Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1895-02-07

We are under obligations to Hon.
G. B. Crosno for favors shown.
Mrs. is. and Miss Ruth Gather
went to Albany yesterday and will
return today.
Money on old accounts is very
acceptable at
c. G. CoPELAND's.
County Treasurer Hyde and Post
master Rich exchanged places of
residence the first of the week.
Commissioners Williams and
Bristow are in town attending the
commissioners court, which con-
yeaed yesterday.
The stock books of the Creamery
company are filling up in good
shape. There is good prospect
that the stock will be fully sub
scribed at an early date.
Some very funny things happen.
Many of our people remember the
speech made in this place by L. H.
McMahan, of Salem, and how he
scored the clerks, and particularly
the lady clerks, of the last session.
Well, Mrs. McMahan is commit
tee clerk this session.
We regret to note that County
Judge Burt suffered another relapse
last week and has again been a
pretty sick man. He is unable to
get out of the house and conse-
quently county commissioners
court was held in mis- house yester-
day. We trust that the Judge will
soon be able to be again around.
Thos. Cooper, of Benton county,
spent last Sunday among his con-
stituents, and on returning to Sa-
lem declared himself solidly against
Dolph and voted accordingly. He
states that the republicans Of his
county are largely against Dolph.
What is the matter then with SEN
ator Carter and Representative Da-
ly? They are both supposed to
the same constituency.
Say, that was a terrible slam
when the Oregonian could find but
five leading republican papers in
the state Of Oregon, and the tail
end of the list was the Yaqtina Bay
News. Just think of the Yaquina
Post, ruin by Coll Van Cleve, the
Nestor of the press of Oregon. and
ex-collector of the port of Yaquina.
Can it be possible that even the
Oregonian has heard Of that swap
and flop made by the Post about
year ago? ,.l
