On Thursday night last about ~
o'clock j. Sibbal. Of Roseburg, had
three stacks of hay burned to the
ground, the work of an incendiary
Our readers will remember about Il
month ago that Mr. Shoals barn and
sheds together with their contents was
burned. Mr. s. Is hard working
honest man and much respected by
his neighbors. Suspicion points
strong to who the perpetrators Of these
cowardly deeds are, and officers are on
their track.
Last Saturday was great day for
shows in this place, no less than two
spread their canvas and opened their
doors for all to come lin and take
in tho wonders. Gregory Bros was
the largest although not the best.
Some parts of the show was good es-
peciaily the Gregory Bros on the hor-
izontal bar and the three Belfords.
Prof Harvey's Entertainment which
showed Saturday evening also Monday
evening was frst-class in every respect
having larger crowd the second
night than he had the first.
There were two or three fights In
town on Friday night last. Would it
not be- good idea to get the place in
corporated and avoid these distur-
Dances. Don't stand around and say
it Is impossible to get the place incor-
porated, as 10 has baen tried once or
twice, but all join in M organized body
and work with "a will, not leaving IL to
one person to do everything, and it
will surely come. You should look at
the advantages and not the disadvan-
cages that would be derived, better
sidewalks, cleaner streets, in fact, a
brighter looking place to the eye of
everybody, especially the visitors.
Think this over carefully and the next
time Incorporation is brought up vote
for it.
Tho Brockway village school clos
ed on Tuesday, Aug 3rd with an OK
cellent display of appropriate exercises
which were listened to by large num-
Der of the patrons of the school. The
original compositions of several of the
pupils were truly worthy Of commenda-
ton, showing the careful training
which their authors have received at
the hands Of Mr.. Avery their late
teacher. Appropriate speeches were
made 10y Rev. Holmes, of Brockway
Centre, Rev. andrews, OF Old Brock
way and others in the first Of which
was given comparison of the sexes
in regard to reforms throughout the
progressive world A PRoPos of one
boy stating In his essay that boys were
of much more consequence than girls.
The remarks above mentioned went TO
prove quite the opposite. The music
rendered by Mrs. Il. III. Drake, Miss
Vanorman ana others was good and
all went home well pleased and satisli-
ed that the school. during the past
year, has been complete success In
every respect. We understand that
Mr.. Avery intends to enter the office
OF his brother this fall and henceferth
devote his energies to the study Of law.
We wish him all possible success in
his newly chosen profession but he
will certainly be missed in the werk
ho Is forsaking both by past pupils and
patrons. A PATRON.
