At tbe evening service in the Baptist
church next Sunday, Miss Trumbull
will give an organ recital, beginning at
7:30 o’clock. This will be a treat that
the people of McMinnville have never
before enjoyed, and those who attend
will not be disappointed.
M. O. Warner, the piano tuner in
whom McMinnville pianists have con-
fidence, is in the city. His visit this
time was delayed because of the large
amount of work he had to do in other
cities. Mr. Warner carries a testimonial
of hie work from an eastern house for
which he would not take $100.

The county commissioners at their
meeting on Monday placed the county
levy for taxes at 18 and 3-lOths mills,
which is one-tenth miH less than last
year. This levy added to the city
and school district levies makes the to
tal rate in McMinnville 26.3 mills. One
of our neighboring cities has a city levy
alone of 27 mills, and another of 13.
Considering these fignres, we are pretty
well off.
/There is strong probability that Mc
Minnville’s poetoffice will change quar
ters in the near future. Former pros
pects for a change a few months ago were
nipped in the hud by a remonstrance.
Since that time Postmaster McCain has
made shift with several inconveniences,
such as lack of room, a leaky roof, no
rear outlet, etc., until patience had
ceased to lie a virtue. In response to his
request the inspector again visited the
city last Saturday, and examined the
Odd Fellows building, just vacated by
H. C. Burns. This seems the most
available room, and the terms made are
favorable. It is offered, with everything
furnished, and a large window to be pot
in the east wall, for $30 per month. The
news that tbe office will go there, is
looked for at any time.
The location of Spaulding A Co.’s new
lumber yard, which will open next
month, will be the vacant lots of Geo.
Bentley just east of W. J Loughary's
residence. A new office will be con
structed fronting on Third street near
the railroad, and there will lie a drive
way from Third to fourth streets.
