Newspapers being the product
and handiwork of human beings,
are likely to err and to make
blunders more or less serious in
character. No person was ever
known to live to anygreat age
without making mistakes, and to
expect a newspaper to be issued
every few days, week in and
week out for years without er
rors creeping in, is to expect the
impossible, v Sometimes these
errors are ludicrous and furnish
much amusement, but oftener
they get the editor into hot wa
ter and hurt the feelings of some
one whom there was not the
slightest desire to injure or be
little. . These mistakes are easily
explained and are taken as. a
matter of course in the busy life
of a printing office, but to the
uninitiated they sometimes take
on a very serious aspect and the
whole affair is condemned with
out a hearing. A little charity
and a careful investigation are
a certain panacea for all such
mistakes made.
tery. Mr. Gray was an old and
respected pioneer, having come
to Oaegon in 1861. He was a
native of Scotland and was aged
80 years and 28 days. The Thurs
day previous to his death he fell
and from that time on was par
tially paralyzed, death coming:
to his relief Tuesday night. Mr.
Gray went from Scotland to
Australia in 1850, and in 1860
he was married and went back
to his native land on a visit, re
turning to America in 1861 and
locating in California. He came
on to Oregon during the same
year, however, and purchased
the farm on which he has eve"r
since resided, three miles south
west of Philomath. The immed
iate survivors are the widow,
Mrs. Anna Gray, one son, A. M.
and a daughter, Miss Isabel,
who has been-a successful teach
er for many years.
