We have made it the policy of the
corporation which we represent to
recommend only such property as
will prove profitable to the investor
and which possesses an actual value
entirely distinct and separate from
a speculative value, and which, at
the same time possesses rare qualities
and is located where 1t has the great
est prospective value of any in the
market.
Living in country possessed of q
fertile soil and beautiful scenery, it is
natural for the inhabitants who give
a thought to such things to desire to
locate upon high and slightly ground,
aud where there is deep, rich, black
soil.
In a country like this valley, of
course, there are no bluffs. Near the
river are prairies like the one which
lies to the east of Salem.
Hence to find the highest, sightli-
est and healthiest as well as the most
fertile you must seek the highest of
the level ground in sight. In select
ing and buying our own homes we
were influenced by these qualities,
and believing that we are an average
in our tastes with other men, we
have made our investments and
secured other property to sell in the

Where peace abides and beauty dwela,
And splendors glow through happy days.
/ dream of friends whose faith is fair,
Idream of love that can not fail.
Ofjoys that never tire nor pale.
Gf hopes shat beckon till the last.
In dreams hear the songs of birds,
see the shores Of happy lands,
/ feel the eclasp of loving hands,
catch the drift Of tender words.
They are but dreams, and /, alas.
Awake to weep my vanished bliss;
Awake to feel the truth of this;
That dreams can never come to pass.

About the things / longed for so.

How dear their dear. fulfllmertt seemed.
Still let me dream, for oftentiInes
The path is tfrear: the day is bleak,
My soul so sad. my heart so weak,
/ fain would hear the happy chimes.
The happy chimes that fancy rings,
Across the dreary moors of life,
fain would see amid strife
The peaceful visions fancy b1ings.

The young postmaster Of an cas-
tern village was hard II work in his
Office when a gentle tap was heard
upon the door, and Ii stepped a
blushing maiden Of is, with a
money order she desired cashed.
She handed it, with a bashful smile,
to the official, who, after closely
examining it, gave her the money it
called for, at the same time he asked
her if she had read what was writ,
ten on the margin ef the order.
"No, / have not, she replied,
for / can not make Il out. viii
you please read itsfor met"
T he young postmaster read as
follows: Il send you So and a
dozen kisses"
CHANGING at the bashful girl, he
said: "Now, ] have paid You the
money, and | suppose you want the
kisses"
YES" she said, "if he has sent
any kisses / want them, too"
It is hardly necessary to say that
the balance of the order was
promptly paid, and in a scientific
manner.
On reaching home, the delighted
maiden remarked to her mother:
Mother, this postofice system of
ours is great thing, developing
more and more every year, and each
new feature seems to be the best.
Jimmy sent me agdozen kisses along
with the money order, and the
postmaster gave me twenty. It

As early as 1910 they accepted
the name Democrat, and until 1924
the party was known 90 the Demo.

Of the case as stated by an eye.wit-
ness are these: Gordy stepped
upon the gallery of Mr.. Allman's
store and fred at his pet cat and
killed it. After much persaation of
friends, Gordy consented to 60
home if they would take q drink
with him; they all entered Mr..
AEIeman's store, aud after taking
the drink, Gordy began to shoot
at the scales that were on the coun.
ter. He fred two shots and was
about to fire again when the report
Of shot gun was heard from the
rear OF the store, and Gordy fell {.
Foar shots were fred, three of
which struck Gordy; one in the
neck, one in the shoulder, and one
through the lungs.
Gordy had been in the habit OF
shooting around Mr.. Alleman's

the store. After bearing with these
impositions for some time Mr.. ALE,
man resorted to the only safe and
sure way Of preventing il.
At this writing the slayer or
slayers of Gordy are unknown, but
this being a case OF absolute nec-
essity, they need not fear the con-
sequences OF confession.
