The Passing ot Mrs. John M
Simpson at Corvallis.
Mrs. John W. Simpson died at
the family home on Sixth and Tyler
etreeta at 11:20 o'clock, Sunday fore
noon, after a few weeks' illness and
the funeral will be held this, Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock from the resi

Martha Prather was born January
16, 1852, near Buena Vista. She was
the daughter . of William B. and
Barbara Prather, early settlers and
highly respected residents of that
flection. She erew to young woman
hood in Polk county and was united
in marriage to John W. Simpson in
that city -in 1370. Mr. and Mrs.
Simpson have spent all their .married
life in Polk, ', Lincoln and -Benton
counties, having come to Corvallis
about fifteen years ago,, since which
time they have lived quietly and
peacefully, an ideal home life, in that
city. .
Deceased was a woman of fine
character, having a universal love
for humanity and a charity that was
freelv extended to all of God's
creatures, no matter how humble or
lowly. This charitable and loving dis
position, coupled with cordiality and
cheerfulness made Mrs. Simpson
friends wherever she went, and
those who knew her best loved her
most deeply. Hers was a religion of
self-sacrifice and good cheer; she
spoke no evil and her mind and life
Tx-prp niirfi and above reproach. Her
passing is mourned by a, wide circle
of friends, while to the family the
loss is too great almost to be borne,
although they have, the comfort of
knowing that she is at peace and that
pain and distress can never reach her
more.
The immediate family consists of
the grief stricken husband, John W.
Simpson, and one son, Gene M.
Simpson, his wife and son. the
brothers of deceased are James and
Newton Prather of Buena Vista, and
Mark Prather of eastern Oregon; the
sisters Mrs. Jane Hill of Portland,
and Mrs. Lizzie Hart of eastern Ore
gon. The parents of deceased were the
first couple ever married in Benton
county -Corvallis Gazette.

maiKVES IN QUALITY
When a customer has once
been convinced that it jmya to
buy quality, lie will seldom seek
store that caters merely to
tboe who wish to buy thegrcat-
st quantity for the money.
There are communities where
quality arguments would have
no weight, but there are many
more that can be convinced that
quality pays ii the right argu
ments are used.
Quality arguments are some
times slow ' trade builders, but
they build exceeding strong.
Uargaiu Goods are only a
bargain to those who have not
the money with which to buy
the best; but there is generally
ii hole in the bargain.
If vou simplv want bargain
goods, pay the cheap price and
get them. If you want abso
lutely the best, the kinds that
bring you back, pay more and
get more.
Quality has been behind every
business that has built up a solid
reputation.
I believe in Quality and guar
antee the quality of all my goods
to those who wish the best.
