Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1894-10-26

Lester Coffin OF North Yakima is in
this section looking after his sheep i'm
terests~ He informs us that he and his
brothers are doing an enormous mer-
camille business at Yakima, their daily
cash receipts averaging 5000, as dali as
times are. A little 6-inonths-old daugh-
ter adorns the home Of Stanley and wife,
and altogether the Coffin Bros. are do
ing well In their new field.
A great many people are continually
talking OF "hard times" and they do
everything they can 10 make them hard
or, and instead Of raising something to
sell that is in large demand every few
months In the year. they put too much
time In holding down dry goods boxes
and talking mean things about some
other fellow that they know nothing
about only from imagination.
Our new school teacher, /. s. Van
Vliet arrived here Saturday from his
home at Peru, Nebraska, and began
teaching Monday. He comes well rec
commended as an able instructor, having
taught some Of the leading schools of
Nebraska and other states. Mr.. Van
viiet Is q young man OF pleasing address
and as he Is very agreeable gentleman
there 10 no doubt that he will give
universal satisfaction.
We do not know how often we shall
have TO state that we will not give space
to obituary poetry, except at rate Of ten
cents per line. Nearly every death that
occurs In this neighborhood stirs in
some one divine effiatus and forthwith
they insult clean, white paper with
poetry" devoid OF sense, devoid OF
measure and imperfect Of rhyme. We
will not willingly be party 70 take adj
vantage Of the dead. Guard.
Messrs. Jas. and Val Wheeler left
here yesterday for the Siletz Indian
reservation on the coast west OF Port
land. This choice and valuable land is
open for settlement, all it lacks being
the presidents signature. These gentle
men propose 10 file on homestead and
timber culture each, which doubtless is
the best investment they could make
with the same amount OF money 1t win
require. They expect TO return in three
weeks.
Getting It's information from the
GLoBE, the Ontonagon (Mich.) Miner
truthfully says: "Condon is in Gillian
county, Eastern Oregon, 40 miles south
Of Arlington, on the Columbia river and
same distance north Of the big bend Of
the John Day river. The country is
mostly open prairie, very rich soil, well
adapted 10 wheat, fruit, sheep, cattle
and horses. Three crops OF wheat are
usually taken off the ground from one
sowing.
In view OF the fact that the country ID
overrun with all sorts OF peddlers and
fakirs, 1t would be well for farmers and
all others TO refuse 10 patronize them !;
and above all, refrain from signing notes
or documents Of any kind. Make your
purchases from your home dealers, and
they will treat you right. II they don't
you know where to find them when you
want to kick. The home dealer is TO be
found every day in the year, while the
itinerant vender is always on the go and
very often turns out to be blk. Build
up your own country by patronizing
people you know. Exchange.

say good-by. | don't think God loves
this church, because none of you ever
die. don't think you love each other,
because never marry any of you. l
don't think you love me, because you

and by their fruits ye shall know them
