The lady employees of the B. +
Moore e. Co. Clothing Mfgs., had the
spring sugar fever last week, and new
sugar they must have, but where il
was coming from no one knew, but
after holding Il consultation meeting
it was the unanimous decision that
Selah Daley was the only man on the
job that could ferret out sugar
bush that was large enough tc
swceten up this bunch of girls. Selal
spent nearly all of the week trying
to locate such a place and on Satur-
day reported that he was ready tC
conduct the party to one of those
sugar places, whereby he had made
final arrangements to fill his part OF
the contract. In making these al
engagements the two important fea-
lures that he kept in mind were quail
ity and quantity; the matter of the
distance they were to travel never
was once considered. They started out
following the C. p. railroad and nevel
worried about the danger of walking
on the track as the crowd that went
would stop any train; we don't mean
by looks, but by size. After going
two and one-half miles they arrived
at the sugar camp of Eugene Dryers
on the Arthur Geer farm, where they
found both quality and quantity, and
the small price that they paid for the
sugar eaten was money well spent
for they were a sweet looking bunch
when the started homcward. Now
every one knows the feeling one has
after eating from one to two pounds
of hot maple sugar and this party
was no exception, and to walk two
and one-half miles home seemed q
long way, but they went at it, and az
rived back in Newport without one
falling out by the waysidc, and fine
time was reported.

Searles and Co of our city are
taking large space in this paper, adj
vertising their Sonora talking ma
chimes. They realize the splendid OPP
portunity of bringing this machine
before the public, by advertising in
this paper that is being placed in so
many homes in our city. Watch for
their ads which will appear often.
Does it pay for our churches to
advertise in the papers? Years past
they tried to avoid having sales on
the same day so that they could have
a good sale. Last week three of our
churches arranged to have food
sales on Saturday. The Methodist and
Congregational had food sales, while
the St. Marks have been conducting
a Tea Room for several Saturdays.
Each church bought space in this
