STOCKHOLDERS AND DIRECTORS
Of Bank of Newport Hold Annual Meeting.-Re- elect Board and Officers.-Decide Upon An
 Increase of Capital.

The Bank of Newport held it's regu- lar annual meeting of stockholders on the 11th inst. The past year proves to have been the most prosperous in the history of the bank. The condi- tion of the bank was shown, discussed and explained fully and to the great pride and satisfaction of the stock holders. The net profits of the year after all expenses and taxes had been deducted were $991499. The same board of directors who have so suc- cessfully managed the bank for the past few years were re-elected for the en- suing year, viz.: A. D. Bailey, V. Y. Cook, Geo. w. Decker, T. J. Graham, J. w. Grubbs, John T. Flynn, R. M. Johnson, A. B. Shoffner and Jos. M. Stayton. After the adjournment of the stockholders, a meeting of the di- rectors immediately convened.
 The same officers were elected for another year, viz: Geo. w. Decker, president; A. D. Bailey, vice-presi- dent; R. M. Johnson, cashier; T. D. Kinman, assistant cashier.
 The board declared a dividend of ten per cent and ordered the same distri- buted to the stockholders on July 1st, and placed another $50OO to the sur- plus fund, and ordered the remainder of undivided profits held as reserve profits, out of which can be charged any bad debts that may come up in the future.
 This then leaves the bank with a paid up capital of $25,OO0, a reserve capital for which the stockholders are liable and which will be called for and paid in when the business of the bank has grown so it can be used to good advantage of 25,O00, surplus fund of $20,000, and reserve profits of S2,- 414.99, making total of SIP, ,41499 that the bank would have to lose before depositor could lose cent.
 The increase of business for the past year was shown to be large, and fact in connection with it is worthy of note.
 The directory is not composed of politicians as is shown by the fact that not dollar of the public moneys are deposited in this bank. Neither the county treasurer, collector of taxes, city treasurer, nor even the collector of levee taxes has dollar on deposit Notwithstanding this fact the buiness of the bank is larger than it ever was before at this time of the year.
 Business based upon the politics of the officials is tickle, of course, but when business has grown to such large proportions from the individual business of the community and coun- ty, it is known to be healthy and per- manent, and the directors therefore recognized the fact that an increased capital could be used to good advan- tage and handsome dividend be guaranteed thereon, and they ordered an increase of capital of $12,5O one- ,1G,alf of which is to be paid in October r,S,, and the other half Oh January 1st. Ihe executive board elected to pass Hpon loans and the minute details of the business for the ensuing year con- sists of Geo. w. Decker, president; A. D. Bailey, vice president; Joseph M. Stayton, attorney; James w. Grubbs and R. M. Johnson, cashier.

One of the most curious finds ever
made from the sea was that which
came to the Azores In 1858. The Is
land Of Corvo was then in the posses
sion of two runaway British sailors.
One morning there drifted ashore a
craft which had evidently been frozen
In the ice for a long time. 1t was an
ancient and battered brig, without
masts, bulwark or name, but the
matches were on. the cabin doors fast,
and the hulk was buoyant. She had lit
tie cargo. and that consisted of skins
and furs in prime condition.
No papers were found in the cabin.
but it was figured that she was q
sealer or trader. carrying crew of
10 or IL, and that she had been pro-
visioned for year. The -four was
spoiled. but the beef was perfectly
preserved. She had been abandoned
when frozen in an iceberg and drifted
for years. The date Of the letter found
In the forecastle showed that the brig
had been abandoned nearly half a
century before. The two sailors got
out the furs, which eventually brought
them $4,000, and two barrels Of beef
and then set fire to the wreck. No trace
was ever found Of its name OF owners.

An eccentric clergyman In Cornwall

After enduring it for some time he
said on entering the reading desk one
day: "Brethren. regret to see that
your attention is called away from
your religious duties by your We. J
natural desire to see who comes in
behind you. propose henceforth to
save you the trouble by naming each
person who may come late"
He then began. Dearly beloved"

Mr.. S. looked rather surprised, but
the minister. with perfect gravity, re-
sumed. Presently he again paused.
"Mr. c. and William D."
The abashed congregation kept their
eyes studiously bent on their books.
The service proceeded in the most Or
derby manner. the parson interrupting
himself every now and then to name
some newcomer. At last he said, still
with the same perfect gravity:

THE AxaoRA GOAT.

During the past ten years number OF
our active farmers have been introduc
ing the Angora goat into Lane county,
especially in the foot.hill country,
These thrifty farmers had but one object
in view at the time these goats were
purchased, and that was TO clear up their
farms at small expense. They bought
the goat for his work and not for his
wool. During the past five years, how.
ever, there has been 4 great revolution
in the goat industry. Manufacturers
are beginning to discover the many ad
vantages and special qualities OF nohair,
Numerous desirable and elegant fabrics
are now being made from this wool, and
it has been found that the goods are eX-
ceedinsly fine and durable. Another
special feature OF this goods Is, that IT is
much more free from the attacks oi
moths than goods made from shcep's
xool For this reason, il IL said that
the major portion Of the valuable up-
holsterY now used in railway cars, is
made Of goat 6 wool.
The entire number OF Angora goats in
Lane county today will probably not
exceed 900 head. When we come 10
consider the vast area OF good brush
country in sthIs county, 50 well adapted
To goat grazing, We can readily gee that,
instead Of the small number now kept.
we could keep TO advantage hundreds

alone and keep them well. We are
speaking now more particularly as to
the value Of their wool and increase
and If the profits that are bound to oc.
cur BY continuous and thrifty care of
the domestic goat. As TO their adapt
ability TO our climate there is no ques-
ton, and as to the numerous advantages
arising from raising goats. this has been
Thoroughly and satisfactorily settled
long since.
We would earnestly commend this
subject 10 the active and enterprising

ance of which the stock roam at larce,
Running water is abundant, and stock
does not lack water in the driest season,

OF grain, hay, fruit and vegetables, and
half hill and upland. The table lands
bordering the valleys are partly covered
with timber or brush, most OF it being
