpox, so I judge
the alarm did not reach there. There were
oysters, turkey, chicken, pudding, pie,
cakes and cakes and cakes. We were
urged to cat until if we had tried to com
ply tully we should have been there yet
unless some kind friend had gathered us
up and borne us gently away. Boon after
dinner Mr. Knighton with his bride took
nis departure They go to Salem for a
visit among friends, expecting to return in
time for the Chrismas tree at Peoria, after
which they take up their residence at
juonroe. 11 G.

A Close CaLL. Here is the kind of
show we just missed being afTictcd with,
the troup may be here yet, though : "The
Lillian Drew Comedy Co. performed in U.
S. hall in this city last Thursday and Fri
day evenings. The music was very good
but the performance was of the snide
order. A very good sized audience greet
ed tnem tnenrst nicnt, but they disgusted
everybody so that the crowd the second
night was very slim." Jacksonville cor.
Asnianu necora.
A Joke. This morning a roughly
d reused man went into a well known Al
Dany merchant s store and asked to see
some cheap shoes. Several pairs were
handed him, which he began handling, re
marking at the time: "I want them for
the young man at the pest house. I just
came from" "Get out of here," cried
the startled merchant, and he got. It was
all a joke, and even Phil, appreciates it
now.
How Paid. A great manv people won
der how Moody is paid. The 7 digram
says : "It isaquestion which few can ant.
wer, because the reverend gentleman re
fuses absolutely to talk on matters with
representatives of the press. "The Lord
leaos me, Me teeas me and tie c atlies me."
Baid he, when questioned upon the subject,
"and He will give meall the money 1 want,
and at any time." One of the committee
taid to a reporter : "We are not going to
pay him a cent He never takes pay for
his work. He will not permit a collection
to be taken up from his audience. How
ever, his expenses are paid by us, and we
iiucnu 10 present mm wun a purse when
ne leaves, probably coo. But he won'
use the money for himself. He has num
erous charitable institutions which he con
stantly feeds, besides a boys' and girls'
scneoi in nit native iew Hampshire vil
'age.
As Iowa Letter. A private letter
from Frank P. Nlchells, who at one time
resided in this city, but who now lives in
Iowa, says that the corn crop (the principal
crop of that State) was short this year, av
eraging about 28 bushels per acre and sells
for 18 cents per bushel.' How would an
Oregon farmer who sells the wheat raised
from one acre for from $14 to $16 like to
raise corn and sell it for $5 per acre ? He
says they have had a very'dry and warm
fall to far.

. A Fruit Farm Several weeks ago two
brothers named Tryon, arrived in Albany
from near Kansas City, and, liking the
Country, one of them returned for their
famines and effects, arriving here yester
day, and in the meantime the other re
maining here a few days ago purchased
theCrowder place, consisting of 126 acres
of Dr. Amos, paying $4700 for it, includ
ing machinery and a team. Their effects,
I consisting of furniture, a horse, cow, etc.,
were Drougnt to tnis city from Kansas
City in 9 days by freight. They will de
vote their time to fruit culture, "for which
the Crowder place is well adapted.
Not so Inflated A gentleman now
In the city has a farm in Kansas, six mile
from Kansas City. A couple years ago h e
was offered $250 an acre for it, and another
farm a little nearer the city sold for $500
an acre. Now the biggest offer he can get
tor nis place fs $193 an acre. The Doom,
you see, has lost its inflation.
CA Big Head. Mr Striker, representing
the famous Stetson hat, has been in the
city, L. E. Blain giving him a good order
for this leading hat. We have generally
thought we had a young man here with
the largest well proportioned head in the
United States; but Mr. Striker says his
house has a regular customer In a school
teacher in Iowa who wears a y hat,
while ours is. only an bfc.
Expecting Him. Mr. C. H. Luderman,
of Albany, has leased the store now occu
pied by J. D. Fountain, and will put In, he
says, the largest and finest stock of boots
and shoes ever opened in the state south
of Albany. Mr. Luderman has been in the
shoe business many years, and after look
ing over the field was satisfied that an ex
clusive boot and shoe, well stocked, well
managed will pay- here. He will arrive
here with his family sometime in Februorv.
and wi'l be ready for business about the
first of March Ashland Tidings.
Pure Teas. If you want a first-class
article of teas go to the Willamette Packing
Co's. store, their German mixed tea is just
what every one ought to ue, as it is first-
class tea and warranted to give satisfac
tion.

ment of the small pox with which he is af-
