Albany and Corvallis people can't hitch,
can't see anything in each other worth
commenting, they are at eternal outs and
there Isn't much use OF their attempting TO
plow together. The following Is what the
Times says Of the entertainment given BY
the young people OF Albany at that city last
week. The ladies who got up the enter.
talnment there had their pogters printed on
a boys press and the Times man was mad,
and then he has about the same affection
for Albany that we have for Corvallis

company OF professionals were perhaps dis.

need much acting their flower drill was
very nicely rendered, and they got out, per.

least, for their assistance In charitable oh.

praise. a special train had been chartered
at Albany and oser fifty people came over
and we hope they enjoyed their trip"
