Its im- . proveruents are quite numerous and of a very substantial ' character. On the south side of the river several new resi dences have recently been built (hat any town throughout the country might just ly feel prond of. On the north side of the river the improvement is gradual. Among other things to be noticed is the new school house, which is well under way, and which when completed will be one of the largest, neatest and commodi ous in Yamhill county. At present there is considerable business activity. Potter’s warehouse lias a large aipount of grain on hand, 40,000 to 50,000 bush els, and it is still rolling in; the mill, which by the way, is one of the solid in stitutions of that section, has rftiqi.ved a|)OuL25,000 bushels, and the endkik not yet With it. Messrs. Bewley and Scrog gins each have private warehouses and these have been filled. The Sheridan district will furnish her full quota of breadstuff's of the best quality and don’t you fail to remember it. The business men of Sheridan are of a live energetic class; the citicens of the place are a large-hearted people, and that’s why they prosper. C ame H ome -—L’rtst Friday our people who went to Dallas to pick hops re turned home, ‘it’ay up on their ears, The gentleman who . secured their ser- vices represented that the box«s they were to fill held eight bushelsand for filling these they ‘Were to receive 80 cents per box. Brit instead of holding eight bushels the' IxnteS held eighteen bushels ; hence the dissatisfaction. We can hardly think that the gentleman who made the contract wilfully misrep resented the case. If he did those whom he deceived should take him out to one side and pelt him with rotten musk melons—or something of that sort. All who went to pick were out several dol lars each. O fficers E lected .—At the Union Sunday school, Sunday last owing to the resignation of Mr. D. C.
