GONE HOME.
A Benton County Mother Fun
eral at Monroe of Mrs. McGuin.
Mrs. Malissa McGuin was born
in Canada, April 17, 1829, and
died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. I. F. Houston, near Monroe,
Oregon, June 12, 1906.
Early in life she removed to
Kansas, then a frontier state,
aad with her husband took up
land and began to build tor them-
but very soon her
work, and will give her junior
recital early next autumn.
The chorus, which has been
so favorably received by Corval
lis audiences on many occasions
in the past year, is to do even
better next year, taking advanced
work oi a high order, for which
new books are soon to be provid
ed. " " s

with four small children a
stranger in a strange land.
Only those passing through
similar experiences, can in any
degree appreciate the long and
difficult strucele through which
she passed to maintain and edu
cate her children.
But she was a brave woman
and worked hard and planned
well, and in time was permitted
to see her children receiving the
best educational advantages..
Not only this, but she moulded
them into characters able to
withstand the storms and tempta
tions of life and lived to see them
all grow to usetul, noble man
hood and womanhood. She also
accumulated property sufficient
to give to each of them a good
home.
During the last eight years of
her life she was almost a helpless
invalid: her children with hands
that never tired, beautifully, ten
deriv ministered to the mother
who had so bravely battled for
them.

the floral offering was superb
At the cemetery flowers were

Thus we left her in kinder,

bright hope of meeting her

A meeting of Corvallis busi
ness men held at the city hall
Tuesday evening had asits 'ob-
ect the discussion of the organi
zation of a commercial and social
club for Corvallis, such as are
found in every other town of any
ize in the Valiey.
', That such a club would be of
great benefit and pleasure to
ocal business men is certain,
since they are not prepared to
entertain their friends nor keep
"open house" on occasions of
social importance, as . do ; their
Iwlthren in neighboring towns,
and a good, live club, with suit
able rooms and modern equip
ments and furnishings would
enable them to extend certain
courtesies and hospitality other
wise impossible, to say nothing
of the pleasure to be derived at
home from the lendezvous.
The possibility of such a place
where a member might seek
safety in times of domestic tur
moil, and escape from the annual
bousecleaning, shou'd recom
mend it to every thoughtful busi
ness man of the city, and doubt-
ess wiil.
At Tuesday night's meeting a
committee was appointed to de
velop plans, discuss measures and
'sound" local business and pro
fessional men on the subject of
organizing such a ciud. i.ne
committee consists of B. W.
Johnson, J. F. Yates, Virgil E.
Watters and E. E. Wilson, and
they will report progress next
Tuesday night. t , ;
