Agaix in Business. Ralston
Cox, who recently disposed of his
grocery establishment here, to en
gage in the real estate and insur
ance business, will open an office
in the new court house On Monday
next, and will at once engage in
the real estate, insurance and gen
eral brokerage business, Mr. Cox
during the four years as proprietor
of the "People's Grocery" estab
lished a reputation for energy,
p'isu and fair dealing, second to
none and is known in every sec
tion of the county as a "rustler,"
and persons having property to
dispose of will do vvell to place it
with him. Having established
correspondents at the leading cen
tres of emigration he anticipates
effecting speed sales of desirable
property placed with him. , Mr.
Cox represents some of the most
reliable insurance companies do
ing business in this state and any
losses made by the same will be
prompt ly met. The Gazette takes
pleasure in calling the attention
of the public to the above.

The "Cohvaujs College." -To
take a look through the building
of the Corvallis college which is a
part of the M. K. church, South,
one will notice that a great change
has been made in its interior.
Going into the first door on the
left you enter a hall which runs to
the center of the room and then
lovn its whole length; on one side
. of this is the sitttng room, library
and bedrooms, at the endbeing a
large dining room and kitchen.
It will be seen that this will be
used as a boarding hall for those
who are desirous of attending
from cities and towns abroad.
The boarding part of the institu
tion will be conducted by a re
sponsible party and the charges
will be very reasonable. Rev. D.
Atkins is at the head of the list ol
teachers,' and the name of Miss
.Nettie Spencer, of Corvallis, also
appears It is expected that the
attendance will be consideiably
larger than it was last year, and it
is hoped that such will be the case.
Course ou Lectures. A course
of live lectures is to be given in
the Congregational clmrch during
1 lie coming winter, the proceeds of
which are to be used in making
additions to the church building.
The lecturers will be those of the
most noted in Oregon. Each
lecture will be preceded by some
choice vocal and instrumental
music, and the "season" ticket will
be :f I- From what has been
learned concerning these enter
tainments there is no doubt that
they will be very interesting and
instructive. More will be said
concerning them in the future.
Struck Coal. Mr. Ludwig, the
very mail who bored W. S. Ladd's
famous 1800 feet artesian well has
been in Albany and left some sam
ples of coal .which he struck on the
farm of Mr. Prettyman, across the
river in Benton county. While
boring for experiment he struck an
eight inch seam of fine coal, and
believes that by going down a
sufficient distance large seams of
valuable coal may be reached. It
is to be hoped that this will be
' done. Democrat, 27th.
Axotheb House. A new resi
dence is being erected on Fourth
sireet just south of the opera
house on the lot owned by Rev. J.
L. Ilershner, and when finished
will be occupied by C. L. Kobert-
son, the jeweler. Mr. Hershner is
the owner ol the three lots situat
ed there and intends to have resi-.
deuces on all of them to rent.
At present houses are in very
great demand here.

moter of friendliness between the

and do many other kind things that
they wouldn't think of doing at any
