Little Margaret Cathey, who has been in a Portland hospital for the past two weeks with an ailment of the throat, is getting along nicely and it is thought she will soon be in her usual good health. Mrs. Ocil Cahey, the mother, is at the' bedside. Farmers are all staying at home these days attending to their farm work, and as a consequence the streets of Corvallis are almost de serted and there is little or nothing happening. The farmer is not only the bone and sinew of the great farming regions of a country, but he is likewise the life and bustle of the city and town streets. At a meeting of the OAC student body in chapel Wednesday morn ing two rooters' clubs were organ ized to be on hand at the game here tomorrow afternoon. Mies Belle Bonney was elected captain of the girls' club of rooters, and Carl Steb binger i captain of the boys' club. It is probable there will be plenty of enthusiasm from these two ag gregations during the contest. Joseph Yates brought to Cor vallis this week some samples of Yellow Dent corn which was raised on a farm adjoining that of Mr. Yates' m Linn county, a few miles east of this city. The corn is a first-class article of its kind and is hard to beat. On one-half acre there grew 25 two-bushel sacks of the corn. Admitting that the sacks actually contained but 1 1-2 bush els j each this would mean easi ly 75 bushels to the acre. This showing is certainly good enough to convince anyone, however skep tical, that Oregon wiil grow any thing. Samples of the corn may be seen at this office. Rev. David Henry Allen Lambosa Swackhanner, Jr., cosmopolitan, un cultured and, colored, ia in the city, says the Herald. Rsv. Swackhan stated that he was a native of Porto Rico, and that he had also traveled extensively in Europe, Asia and Africa. During conversation he apoligized f ar not wearing a white collar, explaining that he had left the missing article in Seattle to ba laundered, and having depaited rather suddenly, omitted to bring it along. A volume of letters from persons in various parts of the United States testifies to Rev. Swackhanner's ability as. a lecturer. 'The Uuse of Soap,' is not the title of any of his lectures, as R9V, Swackhanner prefers to talk on sub. jects of which he has a more inti mate acquaintance."

V " Mrs. Faulkner was hostess at very pleasant hallowe'en party J uesay evening, at her home o 1 college hill.. About 20 euests en joyed the occasion, and games, music and. refreshments were feat ures of entertainment. ' There is a case in the western part rf town of a family in desti tute circumstances, and with winter at htnd and the mother unable to provide for her little ones the case is indeed pathetic. In the past Cor vallis .people, charitaoly inclined, assisted the family but the charity all came at once, like a tidal wave, and receding left the objects thereof apparently more helpless than be fore. It seems certain that the kind-hearted ones of the town who have anything to give will be called upon to assist in the -care of these helpless children, and the mother as well, while the authorities will doubtless see to it that some pro vision is made br keeping the fam ily from absolute want. i Hallowe'en Wedding. Ono rif tha prettiest weddings of the season was that of Vanes Alexander Taylor and Miss Etta Agnes Smith which occurred at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Janet Smith, Wednesday evening. At eight o'clock, to the strains of a wedding march played by Misa Cora Newton, Rev. M. S. Bush entered the parlor followed by the bridal pair accom panied by Mies Mary Sutherland as bride's maid and James A. Wheeler as best man. In the very brief new cere mony of the Presbyterian chnrch the happy couple were made man and wife, after which congratulations were extend ed by the sixty guests present;- The btide was very pretty in'an elegant costume of white net over white silk, and carried a bouquet of clematis and dainty white blossoms. Miss Sutherland was equally "harming, gowned in white net over yellow silk. The rooms were made beautiful with a profusion of ivy and chrysanthemums tastily arranged. A daintv two-course luncheon was served, and at a late hour the guests de parted and Mr. and Mrs. Taylor returned to Corvallis to tbegroom's home, where they are now housekeeping. Both are popular and respected young people and they have the good wishes of all. Oregon Pioneer Buried.
