Manoc’a wife and family are visiting his mother in Marion county. During their absence he has to do the chores and keep batch. The Southern Pacific Co. has placed on sale special tickets, Whiteson to Port land and return at the rate of $2.70. Tickets limited to two days. H. Holmes lost two valuable cows last week from eating wild parsnips. A heavy dose of coal oil saved a third one from sharing the same fate. A dog fight occurred on the railroad track just as the south bound passenger came into town last Tuesday. The re sult was : both dogs run over, one killed and the fight stopped. The Christmas tree at the Presbyterian church was a perfect success. A large number witnessed the distribution of presents and with many wishes for a merry Christinas and happy New Year, all went home well pleased. Little Eula Smith, who lives across the creek west of town while returning from school Monday evening became frightened at some cattle and tried to cross the public road opposite Mr. Cox’s barn. The Yamhill soil proved too deep and sticky for the little tot and she mired down tight and fast. Tier screams brought some men to her assistance who fished her out with more mud sticking to her clothing and in her bootsjthan waB comfortable.

WF.nnHO GOODS. We wish to call special attention to our fine line of paper and en velopes for wedding invitations and announcements. Invitations are not quite as much in evidence as they were a few years ago, though thev are still all right. Announce ments sent out immediately after the important event, are very generally used. Either is accepted as a token of friendship, and is treasured as a souvenir and keep sake in every household where healthy sentiment abounds. The sending should not be neglected. An announcement or invitation should be artistic both in form and execution. We have beauti ful stationery, and have recently added a series of type by which the fine effects of lithography can be fairly imitated if not equaled. * >■ >• *> L ■ k k ■ ► PARTI INVITATIONS. For most invitations the square bevel-edged card 3'» x4\ cannot be surpassed, either printed or written. We have them and can furnish them either written or printed very reasonably. For children’s parties our light gilt-edge card of the same size put up in boxes of 24 with envelopes to match, is just the thing. They are only 35c a box without print ing. MENU CARDS, We have just added a few handsome designs in menu cards to our stock, both folders and single panels, andean supply them in any number, great or small, plain or printed. VISITING CARDS. There is nothing like being in style, and a calling card out of date in shape ¡9 one of the things to be avoided. Our stock is direct from a leading Chicago house and is vouched for as the correct thing for 1897. We sell them unprinted if desired. FUN ERAI. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We have recently added a line of mourning bordered note paper, to meet the legitimate public de mand for this class of printing.

Wills, Elder McCutcheon officiating. Miss Wills is the daughter of one of Carltou’s success ful farmers and is highly respected and esteemed by all. Mr. Scott is well and favorably known in Carlton as an indus trious young man, a teacher in the Mc Minnville publie schools, a graduate of McMinnville college, bearing a teacher's diploma. Both young people are mem bers of the Carlton church, where they are loved and respected by al). Some presents of a very useful charac ter were exhibited. Mr. Scott and wife go to live in Mc Minnville. George Sager, a man aged about forty years, and a bachelor, who has lived on the bank of the Willamette at Weston for over twenty years, was found dead near his house early Wednesday morn- j ing. Coroner Fenton held an ioquest on the same day, as soon as a jury could be empaneled, and a verdict was rendered to the effect that murder had been com mitted by a party or parties unknown. The surroundings showed that rocks had been thrown into Sager’s house through the windows and the door had been forced open. The body was found outside the house about fifty feet from the door, and was stabbed in the back, showing that murder had been com mitted, as it would not have been possi ble to have suicided in this manner. Sager was subject to spells of craziness. Those who knew him well say that they cannot imagine any motive that would impel anyone to murder the man, as to know him was to feel a sympathy for his condition. One neighbor says that though Sager was a poor man, he may have had a few dollars hid away in his house, as he was earning money most of the time and rarely spending any. Coroner Fenton is of the opinion that the man was most foully murdered. The coroner was in McMinnville Wednesday afternoon in close conference with the deputy district attorney, C. W. Talmage, and a thorough effort will doubtless be made to locate the guilt. Sager’s mother and sister live in Kan sas. Watch-Night at Itaptivt Church. NO. 2.
