ssWelT' said Sol. after lively conversation
in regard to the concert which comes off too
late for report this week. '.Well, I'm eager
for Friday evening to come, for feel sure that
it is to be the event of the season; you see, the
very best available talent is engaged for vocal
mus ic; the young ladies of the Academy are to
furnish fine piano music, and as to the elocution-
ary talent, il is the best-ahem!' Its time
for YOU to choke off, said Ratliff, :" for if you
hadn't you would have been telling US next,
that your lecture is to be the cream Of the
program ''Oh, no" replied Sol. :snot while
remember that you are TO speak the Black
Horse and his Rider" Ratliff being some
what mortified by the neat turn, said, ssyou
seem TO forget Mckenzie, Estes and kuyken-
dali, with their Orchestra; likewise the splen-
did solos of Mrs. Payton, Miss Goodell, DIR.
Kuykendall, and all the rest" 'sNo, don't,
said Sol. "but the fact is, the program is so
full of gems, that one don't have time to men
ton them ALL" Then two cha rming ladies
approached, and your correspondent slipped
bashfully away, and lost the rest of the dia-
logue. But he strolled on down the street in
time to hear Charley S., telling crowd about
| the excellence of the Temperance lecture of
Mrs. Weeden, which was delivered in the
chapel Wednesday night. In his enthusiasm
he would have gone on forever, but Bro, Os-
| tertag made him s'come down off his perch, "
to listen to his account Of the deel that he and
| Maie saw last week, but didn't kill.
| Speaking of deer reminds me that, the other
| day, Judge Mulvaney went hunting, and, as a
result, your correspondent was the recipient
of som of the finest venison ever cooked in
Drain. hope he'll go again soon.
The Stat Normal School must be rapidly
growing in reputation, for seven new pupils
were enrolled this week. Among them are

Misses Applegate.

on our street this week; they will in few days
enter as students of the Normal School.
Our Jimmy is on his pegs again, and ready
to greet his many friends as of old. Little
Johnnie Drain, son of !. c. Drain, has been
very sick with fever for some days, but tie
doctor pronounces him out of danger. His
big sis ter says she'll never again mistake her
| little brothers medicine for lemonade
Our friend Hugh Callwell is back again,
! after an extended tour thIogh Washington
Territory, and says, tits truthfulness saves it
from tritcnessl that Drain is better than any
territorial town for a pleasant home. We
hope he'll keep on thinking so.
Mr.. McCallister and family from Illinois are
now in Drain, visiting Mrs. N. M. Cartwright
and other relatives. They expect to locate in
this vicinity and we bid them welcome, for
| they are just the sort We want.
Myrtle Russell has been visiting her Siuslau
relatives during the week, but has returned in

in the special session, further than the ccm-

ings and eAhibitll,ore s;atesnaanship tliis'gue.
