It is reported that Mr. Nast, the artist,
lost his thousands in California specula­
tions. He drew it all out, and now he
hopes to “draw” it all in again.
A lady says that the greatest objection
to lawn-tennis is that it hardens the
hands. But then it softens liearts and is
a great promoter of matrimony.
Secretary Tracy’s phrase, “Our best
citizens, the workmen of America” seem
to have struck a chord of admiration
throughout the country and is frequently
quoted.
There is a giant rose-tree in Roostoen,
Holland, which has held 6,001 roses at
the same time. The owner, Mme. Reg-
nen, considers it one of the great wonders
of the world.
The sale of Cardinal Gibbon's “Faith

had such a circulation.
Mr. Blaine finds the atmosphere in
Maine rather frigid. His faithful friend,
Boutelle, whose nose is out of joint polit­

A special dispatch to the New York
World says: Mr. J. Fletcher Marcum
of Cattlesburg, and Miss Laura Duke
Smith, ot Lexington, attended a social
gathering in Ashland one evening this
week, and a young minister and the
county clerk were among the guests.
After a while some one suggested a mock
marriage and Mr. Marcum and Miss
Smith volunteered to act as bride and
bridegroom. The county clerk was ap­
pealed to and made out the license and
the minister performed the ceremony.
Nothing more was thought of the affair,
until yesterday, when it was mentioned
to a lawyer who declared the marriage
was a legal one. This view is accepted
as correct and the make-believe bride
and bridegroom are intensely distressed.
To add to the complication, Mr, Mar­
cum was engaged to an estimable young
lady of Ashland. The courts will have
to be appealed to for relief.
Mr. Marcum is the editor of the Catlets-
burg Democrat, and Miss Smith, or Mrs.
Marcum is the daughter of Gen. Green
Clay Smith, one of the best known men
in Kentucky. In the convention which
nominated Andrew Johnson for vice-
president, he came within hall a vote of
defeating Johnson. He was afterward
elected to congress,rose to be a brigadier­
general in the Union army, was after­
wards territorial governor of Arizona, is
now a Baptist preacher and eight years
ago was the prohibitionist candidate for
president.

This magnificent property comprises 460 lots and lies in the very heart of the residence portion
of McMinnville. It is high, commanding a beautiful view of the valley. Many of the most prom­
inent residents of McMinnville are now purchasing property in “Oak Park Addition," and many
elegant and substantial residences will be constructed there during the coming year. Water­
works and electric lights will be put in this summer, giving all the comforts of the choicest villa
property.
Lots are from 50x100 to 50x150, and blocks 200x215, with a 15-foot alley down the center of
each. The advantages of having an alley in each block are obvious.
“Oak Park Addition’ adjoins the depot of the Southern Pacific Railroad, the new county court
house, the elegant public school building, and is three blocks from Third street, the business
thoroughfare of McMinnville. “Oak Park Addition" offers superior inducements to investors,
the settled policy of its proprietors being to steadily advance prices with its growth, rendering
investments absolutely safe and profitable.
“Oak Park Addition will be planted in shade trees; cross and sidewalks constructed and streets graded. The proprietors are turning in 10 percent of aP
sales as a fund for this purpose. This property is being offered for from to 25 to 50 per cent less than any other property in McMinnville of half the advan­
tages. Prices of lots range from $25 up and are sold either on the cash or installment plan.
A plat of this growing addition can be seenat Jas. Fletcher & Co.’s and J. I. Knight & Co., where all further information and price of lots and blocks will
be furnished. Also at office of Barnekoff & Co., McMinnville Flouring Mills.
