command their confidence as the gen.
eral merchandise firm of s. Marks 4
Co. They are one Of the oldest firms
in the city and have always been iden-
tilted with the city and its growth as
well as Douglas county, having had
and now have business interests in diff
ferent parts of The county. By their
strict integrity and honest dealing they
have built up an enormous trade and
accumulated property and wealth.
They carry q heavy stock Of goods
comprising everything usually fonnL
in general Store, including staple and
fancy dry goods, boots and shoes, cloth
ing and groceries, etc. In dress goods,
muslins, linens, fannels, jeans; also
trimmings, laces, gloves and notions
generally, their stock is the largest,
most complete in variety lii this section
In short, person can get every
thing he wants to buy in this store
We believe. This firm deals largely in
county produce and always pay the
highest market Price. They buy wool,
produce, and grain Of all kinds, and
ship large quantities when it is on the
market They also handle wagons and
farm machinery of the most approved
kinds. S. Marks l. Cos. store is one
of the handsomest business houses in
the state and their extensive warehouse
for receiving cleaning and storing grain
is superior to any building for its
purpose on this northwest coast, as
has been pronounced by many visitors
from abroad as we'll as at home.

NEWSPAPER
The lever which moves the intellect
ual world in the present age, is the
newspaper, and when the intellectual
world is awake and active. mans ma
terial interests are not likely to be
caught mapping very long at time.
Were we to ask how Americans man
age to outstrip every other nation the.
world ever saw in lines of civilized and
enlightened progress, our answer would
be, "by establishing newspapers in
every hamlet in the land" When Rose
burg was yet hamlet, it was fortunate
enough to have newspapers edited by
talented men, and the city is still for
tunate in that respect, having two lrin-
! ting Offices; well supplied with presses
and material, where two handsome and
ably conducted newspapers are publish
/ ed, one representing each of the two
great political parties.
THE pLAINDEALER.
The Plaindealer which was estab-
lished in 1869 by VIM. (aBud'') Thomp-
son as the advocate of the Democratic
principles which were then tho aseen-
iancy, after which it passed into the
hands of Henry Byars and was then
changed into Republican paper; was
afterwards published by Messrs. Byars
tE Hursh, after which Mr.. Byars re-
tired, leaving Mr. E. G. Hursh as editor
and proprietor. In September Of the
year just past Mr.. D. S. X. Buick pur-
chased and greatly improved both
paper and facilities by putting in a
steam engine, etc. printing one of the
best weekly newspapers in the State,
which is still the able champion of the
Republican party. But aside from
. politics Mr.. Buick and his able assis
tants are indefatigable in their adyo
cacy of every cause and enterprise
, which they deem to be for the good Of
the people of Roseburg and Douglas
county, either pccuniarily or morally
The Plaidealer is handsome folio hav
