For the JoURNAL.l


Mrs. John Latham, who has been visit
ing with her sister, Mrs John McReavy
for about two weeks, returns this week to
her home in Tacoma.
Mr.. Herbert McReavy returned last week
to the Naval academy at Annapolis, to
prison he calls it, annapolis may have
more people than Union City, but he does
not find the soclable there, which he does
here. There is place like home, if it
is on Hoods Canal.
The first sermon ever preached at Ia
hocya, was preach ed there week ago
last Sabbath by Mr. Eells. There are
three or four places within ten miles OF
Union City, where congregations OF from
twenty to thirty can be gathered, but
where few years ago there was only a
family or two, or less. SO the country Is
being settled.
Mrs. Dr.. Crissy. with her sister and
husband Mr.. and Mrs. Perry go this week
10 Tacoma, with the expectation of cngag
ing in business there. What is our loss
is TacOma'S gain, as We are sorry to lose
them, for they are the kind of people, We
like to have settle in this part of the couD-
try.
An Agent of the Port Townsend and
Southern Railroad Company came last
week seeking for subscriptions and dona-
tions for that road. They promise to have
the road built in three years or the dona-
tons revert to the donors.
Miss NJ. A. McCullagh goes this week
to Elma or near there where she has en-
gagged to teach Schools.

is often the best and purest to be had in

understand shutting the windows in town

the sake of the sick. The absence OF

night the best time for aiding the patient
