H. B. Philleo, now of Dawson
Dakota, arrived in this city Saturday
in rather poor health. He reports
Dakota No. ! and will return as soon
as he regains his health. He is a
sufferer from heart disease and al
various intervals is SO severely attackt-
ed that he is PROSTATE. Irving takes
charge of affairs in his absence. The
Brundages are doing we'll and will
probably return to this city for the
winter.
DR.. Morris Pomeroy has received
an appointment from the government
at a salary of 1900 per year to go
in Montana and take the position of
acting assistant surgeon of one of the

yet known. He started Wednesday
for Ft. Smelling where he will receive
his orders. Morris is a deserving
young man and We wish him success.
Hamlin's Wizard Oil wagon was
in this city a few days this week and
gave an open air concert on Main
street. They are fine singers and
were the means of gathering a large
crowd of people. They sold consider
able medicine but did not make a
fortune. They mean to advertise and
are doing it at a nominal cost to the
house.
Frank Garrison's work on his store
building is progressing finely. The
new addition on the main building is
25x30 feet, two stories high and the
feed room is Ii feet and 7 inches by
80 feet long, two stories high, but the
second story of this part is low. He
intends to complete it right away, and
also change the inside of the old part
by having the plastering taken off
and place ceiling instead, then have
the entire building thoroughly painted
inside and out. When completed he
will own the largest store in Centralia
The boys took into their heads they
would have little fun few evenings
since--the boys boarding at Mrs.
Ferguson sand after Mr.. Whorton
Jr had retired they took his panta-
looms and sewed them together in
every conceivable manner with extra
linen thread then retired awaiting fur
Their developments. They say it was
''just killing to see Whorton get into
those pants. Whorton swore ven
geance against the boys but could not
find the culprits. Boys will be boys.
About the neatest carriage in this
city is one lately purchased by w. Fl.
Cochran. 1t was purchased in New
York City and is made of the very
best material. 1t is plain but beauti-
fully finished, The springs are of
buck board pattern and ride very easy.
The lower part is of a reddish color
while the upper part is black, He
will soon buy horse to suit. Mr.. G.
rather ride behind horse than on a
bycicle. We second the motion.
Friendship has it's duties. You
owe your friend sympathy in his sor-
rows and in his joys. You owe him
confidence and the information about
yourself which confidence implies. |
Yet that information is to be given
with certain reserve, so that you do
not seem to force your affairs upon
him, or to make him responsible for
you Of crises in which he could not
aid you, or would be panied by his
inability, it is often wise to say moth
ing. There is a fine subtle instinct
which guides in such matters. How
ever near your friend brings you to
him, you are to repect his individuali,
ty. Information that is purely per-
sonal you must wait for If he does
not volunteer it, be satisfied that he |
has reason. Do not seek-above all, |
do not claim-it as a right of your
friendship. Be generous, not exact
ing artield.
