Dr. Watts of Lafayette was in the city
Tuesday.

at Bettman & Warren’s.

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.

stitch in time,” etc. If you have the least cause to
suspect that everything is not as it should be with
your eyes, have them examined at once; it will cost
you nothing. We have recently added a complete op
ticion’s set to our business, and make a specialty of
correcting eye troubles. You will be told frankly
and honestly what your trouble is, and if you need
glasses or not.

Saturday, Sept. 25, 1897.
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.
