Honesty.

Honesty is the best policy" is an
old adage, one that will do to arlhere to,
by all classes, under all circumstances.
and IN all conditions of life. In nv
way Of thinking honesty stands para.
mount to all other virtues. 1t is the
very essence Of morality. There is an
old bit of ADVICE that every one who has
a tendency to trickery ought to cherish,
1t IS, ''To thine own self be true. and
1t must follow as the day, the night,
then canst not then be false to any
man. Be honest, do as you agree,
let neither friend nor foe persuade yoa
from the path of rectitude and duty.
A man that is net thoroughly honest in
every respect, though he possess the
wealth Of an Astor, will soon be pointed
out by his fellowman. Wealth will not
cover such a vice. Mans reputation, his
very honor is based on his integrity.
A man whose word is not as good as
his note possesses not the true integrity
OF purpose he should. and will never be
held In nigh esteem by these he comes
IN contact with. Every act of dishon.
esty. no difference how trifling, lowers
him in their estimation and is also a
barrier to his financial success, as we'll
as his standing in society. Then if you
would possess true and firm friends. be
honest | repeat, do as you agree, stick
to your bargains, NO matter what OF
who interferes, let all your actions be
based on principle of integrity. Ever
keep in mind the old Proyerb, ssBuy
the truth and sell it net."

ADAMS, July 15.
| To the editor Of The Leader:
am delighted to inform you that we
are to have a newspaper established at

days You viii have on your exchange
list the Adams Herald" ..Gazette" OF
News haze net yet learned its
name. Mr.. J. T. Armstrong, formerly
OF the Sprague Herald. will be its edi
tor and proprietor. We were both sur.
prised and pleased with him. for he
came not as the proyerbial printer com.
eth. with his hatful of type and solicit.
ing aid. but. on the coatrary, all he ask.
ed was room according to his strength,
and being well supplied with this com.
modify, we have granted his request,
He expresses himself as highly pleased
with the town and its prospects.
Good fortune seems to come like mis-.
fortunes-not singly. Through the en-.
terprlse Of our citizens we are soon to
have telegraphic Communication be.
tween this place and Pendleton. Just
think Of it-a milliner shop. saddler
shop. two warehouses. telegraph Office
and newspaper, all in two weeks.
The town has been full of men and
teams the past week waiting for harvest
to begin.
Several of our prominent citizens"
will rusticate in the mountains this
week.
Some are naturally polite, some &C.
qaire politeness through intercourse
with petite people, but some are obliged
to have it thrust upon them with the
toe Of brogan. Such case came I'M.
der my observation recently.
1t has been currently reported and
generally believed that our old friend
Jake Kees was dead. Jake was along
the other day and informed me that he
was intent on finding his place of inter-
ment, there to erect monument to his
manifold virtues.
Hoping that you, with the rest of
"Westen and her friends" will be
pleased with our prosperity and excuse
any seeming extravaganza in my method
OF telling it, l remain M. S. LEE.

American Dyspeptics.

Americans. more than any other ma.
tien in the world, are victims of stomach
arrangements. This is owing to the
hurried manner in which they eat their
meals and to the amount and quality of
feed eaten, rich food being cheaper here
than in any other country of the world.
There are very few Americans whose
stomachs are in perfectly healthy con.
dltien. Most remedies tor derange.
ment OF the stomach are offered in the
torn OF bitters, tonios, etc, which
merely stimulate the stomach and afford
temporary relief. De Haven's Dys-
pepsia Cure is a remedy that SUPPLIES
what is wanting ia the digestive Juices
Of deranged stomach and is the only
remedy offered to the public that cures
all forms of Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
