NEWS OF THE CITY.
Y. 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

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

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.

The Racket is the place to get

ceived. 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.

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

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. Deputies Sisomore and
Dean, armed with theso ten warrants
started for the slavers Saturdny
morning. When crossing the Rogue
river bridge the deputies met Thos.
Anderson and Jeff Hamlin with deer
meat and pelts in their wagon. They
placed them under arrest and brought
them to Jacksonville whore Justice
Dunlap fined them $15 each and costs,
amounting to $21.50, fines paid: The
deputies had not yet bagged all thoir
gamo and at once proceeded to Elk
creek, which they reached early Sun
day morning, and made the other eight
arreHts and brought their men to Jack
sonville, and Justice Dunlap dealt out
the following doses to them: All of
the Gees, $20 each and costs, commit
ted to jail; J. H. Caton and three sous,
$15 each and costs, one paid fino, three
committed; Calvin Winningham, $20
and costs, committed.
Elk creek is botween forty and fifty
miles from .Medford and has been a
favorite summer camp for the deer
"strippers," as thej are called. Tho
settlers have decided to put a quietus
to thalr maneuvers and tha above
arrests will undoubtedly perform that
mission to a certain extent.

. Early this week a salo of the general
dry goods stock owned by Goldstone
Bros, was made to Rev. E. E. Thomp
son and W . H. Meeker, and on Tues
bay they began taking stock. This
work was completed Wednesday night
and the now proprietors are now in pos
session of the Now York Cash Store.
Mr. Thompson was formerly pastor
of the M. E. Church of this place, but
for the past year or two has been fill
ing a like position in Grants Pass,
which position he resigned a few weeks
ago to enter into tho business above
mentioned. Mr. Thompson is a son-in-law
of J. G. VanDyke, of this place,
and both himself and wife have many
friends horeabouts who will be pleased
to learn that they are again to be resi
dents of our city.
Mr. Meeker is an old acquaintance
of Mr. Thompson and came from Iowa
to Medford last January. Prior to his
coining to Medford he was engaged in
farm iug pursuits and being a thrifty,
hard-working gentleman prosperity
camo his way until he had gained a
goodly amount of property, a portion of
which he has now invested in the
mercantile business
The new firm, which will bo Thomp

goods to tho extent of about $1000 at
once to their already quite replete
stock, and as they say, will carry as
complete a line of goods as any house

Public School Ecntetainment.
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. Th program of Fri
day evening was finely carried out
from commencement to cad. The rec
itations by Emma Barkdull, M. Brad

Webb. May Puipps. 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. "Miss Fannie
Haskins' eaay, "English Literature,'"
had been well and carefully prepared
aud was rendered in a manner pos
sessed of eae and grace. The orsran
sextet, by Misses Grace Aman, Grace
Odger. Mabel Jones. Virgie Wood
ford. Ma.VMe Foster and Etta Medynki
was one of tho choicest musical selec
tions and was greeted with an encour
aging applause. An alto solo by John
VanDyko was another of the evening's
musical treats. A vocal sextet by Etta
Medynski. Iva Purdin, Ida Weaver.
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.

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.

Growing old gracefully, cheerful aud bright."

At a recent political speaking it was
noticed thnt the voices lacked the vol
ume to fill the auditorium, and the re
flection came, why not open the
mouth wider, speak slower and fuller,
thon peoplo could both apprehend aud
comprehend, but best of all, they
could .remember? The evident mother
wit and good will of two were apprecia
ted by all. Ono mistake was recently
made in submitting that education
makes the man. God alone gives the
wit which books may cmbelish but
never can bestow. An uneducated man
can intuitively judge of the results of
school tuition aud control, if he has
motner-wit.
The band uniform was noticed and
admired by all. Everybody has words
of praise for the boys,
The sermon in the Baptist church on
Sunday morring. May 18th, ought to
have sent every impartial hearer homo
a better mau. . A listener husnot heard
a better for live years; which is as far
into the past as he can recall religious
discourses. The text was taken from
tho Psalms, which snsrsrested other
thoughts, oue of which was, "People's
party, democrat and ropublisan were
in the pews nnd praved for the counsel
,of God; on Monday each will denounce
the other. Is Jehovah the author of
this babel?"' Tho other reflection was:
If David now had followers, unmar
ried womon would not appear in the
census reports and every sano and ma
ture lemaie wouia nave a home thus
wiping out of existence femiuine desti
tution and trampdom."
On Monduv. in nun nf tVin itnma n
man declared that paying pensions had
made tho present hard times; the
utteror, howover, bad no connection
with any mercantile establishment in
this city.
