HE IS DEAD.
W. H. 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. L?t us all who have homes
name them.

Will Announce His Decision.
Rev. J. B. N. 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.

No Trace Found.
C B. 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.

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

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.
