present revival meeting that is being
held there, and you will never regret it.
Professor P. II. Sparks, principal of
the White Salmon school. was visitor
at Fair Oaks farm on THANKSGIVING, re-
turning Sunday afternoon. He reports
the climate OF White Salmon much
warmer than on this side OF the river; /;
this is no doubt caused by the warm
debates going on among the citizens Of
that thriving little city.

Dukes Valley Notes.

The snow is about all gone, and the
sun has appeared again, and Thanks
giving come and gone, and every one is
happy. We all have much to be thank
full for. We have the finest place up
here in the world to live in; good water,
plenty of wood, fine pasturage, good
neighbors, good school, good literary
society and everything else to make a
person happy so, why shouldn't we be?
Mr.. Shelley, wife and little grandson,
were seen on our streets last Sunday.
Miss Ellen Dodge returned Sunday
from short visit to her parents in the
Crapper district.
W. II. Mcclellan, father of Mrs. A.
7. Dodge, was visiting old friends and
relatives during Thanksgiving week. Mr..
Mcclellan thinks we have fine country
here, and he intends to return sometime
in the spring and make this his future
home.
Billy Dodson butchered two beeves
Thursday, thus supplying the valley
with fresh meat for awhile. We did not
get any of it, but then we know it was
fine, because those said so who did get
some.
Miss Ellen Dodge lost fine COW last
week. The COW was picketed out on a
rope and became tangled in such a way
as to draw her nose down into a water
hole, thereby straneling her. This is
quite loss to Miss Dodge, as it was
fine young COW and the only one she
had.
The snow is all gone and we are hav-
ing spring-like weather. The farmers
are going about their work whistling and
singing and all seem to be happy.
