McMinnville, Or. - - Feb. 21, 1887
CORRESPONDENCE.
Lafayette.
Miss Belle Belcher has been
very s^ck, but is improving.
A little daughter was born to
Mr. and Mrs. McVicker some
time last week.
Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Kelty
spent the past week in Portland
visiting relatives and friends.
Miss Belle Aiderman received
a very severe injury of the eye
on Sunday. She was using a
curling iron, which by some
means slipped, hitting her in
the eye and inflicting a painful
burn.
Prof. Carl Young has not
given up his school, reports to
the contrary notwithstanding.
It is his intention to resume his
duties this week if he continues
to feel as well as for the past few
days. Mrs. Young’s health con­
tinuing poor, she will remain
for a time with her mother in
McMinnville.
All lovers of justice and right
are glad that Hall’s bill attempt­
ing to ^mend the school law
failed to pass. Put in plain
words, the bill meant just this:
To take away the right of suf­
frage from the tax paying, law-
abiding women of the state, and
give the same right, unasked, to
tramps, vagabonds, impecunious
youths and indiscriminate loaf­
ers of the masculine gender. Is
it any wonder that right-minded
men and women all over the
state rose up in indignant protest?
And all, with one accord, are
gratified to know that the few
who advised the passage of such
a bill were at last left in a hope­
less minority.
And so the county seat ques-
ion is to be settled by the voters
at last. Well, that is the only
way it can be disposed of satis­
factorily to all concerned. But,
whatever yotl do, friends, don’t
get angry about it. Keep in a
good humor, and keep truth on
your side. Don’t “say the county
needs new buildings and will
have to have them,” unless you
know it to be true. Some one who
■ w
said that the other day is very
much mistaken. Our county
buildings are in good order, and
a large number of the people
know it, * while • • more

a
Lafayette has a brighter future
in store than she has had for
years, as indicated by bristling
activity and substantial improve­
ments. Her railroad facilities
are good. The narrow gauge
connecting her directly with
Portland, Salem and other cities,
to say nothing of a number of
towns in our own county, and
the west side connecting her di­
rectly with McMinnville and
other towns.
Of course Lafayette wants to
keep the county seat, and will do
so if she can ; but if she loses in
the contest, we think she will ac­
cept her defeat gracefully.
