Abott At Advancee Age 7 Was Spiritualist. Wm. H. Abbott was born at Homer, Courtland, Co., N. Y., Sept. 12, 1822, and died at Cor vallis, Ore., Jan, 26, 1907, be ing 84 vears, 4 months and 14 days old. He was the oldest child in a family of four sons and one daughter and is the last one to respond to the messenger 01 death. His father becoming an invalid and he being the eld.st son, the support of the family fell upon him early in youth, but by: great perseverence, an undomita-s ble will and the use of midnight oil, he acqui.ed an education that enabled him to teach school, which profession be followed for a number of years. He was mar ried in 1849 to Susan A., Dun ham of Pompey Hill, N. Y., who preceded him to the great beyond 23 years ago. The fruits of their union were two sons and three daughters. one son and two daughters of whom survive him. Always having been a great read er of the best literature, he ac quired a fund of knowledge that was far in excess of that of the average man in his walk of life. Although raised by religious parents, he was not a believer in the Christian religion because its teachings concerning future re wards and punishments were not in accordance with his conception of Divine justice. He has been a firm believer in spiritualism for about 50 years. Knowing that hisjourney in earth lue was drawing- near, the writer1: hereof said"tr-bim while he was still in possession of all his mental fac ulties, ''Father you realize that your time here with us is very short. I want to ask you if your belief in the future life is still as arm as ever. L)o you hae no fear of death?" He answered in a firm and earnest tone "My son, why should I fear death? Know ing as l do what awaits me as soon as my spirit is freed from the body. It is net a matter of belief or mere faith with me, but a knowledge that has been tiem enstrated to me time and again Don't give me any more medi cine just to prolong my suffering. I am ready to go and am anxious to be freed from pain." Contr buted. Suggestion lor Farners. In these days of rural routes and free delivery of mail, every one should name their farm or home where they live, so that there would be some distinctive feature about it that would make it a different place from others. wisely declares an exchange, and it is right Get out of the old rut that "a'l farms look alike to me." and take a stand for yourself. Make the home something more than an abiding place, so that when the stranger passes that way he will have something by which he may distinguish your home .ram that of Mr. Blank's across the road. He will forget your name but 1 if your home fcas a name pleasing to him he will remember it a long time. After you have named the farm then get you some stationery printed with the name of the farm at the head and you will find that there is an in- aiviauamy aoout it tuat you have never dreamed of and thai you would not part with for worlds. Think what a difference there would be between callin your home Cedarwild, Wood mere, The Firs, or whatevei name you should decide on than calling it Jones' ranch tsrowns' place or Blank's tarnr Don't you think you would take greater pride in your home, even if you only had a small patch ct ground back on the hills, if you were speaking to a stranger and could tell of 'your -home, 'Tbe Ferns" than if your-were, to tell them of yoot? littfetbirnsh patch back qn the hill? rt The English people nearly all have their opines riamed and they are the sjreatesfhoaie lovers of all peo ple.

Bell will annonnce from the First Presbyterian pulpit next Sun- day whether or not be will -accept a unanimous call extended him by the con giegation last Sunday evening. The call was unexpected to him, and it is evident that at least one year of his work will have to be modified in order to enable him to accept at all. For forty years he has been constantly busy with pnlpit and pen advancing matters religious and educational, and a conference probably with Mrs. Bell will determine whether or not he will assume pastoral duties at all, in Corvallis or elsewhere. Under the eaves of the Oregon Agri cultural College it is imperative that there should bs provided for all the churches the best pulpiteers in Oregon. If measured by the growth of his con giegation throughout a career of four decades, the selection of Mr. Bell can be no mistake. Whether or not ha will accept the call remains to be seen, but one thing is cer tain; he will preach next Sunday morn ing and evening at the Presbyterian church. For Hunters.

Crosno of Toledo pissed through Corvallis the first of the week tor his home after a two weeks' stay in the vicinity of Sea side where he was occupied in searching for the body of his son, Abe Crosno, who disappeared rather suddenly. Mr. Crosno has had a searching party out ever since natrolling the beach near Seaside, and hu nting; through the brush in that vicinity, but says tnat no trace ot any kind was obtained. Mr. Crosno says that the report which was circu lated that his son was seen in toxicated shortly before his dis appearance has been found to be untrue. The missing man was just recovering from a severe at-1 weakened by the illness Mr. Crosno thinks he might have wandered of! into the woods and become lost, finally perishing from the cold weather which was then prevailing. Another theory is that Crosno was drowned. Mr. Cronso will return to Seaside in a few days and resume the search for his son's body. Oak Grove Nates.

The past three weeks of winter weather has beeh pretty h--.rd m stock and especially range stock which had no shelter only wlm hey could rustle for themselves Sheep fared reasonably well and not much feeding has been re quired only where there were young- lambs and in such cases the mothers were fed add cared for better than the rest of the flock and most of the lambs were saved. Farmers generally have plenty of feed to carry their stock through the winter in very good shape. There seems to be an unusual demand for go id horses and the supply seems to be short. x Buy ers almost every day are scouring the country in search of horses and are willing to pay almost any price if they can secure what they want in the horse line. In His Memory. Fred S. Tomlison, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Tomlinson ot Northern Benton, died at his. home in Albany Jan. 27th 1907, at 6 o'clock a. m., after . a six weeks' illness with typhoid fever. The funeral occurred from the -Baptist church in Albany Mon day afternoon at 1 130, Rev. F. A. Douglas conducting the ser vices. Services at the grave were conducted by the K. of P. lodge and interment was in the city cemetery. The floral pieces were- exceedingly -: beautiful . They were from the K. of P. and United Artisan lodges of which ' deceased was a member. Fred Tomlison was a fine specimen of young manhood and was a native son of Benton coun ty. He was born on the farm near Wells May 28, 1875. Here grew to manhood and was popular with all who knew him. He was married to Miss Emma Hecker of Wells, in St. Francis church, Portland, December 27, 'i 1901. After spending a few months in Portland the young couple returned to Albany where ' they have since made their home. During his illness Mr. Tomli son suffered great agony and dur ing the last days was delirious most of the time. I a conscious moments he recognized those at the bedside, and the evening be fore his passing he called his wife to his side and sang f ebly, 'Joy Cometh in the Morning,' aud repeated his childhood pray er, learned at his mother's knee, "Now I lay me down to sleep." And in the morning joy had come to Fred S Tomlison, and earth with all its pain and sorrow had faded away forever. The immediate survivors are the widow, the father and moth er, and three brothers, James and Will, ot Linn county, and Clyde Tomlison who resides with his parents near Wells. A Friend.
