Looking for a Needle
A little daughter of Mr. Obe Parson, who lives near Portland, this county...is under the care of a physician, who is trying to locate a needle which got stuck in one of the child's legs. The limb is badly swollen, but we understand that the little girl suffers but little.

Putting a Lid on the Can-Can
We understand that a canning factory is to be started at Cane Valley. All the necessary stock for the enterprise has been subscribed, as we are informed. It is said that the company is composed of about fifty men, all living in the neighborhood of the Valley.

Sixty of our best farmers organized a stock company last week and contracted with a Chicago firm to erect a canning factory at this place. The amount of stock is $6,400. $5,000 is to be used in the plant and $1,400 used as a sinking fund.It is believed by some that we have stepped a little too high, we want people to know we are high steppers. Our Bank, stores, shops and mills are no failures and neither will our canning factory be a failure.

The stock holders of the Cane Valley canning factory met at the bank last Wednesday [March 2nd] and appointed a committee to buy out and not build the plant. Which was done in a nice manner and the farmers all returned home knowing well they had the worth of their money in the way of education.
