When once started the manufacture of beer will, continue through the entire season and as soon the weather demands it the ice plant will be operated. Mr. Bashford promises to make this one of the lead ing industries of Medford, and as he possesses the necessary finance, togeth er with plenty of pushing propensities we doubt not but that he will do it.

Bellinger's pleasant farm residence, last Monday. About twenty-five people partook of the delicious dinner, consisting of tur keys, chickens, cakes, etc served by the hostess. Dinner being over, all were treated to some excellent vocal and instrumental music, furnished by John Bellinger and wife. The guests returned home at a late hour, and hav ing spent such an enjoyable day, were heard to murmur that the only sad thing was that New Year's don't come oftener than once a year. The promptness with which Ayer's Cherry Pectoral stops a hacking cough and induces refreshing sleep is marv elous.

Geary is division surgeon for the Southern Pacific railroad and about this time every year he receives an annual pass-over the line, between Portland and Ashland he is already fixed with this convenient piece of card board for the year "94. In early construction days the doctor was the company's regular employed physician and surgeon and there was no little work to attend to in his line at that time. So efficient were the services rendered at that time as to warrant the company in continuing him in their employ and the pass spoken of is one of the courtesies extended by the com pany. Santa Claus is all right again. I have disposed of all the goods he left, and am now getting in a line of staples, all bought at extremely low prices for the cold cash, and will give you as good bargains in staples as you re ceived in the holiday line. G. L. Webb, Bacqueter. .' Dr. Adkins, since his return from the east, has been in quite poor health, the result of a severe cold contracted while on his return home. His ail ment, however, is now a thing of dis tant memory and the good doctor is quite himself again, in evidence of which fact will be a mention of his hav ing gone out on Bear creek last Satur day and bagged two very fine wild (?) geese. That question mark is put after the word "wild" because Horace Mcnolson and a number or otners per sist in saying the geese were tame ones and that the doctor hired a small boy to catch them for him. This of coursa is untrue but it is high time the boys bad a little fun with the man of medi cine. A fine picture or story book given away with every package of tea at Morris &-Legate's. The farmers oi urimn creek are becoming well alive to the prune cul ture which is so fast demanding the attention of our people. The profit to be derived from a well cared for prune orchard is calculated in no small fig ures and that the many acres now de voted to the culture of cereals will soon be planted to fruit is only a question of a few years' time. What we started in to say was that G. W. Bashford was making ready to put out 1000 prune trees now pretty soon; C. A. Dickinson, 1000; S. G. Wortman, 1000, and J. McPherson 4000. The ground prepar atory to this work is now being put in shape and between now and April first the trees will be planted. Let every body give a cheer for Griffin creek let us all give a cheer for every man who will slide himself out of the forty cent whsat rut and will plant fruit trees. The old and reliable LINIMENT XXX- A friend to mankind as well as to the animal. Landlord Purdin's ingenuity- is something like the Chinaman's pecu liarities past finding out. Mr. Pur din has giren out that his reason for placing that strip of barbed wire across the sitting place on the outside of each of Hotel Medford's dining room win dows was to keep the "sitters' from darkening the dining room with their forms while engaged In "hoss-tradin' " and exchanging the village gossip. The wags about town, however, attrib ute the move on Mr. Purdin's part to be of another nature. They tell that the smiling landlord has been reading someplace of a fellow who wore a eoat of many colors and of varied diagonal and other stripings and that he will appear one of these days wearing a pair of pantaloons similar to the coat above spoken of. The sitters at these favored spots are not as plentiful as of yore but they are more profitable to the .hotel as a goodly portion of their pantaloons invariably remains on a barb. .

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Jackson County Bank, of Medford, Oreeon, for the election of directors, will be held at the banking house at 9 o'clock p. m., Saturday the frJ day of February, 1HX, Shooting Affray at Talent. There was a lively and quite, sorlous shooting affray up at the Harvey ranch, near Talent, last Sunday morning. Mr. Harvey has had in his employ for some time a young man about twenty two years old named Will Wilcox, who during his service with Mr. II. has 'been occupying a room at a tenement house owned by Mr. H. and leased by a Mr. Conwill. Saturday night of last week, during Mr. ConwiU's absence, Wilcox, who by-the-way, is said to be somewhat light fingered, was about to enter Mrs. ConwiU's room and when remonbtrated with by the lady, and by her was told to keep in his own part of the house, applied insulting epithets to the lady and was very abusive. Upon the return of her husband he was told of Wilcox's actions and the following (Sunday) morning Conwill walked oyer to Mr. H's. residence, about three hundred yards distance, to 1 protest against such conduct, and was standing on the porch in conversation with Mr H. when Wilcox and a companion came around the house to near where , the gentlemen were conversing. Upon be ing asked by Mr. H. as to why he did not stay in his part of the house, he (Wilcox) denied the report made by Mrs. C, calling the lady a liar. This remark brought out a worded discus sion which resulted in Conwill striking at Wilcox with his fist whereupon the latter produced a revolver from his pocket and fired two shots at Conwill, neither of which took effect as intended, one passing through his hat brim and the other entering the side of the house. ConwiU's retreat from danger's way was utterly impossible as he was stand ing on the porch with his back against the side of the house, and as a target was to him not the one thing most de sired, he reached for his revolver and fired two shots at his assailant, one of which took effect in the abdomen. The bullet entered the ubdomen a little be low the ribs, passed through the abdo men and lodged near the spinal column from which place it was removed by Drs. Wait and Geary. Conwill was arrested and Monday had an examination before Justice Foudray, District Attorney Benson ap pearing for the state and Attorneys Fitch tc Card well for the defense. The testimony of fire eye witnesses was taken, from which it appeared that the shooting, so far as defendant was con cerned, was wholly in self defense, and he was accordingly discharged. The defendant is spoken of as a very peace ful, law abiding citizen and the sym pathy of nearly the entire community is with him. Wilcox is reported in a very critical condition and in all probability will die. A later report says he is improv ing and may recover.

That the fruit industry in this imme diate locality is reaching out over a greater amount of territory is proven by no better evidence than the mention made from week to week in this paper of new orchards being planted. This week we are pleased to state that J. A. Whitman has purchased a tract of 110 acres of land from E. W. Hammond, located four miles northeast of Med ford and is arranging to plant the same to fruit trees. He now has six men at work taking out the chaparral grubs and other obstacles. He expects to have forty or fifty acres in readiness for planting by the middle of February or tne nrst of March. Upon this par cel of land he will plant about 2000 each of apple -and pear trees. Mr. Whitman expects to plant the remain der of the land another year. This gentleman is one of our most enter prising and progressive young business men and success will surely follow his efforts.

Of the more than aa hun dred home invitations issued a goodly number, considering the prevalence of la grippe, re sponded with their presence and spent a very happy evening. Ker. Foster and his estimable wife entertained, as they so well know bow. and by their affability put each guest at ease and added much to the evenidga pleasure.

Albert Lea, Minnesota, could not be present to re-perform the marriage ceremony, he ha ring sent his re- greta, "the old ceremony would have to last a while longer."
