B. and F. H. Pai-ks, represent ing a San Francisco bouse, are can vassing the county hereabouts taking orders for groceries, which, as we learn, they advertise to sell at wholesale prices. This may be the case but we don't believe they can do it. If so, who is paying their salary, livery hire and board? It Is not good policy to deal with outside houses; and in roost cases it is far from being a saving to the purchasers. Our good farmer friends will be coming into the several towns of the valley in a few weeks with their wagons loaded with produce, but will Messrs. Parks be there to buy it from you? Another point you will, perhaps, be wanting a few articles of domestic use which possibly you will not have the cash to pay for until after harvest. Is it fair to pay cash to out-of-town concerns and ask your home merchants to trust you for such goods as you will need when the out-of-town supply shall have been exhausted? Did you ever realize what a prominent factor cash is in doaling with your home merchants? Give him a chance at your twenty dollar pieces and you will be surprised at the result. You will be wan tingsome crockery, perhaps, this spring. Baby has proba bly broken a number of pieces during the winter; perhaps your kitchen help and the policeman have been working up a trade for the crockeryman iu any case you can get full sets or odd pieces of almost any quality or style at Wol ters, the grocer. The early day residents of Medford will remember well Rev. A. M. Rus sell, the Baptist clergymen through whose efforts the Baptist church was built in Medford, about nine years ago. At the general convention for central and northern California held in San Francisco last week the reverend gen tleman was there and this is what the Chronicle says of him: "The annual sermon was preached by Rev. A. M. Russell of Hamilton-square Church iu San Francisco from psalm 63 verse ii, 'The Lord gave the word and great was the company that published it. The sermon was an eloauent presenta tion of the power of preaching and pub lishing the word. The prophecy of toe test, the speaker said, nas been fulfilled until the word of God has been proclaimed to the uttermost parts of the earth.1' "Discount" is a word that catches all eyes. When these eyes have seen our gent s woolen goods and you learn of our 25 per cent d iscount we will catch the buyers. I. M. Aluiier, the corner grocer. The Medford candy factory, Zahn & Fry proprietors, is doing a splendid business. In the language of Mr. Zahn. "the Dutchman is satisfied' Their average weekly sales are about three hundred pounds. ' Their patrons are merchants of Ashland. Jacksonville, Central Point, Eagle Point, Talent and Phoenix, and most of these are getting in with their second and third orders, proving conclusively that they are well satisfied with the goods purchased. It is the several institutions of this kind that keen the dollars of the valley at home. Manufacturing institutions annot be too plentiful to build up a community. If all are as worthy of UDDOrt as is the above we ought an to put our shoulder to the wheel and help them reach a still greater ousiness. Warm weather is very close fcto us. You will unaouDuy neea some ice. Curry cV Johnfon are agents for the Medford Ice Company's ice. Leave orders with them mil receive prompt delivery. If Medford parents could see and bear their children as others do there would be less of boistrous conduct at public entertainments in the opera house. An encore or applause is an very right and proper when deserved but prolonged whistling, shouting or stamping of feet is an act far beneath the conduct of a true gentleman. Boys can be little gentlemen if they will and no better place is there to snow mis spirit of manliness than at a public entertainment. If parents do not take their wayward and boistrous children in hand at these public gatherings and see that they do not disturb those who go there to listen to the speakers, the marshal will be called upon to eject them from the hall. . G. L. Webb's Racket -just received more new sun ana cotton laces, sun mitts and gloves, also a new lot of millinery ribbon. It is useless to say that they are bargains, because very one knows they are the cheapest in the city. An outfit of California emigrants passed through town this forenoon and are camped a short distance below. They came from San Luis Obispo coun ty, about 200 miles from San Francisco, on the coast, and report that California is suffering the worst drought since 1677. This gentleman was running a dairy on a nine hundred acre ranch, with lorty milch cows ana otner cattle and horses. He left all behind to die except the teams to bring bim away. He reports that stock of all kind is dy ing by thousands, and that many of the people are on the road coming this way in search of a place to sustain life, hav ing absolutely been forced to leave on account of the unprecedented drought.

S Hoffman, the gentleman who has recently opened a clothes dyeing establishment on Front street, is in re ceipt of a curio from Jerusalem. It is a block of olive wood highly polished and very beautiful. Upon one side of the block is engraved the entrance to the Jewish temple of worship. The block of wood is 300 years old that is, it was 300 years in attaining its growth, as shown with a magnifying glass by its marks of each year's growth. It is from the olive tree that the oil is ob tained which is used in the temple. J. Rabinowitch is the sender of the me mento and Mr. H is justly proud of it. If any body was to ask you for the best hat to buy for the money, you couldn't, and be honest to yourself and friends, tell them to buy any other bat than the Stetson Wolters keeps them. Prof. C. S. Price, principal of the Jacksonville public schools, has se cured a like position for the coming year at Grants Pass. His securing the new position was brought about through the recommendation of Mr. Bliss, of this city, who was visiting at Grants Pass and with one of the members of the school board. Mr. Price was sent for and upon his arrival a contract was soon entered into. As an instructor Mr. Price has a very enviable reputa tion in Southern Oregon, and Grants Pass , has reason to be congratulated upon securing his services as their schools' educator. .

According to the following quota tions Medford is a pretty good wheat market. In New York City wheat is worth 60 cents; in Chicago, 55 cents' in San Francisco, including sacks, 51 cents; in Medford, without sacks, 50 cento. Figuring this matter up one Ida and down the other what is there wrong with the wheat product of the Rogue river valley? It looks most mightily like the farmers of this local ity have reason to congratulate them elves when quotations are seen from Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S.

Dr. Geary has made the purcbaso, from Mitchell, Lewis & Staver, of a fine Cor vail is Concord spring carriage.

For sorno several years past parties from tho valley have been in tho habit ot going into the mountains in the vicinity of Prospect and making a bus iness of killing deer upon a wholesale basis, both in and out of season. It is unlawful at this season of the yonr to kill deer yet parties have had their camps established on Elk creek for several weeks and have been killing deer in great numbers regardless of the prohibitory law, tho profits accru ing therefrom being the sale of deer skins and dried meat. Tho latter part of last week W. W. Willits, of Prospect, came to Jackson ville and swore out a warrant for the arrest of the following persons: Thos. Anderson and Jeff Hamlin, ot Medford: Hugh, Iley and Harry Goo, of Ashland; J. II. Caton and three sons, ot Eaglo Point, and Calvin Winningham, ot Trail creek.

Too much praise cannot be given the public school pupils of Medfurd and their instructors. The manner in which the entertainment was conducted last Friday evening and the very able and pleasing program was evidence conclusive of the instructors' work and tho pupils' careful and eay conception of tho ideas given to them through Mich able minds. A large crowd greeted the school children at the opera house and were loud in their applaud. The house, par ticularly the blage, was beautifully decorated with (lowers, mottoes and overgroens, while along the entire west side was displayed for inspection the examination papers of the pupils and specimens of their work from the Kindergarten to the high school. Theso were all carefully looked over during the evening aud the following Saturday by parents, and all were great ly admired and pleasant comment was passed upon it.

Ollie Hart, Ralph Woodford, Katie Angle, Jas. Stewart, Bernice Angle, Dolpha Uainnumd. B. E. Brown. Percy DeGroot, Meda Ply male and Everett Geary were each and every one first-class in all respects. To speak of thorn separately would require many lines of type, but as none can be mentioned only in words of compli ment it would be tautology long drawn out not to bunch them.

Virgie Woodford, Mabel Jones and Edith VanDyke was splendid music well rendered, and tho young ladies were encored repeatedly. "The closing of lha evening's program was the "Fioral Rainbow" by the very smallest children of tho school. This was amus ing and pleasing to (ho fond mothers as well as all others present. The training of tbes very young minds to such work as that produced requires many hours of diligent labor and much latience, for all of which their teacher. Miss Coleman, is entitled to unlimited credit. The public school baud rend ered several ot their finest selections wherein a marked improvement was noticed, showing that here, too, is found the earnest and efficient work of the master instructor's hand and mind. The entertainment entire was post lively the best product of a school effort toe writer has ever listened to. A Golden Wedding. A notable event was the gathering at the home of It. 1. Lawton, on u street. last Tuesday eveaing, tho occasion be ing tho fiftieth anniversary of the marriago of Mr. and Mrs. Lawton. Rare, because in this busy old world of change, it is seldom that so many pleasant circumstances exist in one family after a period of fifty years. The couple were married iu Verona, New York. Their children, Mrs. Helen Haskins Messrs. Denison T. and J. West Lawtou, are well known in Medford. There are nine grand-chil dren. Jo branch of the familv tree has ever been severed, the Great Har vester having passed them bv, and they all live on the same street, and within hailing distance of each othsr, as do also a sister and two brothers of Mrs. Lawton. Surely, few families are so rarely blessed, oi the guests at the wedding in tho old home in New York so long ago, but one, Mrs. Denisou, was present on this occasion. The gifta were numerous and beautiful, the supper bountiful, and the long tabic, surrounded by a happy crowd, from the gray haired sire of seveuty four down to tho little ono of four, and' mirth and repartee abounded. A snatch of conversation overheard by the writer, is supped In hero as a direct refutation of the sentiment oxpresscd in a popular song The sariiiusl or lores, is a love frrown oolu, Aud 'tis one of its surest iha.ses." A brother of tho brido was congratula ting tho venerable bridegroom, and this was his reply: "I can see, as I look back over the past fifty years, of many mistakes I have made, but if I were placed back to my early manhood I should make it my first business to go straight to Undo David West and inako a bargain for little Francis," aud she, smiling happily, added that if be tailed to do so she certainly should avail her self of the first leap year privilege and sock him. We, who have known them long, can vouch for the sincerity hid den in the foregoing pleasantry. A charming feature of the evening. was tho gratifying surprise conferred by the public school band, led by Prof. N. L. Narregun, who so kindly sere naded the happy couple in their usual commendatory style, of which we, as citizens, are so justly proud. At a late hour good nights wore 6poken, and the frionds dispersed with many congratulations aud a secret hope that tho burdon of years may rest ns lightly upon each of us. -ruriroiu mo storms mat are losuiug me ocoan, Nuuror each day to the pleasant Homo light.
