RAINS GREATLY AID
CROPS AT LINCOLN.
Peas are Looking Fine as Result of the
Heavy Rains. Two Boys Meet With
an Exciting Incident After Sun
day Evening Call.

1t was their first venture in the realms
of romance and they came from Milton
last Sunday night to Lincoln City, to pay
their respects to two young ladies, i'll a
| fine carriage and a spirited horse to draw
it. This was a source of pride to the
young men, bat the horse was feeling
| Just as fine as they were, so when the
| time for starting for Milton after the
church services had been over several
/ hours, the horse ran away with then, and
collided with barbed wire fence, which
resulted in a general s1nashup of the car
rage and two badly scared boys. A kind
neighbor loaned them a carriage to get
to their home with, and they have since
taken the wrecked vehicle to Milton and
returned the borrowed carriage. Mis-
haps will happen boys, so do not let this
scare YOU away from Lincoln: the girls
are sympathetic with your troubles, so
nothing else matters.

The rains have been heavy, but the pea
crop is looking well as a result, while the
strawberry crop was never so promising
as it is now. One of the handsomest ten
acre field of strawberries we have seen
this season, is owned by Marshall Cal
hoon, at Lincoln City. and from the APP
pearance of the field, he will have an
immense crop; so, it is simply a matter
of weather, prompt transportation and
plenty of help, for him to cover into his
bank account a goodly sum for the years |
efforts from this patch of berries.

ton, is now occupying the time of Harry |
