LOCAL NEWS. J. H. Nelson, dentist. Dr. Watts of Lafayette was in the city Tuesday. Fresh groceries are arriving every day at Bettman & Warren’s. We need all the wood due this office on subscription—need it at once. The R eporter and Weekly Oregonian one year for $2, strictly in advance. Kay & Todd have the nicest line of fancy shirts and ties ever brought to the city. John Redmond will show his thorough bred swine at the state fair, but will not take his sheep this year. Why do Millsap & Son enjoy the best grocery trade in town? Answer—they handle first class, clean, pure goods, sell then, low, and always endeavor to treat their customers right. Mrs. Morris of North Yamhill has a pair of pretty fox-squirrels sent her by tier son from Missouri. She lias had quite an elaborate wire cage made for them by the McMinnville fence works. If. B. Reed is the all-around fence man. He not only makes and sells the combination picket ami wire fence, but has two or three styles of all wire fence- ing, and also common barbed wire. He is in the fence business, and it will pay you to see him about anything in that line. I*. P. Olds'of Lafayette is one of the happy hop men who has lots of hops and suved them in fine shape for a good price. His crop was 150 bales, and he has refused an otter of 14 ly cents a pound. Though not willing to say that he would hold for that figure, Mr. Olds is of the opinion that 25 cents will be paid for a choice article. A somewhat remarkable ex[>erience fell to the lot of Attorney James Mc Cain Monday morning. Accompanied by Mrs. McCain, he was on hie way to East Dayton to take the morning train, and just after he had crossed the bridge east of town, his horse fell dead in the road. Having no time to lose, he bor rowed another from Wesley Houck and made the train in due time. Prof. A. M. Sanders of LaCreole sem inary, Dallas, wan in the city ttiis week. His school work begins next Monday. During the vacation he has been em ployed in the Hendrick warehouse, Wheatland. Out of something like 52,- 0f»0 bushels of wheat stored there he tellB us that only atsrut 3000 bushels have tieen sold, the balance t>eing still in the hands of the farmers. The hardware dealers are on top. A week or two ago a couple of outsiders were very successful in peddling over town an article known as “Bohemian crucible ware,” and almost every house wife invested in from |1 to $2 worth. Re ports are coining in now as to how the bottoms are dropping out of the ware as the mush is made in the morning or the Boston baked beans sit simmering in the oven. Your home dealers will be re sponsible for what they sell, but the Bo hemian agent and his kind never come back. The presistency of an error in keeping on its way is illustrated by an item which appeased in this paper last week. An item was written stating that the hop crop of Yamhill county was estimated on competent authority at 4000 bales, worth at present quotations $100,000. The printer set it up 400 bales. The error escaped the proof reader, was tele graphed to the Oregoniau, copied into the Telegram and half a dozen other papers and is still on the go. There is one firm that has considerably more than 400 bales. And since the item started on its rounds, the advance in the price of hops enhanced the value of the Yam bill crop about $25,000. Next Monday the 27th, marks the 50th, anniversary of the residence in Yamhill county of Mr. Win. Merchant, whose fine home ia on tlie eminence lie tween Carlton and North Yamhill. His place and surroundings afford a tine ex ample of what may be done by a mau who puts intelligence and energy into the work of farming and stays with it as the years come and go. The little homestead of his childhood, which the Indians used to surround and the seared mother and children would lie down on the puucheon floor and keep still until they went away, yet stands on the hillside near by, and the orchard planted 4V years ago when he was a boy of six years, is laden with tlie burdeu of fruit of the closing year of its fifth decade. Ed Rose, a youth of fifteen, was brought before Justice McPhillips on Monday, charged with the larceny of a hunting dog from Morgan Baker. In addition to tlie larceny, he aggravated the offense by killing the dbg. The penalty for the larceny of a dog under the Oregon statute is the same as the larceny of a horse, and the young man would unquestionably have been started over the road to the penitentiary but for the intercession of hie mother, who petitioned Judge Magers and se cured commitment to the reform school. Ed has been traveling a rough road for some time, being one of those hoys who escape<i parental control at an early age, growing by degrees imperceptible to him self from bad to worse, until he came to be regarded as one of the thoroughly bad boys in the community. If he is capable of reformation, about the last opportunity is held out by in troduction to tbe state institution.

The whole family wears shoes. There may be half a dozen pairs all going along on the wide road to de struction at once—half a dozen pairs of feet helping to pile up the figures on the expense side of papa’s ledger. Papa is the one who knows what it is worth to save a quarter on the price of every pair of shoes he buys. Hence papa buys here. ---------- ---------------------- ¡¡Imported patterns and Novelties iq 1p(iUiqery Everything the very ¡¿catesi, at Reasonable ¡prices NO INEXPERIENCED HELP EMPLOYED. eJÎW. $>. “Sfu SeafciMg ÌKMiwtt.
