STRANGE CHARGE AGAINST A CHURCH MEM
BER.-Tne Scottsville Courier says that "up in
Albermarle lives jovial genius who was re-
Gently struck with the eternal unf1tness OF
things by seeing church-going neighbor on
a Saturday take some rails from his fence and
put them on his own, and on the following
day he was worshipping at the neighborhood
church. The gentleman minus of his rails was
led to observe: "Well III be darned; there is
a man who stole rails from my fence yesterday
and put them on his, end now he is here in
the amen corner of the synagogue singing ''Oh
how love Jesus!" Similar inconsistencies in
life are sometimes observed in the best regu-
lated neighborhoods."

IMPROVING THE HIGHWAYS.
The following application by the Commits
sioners of Roads of the several Districts for q
stone crusher, was considered, approved. and
referred to the Board of Supervisors for their
consideration.
HON. ]. W. STOUT,
Judge augusta County Court
The undersigned commissioners of roads res
pectfully represent, that when our roads have
been well ditched and rounded and the rocK y
lodges dressed with clay and made SIN Doth at
the proper season, there will still be places on
nearly every road in the county which will
become deep or rough and almost impossible
in winter when farmers are then most engaged
in shipping their produce to market. We
have found by experience that the only plan
by which they can be permanently repaired
and improved is macadamiziDg. To do this
with sledges and hammers 10 the old way is
too slow and costly. It could be done faster,
better, and cheaper with a crusher.
1t would not be economical 'or each farmer
to buy steam thresher for his ow n use ex-
clusively for it would stand idle too long, and
for the same r. ason asipsle road district could
not afford to purchase crusher. 1.-THE Coun-
road districts to use it, in rotation for month
or more each year. 1t would not be long until
all the rough roads were made smooth and the
soft ones made solid.
We therefore respectfully ask that a mount
ed road crusher with elevator be purch ased
and paid for with county funds for the use of
each road district in rotation.

SEVENTH REASON.

The last reason is not the least;
the social, moral and educational
advantages of the place are up to
the times. Methodists, Catholics
and Presbyterians have schools, the
first named, the Willamette univer-
sity, being the oldest institution of
the kind in the Northwest. The
public schools are well provided,
and improvements are constantly
being made. Two large buildings
are being erected this year. All
denominations have organizations
and church buildings. Salem has
long been called the city ofchurches.
The place is spending no money
on laudatory advertising, and does
not care for the advent of adventur-
ers with boom schemes and methods.
But to honorable capitalists and
business men, to honest and indus
trious home seekers of every grade,
she extends hearty invitation.
No one will hurt you, no Que will
cheat you, no one will misuse you In
any way. But many will be glad to
show you around aud let you see for
yourself. Buy your ticket for

The Jury Verdict in the Scott
Murder Case
FINDS GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER.
Probable Sentence of ImprisOn.
mentor Life.--Other News.
SCOTT FOUND GUILTY.

MCMINNvILLE, Or, June THE
jury in the Scott murder trial agreed
on a verdict of manslaughter after
being out all night. They stood
nine for murder in the first degree
and three for acquittal. The motion
for new trial is to be argued at two
o'clock to-day. The public look
upon the verdict as a compliment to
the general good character of the
Scott family and the generally pre-
vailing opinion is that the defense
will not press the court for new
trial and that Scott will get ten, or
fifteen years Imprisonment. This
will be practically life sentence on
account of the feeble condition of
the old man.
