LINCOLN CITY NOTES.

This has been a busy week with these
interested in strawberries, and the shi ip

are causing the growers to regret that

Many have abandoned the crop and
are turning their attention to setting
tomato plants; hut the dry weather
prevents much OF that work being
done.
The Union Sunday School will hold
a festival on the church lawn this Sat
