The farmers all over the county have
been busy as bees for the last two weeks
preparing for harvest.
Mr.. Jackson Henkle who had the 3!

right there will very likely be some boot

If you want the best of beef, mutton OF
pork go to Mr.. Baesen's Palace of st. Mich
olas markets, where it is always kept in the
best of order. He runs wagon regularly
in the country from which farmers can be
supplied with the incest the market affords.
News from the bay reaches us that a
couple of suspicious looking characters have
been prowling around in that vicinity for
the past week. They claim to hail from
Corvallis, and the last time seen in that
precinct one was trying to decipher the
dots and dashes in a lobster while the other
sat Throwing in" a cases6f double-leaded
bivalves.
A few days ago the physicians attending
upon young Wm. Holgate of this place,
opened place near the small of his back

therefrom which has been discharging in
large quantities ever since. 1t is feared
now that a new formation may have COM
menced With what result it is not GER
tainly ascertained.
Mr.. A. Lloyd, of Col:ax, came to this
county on last Saturday on business. Mr..
Lloyd came to Benton county in 1916. He
says at that time there were but two houses
between Mary's river in Benton county and
the California line; one was a dwelling,
and the other was very small store kept
by a blind man on the land now owned by
Mr. E. Hairless
A party of young men of our town started
the other day on fishing and hunting ex-
pedition well equipped with fishing tackle
and cork screw. After returning our re-
porter interviewed the pleasure seekers and
they reported as having had good time.
They caught fine string of trout and cap
tured quite box full of "web-footed" game
that they had shot in the neck.
On last Wednesday while Mrs. J. Grims-
ley, of Corvallis, was hanging out the
washing, by an accidental jerk of the line
she was thrown and fell so heavily that she
bryke her thigh bone near the neck. DR..
F. a. Johnson was called immediately, and
under his careful treatment the sufferer will
doubtless recover as rapidly as circumstance
es will permit. Mrs. Grimsley is about
ninety years of age.
From private letter we learn that Mr..
this county, are near Cheney, Washington
Territory, and are enjoying the best of
health. MIR. Williams has charge of very
large flock of sheep. Not long since, while
camping on one of Natures greenest grassy
lawns, the sheep got poisoned and as many
got to the creek, died. Although the loss
was but thirty head, the risk was ten times
that number.
Mr.. Giles Hodge, while in Phfomath last
Saturday, undertook - with a brasskettle
full of nails, to ride his mule home. The
mule was used to coarser music, and, to
say the least, did not have a very steady
nerve. So when the nails began to rattle
in the kettle he showed some symptoms
and Dir. Fl. got off on his back in the middle
of the road. There is one more man who is
glad that mules are going out of fashion.
