The * 77<iis narrative from a minister is of greatest value to those whose nerves are unstrung, health shattered or otherwise ailing. It is particularly appropriate in this age of active, nervous, endless labor. We are living too fist. “ Fast as light ning,” expresses it, for we talk by elec tricity, cook by electricity, travel by electricity and so on. Its a hurry, hurry, hurry from the cradle to the grave. We crowd too much : crowd our work, crowd our eating, crowd our pleasure, crowd our sleeping. A “ breaking down of the nervous sys tem” is the way of expressing the result. It means a depleting of the nerves in duced by prolonged strain ; overtaxing of the nervous system*; a product of over hurry and bustle. It affects all people in all walks of life. It bafiies physicians of all schools. No one knows the horrors of such a condition better than Rev. J. N. Mc Cready, of Elkton, Mich. For years he labored faithfully and well. He was pro gressive and aggressive ; a leader among men, a deep thinker and a hard worker. In his zeal, he overworked ; overtaxed his mental and physical strength. The outlook was dark,with health shat tered and recovery apparently hopeless. Many means for a cure were tried, with out receiving benefit. Finally he took Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and was restored to health. He says: “In April, J8%, the physicians said I must stop preaching or die. “ I had overtaxed myself and was suf fering from a complete breaking down of mv nervous system and a persistent stom ach trouble. * Having bought the YAMHILL PH ARM A Y We intend to run an up-to date drugstore.

Monday, March 7th, the annual school meeting will be held in this building. Patrons of the school should keep this in mind. We understand there is a disposition on the part of some of the members of the literary society to adjourn the society after next meeting. Mr. Watkins gave us a very good ad dress last Friday morning on Cuba. Among other things he said : “Cuba is a child of America. Her cause ¡8 our cause.” Cook School Note«« Total number enrolled, 175.

Fight compositions were handed in for the prizes Monday morning, and now we are all in suspense to find out who will get the prizes. Ray Antrim and Miss Stilwell were visitors this week and Revs. Hunsaker and King, Director Irvine and Dr. Baker and Mies Agnes Galbreath were with us last Thursday. Bertha Wood, Minnie Sutherland and Sam Evenden are still absent from school on account of the measles. Nannie Ma loney has returned to her studies, after enjoying a severe tussle. Two of the teachers of this school have never had them. If they will do neither, they should be taken after the completion of the locks and given a good ducking in deep water. The Oratorical Election. The Delsarte elocution teachers, Mrs. Francis Partlow and Miss Ruth Baker, have just returned from Independence, where they gave a most successful enter tainment, and will immediately open a school of graceful deportment and ora tory. Those wishing to contest, please call at Mrs. Ben Hartman’s at 4 p. m. any week day. This will afford an op|K>rtunity to develop their literary tal ents, nnd none can well afford to miss it. The entertainment will be given at the opera house, March 16th. A general admission of 25 cents will be charged. Heal Estate Transfer«. Meeting o( Central Committee. MeMinuville, Ore., February 12th, 1898. To the members of the republican county central committee of Y'amhill county. There will be a meeting of the republi-: can county central committee for Yam-! hill county, Oregon, at the court house in McMinnville, Oregon, on Saturday, March 5th, 1898, at one o’clock p. m., for the purpose of fixing the time for holding primaries and the county con vention, and apportioning delegates to the same, and for the transaction of any other business that may regularly- come before the meeting. Respectfully Yours, J ames M c C ain , Chairman. J. W. H obbs , Secretary. Many evaporating establishments are now projected in cities and towns through out the Pacific Northwest. While it is well to hate these built, the wise fruit grower will not depend upon them, but will have an evaporator of his own. No prune grower in particular can depend upon realizing a reasonable return for his crop, unless he is prepared to dry the fruit himself. When he is so prepared, he can either cure his crop at home, or sell the fruit fresh as seems best at the time, provided there then be a market for the fresh fruit. When a prune grower is obliged to hire someone else to dry his fruit, he is very likely to have a troublous time of it, and to find that there is very little profit in his crop. If he can sell his fresh prunes outright to some person or company engaged in the business of drying, the returns may be more satisfactory.—Rural Northwest. Win. Clemmens baa sold his farm to Chas. K. Spaulding of Newberg for $4500. Mr. Clemmens has not decided just where he will locate...........Eliza E., sec ond daughter of Wilson H. and Maria L. Perry, was born in Davis county, Mo., Nov. 10th, 1847, and removed with her family to Oregon in 1863, settling near Oregon City. The family refnained in that section for a few years, when they removed to Linn county, where on the 21st of June, 1807, the subject of our sketch was married to A. R. Logan. Three children were born to them, Will iam H., Martin Russell and Frank A; two of whom, William H. and Frank A., survive the devoted mother, who at 1:20 a. m. Feb. 54th, 1898, passed on before. A large circle of relatives and many de voted friends mourn her tragic death and remember her as one worthy of their love and esteem. Her’s was a life well spent in deeds of kindness and love.—Dayton Herald. A Year*« Y’enr’« Supply lu Hi« Pocket. Pocket. It begins to look as if the future prospector for gold will be able to carry a year’s supply of food in his vest pocket. The condensed food ex- ex periments have been carried to such a degree of perfection that a tube of evaporated vegetable. matter the size of a piece of loaf sugar will make a bowl of refreshing soup for one man. If the improvements continue to be as successful as they have turned out up to the present time a boiled dinner for one will, in future, take up about as much room as a canary seed. Just imagine the miner ■ of the future fishing around in the • corners of his pocket for a stray bowl of soup; but this is just what is liable to hap pen. Mrs. Lord, wife of Governor W. P. Lord, has been eminently suc cessful in experiments she has been carrying on along this line. She makes a bowl of the most .appetizing vegetable soup and puts it.into such a small compass that a man has to be careful that there are no holes in his pockets, or he is apt to lose it. One thing that is making the evap orated foods successful, is the im provements that have been made in evaporating machines. American in genuity has been put to the test to keep pace with the demand, but it has not been found wanting. The de mand appears, as it has done before, to have created the supply.’ Such a thing as evaporated vegetables was practically unthought of before the Klondike excitement, yet today the miner can live as well in ’the frozen north as he can at home, if he has the money to supply the food. The foods do not take up one- quarter of the room that the plainest fare did a year ago, and’ everything that an appetite is liable to crave is put up in condensed and evaporated form, and retains its original flavor. As the result of the experiments which Mrs. Lord has been carrying on, not only meat and vegetable soups are condensed, but baked beans and other delicacies are produced in this form. Mrs. Lord has the facilities for turning out four tons of these soups a day, if there is a demand for them. Such a factory can be run on the most economical plan, as two or three girls can do the work^ Mrs. Lord has solved successfully the secret of making the evaporated foods so that they will retain their original flavor. It is found that if beef is cooked with the vegetables to be evaporated they will retain their original properties. One soup that Mrs. Lord has suc ceeded in making includes tomatoes, celery, beef and other desirable qual ities. A cube of the evaporated soup is sufficient for one man. It is said that the baked beans treated by this new process lose 40 per cent of their weight, and some of the evaporated foods lose four-fifths of their weight. Week ending March 2d.
