The Century club has tried various
plans this season to secure a fair and
equitable distribution of the seats
among tn ticket holders to its enter
tainment 'urse and so far no plan has
proved ,i factory to the public. We
suggest that the auction plan for choice
of seats for the whole course b. tried
next year. In other places, the size of
Middlebury, this plan has been found to
be the most popular. Tickets are sold
for the course the same as here, at AN
average price, in different towns of
81 30. Notice is given, after a sufficient
number of tickets have been sold to guar
antee the course, that an auction for choice
of seats will be held at the town hail.
The highest bidder marks off as many
seats as he plea>es, paying the premium
| bid. whether it be 80 cents or more for
each seat so taken. Then the auctioneer
calls for bids for second choice. and so
on until no more bids are made. The
remaining seats are then marked off to
| tlcket-hOders. Seats are marked in all
cases for the entire course, and a ticket
holder knows where he will sit during
the whole course, and is not obliged
before each entertainment to enter into
a scrabe for seats. Last Wednesday
morning. with the thermometer close to
zero over GO persons stood for over half
an hour. in line outside Stern's store
waiting to get their seats marked off,
and there was much kicking among
ticket-holders. especially among business
men and ladies. This would all be
avoided by the auction plan, and money
enough received from those who We're
willing to pay "a premium for choice to
pay for an extra entertainment. There
are always plenty of good seats left for
those who do not wish or do not feel
able to pay a premium.

Two Old

We had the pleasure Tuesday morn
ing of meeting in our city two repre-
sentative citizens of old Itawamba
county before it was divided into Lee
county. These gentlemen were our
venerable friends. Mr.. Pleasant Gates,
who is now ninety four years old aud
Judge Newman Cayce, who is some
what younger. When we met these
old friends they were grouped in a
crowd all by themselves and were
talking of the good times they used to
have at Fulton when Davy Johnson
was Clerk of the Court over there. Mr..
Gates is still hale and hearty ana is
enjoying the fruits of a long life oil
industry and thrift. Judge Cayce is yet
in the vigor OF manhood and has a
lucrative law practice at his home in
our classic n~eighbor city, Columbus.
| They are fine representatives of the
manhood of the free state while it
was in its pristine glory and reared
such men as Buck Owen and Billy
| Keyes and Russ Beene, who belonged
to a class that seems to have gone
into retiracy with the close of the
war. They don't make many such
men now and we are sorry for it.. We
enjoyed meeting III true aud tried
old veteran friends and trust that time
may bring to us this pleasure for many
| years to come.

rrs. Matte Lou Roberts.

Mrs. Matte Lou Roberts was the
daughter of DR.. w, o. and Mrs. M. A
| Feemster. She was born in Lee county,
Miss, March, Bird, 1875 and died May,
25th, 1904 at her fathers home in Net
Teton, Miss. At the age OF fourteen she
connected herself with the Cumberland
PRESBYTERIAN c~hurch-the church OF her
fathers.
On the Both, of March, 1898 she was
married to Mr.. Chas. A. Roberts. Soon
afterwards, her health failing, she tray
eled with her husband and for some
time resided in Texas; but finding no
improvement in her condition, she came
home to die in the place of her birth
and amid the scenes OF her youth.
She had always been a lovable. self.
aJnegating, patient, cheerful christian.
and adorned the profession which she
SO steadfastly maintained. The bright
smile that graced her features in her
DAYS OF beauteous health, never faded
away, even in her dying moments:
and lay. like a heavenly benediction
on her face, as she rested in her pure
white casket: she took it along into the
land of the blest, and with it greeted
her precious Savior in the mansions
of glory. OF course she will be missed:
missed by her parents, by her brothers
and by her sisters and especially by
her devoted and faithful husband: but
there comes sweet comfort to us all, in
the Thought, that ''she is not dead,
but sleepeth.'
Rarely. if ever, was such a gathering
at the old Providence church, as when
we met to paw our last loving re-
spects, and where she sleeps besides
Others bf her home. We cannot re-
frain from adding the beautiful words
OF another:
'Sister thou vast mild and lovely,
Gentle as the summer breeze,
Pleasant as the air Of evening,
When it floats among the trees.
Dearest sister thou hast left us,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But tits God that hast bereft US
lie con all our sorrows heal.

OYSTERS
PLANTED
Effort Will Be Made to Grow
Them Successfully at
Yaquina Bay

Master Fish Warden Van Dusen,
j. ID. Wilcox, president of the Yaquina
Bay Oyster Company, and Prof.
sweetser state biologist of Eugene,
came in Saturday, says the Toledo
| Reporter to look after the oyster in
terests of this place. On Sunday
Captain Linten with his launch took
these gentlemen, accompanied by M.
M. Davis and william Toner, to Oyster
City for the purpose of investigating
the cause as to why the Eastern
oysters don't propagate in the waters
OF Yaquina bay. 1t was decided that
the water is to cold for the spawn to
mature. Eastern oysters we're planted
at Winant by the state some three
years ago, but owing to the coldness
of the water at that place the spawn
has never matured, so the company
has concluded to take up some OF
these oysters and transplant them on
the flats south of Caffrey's Island
where the water Is much warmer. by
being exposed to the sun while the
tide is ebbing and flowing over the
flats. When subjected to these con-
ditions 1t is thought by Prof. Sweeter
that the Eastern oyster would propo-
gate here as we'll as elsewhere. At
any rate the experiment will be tried.
The Yaquina Bay Oyster Company
is looking after the matter and this
is guarantee that it will be attended
to. The company is strong-madel
up of some of the wealthy men of
Portland. This section of the coun-
try is represented as stock holders in
the company by M. M Davis and VIM.
Toner. The principal office of the
company will be in Portland. In about
one week a car load of Eastern oysters
(150 barrels) will be brought in and
planted on the extensive mud flats
west of Yaquina City. This point was
selected by an experienced oysterman
connected with the propagation of the

+ The time-worn injunction, "Never
put of till tomorrow what you can
do today" is now generally present
ed in this form: do 1t today!" That
is the terse advise we want to give
you. about that hacking cough or de
moralizing cold with which you have
been struggling for several days, per.
haPs weeks. Take some reliable RENE
dy for 1t ToDAY-and let that remedy
be DIR. Boschee's German Syrup, which
has been in use for over thirty-fve
years. A few doses of 1t will undoubt
edly relieve your cough or cold, and
its continued use for a few days will
cure you completely. No matter how
deep-seated your cough, even IL dread
consumption has attacked your lungs,
German Syrup will surely effect
cure-as 1t has done before in thou.
