JUMPER, June 90, 1885.
To the Editor OF the LEADER:
Another wedding on the tapis-so
they say.
The familiar clatter of the mower can
now be heard.
Quite number of new headers have
been bought by farmers of this vicinity,
Old machinery is being hauled out aud
repaired.
The frequent showers are somewhat
retardlng the ripening Of the grain.
Notwithstanding, the emerald green
color of the wheat fells is being rapid
ly superseded by the amber hues OF gold
Chris Ellis and Fred Petre of Willow
Creek and Rev. j. 3. Chamberlain Of
Dayton are in our vicinity. They re-
port good crops in those sections-eveu
better than in this country.
j. L. Redman and Chas. Bowling, of
Adams, were down On Juniper last
week Cooking for a stock ranch They
spoke in tlattering terms of our farms.
and most especially of the one belong.
ing to the man to whom they were talk
ing. J. I. is champion iiatterer.
The tri-weekly mail will be put on
the route between Juniper and Vansy-
Gle July lst; then, perhaps, we can get
our Weston and Pendleton papers in
something less than week after they
are published.
A horse. racing mania seems to have
recently struck this country very forci-
| bly,, as that amusement has been in
dused in quite freely Of late. The
first one we notice was en- North Cold
! Spring between horses belonging to
Hank Capiinger and Geo. Cottrell, in
which $3.50 changed hands, and Oh the
two succeeding Saturdays there were
''big' races on Middle Cold Spring,
with what results have not been pains
taking enough to ascertain.
Considerable improvement is going on
this season in our vicinity. JAS. Corne'
Illus, one of our dashing bachelors, has
had built for himself good house. j.
N. Stamper and Melvin Petre have each
handsome dwelling in course OF con
struction. Mr.. Petre, who but short
time ago was one of our smiling bache
lers, has managed affairs quite different
ly to Mr.. Cornelius, and l believe 1t il
the best plan: he concluded to catch hi:
bird and then build his cage; but jim
thought he would build his cage ane
then capture his bird, but, alas! gooe
fortune has never attended his efforts
D. \. Vanskiver, it seems. adopted thu
latter plan some three years ago. and i
still in the deplorable state of bachelor
hood; but Judging by the rate and mum
ber of times he wanders Cold Spring
ward since couple of young ladie'
: from Weston have taken up their abode
: there, he will soon bid farewell to the
dinsy walls of the bachelor hall.

Americans, more than any ether ma
tion in the world, are victims of stomach
arrangements. This is ewing to the
hurried manner in which they eat their
meals and to the amount and quality of
faod eaten, rich food being cheaper here
than in any other country of the world.
There are very few Americans whose
stonachs are in perfectly health, con-
dition. Most remedies tor derange.
ment Of the stomach are offered in the
form of bitters, tenies, ETC., which
merely stimulate the stomach and afford
a temporary relief. De Haven's Dys-
pepsia Cure is a remedy that supplies
what is wanting in the digestive juices
of deranged stomach and is the only
remedy offered to the public that cures
all fofms of Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Flatulency. Free sample bottles at w.

How many persons live only fraction Of aver
age human life because they neglect to take the
commonest precautions against sickness. 1t is
disease in lis maturity that kills, and maturity
implies growth slight ind;sposition is usually
slighted. They who avail themselves of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters know it to be efficacious
in chronic cases of disease, but the process If
cure is far easier If it it used in early stages
OF dyspepsia, 1nalarial disease rheumatism con-
stipation and liyeFsderangement. Let those who
would avoid the peril which even the most po-
tent remedies cannot avert, steer clear of the
rock upon which 50 many constitutions split-an
under appreciation OF the danger OF neglect 1t
will not do to omit care and q recourse to medi-
