DR.. Webb's little daughter Flossie
has been on the sick list since our last
issue, but is much improved at this writ
ing. Ditto Erye Rrice's little boy.
M. s. Phillips has just received a
new invoice of furniture. There is a
bedroom set in particular, that few deal

keep in stock.
Don't forget that the marquerade
ball at Reaney's hall, is on New Years
NIGHT, and not on New Years eve, as
some have enormously thought. Spec
tators will be admitted for the small
sum of % cents.
Have you read Mcconnell, Cham
bers & Co.'S adj. as it now appears in the

The latest news from E. L. Farrand,
who is at the Walla Walla hospital, I'M
der the care of Dr. Blaloek, is that he is
improving and the chances are favorable
for his recovery, which will be agreeable
news to his friends.
Last Monday evening some bulge
inspired individual with pugilistic aspir-

pane of glass in the window of the store
room formerly occupied by Philip Bre-

H. S. Conover, of Minneapolis, Mimi,
who represents thefrm of L. S. Seaver &
Co., grain merchants of that city, has
been in town the past week and taking
a look over our county. He has bought
100000 bushels of wheat, this fall, in the

the trains Besides it gives strangers
bad impression of the town. II some
one is injured the town may have to pay
more for damages than it would cost to

And, by the way, what is the matter

the Odd day of December, 1888. But,
on the morning of the 23d, the men who
were SO unfortunate as not to have fire
