We always thought that the newspaper bust
ness and preaching were incompatible until
we saw Bro. Bells success in both.--West
Side.
! A subsciber in Coos, sent the money and
asked US to stop his paper, which we did in
stantly. He gave as a reason, that we did not
run the REVIEW as he dictated to US sometime
| since. There is but one manager of the
| REVIEW at present.
| Hon. E. G. Hursh has commenced the erec-
ton of a chicken house. A more inappropri-
ate piece of architecture just at this time could
not well be conceived of in Roseburg. It re-
minds us of the man who bought lock for his
stable door after the horse stolen.
Hon. Binger Herman our townsman and
Congressman whom Roseburg delights to
honor, has returned from an extensive trip
looking after the wants of our young and grow
ing state. We believe Mr.. Hermann will make
us faithful representative. So be it,
Rev. Trad Richardson, who once was in
charge of this office gave US several pleasant
calls this week, and congratulated us on our
many Improvements. Thanks, Trad, we in
the most cultured can read with profit.
Gen. G.. E. Caukin, District Agent for
the Travellers Accident Insurance Company

books of the agency here, and interviewing
our citizens in reference to the importance OF
giving attention to providing against accidents
incident to human life.
AS the sun went down last Sunday evening
clad in garb of fire, at the same moment in
the east was seen the silvery faced full moon il
its march towards the zenith. Two beautiful

and yet luna was only rejecting the light sht
got from sol. How strange!
J. T. Hinkl brought from Cottage Grove
last Friday two black and tan and one yellow
tan hounds, with which to catch coyotes. Sax
is the price paid for two of them and the othe
one we could not learn how much he gave fo
it or even how he got it. At any rate they arr
the finest dogs yet brought to Douglas that W.
have seen.
Prof 7. B. Homer and wife came to Rose
burg last Monday and are making preparation

Miss Winifred Moshcr is here, and Miss Ha
will be in few days.

Il the clergymen coming to Conference last Tues
day and Wednesday evenings received spler
:. did supper at the house of Mr.. Teal at Oak

do better next time.
We were shown this week some very fin
samples of dried French prunes and Egg plum
Il raised and dried by Mr.. L. c. Hill, one

}. one of the best in use.

e The farmers of Douglas county are fortuna
in the fact that I. Ford as agent for the eel
