Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1894-11-29

a pleasant caller at this Office yes
terday. !
Let us hope that the democrats
and populists have digested their
dish of crow, and that they will be
ready TO feast on turkey along with
the republicans today.
Mr.. and Mrs. Renus Arnold came
up from Yaquina today to eat
Thanksgiving dinner with Mrs.
Arnold's parents.
Considering that our exhibit got
free freight on the o. P. and had
to pay full fare down on the S. P,
It leafs one to wish that the S. P.
was in the hands of a receiver.
M. Chevalis, a creamery man
from Linnton, Ore, is in this coun-
ty looking the situation over with
a view Of locating. Should he To-
cate in our county he will probably
be followed by several more people
of his own nationality.
Stony Wells, well known to
many Of Our readers, came over
from the Valley last night. Stony
has been sick with a fever for about
seven weeks, and tor a time his life
was despaired Of. He is much
reduced in flesh, and hardly recog-
nizable by his old friends.
A great number of Our friends
from all over the county have
favored us with calls this week.
They were too numerous to give
each Of them an extended notice,
but we assure every one of them
that they were most heartily well
come.
The November term Of district
court adjourned yesterday about
two o'clock. During the whole
term there was not case Tor the
jury. The trial jury could have
been discharged Tuesday had they
not been held back by the deliber-
ations of the grand jury.
The Lincoln county grand jury
after being in session from Monday
evening until Wednesday noon,
carefully investigated all complaints
laid before them and adjourned
without returning any indictments.
This speaks very highly for the
peaceful and law abiding spirit If
the good peoplc OF Lincoln county,
We hope that many more terms of
court will pass ere there is cause
for the grand jury to return an in
dictment against any person or
persons.
Today is Thanksgiving day. Let
us all be thankful for those bless
ings which we have received dur
ing the year just passed. When
you come to think of it all of us
have something which we can feel
thankful over. The farmers of our
county can feel thankful for boun.
teous crops, the INGREDIENTS for in
creasing trade; the lawyers for the
suits they won in court this week;
the preachers for the rapid increase
in the marriage business, and the
editors can feel thankful in the an
ticipation that maybe some subscri-
bers will pay up in time for them
to buy Christmas presents, anyway.
We rather believe, after all, that
the editor has the best part cf it in
the anticipation; 1t is something
he can't eat, drink, or wear, and
no person will take anticipation on
debts, so you see the editor is sure
of having something till after
Christmas, anyway.
AS the time draws near for the
sale under the hammer of the Ore
gon Pacific railroad at Corvallis,
there is reason to believe that sew
eral bidders will be present ready
to buy the property. December a3
is the day set by the court for the
sale aud the uncertainty attending
the final disposition Of this bank.
rupt road will soon be ended. A.
B. Hammond, Of the wealthy firm
of Bonner, Hammond & Co., of
Missoula, Mont, who went TO
Yaquina several days ago, has been
investigating the property, and, it
is said OH good authority, will in
all probability put in bid at the
sale. Mr.. Hammond's reasons for
