The sad news of the death of Mr. W. B.
Carter, editor of the Corvallis GAZETTE fell
upon the people of this State last Monday.
Mr.. Carter has been suffering from i'll health
for several years, but now he has solved the
great mystery, and is relieved from pain.
Mr.. Carter, at the time of his death, was
State Printer, to which position he was
elected two years ago. He was a man of
strong conviction ON all subjects, but had
the happy faculty of maintaining his views
without giving offense to those who differed
with him in fact he knew what charity
was. For many years he has conducted the
GAZETTE In a manner worthy of the consid-
Grafton of Oregon journalists. He leaves
probably more warm personal friends than
any other man in Oregon would. A wife
affectionate husband and father, and the
community a lamented citizen. Enterprise.
w. B. Carter, State Printer and publisher
of the GAZETTE, died at Corvallis last Sun
day of heart disease. Mr.. Carter came this
State, from Illinois, in 1852, and has been
connected with the newspaper business, al
most steadily, ever since. He has been the
publisher of the Corvallis GAZETTE for the
past sixteen years. Mr. Carter was a man
of Radical views for all things were regard
ed by him as MATES of principle and not of
policy. Nevertheless he was not arrogant
and we know of no public man in the State
that had fewer enemies more friends than
w. B. Carte. He was live, public spirit
ed citizen, Jealous in everything he under
took strictly temperate, though OPEN
hearted to a fault !; in fact man among
men-a Christian. Western Star.
On last Sunday morning Hon. W. B. Car
ter, State Printer and editor of the Corval-
lis GAzETTs. died at his home in Corvallis.
He had been in failing health for months,
but at last died suddenly from neuralgia of
the heart A good man has fallen, where
can one be found to fill his place?
In the ten years past when we have
preached the Gospel in Corvallis he was,
when in town, first at church, to see that
everything was in order, and last to leave,
making all secure. Though Methodist in
his affiliations, his broad, liberal spirit could
he har dpwnD bv no I,,r
riers; for he "perceived that God is no re-
specter of persons; but in every nation, he
that feareth him and worketh righteousness,
is accepted with him. That che was a
good man, is better epitaph than that,
she was great, unless his greatness consist
ed in goodness. In this sense, w. B. Carter
was truly great.-P. C. Messenger.
By the death of w. B. Carter, ESQ.,, which
occurred at his home in Corvallis yesterday
morning, Oregon loses as good citizen as
she has ever had. Having known him long
and intimately, we may be pardoned by
those less acquainted with him for saying
that in private and public life he was the
peer of any, in honor, integrity and truth
fulness-those great characteristics which
go SO far in making up true manhood. With
the utmost charity for all, he was the un-
compromising opponent of wrong In every
form. Faithful to his friends, he scorned to
be unjust to his enemies, of whom he had
as few as any man who had mingled as much
as he in public affairs. During a residence
of over a quarter of a century in Oregon, no
man has ever laid charge of dishonesty or
even unfairness, at his door. Idolized al
most by his family, loved by hi= friends and
esteemed and respected by all who knew
him well, he has passed away in the prime
of life, mourned by hundreds. s.-Portland
