ver popular drama entitle 1 ' Pea, Nights in
a Bar Room," by home talrat, under the
auspices of the Good Templars of our sister
city. Corva'lis was repris :nte 1 by nearly
fifty of our young people who feel well paid
ior the trip. The play wis well rendered
-considering the disadvantage of asmalljstage
and might have done credit to a city of
even greater pretensions. Dr. Whitney, as
the traveler suUaiued his part well, while
-Joseph Bryan in the character of Joe M or
igan made a gau d "jnkird. E l Bryan, as
the Yankee, win well made up' and brought
the house down several ti.nea with his fun
aayiugs. Ed. ii.srs, A. B. N ivrfc u, Walter
Newton and I'nnk Liggett, all did well
and added much to the even ng's entert in

by Mrs. Whitney, Mrs. Harris, Miss Liggett
and Ella WWrucy. Ali in a " i en Nights

would draw a good audience again. To
Messrs. Bryan an 1 Jackson we are indebted

people of the Bay country made up by sub
scriptions enough to fully reimburse the un
fortunate lady's loss. The house was valued
at $800 and there being no insurance t-n the

roads almo3t impassible.

On last Wednesday Johnny Clancy and a
young man by the nam3 of John Jackson
got into a controversy on our streets, and
in the midst of the discussion Johnny called
young Jackson a liar. The accused didn't
agree with Johnny in this particular and
took exceptions to his statement, but re
membering that our city recorder would
charge him $13- to make Johnny take it
back, he invited him to step outside the
corporations. Johnny agreed and the two
started across Mary's river bridge followed
by a number of spectators, "nursing their
wrath to keep it warm." They soon ar
rived at a secluded spot and after a fe w
preliminaries, began painting each other
red. Johnny soon concluded he had too
big a contract on hand and threw the job
up not mure than half completed, thinking
perhaps he might have been mistaken in
his statement.

The painful duty devolves upon us to re
cord the seeming untimely death of Miss
Fraukey Smith, a life long resi lent of Ben
ton county, a t the time of her death
was residing on her mot'ier's farm i'l Lane
county. Her death was vejy sudden,
ansed by palpitation of the heart, this of
coulee is only the, effect of a remote cause.
We can orily in sorrow bow our heads iu

Since ou last, 'Mr. Asidey Honck has left
us for that 'better laud, though his death
was anticipated My a long spell of sickness.
Grandma Coyle is also failing, old age.
A sou of the widow Bowao mot with a
serious accident, having his collar bone
broken by a fall from a house. It was only
the effect of a boyish freak.
We confess a scarcity of news items, but
we would rather hand in a blank sheet than
the above facts. Data.
While in Ibany this week we visited the
new steam yacht, which has recently been
built by several of Albany's enterprising
young men. We were mtormed that as
soen as a few iui rovemants are made on the
little ste.aner she will probably make a
trip to our city, probably next Sunday. It
is expected that she will be able to make
two trips jt r day between this place and
Albany which if possible will prove a great
convenience to the traveling public.
Prof. C. J. Merrill, a teacher of both
vocal and instrumental music of much ex
perience, was iu the citv this week. Some
evening the first of next week he will be
pleased to meet the citizens of Coryallis
and explain his methods of teaching music,
and organize a class if the people so desire.
Announcement will be made or the time
when he will be here. A former acquain
tance with the Prof, warrants us iu sayiog
that if the citizens of Corvallis fail to take
advantage of this opportunity to improve
their vocal talent they gwill lose a golden
opportunity.

MR. HARRISON BOWES,
Of the firm of HilUard & Bowen. Mr.
Bowen is one of the first business men of
Monroe and has reriled cuntiuuously at
that place for over thirty years. About one

Cash versus Credit.
Knowing it to be for my best interests,
and believing it to be for the best interests
of my customers, I shall continue to sell for
cash only. The following are a few of my
reasons: First Taking no risks I can
afford to sell at a lower rate of profit.
Second I will not be at the expense of
keeping a book-keeper (sevxnty-five dollars
a month. ) Third 1 will not have to spend
a week out of every month trying to make
collections. Fourth I will have time to
give more attention to my business and
consequently give better satisfaction to my
custouiers, and finally I solicit only cash
trade. J. M. No-la.
