Died At Tualatin, Jnne 1, 1898, of
dropsy, Mrs. W. M. Day. Funpral and
interment took place Thursday after
noon at Stafford cemetery, under the
auspices of Winona grange. Forty
seven heavily loaded wagons and several
people on horseback followed the re

deceased leaves a husband and four chil
dren to mourn her early departure from
the three score and ten years allotted to
the race of man.
Miss Noble, teacher of the Frng Pond
school, and Mrs. Rinearson, teacher of
Stafford district, No. 41, combined
efforts and gave a splendid all-day pro
gram and a big dinner at the Stafford
school house on the 2d inBt., which was
well attended and showed the result of
much careful training by both. To do
justice in describing the day, space will
not permit, but to think of all the good,
honest enjoyment that can be had on
such an occasion and the genuine catis-
faction people receive in attending,
could not possibly outdo the day and its
pleasures. The county school superin
tendent was prepent and addressed the
schools with a few wcll-chofen remarks
long to be remembered.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the

five weeks ago rotted in the ground, and
