The church was crowded at the morning
service. After appropriate music, the SER
mon was preached by Rev. Angus r.
Shaw, now pastor of the leading Presby-
terrain church in Portsmouth, Va. 1t was
an able and powerful presentation of the
old theme, Choose we this day whom We
will serve 1t was an old theme, applied
to living, vital problems, with directness
and point that he'd the large congregation
from start to finish. 1t was a fresh and
invigorating gospel sermon, free from dull
ness or sensation-the Scylla and Charyb-
dis of preaching. The people were delight
ed to hear Mr.. Shaw again. He was once
pastor here and returns often to minGle
with his old congregation. He is well
pleased with his Virginia home but the
tar sticks firmly to his heels.
After the morning service, the people
repaired to the surrounding grove to eat
their dinners which they had brought
from their homes. 1t was a familiar and
pleasant scene to see them gathered in
groups, chatting about the sermon, ex-
changing views with their neighbors, and
drinking nothing stronger than the health
giving beveragel OF the Spring here. 1t
was hot day--(you remember how hot IC
was last Sunday and how you sweltered y
but these good people didn't seem to
think it was too hot to go to church. On
the day previous it was just as hot but
they didn't abandon their work. There IS
a sermon in this for folks who stay away
from church on hot Sundays.
After dinner and little rest the church
bell rung again, and the church was
crowded again. Is any time of day so hot

fine sermon with not grain of predesti-

disciples of Calvin as we'll as the Armeni-
ans and the strangers within the gates.
When the doxology was pronounced, and

LAID To REST.

The funeral of John D. Wood,
schoo1master for half a century,
took place from the Plymouth
church on Wednesday last at 1890
a. m. conducted by Rev. Frank l..
Moore. The little church was
filled by many friends from Cor
wallis, Philomath and the surroun
ding country. Prof. Wyatt OF Phi
1omath had charge of the music.
After the services which were of
unusual interest, the remains were
laid to rest in the Newton cemetery.
Mr.. Wood was member of the M.
E. church for more than so years
and a man who made it his con-
slant habit of life to do something
helpful as he passed along each
day.

SEATTLE HORSE BUYERS.
They have Made Several Purchases in
Benton This Week.

g-S T
A farmer who owns good horse
now, and wants to keep him, has to
fortify himself against all kind OF
offers from buyers. This week
Messers Dickinson, and Vernon,
proprietors of the California stables,
Seattle, were in this neighborhood
and succeeded in buying three
heavy horses.
They procured a span of draft
animals from Rufus Skipton, and
one from Elvin Witham, paying for
the latter $3.50. The price of the
Skipton team was not learned.
These gentlemen secured number
of horses in Linn county also, and
they will ship from Albany next
Tuesday. o. H. Holcomb, a
Seattle buyer well known here, ar
rived Thursday, and took drive
down the Soap Creek road. From
A. N. Locke Mr.. Holcomb. secured
a fine four. year old horse weighing
I, 500 pounds. This animal cost the
buyer $500. A call on Ben Harris
resulted in the purchase of a 1900
pound horse for $3.50. Mr.. Hol-
comb was to have been with us the
remainder of the week and expec-
ted to buy several other horses.

WANTED TO SELL.
His Farm-But Didn -Mistook Buy.
er for Assessor and Talked
Wrong.

A whole lot less than a dozen
miles from Corvallis is a man who
wants to sell his farm. He had a
buyer the other day, a new ar
rival from the East, who had the
dough and was red hot for "a trade.
But no sale was made, and there
to hangs queer tale. The owner
is not personally acquainted with
the county assessor. And when
the Fastener came nosing around
on the farm, the owner had pre-
sentiment that it was the assessor
come to make the assessment.
s'You got a pretty good looking
farm here" said the Easterner.
"Oh, it's nice enough looking, but
it's no good,'' said the farmer,
gruffly, as he went on with his
work.
"Do you want to selle" contin
ued the buyer. This question only
served to make the former sure the
stranger was the assessor. The
tack the visitor was on, now, was
to get at the price of the property;
he thought But the farmer de-
termined that he was too shrewd
to be caught by that sort of ruse.
'sOf course | want to sell; I've
been trying to sell this burned old
farm ever since I got it, but no.
body wants it. 1t overhows in the
winter, the soil amt more than six
inches deep, the dog fennel has
crowded out the grass and grain,
and can raise crop to save my
life. IF stay on the place year
or two longer, which I don't think
I will, and these burned assessors
and tax-collectors keep a-snoopin'
around and a-raisin taxes, me and
my hull family will hev to go
to the poor house. Why, man, if
/ wanted a farm, and was dyin' for
a farm, and this here one was the
last one to be had on earth, durn
me if I'd give six bits an acre for
it.''
By this time the new arrival
from Iowa was speechless. With
out further ado, he hurried off the
place without making his real
business known, thankful now that
he had escaped the purchase of SO
bad a piece of property. The farm
er is busy now, trying to keep the
real facts from his wife.

THAT DEMOCRATIC PRESS.

AA1 D1An oSAi<A - ~'N-A~~'
The republican press of Benton
charges that the democratic press
lof Benton tries to mis1ead the people.
For proof, the republican press
says that when Peter Richard ran
for sheriff of Benton, the 'demo-
cratic press" urged his election be
cause Mr.. Rickard was a farmer.
In the same campaign, to the
notorious and intense amuse-
ment of all Benton county,
this vastly virtuous republican press
so1emnly announced that the Hon.
George A. Waggoner was "a
farmer" In the present instance,
this selfsame republican press ayers,
to the widespread and thrilling
amazement of all, that the Hon.
Binger Hermann was not retired
from Office. that he is on the
sweetest terms of ~consouance with
the administration, etc, etc.
It is no wonder that the heavy
man of the republican press of Ben
ton solemn1y declared that DR..
Withycombe was wrong; and that
though she was indeed muley.
his cow did have the hollow horn.

land, with reference to the OBJ
jects and benefits of the Maccabee
order. After that the baskets were
auctioned off, a Tangent member
of the order appearing in the role
of auctioneer. There was lively
bidding for the baskets, hand

ers spread the contents of their
baskets, and all participated in

California was the name of a the
atrical performance presented at the
Opera house Tuesday evening. The
plot included the trials of an orphan
girl first in a mining camp and then
at boarding school with the foul
attempts Of william to secure her
hand and fortune. The cast pre-
sented an Irish character of attrac-
tive personality, a fine old miner
who was adopted father of the girl,
an exconvict who, after saving her
life and fortune turned out to be
the real father of the maiden, and
best of all Miss Rae Bronson as a
Spanish girl, deceived and forsaken
by the william, but terrible in her
revenge and noble in her aspira-
tions. The mixture made one of
the most pleasing and best presen-
ted dramas seen in Corvallis in -
long time.
