These lots will he Fenced und set with
trees this fsll and perhaps two houses
will be built upon them.
We can spare column to our female
readers, which they can I'LL with news
that would he of Interest to the sex.
We would be glad If the ladies would
enter upon the discussion of the cur-
rent topics of the day relative to the
interests of the "better halfn of our
population; with the understanding,
however, that whatever may be writ
ten Is the opinion Of the writer only.
Strangers get but au imperfect knowl-
edge of Lebanon us manufacturing
town until they have visited the paper
mill now under construction. This
industry will give employment to n
number of men and will manufacture
five tons Of paper daily. The Lebanon
flour mill Is owned by the O'Neil Bros.
and will in time be remodeled In con-
forrnity with the latest-improved flour
mills.
On next Sunday Rev. Calder will
occupy the NJ. T. pulpit in this city for
the fast time, and will remove from
Lebanon on the Tuesday following.
Rev. Boyd is expected IN Lebanon on
Sept. 5. We understand Mr.. Boyd is
u young man of fine culture and ex-
ceeding good ability. The church
should make preparations to give the
brother cordial welcome to his new
field of labor.
Mr.. Callahan, of San Francisco, one
of the propiietOrs of the paper mill,
arrived in town few days since. He
says that Oregon straw possesses the
properties of California straw in an
exalted degree and that it win make a
superior quality OF paper. Mr.. Calla-
han says Oregon has superior advan-
hges as manufacturing State aud that
the time is coming when she will SUR
pass the old Bay State in this regard.
Some of our exchanges are fearful
that the Mongolian pheasant will be-
come extinct unless the clandestine
slaughter of these birds is arrested.
Calm your fears. The Mongolian has
several qualities that will forever serve
TO keep alive his name aud guarantee
anumerous brood: He Is very tenacious
of life, can outrun the narrow gauge
dodge chain lightning, Is very prolific
and can multiply in the face Of bat
terry.
A new kind of social party has been
invented. 1t is called the ayoirCiupois
social. All the girls are weighed and
the weight of the girl is written on a
piece of paper with her name. Then
the papers are all put into a hat and the
young men draw. The young man
must go to supper with the girl whose
weight lie draws and pay for her
supper at one-half cent per pound
1t is very exciting as far as the young
men are concerned.
A fire occurred on the farm of ]. NJ.
Settle, one and one-half miles north
of town, last Saturday, by which barn
and all its contents were DESTROYED
The less was as follows, as near as can
be calculated: Two and one-half
tons hay, S25; one barn, worth three
dollars and six bits; a hog pen, con-
sisting of thirteen rails and s stump;
one hens 5 nest, and gourd. The hay
and the gourd belonged TO the tenant,
Mr.. CIeavinger. No insurance.
A man and family arrived in Leba-
non "Wednesday from Dakota. They
came by wagon, and were six weeks on
the road. The gentleman says he heard
before turning his back upon the hliz-
zard, that Lebanon was the livelicSt
town on the coast, and, like the Queen
of Sheba, he declares that the half had
not been told him. He had not been
In town two hours before he was con-
fronted by two men who wanted his
services at double the wages paid in
Dakota
We always thought woman su-
perior creation, and the latest style
of dress only serves TO confirm
our exalted opinion of the sex.
The very latest style of dress is
fashioned at the shoulders to re-
sembie a pair of miniature wings:
and her angelic appearance has created
a suspicion in the minds of some of
our young men that she is not long
for this world, and to prevent her
translation they are hanging on to
these angelic appendages- Nothing
wrong about this.
Suppose we arrange for course of
lectures on scientific subjects this
winter. These lectures could be
winter months by prominent edu-l
Gators at mere nominal sum.
They could be turned TO good
account by charging a small admittanee
fee. the proceeds TO go to a libary fund;
and in this way we would soon be III
possession of good library. We have
seen the good effects of such scheme
in towns much smaller than Lebanon.
Montague must be preparing for a
boom, judging by the way he is stock
ing up his Mammoth and One-Price
Cash Stores. BY purchasing his goods
in such large quantities he naturally
gets much lower prices. He guaran-

prices that absolutely astonish other

invariably goes to Montague's.
We received another letter relating
10 the church controversy this week, |
but in justice to our many readers who /
see nothing ofinterest in this protracted |
discussion we cannot give it publication |
Every attack seems only to widen the |
breach an0 intensity the bitter feelings /
VII ich already exist. We venture to /
nope that the two parties to the contro- |
Fersy-both of whom are loyal to the |
Great Head of the church and honest /
n their convictions of right-wiil be |
irawn together, not indeed by news |
PAPER controversy, but by that |
CHARITY" which ''suffereth long and /
s kind"
The One-Price Cash Store has be-
,ome one of the features of Lebanon. /
As everything is new and fresh, and the
orices are so much below that charged /
n credit-giving establishments, peo-
DE who desire to buy their goods
or cash naturally go to the corner,
where they do not have to make up TO
he storekceper for the non paying Gus
omers who, when they can do so, buy
m credit, and who are constitutionally
opposed to paying for anything. Get
