On Thursday last, Mr.. Adkins Jr.. OF
west Sound, went to Fairhaven with
carload OF dried prunes, portion OF
the product of the Adkins, Clark, Lee
and Fowler places. The prunes were
purchased by Mr.. Gazzley, of Fair

price. On Friday OF this week, the
steamer Thompson will take another
carload over, nearly all of them going
from the Adkins place.
A number of Mr.. Aliens pupils, of

served. The fun was kept up until
midnight, as the writer can testify, as
his room adjoins that in which the
young people held their festivities.

The Christian Endeavor society of
Friday Harbor will give a Bonnet So
cial next Tuesday evening. March IA,
at the Presbyterian church. AS Easter
is approaching, and all of the ladies
wish new hats or bonnets for that Oc-
casion, it was thought best to attend to
the matter in time and have everyone
satisfied. It is hoped that all ladies
will avail themselves of the OppOr-
tunity, and it is particularly desired
that the young men come out in full
force, as their help is needed in trim
ming the hats. A short program will
be given and light refreshments served,
followed by games and a general good
time. All members of the society are
expected to be present and any others
who would be interested.
Mr.. Leroy Simpson, of Whatcom,
who is representing THE SAN JUAN
ISLANDER, will soon begin making a
tour of the county in the interests ol
this journal. His mission will be to
try and have old accounts Strengthened
up, and to solicit for new patrons.
Every man in the county should pro-
vide his home with the county paper
and keep himself and family posted on
price of subscription is a small matter
to each individual, but in the aggre.
gate is q great help to us. He will
have several clubbing propositions and
any who wish to avail themselves OF
the opportunity can get two or three
papers at but little more than the price
of one. Any courtesey shown Mr.
Simpson will be greatly appreciated by
us. culver D[OS., puUlSucIS.

to purchase place either on San Juar
or Lopez island and settle among vi

OF this county are to be congratulated
In his home county in Iowa he has
held many public positions of trust and
was one of their staunchest citizens
He has seven boys and states that III

them here also. He is now on Lopez
