The writer i o. the opinion that
there are more large. handsome and
comfortably constructed farm resi-
dences in Yamhill county than in
any other county in the state.
The county being q rich -sgricul-
tursl district. the prosperous farmers
apparently believe in living in COM
fort.
La Fayette. formerly the county
seat Of Ysmhill county, is very pleas
antly located near the source Of the
Yamhill river. For a town Of only
fire hundred inhabitants. there are
three churches, viz: Of the Methodist 4
Presbyterian ani Evangelical denOm- !
nations.
The saloon. formerly in business
there, has been obliged TO discontinue /
business. the good people Of the place
having placed the license at 800 per
year which was greater than the
management could meet. Rev. J. |
BOwersOE, who for the past six years
served as pastor for the United Evan
gelical church at Salem, is now located |
at La Fayette, where he is president
Of the Seminary Of hischurch which is
located there. Sunday morning the
reverend gentleman preached an ex-
cellent sermon, selecting for his theme
the third petition Of the Lords
prayer, give Us This Day Our
Daily Bread" While the gentleman
is staunch Mckinley man, ye: he
believes 10 looking elsBhere for his
daily bread. La Fayette has a well
high school with able and
talented instructors and an attendance
Of about 40.
Yamhill county is one Of those dis
tricts in which the free silver ele-
ments in the majority. At the last
election every Office from constable
70 senator and representative, with /:
the exception Of two justices Of the
peace, went 10 the silver party. At
the next election the silver forces pro- s
pose 10 elect the two justices that !
were sighted last year. I
McMinnyille. the county seat Of
old Yamhill, so pleasantly and beau
tifully located within few miles Of
the foot hills Of the Coast range. is
Dne Of the prettiest cities on the 5
West Side. McMinnVille, is a live I
Ousicess center aud has excellent I
with Portland via the I
West Side railway. There are two G
beautiful and costly public school

ege, Of the Baptist denomination is a
beautiful structure. r. jacobson has 7
1egun the erection OF a two story b
1rick on the principal business street a
ntO which he will soon move his o
arge stock Of gents furnishing goods. S
The ThOs. Kay woOlen mills has a
ranch store at this place, which en-. I
Oys big business. We saw the Nc n
iinnyille diamond upon which the d
allen baseball team was so cruelty I
nassacred last Thursday but, In our Il
nourning, we find consolation in the
act that the Chemawa boys defeated
