Mrs. Nellie Owen-Noah.
PUDU.-IIKD BY KF.QUEST.
We take the following from the Towns
end, M. T., Tranchant, of date of Juue 11,
IS5J1
Never in all our journalistic experience
have we been called upon to execute such a
sad task as is placed before us this week in
recording tho death of Mrs. Georgo Noah,
which occurred at about half-past 2 o'clock
last Thursday afternoon. Not only was she
one whom we were proud to number among
ourpersoual friends,, but she was a lady
whose place could scarcely be filled iu any
society. Although the discaso which carried
her off was of long standing still very few
dreamed for a moment that it would have a
fatal termination, and to the entire com
inunity the news of her illness and death
came 'iko a sudden blow. It was only Mon
day evening when she was on the street iu
apparent health. She was taken nowit on
Tuesday evening, and retained hor mind and
cheerful temper until Thursday morning,
wheu she bream unconscious ami from that
time until death never recognized the lovirg
husband and triouda who bent constantly
over her with anxious hearts and faithful
ministering hands. As soon as it became
evident that she must die her father, II U
Owen, of Eugene City, Oregon, was tele
graphed to, but before an answer was re.
ceived sho was dead. The sad news was at
once telegraphed, and an answer returned to
take her remains home. The body was put
ia a handsome metallic coffin and carried to
the depot on Friday evening, followed by
almost the eutire population of the town,
So well beloved had she been in life that we
believe there was not single lady in the
town who was well enough that did not fol
low the casket to the train. It was put on
the express car and her husband proceeded
with his sad charge to Portland. He reached
there Sunday morning, where her father mot
him. From Portland to Eugene City the
remains were taken on a special train, and
all that was mortal of Nellie Noah was laid
away to its last resting place on Mouday.
Of the character and lovely qualities of
the deceased, how can we write and do them
justice. Never have we known a lady who
was so universally loved ts she. One look
at the sweet face and the beholder instinct
ively recognized the pure soul and gentle
heart that it was a reflex of, and acquaint
ance only deepened the admiration for the high
type of womanhood which was personified in
her. Long years frem now those who knew
her will speak in tones of heartfelt sorrow
of her early taking away, and hor memory
will uever die with a great many.
The "Jolly Crew" society held a meeting
last Tuesday evening, and passed the fol
lowing resolutions of sorrow and respect:
Whereas, Almighty God, in His wonder
ful and mysterious dispensations, has been
pleased to remove from our midst Mrs.
George Noah, and
HKiiEAS, Such removal is hut the com
mon fate which must needs be shared in by
all the species which inhabit the globe,
which should fully impress the living gen
eration that sooner or later each and all
shall, like unto her, be called by the same
mysterious Providence to thoir last and eter
nal sleep: therefore, be it
icesolveil, that in the death of Mrs. .Noah
he members of the Jolly Crsw, of which
she was one of their member, profoundly
feel the sad bereavement which they are
called upon to mourn, feel that in her death
they have lost one of their most gifted and
valued members, a also have the society
and community iu which she lived; aud be
it further
Resolved, That while we sadly regret that
her remains were not permitted to repose
beneath the sod of this valley, near her
adopted home, that atlectionate friends might
visit with tender emotion her sacred grave.
i ct the memory of her sweet and gentle
nature, her tried and honest friendship, and
the melody of her gifted and unrivalled
voice have left their impress, and that we
shall ever cherish her memory with the holi
est and tendorest affections.
T. N. AVEKILL, President,
Wm. Wood, Secretary.
The sweet voice which charmed us is silent
on earth, but only to be sweeter still in that
heavenly choir which she has gone to join
The Lord gave and the lord taketh away,
and while sorrowing friends bow to the de
cree, their heartfelt sympathy eoes out to
the bereaved husband who idolized her, and
who is thus called upon to give up all that
made life dear to hm.
OlJrt Vihitoiw. Salem Statesman: "The
following synopsis of the trip of tho visiting
Iowa editors to Southern Oregon is furnished
by a citizen who took the trip along with thore
people: At every depot along the entire route
the citizens had gathered and welcomed the
visitors with speeches, music and flowers, if
the train halted; if not, then by shouts and
the waving of hats and handkerchiefs. At
Eugene there was a halt of thirty minutes,
during which time several speeches were made
and the excellent hand of that city rendered
some of their best selections of music. So in
fatuated were some of the young men of the
excursion party with the young ladies of Eu
gene that they failed to hear the warning
whistle, and only realized their condition when
they saw the rear end of the departing train."
Complimentary. We take the following
complimentary notice from last week's Dallas

turn to Salem to practice his profission in con-
inction with Dr II It Holme. Tis very un
fortunate for us to lose such a worthy phy
siuan, one who is rapidly gaining in public
favor and by strict integrity of purpose and
action gaining the respect and confidence ot
all. Hut as we must lose him, we most heart
ily congratulate Sulem upon the acquisition.

says of the chinch bug: "It is an insect which
sometimes does immense damage to what and
other crops iu the western portion of the
United States. The female lays her eggs on
the ground, anil there are often two swarms of
bugs in a single year, one in June and one in
Autumn. Tho chinch bug is from a seventh
to a lifth of an inch in length; the wing covers
are black, with three or four whito dashes,
sometimes wanting; the body is usually black,
though the unwinued young are first red, with
a white band on the back,"

A State Fair on Wheels.
The State Board of Immigration for Oregon
have adopted a new plan in the way of adver
tising. They propose to fit up a car and load
it with Oregon products and send a man with
it who will take the car to the different county'
fairs throughout Ohio. Indiana and other in
dustrious States and thus show the practical,
farmer what Oregon can produce. It Is quit
true that for advertising among practical (ar
mors a head of wheat it batter than a book,
and it is hoped the action of the State board,
will Interest practical anil desirable men in
Oregon. The car as fitted up will be a minis,-,
ture State fair on wheels, and as the different
railroads have signified their willingness to'
transport the car troo of charge, it is thought,
the Ixist way to advertise Oregon. The State
board has issued a circular letter asking for ,
prod nets to fill tho car, and they expect to.
havo it on the way East soon. The Commit;
sinner for Oregon, Mr. Allen, who has just re-,
turned from iNew Orleans, informs me that
Oregon took six first premiums on wheat, of
which George Belsh.vw got three and M. Wil
kins one, giving Lane county four out of the
six. Sweeatnkes were recommended for Mr.
lielshaw's exhibit, but the committee would
not allow any swoepstakes awards.
Every article offered for exhibition on thsj,
car coutemp'ated will be labeled with the.
name of the thing, the owner, and the county,
producing it, so that every county and every
person will get full credit for the articles ex-,
hihited. Commissioner Allen will return to
New Orleans at the reopening of the exposition .
this fall, having been tendered a directorship
on its management Parties having articles,
for exhibition on this car can leave them at my .
olllcoand I will ship them without further'
cost lKO. M. MlLUtu.
