WATERLOO GARBAGE.

cuse us, the peoples prosecutors, we
should have said. Public orators are
tiresome, hut we need some more
breeze just at present; H. w. Parker
left for Portland this week to be gone
two mouths. Come out Saturday and
hear how we have been robbed and
never knew it. Read NJ. G. George on
"Greenbacks" in 0regonian April 2.
The spring showers delay house
cleaning, but gardening goes OH apace.
Rev. Haiman, of Pennsylvania,
assisted by Rev, Snyder, with his
beautiful contralto voice, held services
here last Saturday evening and Sun
day. He is "doing" the coast for two
months. BY the way, the church
resembles Sweet Homes cathedral in
the days of Samuel since it has been
decorated with paddock
Old Ezra keeps up his clatter, and
like Banquo's ghost, won't down; go it
Ez. some may not like your efforts,
but on our brush farms they are law
and gospel.
Quiet now reigns in our village.
Some days since--and we failed to
chronicle the happy demise--a few Of
our rising young men left US to beau
tify with their lovely forms the south
ern counties of the state. Now the
others wear mourning and are keeping
shady to throw out the impression that
only the fittest survive in Waterloo;
but this cannot continue for long; here
idleness begets devilment, and we look
in our almanac for "squalP' at any
time.
School is becoming depopulated as
many have heard the frog ir the land
Tor water) and must needs go abroad
in search of employment--and spring
"gadding" soon begins.
We received letter from Bill Nye
last week. He desires the family his
tory of a few of our citizens as he is
going to make a study of "Ancient
Chronics,n whatever that is, hut we
T do not intend to answer as we now
have no more than we need for popu-
list timber.
j. r. Carthew ard family leave in a
few weeks for Alberta. We are truly
sorry to lose these estimable people.
Had it been few others, whom 1t
would not be polite to name, we would
cheerfully have said depart in peace"
AS you never lived in it.
J. B. Leigh still manipulates the
tonsorial tools. 1t was some aspiring
competitor or some one else who said
he was going to leave US.
We never thought you were hit with
club. Who said you were? A club
Is no more a club after it is broom
stick.
The mumps are still abroad-not in
our midst--but in the school. The
under teacher has a fine fine case of
jaw.
The saloon cometh not, and the
license mounteth up until the prohi's
cannot even tind'a drop of water to
cool their parched tongues, and the
candidate snickereth in his glee that
there is one more town in which he
will not have to 'set 'em up to the
b-hoys,n but had the worthy brother
who was cursed of the Kings Evil
come to Waterloo, one bath, instead of
four, would have 'fixedn him, as he
would have had 10 feet of the Santiam
to dive through before the soda.
Wonder what Sodaville egave for that
ad. anyway Ifit Ia true they have no
business with two constables and q
coroner. Ponce De Leon missed u
treat by not coming to Oregon instead
of Pascua, Florida, Oregon the land
of big, red apples, big resources, big
grain, big springs, big parties, big
governor, li.lia-liar-s (loversl, big
nothings and abiding place of the true
and living c. RANK.
