In spite of an almost continu-ri- s -rain Pridav forenoon great iSUSS. oi jcrowd, o. roewe.e lined up TOTTiessp Pioneers ' but in olden times the name of Tnomas anarpe Spencer was connected with many tales of Tennessee adventure. He was a man of extraordinary size, re ..u).i Wnd nnd e-entle hearted. He went to Cumberland county in 1776 in company with jonn nam day to explore and hunt in the un known forests. - " Halliday decided not to stay, and Spencer went with him as far as the Jborder of Kentucky to put him safely so far on his way home, lvina and thoughtful to the last, the big man with the big heart broke in two pieces his long hunting knife and gave half of it to Halliday, who had unfortunately lost his own.

This is a conclusion need ing no argument to convince any intelligent man.

To clean up the premises, make a lawn, put out and train flowers; build concrete walks ana keep everything in the best pos- siDle snape means sometning both in labor and expense. But it is a matter of pride with the individual and he feels re- naid for his trouble bv the beaut- . iful lawn, flowers and ornament al trees and shrubs that respond so quickly to his labor, and the result is a benefit to the entire city, because attractive premises mate an attractive town, ana an attractive town brings home seekers and home-buyers. But it is discouraging to spena money and labor on a place only to have the neighbors on either side or all about neglect their yards and join their rickety old sidewalks onto one s new con crete walk. It is an outrage to one's sense of the beautiful; it destroys the harmony and one feels that the effort put forth in beautifying the place is half lost because of the neighbor's neg lect. The effect is marred by the unsightly yards and walks round about, and the fact is very discouraging to tne progressive citizen. If all would pull together for a cleaner, prettier town, for more beautiful lawns, better fences v. and better walks, what changes would be wrought! It is the onlv wav to eet results ouickly, certainly and with only moderate.,;. expense. Mucn complaint is heard because tne "city does not do this or that in the way of improvements, but let us ask, who is the city? You are a part of it and your neighbor it a part. Every resident is a part ana must do his share it anything great is to be done. Let no one detract irom tne beauty of his neighbor's home by neglecting tne property au joining.

Pesiding in the country as he does he is more familiar: with the needs of the rural dis-. tricts than would be the case. were he a resident of Corvallis,. thus making . up the county court entirely of town residents. His opponent on the democratic ticket resides in Corvallis and his election would mean a coun ty court made up wholly of Cor vallis citizens. this condition r it. is said, would not meet with general approval in the country. Instead of getting a Full Ton, as many oi them desired, the republicans got a big Cake m the senatorial fight. The demo crats, being unanimous, were ail in their Chamber lain, but de clare on the first of June they will rise up and eat the republi can Cake bodily. The Full ton now falls upon them but wheth er its -mighty force can squash the proceedings and save the Cake remains to be seen. Rural Spirit. . .
