The saloons were closed on SUNDAY
and also on Monday. which was cleo
ton day, and it occurred to us that if
the government could close a business
two days in the week that it might
also close the same bsuiness seven days
in the week, without disturbing the
harmony of society or upsetting the
republic.

The quarterly conference of the NJ. f.

terian church on last Saturday, Rev.
Mcfarland presiding There was q
good attendance at both the morning
and evening services. Rev. @. s.
Hanleiiter, pastor, is one of the very few
clergymen who recognizes the fact
that to be good pastor one must wear
out shoe leather.
a certain office on Main sreet has
posted notice in conspicuous place

For some time past It has been the
arena for all sorts Of linguistic battles.

No one seems to know what will be
the outcome of the late city election;
whether the new council will favor
high or low license, prohibition or free
whiskev. So far as we are informed,
none of the candidates were questioned
in the matter. One thing, hNwever, we
do know, the present council is COM
posed of good men, men of ripe judg-
ment and of good repute, and we
think that the interests of our town
will not suffer by falling into such
hands.

The city election on Monday last re-
vealed the fact that there are Isl voters
within the present corporate limits
When the corporation is extended as
of the voters would be three hundred,
and calculation upon this basis
would give Lebanon a population of
fifteen hundred. The increase of pop
ulation has been mostly outside of the
present city limits and yet the increase
in the town proper has been 20 per
cent over last year. Lebanon has
made very ereditable growth.
In our last issue but one, we men,
toned turnip that had been left with
Peterson & Garland which weighed
twenty pounds; we pnrposely kept our
large turnip-which rumor says weighs
forty pounds-in the backgl ound, only
to be mentioned after the figures were
all in. A letter from A. r.. Cyrus of
Astoria tells us that he has a turnip
which measures four feet three inches
in circumference, and weighs forty
seven pounds. Unthoughtedly, Brother
| Cyrus has spoiled the turnip industry
in these parts, and we shall now turn
our attention to beet culture in modest
sort of way.
