ANOTHER PIONEER DEAp.-Hon John
a Robneit, pioneer of about ~ and one
OF the prominent farmers OF Linn county,
died at his home aiShedd last Thursday ,at
the age of about so. after an illness OF only
coupe days, though his health had not
been good for year or two. lie was
man highly esteemed through the county.
lie at one time represented the county In
the state legislature, IN an acceptable man
ner. The deceased leaves a vile and two
sons and good name as a monument for
life we'll spent.
Lors or THKM.--A man down at the
jaws Of the Columbia has been abusing
his family and getting drunk, the latter
first. The Pioneer requests him to consld-
er II he hadn't better stop, and further says:
"The saloon men OF astoria will do the wife
and children n kindness II they will refuse
to sell him glass OF Intoxicating liquor,
and we ask them as gentlemen. and In be-
half of five little children, who will some
day bless them for g." Saloon men would
also do favor IL they would refuse to cell
anybody a glass OF intoxicating liquor.
The advise OF our Ex. would apply also 10
some In Albany who fall to provide prop.
crly for their families.
RKMARxABLE.-Mr. John Stipp Of Scio.
Ia renewing his subscription for the coming
year adds the following postscript: "writ-
ten with my own hand In the eIghty.thIrd
year Of my age" Could our readers see
the writing they would shy remarkable .
The letter would be a model of ncatnexs
and elegance for a young lady of twenty,
the style resembling that OF lady more
than of gentleman. We do not believe
that In the whole United States there Is n
man of eighty two years Of age who can
surpass, IL equal, Il, both In correctness
and style.
Nor VERY ELEvATIso.-Wc don't be.
lieve that big debate at Siiverton will do
much good. Too much strife seems to be
engendered. Mr.. Braden begins a news
paper article like this: "There appears, In
the ApfeGlof last week, over the signatures
of those mira s,sl lously cvolutcd prodigies
of smartness, wi-dom and crudition, the
Secular commit, -, farrago of dishonest
ciaptrap, that for silly dishonesty and hy-
pocritical tomfoole-y, stands rivalcd only
in1 similar exploits of that committee"
When the iniidel committee answers this
the air will be blue around Silverton.
Az OFFER.-Thc Oregon Pacific has
made proposition TO Nelson A Bennett to
compromise his SssI,sas suit. AS they
paid Mr. Hunt 100000 In cash II seems
that they are able to do IT, 1t Is asserted
here that the company has fine bank ac-
count for railroad building, and next sea-
son will see the largest years work in the
history OF the road
a BIC DiFFEREHce.--Therc will be
great difference in milier's and shippers
prices in the wheat market, sixty-dvc
cents bushel is all that the general mar.
kets will warrant for shipping purposes,
vet as high as seventy-iivc cents is paid BY
Pcndlcion millers in order to secure grain.
difference of ten cents a bushel.--E. o.
That sounds rather curious, coming from
the center Of n big wheat country.
STINIT.-A. Stint, the blk, has reached
Albany. We were IN hopes he would To-
cate in Salem. That city has the biggest
asylum in the state the biggest state house,
the biggest Indias school, the biggest pen
itentiary, the biggest Court House, and we
arc willing for il TO have Stint too. We
don't want him.
MARRIED.--In Portland, on Nov 20, Mr.
Jos Weber, Jr, and Miss Annie Mansfield,
Rev clapp officiating. The happy couple
passed though the city last evening on their
way to San Francisco on their bridal tour.
The DEMOCRAT extends them its best
wishes
PERPETUAL LrFE.---A scheme to catch
the unwary is an advertisement stating that
/, the advertiser will send to any one en-
perpetual life. The "sucker" who sends
the dollar receives by return mail neat
card, on which are printed the words,
Don't die"
MARRIED.-on Sunday, Nov. asth, 1888
