| Mr.. and Mrs. Jess Sexson. who had
such marvellous escape from death
in an auto accident last week are now
entirely recovered from the effects of
the bruises sustained in that nasty

some reason a deserted building is
considered a fair object for destruc-
ton in Oroville Leave a house vacant

portions of it stolen. There are several
examples of this vandalism about
town.
There are three charred fire wrecks
fronting along Railroad avenue. the
relics of the last three fires in town,
which must leave an unfavorable i'm
pression upon all who travel through
on the railroads centering here as to
the indifferent spirit of the population
regarding the appearance of the town.

new buildings the blackened cadavers
of those partly destroyed should be re-
moved.
Hardly an exchange comes to this
loffice from week to week without an
account of an auto accident frequently

This is a year of conventions and
new parties. and If the work OF NOM
mating candidates for president ana
vice president continues much longer
one will have to carry around print
ed slip with the names of the various
nominees in order to keep posted on
the list of candidates. Now. the pro-
hibition national convention is being
held this week at Lincoln. Neb. Seeing
that the country has adopted prohibi
ton there would appear to be no call
for a prohibition ticket this year, but
some of the old wheel horses of that
Organization think otherwise. II is in
timated that the nominees of the pro-
hibition party may be Bryan and Billy
Sunday. That would be hot combi-
nation.
