Nolan's Red Tag Sale.
Albany Gets New High School.
J. M. Nolan & Son are making
great preparations for their an
nual Ked Tag Sale,, which will
begin Saturday, January 2, and
continue for twenty days. These
annual stock cleaning events
have come to be a feature in the
business history of this well
known firm and the 1909 anni
versary will be an even bigger
bargain sensation than last year,
which was a record breaker. The
purchasing public will doubtless
take every advantage of the
coming sale, the red tags show
ing plainly the cut prices that
will prevail so that customers
will know exactly what they
have to pay and the bargains
they will get. Nolan & Son al
ways personally conduct their
own sales and make good every
promise presented to their many
patrons.
See A. L. Miner for wall paper.
A new $70,000 high school
building in Albany next year is
assured by the 'action taken at
the annual school meeting held
Thursday evening. At the meet
ing sentiment was practically
unanimous for this improve
ment. . The schools are now so
crowded that one room is con
ducted in the Congregational
church building. The erection
of the high school building next
Spring will provide more public
school room and relieve the con
gestion now existing. A levy of
2 mills was made to provide
running expenses for the com
ing year and an additional levy
of 2 mills was made to buy a
site for the proposed new build
ing.
George Bryant who has been
very sick with pneumonia is

will return to Corvallis ' to make
their home.
This wedding and courtship
has an interesting tinge of ro
mance connected with, it the fire
of love being enkindled on the
Iowaprairies and, notwithstand
ing the bleak and chilly winds
that blew, the vital spot had been
reached and the flame continued
to burn until the happy culmi
nation on Christmas day. Many
a fair haired maiden has earestly
longed to divert his attention
but all in vain and nearly every
Saturday evening Skelly could
be seen going Shedward.
Mr. Skellerud has been clerk
ing at the store of F. L. Miller
for the past two years having
charge of the dry goods depart
ment and has proved himself
worthv of all confidence and
friendship. Bv his genial dis
position he has drawn around
him a host of friends who, will
be pleased to learn that hence
forth his footsteps will be care
fully guarded. The lady has
been teaching near Shedd and is
held in high esteem by "those
who have the pleasure of her ac
quaintance. We gladly welcome
them as citizens of Corvallis.
