Court Week in HwacO.

OYsTERvILLE, Aug. q, 1888.
There is nothing more exciting to
the average dweller than court week.
There is nothing that will arouse a
slumbering town to sudden life and
activity like the rapid influx of Wis
itors, jurymen, witnesses, lawyers and
judges. Heretofore it was generally
understood that there were three tav-
erns in this place, the Pacific hotel,
Wirts, and the Swan restaurant; and
all popular places. The latter sue
cumbed to dull times, and Wirts was
closed as an hotel on account of the
death of the landlady; but the Pa
cific is still alive, well kept and doing
a lively business under the manage
ment of s. A. Mathews. just pre-
vious to supper your correspondent
was enlivened with wonderful stories
of the artistic manner Mr.. Winton
handled the ribbons of the mail stage
and Of the frantic efforts Geo. holland
made over the sand bluff to beat the
stage time. holland won in an ex-
hausted state. while Mr.. Win
ton was suddenly aroused from
a peaceful slumber by the stages
abrupt stop at the usual landing
place. The question of the hour ap-
pears to be, where shall l find a
bed" Several persons slept in hay
lofts last night. A bed on a first
class billiard table commands as high
a price as a good bedroom. The best
table at the hotel is reserved for the
circuit judge and attorneys. There
is quite crowd of people expected
here tomorrow. Most of the private
houses have let out their spare beds
and lounges.
A concert was given at the church
this evening in aid of Prof. Dobbins
and the church. 1t met with crafty
ing success. The building was
crowded; the music excellent, cult
waited, and executed with unexpected
accuracy and volume. 1t may be
safely stated that there is more mus
ical ability in this town than any
place in this county. The Clark fam
lily are experts.
