TRUE ENoUGH.-An exchange says
that a woman's character has been
likened to a postage stamp-one
black mark ruins it. Mans like a
treasury note-no matter how many
stains, it still passes at par. When
woman falls from grace her char
acter is usually ruined forever.
While on the other hand man may
straighten up and be received into
the best society again. All of which
is too true.

Very Dyspeptic.

The decision of the judges in the
award OF first premium in the county ex-
hlbits at the state fair was in favor of
Linn county. The award by the people
was to Yamhill. Not cne single person
have we heard say that Linn deeeryeI
the tirst premium. The managers OF the
fair were so disgustei at the award that
they gave famhill 500 0-McMinnville
T. K.
The above makes one very sleepy. II
Yamhill got 500 it was probably through,
Judge Galloway, president Of the asso-
eiaton and because that county acted
very childish.y. The Scio Press gives
the situation exactly
As We viewed tie exhibits of both
famh.ll and Linn counties closely, We
cannot see how the awarding committee
could come 10 any other concl usion than
what they did. Yamhill did well and
hadza -handsome showing, bu. Linn
did better Tor she had n larger and more
varied exhibit and much better arrang-
ed for exhibition purposes. In general
appearance and artistic design, YamhiIl
was ahead hut Linn's exhibit was larger
and more varied with proper labals on
