The NeighbOrhOOd News from Our
Regular Correspondent.

We are having an abundance Of
rain this week.
The Viola Normal school closed
Friday with about five hundred peo-
pie present. HH#Hn
Seven of McMinnville's fairest
bellies have been visiting our town
for the last week. They were Misses
Ella, Carrie and Anna Walling,
Claudio Martin. Sallie Hamilton,
Fannie and Lula Gross. The young
ladies smashed the young mems
hearts on every side. Some of our
young men have been very "Gross"
for several days. Others have been
talking in their sleep and saying
"Walling." Another said he thought
"Hamilton" the sweetest name on
earth. But the strangest Of :all was,
one young man ordered a "Martin"
box to be made at once. Two of the
young ladies expressed themselves as
being highly pleased with our coun-
try on account of its beautiful 'IIills."
Another one said we had the largest
"Martins" she ever saw. We are of
the opinion that some Of the boys in
and around Viola will have more
business in McMinnville than they
ever dreamed Of having.
The sociables at Geo. f. Chidsey's
and John F. st. Johns last Friday
and Saturday nights were very much
enjoyed by all. Messrs. r. L. Miller
and Alton Hill, and Misses Melissa
Merritt and Fannie Gross furnished
some most excellent music for the
sociable at Mr.. st. Johns Saturday
night.
Dock Sain and Will ThaXton came
from Manchester Friday with a bad
case Of "NinsOns." Dock said his
ninety-five cents bouquet was awful
nice.
Joe lively was here last week de-
livering pictures. Joe carried one of
our young ladies off with him. We
don't know whether he intends to
keep her or not.
The hearts of our young men were
made bright by the presence Of Miss
Sallie Walton, last Saturday. 1t is
reported that Jim Ramsey has almost
lost his mind, and nearly entirely
forsaken his business on the strength
of Miss Sallie's appearance, and if
anyone asks him the price of any
thing, he will say Sallie.
Mr.. II. B. Northcut and his charm
ing daughter, Miss TIME, were in
our town last week.
Messrs. Tom Logan and Hiram
Tension, Of Pennington, attended
the closes exercises of the school.
The faculty, Mr.. and Mrs, 7. a.
Hardin, and Miss Melissa Merritt,
went home Tuesday. We see sever
al of our young men going about
with heads down and dropping hearts
since Miss Melissa has gone.

man is failure. Well, the leaders of
this feminine association in masculine

President Cleveland for the removal of.
Gov. Pierce who vetoed the woman suf-
frage bill. The petitioners MAY blame
themselves for the veto. Gov. Pierce
like many another man, has an obhor-
ance of the short-haired, stump-speak-

to know more about the mysteries of
politics than they really understand
about the makeup of the. pantry. Had
the woman suffrage bill passed by the
late legislature simply extended the
right of suffrage to that larger and more
modest class of women who are content
to occupy the sphere the Creator de-
signed for them, no doubt the governor
would have signed the bill. The wom-
anly woman is the one we should like
to see at the polls; but the manly fe-
male who seeks to rob the mascline
population of its traditional trousers is
altogether too fresh.

Flax.

Commissioner Loring in reply to a let.
ter of inquiry written by MI. Hoskins,
of the Bathgate Sentinel, on the subject
of flax culture, says: 1T is an annual
OF very rapid growth, being sown in
May and harvested in August, and re.
quires a moist deep loan. As to its
effect upon the soil, much depends
upon the n of its cultivation.
Foreign fax producers are of the opin.
ion that flax improves the soil instead
of serving to i%mpoverish it, but as prac.
ticed in many portions of the west it
must prove an exhaustive crop. When
cultivated for fibre only, it is less ex-
haustive, but to mature its seed makes
a heavy drain, under ordinary methods.
Although it is a native of warm climates
the fibre attains its greatest perfection
in temperate regions.

There are l0S buildings of settlers
marked in the eastern half of the town;
there are as many rs ten settlers on
some of the sections. The eastern slope
and heaviest timbered portion of Turtle
