A man from Albany has leased the vacant space east of the Grange store, where he will erect sheds and establish a feed yard for the accommodation of farmers’teams during the w inter months, where they can drive in out of the wet. A ladies’ waiting room and toilet is in­ cluded in the plan. Capt. A. E. Parker of Salem was in the city this week paying taxes and look­ ing after hie farms in this county. He is the owner of four of the best farms near McMinnville, upon which he paid $250 taxes. One of these tracts is the Jolly farm, upon which Chas. Miller has recently moved from Salem. Mrs. J. T. Jones has our thanks for a few specimen products of the foothills region, consisting of a variety of very large red apples, a lot of Isabella grapes, a quantity of English walnuts and a handsome bouquet of Howers. The grapes were es|«cial)y tine, thu bunches well formed, evenly matured and very sweet, in fact better grafts than we have seen grown in the lower valley. The walnuts are a novelty, although Mrs. Jones says th» trees, which are about 18 years old now. have lorn more or less for several years. It will not prove disappointing to a great many people if in time the pro-; ducts of tlie foothills take a leading place in the commerce of this section. A couple of urchins of rather tender years to lie engaged in such an exploit broke into the Grange store last Sunday afternoon Manager Chas. Nelson hap­ pened to lie in the office, and hearing a noise in the back room, went to investi­ gate. He found one of the boys inside, having effected an entrance by the re­ moval of a pane of glass. By due pro­ cess of "pumping," the name of his con­ federate was learned and the confession elicited that their purpose was to secure money from the till. It ie a serious question what ought to l>e done with such youthful offenders, but there is no ques­ tion at all about the fact that parents who let their young lx»ys ronin abroad I without restraint are morallv responsible for more than the little misdeeds that come to light.

Veva Magers and Fannie Newell are absent from school this week on account of sickness in their families. The com positions that have been read from the seventh and eighth grades so far have been good. The one on “Home” we considered the best. We notice some excuses from parents written thus: “Please excuse-------- for being absent as he had company and did not want to come to school.” We won­ der which is the most profitable, to en" tertain company or attend school? Cook School Note«, Jennie Minty is a new student in the seventh grade. Harry Woodruin has returned to his studies after a siege of sickness. It will take the remainder of thie week to finish the first monthly review. Professor Littlefield remarked recently that his grade is doing better work than ever before.

The aches and pains of Rheumatism become a constant companion to all who are victims of this disabling disease. Much suffering could be avoided if the first warning pains of Rheumatism were heeded and the proper treatment at once taken. But the people generally are not acquainted with the cause of the disease, though thousands know its tor­ tures. Those who use liniments and ointments cannot understand why they grow worse each winter, and find them­ selves gradually becoming unable to get around as they once could; yet they know that their trouble came on at first as little aches and pains, which hardly attracted their attention.) Everybody should know more about rheumatism; they should know that it is a peculiar condition of the blood upon which all the liniments in the world can have no effect whatever. The best blood remedy is needed—one which is able to go to the very seat of the disease, ana force it out. Swift’s Specific (S.S.S.) is the right remedy for Rheu­ matism, because it is the only blood remedy free from tnereury, potash and other minerals which intensify the dis. ease, causing stiffness of the joints and aching of the bones.

It reaches even the worst cases where the doctors have made cripples with their prescriptions of potash and mercury. Mr. D. R. Johnson, an extensive lum­ ber dealer of Blackshear, Ga., writes: ‘ My wife was for years a sufferer from Rheumatism, and was treated constant­ ly, but could obtain no relief. The pain was first felt in her left shoulder, and extended in all directions, increasing in severity. The doctors said the dis­ ease was liable to strike the heart at any time, in which event death would be inevitable. "Every kind of treatment recommend­ ed for Rheumatism was given her, including many blood remedies, but none did her any good. She waa grow­ ing worse all the while, and was reduced to a mere shadow of her fotmer self. "It was at this critical period that Swift’s Specific was given her; the med­ icine seemed to reach the disease promptly, and she at once began to im­ prove. One dozen bottles effected a complete cure, and she has had no touch of the disease since.” Every one afflicted with Rheumatism Should take a remedy which cau reach their trouble. S.S.S. will cure the most aggravated case of Rheumatism,Catarrh, Cancer, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof­ ula, Eczema, or any other blood disease. It is guaranteed PORTLAND, OH.
