The Lebanon express. (Lebanon, Linn County, Or.) 1887-1898, 1890-10-03

! There was MI unprecedented ruaii
| for sBach's cerner store this week. Some
one, with the design uf5UkIng Stephen,
| placed In his display window a placard
reading, ITO be given away The
news spread like SIMPSONS fox fire Ia
the grain fields OF the phillstlnes. Old
time customers lauded his generosity
and scores Of strangers pledged their
| patronage. stephen soon OWNED the
cause, removed the loquaclous Joker
from his window aud the knot OF Gus
toners dispersed.
The Blue Point soclnhle, last Friday
evening, was not very largely attended,
but those present had very enjoyable
! time. A short program was rendered,
and q delicious lunch was served by
| Young ladies wearing blue point aprons
and caps. The blue point aprons and
caps were not the least attractive fea-
ture of the entertainment. Some boys,
cid enough 10 have relinquished their
apron strings, seemed 80 have quite an
attachment for the blue points.
A stock grower living near town had
q herd Of calves In hIa pasture Tues
day morning browsing and apparently
contented. "Wednesday refreshlng
rain visited this section, and knowing
that Oregon grass comes with hop,
sky and Jump, he became alarmed for
his stock and attempted to remove
them to the barren granite hills near
| hy; but I'M this he was foiled. Up to
Thursday noon he had not seen or
heard OF them, and the presumption is
that they were smothered by the grow
Ing grass.
j. B. Gibhard returned last We'd
nesday from an extended trip through
Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Minne-
sofa. He LEFT here last June, and he
| tells us that he has seen no rain since
he left. He helped his son harvest
forty acres of grain in Nebraska that
Welded 50 bushels In the aggregate.
He also says that hallstones weighing
two pounds fell at Sioux Falls, Mlnn.,
not a great many miles from where he
was stopping. Tell us, We OregonIans,
how you would like to live In a coun-
try where II rains icebergs?
Montague must be preparing for n
boom, Judging by the way he Is stock
Ing up his Mammoth and One-Priee
Cash Stores. BY purchasing his goods
In such large quantities he naturally
gets much lower prices. He guaran-
tees good goods In all the departments
of his extensive establishments at
prices that absolutely astonish other
merchants In the valley, some OF them
going so far as 10 say that Montague
retails his goods as low as they buy
them at wholesale. The careful buyer
Invariably goes to Montague's.
Geo. L. Harris and Mr.. Smith, of
Albany, returned from the Quartzville
mines this week and report consider
able activity In that mining camp.
The lumber, with which TO erect a
building for the quartz mill which was
recently shipped In, is already on the
ground, men are busy framing timbers
and in short time the mill will be In
operation. A gentleman claiming to
Col, has just visited the district, and
says the outlook Is more promising
Than he anticipated.
The One Price Cash Store has be-
come one of the features OF Lebanon
As everything Is new and fresh, and the
prices are so much below that charged
In eredIt-giving establishments, peo-
pie who desire to buy their goods
for cash naturally go to the corner,
where they do not have to make up 10
| the storekeeper for the non-paYIng Gus
ton es who, when they can do SO, buy
on credit, and who are constitutionally
opposed TO paying for anything. Get
| prices ut the One-Price Cash Store and
/ ii there Is any reason i'm you that Is the
place where you Will purchase your
supplies.
! Mr.. John Keown, the worthy post
master at Keown, Allegheny County,
Penn, saws: "Chamberlnin's Cough
Remedy sells better than any other''
| The reason OF this Is because it can al
ways be depended upon. Let any one
troubled with severe cold give IL a
trial aud they will find that the first
dose will relieve the lungs and make
breathing easier, and that its continued
use will free the system ofall symptoms
Of the cold. The premptness puB GER
taiuty of this remedy In the relief and
cure of colds, has won for IL many
sincere friends and made it very popu.
lar. For sale by NJ. A. Miller.
