HOW TO KEEP HAPPY.

IN ESPONDENCY is a thing of evil
origin and evil results. Worry
IL produces nothing but wrinkles
and wretchedness. Let the
reader put up little note on her
bureau, on her desk, and at the head
of her bed, just two words, DON'T
WORRY. Worry is the greatest foe to
the happiness of any household. An
anxious, respondent face, fretful,
complaining voice, will make every one
uncomfortable.
A woman's nerves are more truly the
cause of worry than outside troubles.
The nerves are to a woman's body the
telegraph system which surely warns
her of any trouble in the feminine
makeup.

After a few issues, partnership was

In jackson county, but in 1885 the
Legislature set off a portion of n range
of townships and annexed them to
Josephine. The county seat was re.
moved from Kerby to Grants Pass in
June 1885. The town at this time
contained some 900 or 600 inhabitants.
