vim has met with decided success in
this line of business since locating
in Corvallis and has made many
friends whose patronage will be ex-
tended even more literally, no
doubt, in the new quar.ers where
Mr.. Marvin will have better accom-
mediation for all, including himself
w. T. and c. g. Small are put to
great Inconvenience by the force Of
circumstances, and will be obliged
for a time to store their goods in
the 10 1m belonging to them which
Mr.. Marvin is to vacate. The build
ing of the Small brick, however,
will settle all questions of moving in
the future.
If parents, especially the moth
ers, could be made to realize the
danger in allowing their little sons
and daughters to play about the
streets, on Main streetin particular,
it would be great blessing to
merchants and tradespeople gener-
ally, to say nothing of the good to
result to the child itself. School
children should be compelled to go
direct home after school hours,
unless they have business up town.
For them to idle about Main street,
enter stores and shops, handle all
sorts OF goods lying about, stand in
the way of busy customers and
block the way for hurryiag CLERKS
are annoyances for which mothers
are responsible aud of which there
sholld be an end. If a child takes
to petty thieving or other bad hab-
ts, the mosher has no one to blame
but herself, for a small child roam
ng the streets is certain to bee ONE
more or less a street arab an to
acquire habits of speech and man
aer the effect of which may never
be erased from its nature.
