ENGINE FOR SALE.

The OBSERVER Office has for sale a
Fairbanks-M Morse gasoline engine, one
and one-half horse power, with auto
matte sparker attached. The engine
has been used but little, and is in good
condition. Our only object in selling
it is that we desire to install an electric
motor as soon as the new power station
is completed. We cannot guarantee
delivery of the engine before October
Is. The outfit cost new $155, but will
be sold at good bargain for cash.
Here is an opportunity for some
country publisher who cannot obtain
electric power to get away from the
hard work of kicking his job presses
and turning his newspaper press by
hand. The machine would be suitable
for farmers purposes or for some
small manufacturing concern. Call
or write for price.

An Odd Flower.
Yours truly,
w. I. REYNOLDS.

Mrs. Anna Coad, of this city, is the
possessor of one Of the most remark
able plants known to the floral world
the night-blooming cereus. The
plant belongs to the genus cactus and
is peculiar in that it's flowers endure
only for part of single night. The
flowers bear some resemblance to a
water lily in shape, and are almost
snow-white in color. The buds begin
to open soon after dark and the flowers
usually reach their greatest perfection
about midnight. An hour or so later
they begin to cl) )se and before daylight
drop from the stem. Surely, the night
blooming cereus is one of the flowers
that are 'born to blush unseen," and
its sweetness would be wasted we're it
not for the fact that Mrs. Coad's neigh
bors often call at the house and watch
these buds until late hour that they
may at last behold the flowers in
their full fragrance aud beauty.

Hop Picking Commences.

Hop picking will begin in most of
the Polk county yards about the mid
die of next week, although few
growers of early varieties may COM
mence work on Monday. The con-
dition Of the hops is improving
steadily, notwithstanding the ex-
tremely hot weather, and the crop is
absolutely free from vermin. Pros
poets were never more bright for a
gilt-edged crop in Polk county, and
nothing but continued heavy rains
can now occur to cause any damage
whatever. No complaint Of scarcity
of pickers is heard in the Dallas
district
