"NOTED WOMAN VISITS SIDNEY".-- Last Saturday morning Mrs. Eva Emery Dye came to Sidney to renew old acquaintances and meet her old friends. It is seldom, if ever, that our little city has been honored by a visit from so distinguished a person. It will be remembered that Mrs. Dye formerly lived in this place, and perhaps is the most eniment person who ever made her home in our midst. She is the wife of Charles H. Dye, who was at one time superintendent of high school and under whose direction the first class was graduated; Mrs. Dye was his assistant. Mr. and Mrs. Dye now live in Oregon City, Ore. Mr. Dye, her husband, is a successful lawyer of that place. They have four children, Emery, Trafton, Everett and Charlotte E. Emery is practicing law with his father; Trafton is completing his senior year in the law school of Columbia college, and has made a most enviable record as student. Mrs. Dye, as is well known here, is the author of three very delightful books: "McLaughlin and Old Oregon,", "The Conquest," and "McDonald of Oregon." Those who have read her books and are familiar with her style will testify to the merit of these works,and grant her a high place in literary circles in this and foreign countries. Mrs. Dye is a lady of rare attainments, a ripe scholar, a good wife, and excellent mother, and has all of the charm and beauty of refined womanhood. Her old friends and pupils certainly enjoyed her visit to this place, and her stay in our midst will be looked upon as one of the brightest and most delightful of reminiscences. The charm of her conversation and the fragrance of her presence will be cherished by all who had the pleasure of her delightful visit.
