S OF THE CITY.
Old- ties have been severed and
- new ones have been formed. The law
firm of Webster & Hammond has been
dissolved and the hand writing on the
wall now reads, ''Hammond & Vawter".
Mr. Lionel R. Webster, the retiring
member of the old firm, will move
with his 'family to Portland about
January first and will there enter into
partnership with C. M. Idleman, At
torney General-elect, ex-Judge Carey
and P. D. May, ex-U. S. District At
torney. In leaving Jackson county
Judge Webster takes with hiua the
best wishes of a great many solid
friends and none would like to see suc
cess attend him more than would The
Mail. Mr. W.l. Vawter, the gentle
man who takes Mr. Webster's place, is
well known to. the people of Jackson
, county and, while young in practice he
is well up in ability. He is a splendid
speaker and although he has practiced
at the bar for nearly two years he ad
heres to the good locic of our most
eminent men a professional man
must be a student always, and the
closer student he is the greater will be
Ms success. The new firm of Ham
mond & Vawter will most assuredly do
business, and considerable of it.

- D. Brooks, the tinsmith, is from
.Arkansas and as a matter of course he
takes the local paper, published in his
old town. In this local paper of a few
. weeks ago, was an item telling of a
mammoth (?) squash which had been
laid on the editor's table" by some
good farmer. A big crow was made
by the editor because that this Lilli
putian squash weighed sixty-three
pounds. It was a whale for that coun
try. As a matter of fact even a lighter
weight would have been something
out of the ordinary. Here in Oregon,
, Southern Oregon, the great Rogue
- river valley, Jackson -county, near
Medford, squashes the size of the
above are usee by the small boys in
Vtheir street games in place of marbles
they are xnsidered too diminitive
'jrtor purposes of sustenance. To prove
that squashes grow to be squashes in
this county, where red apples-are red,
ripe and luscious several mo nths in
Xhe year, let us cite that Thos. Mc
Andrews, living just east of Medford,
brought a squash to Medford this
-week and placed it in the Star restaur
ant window that weighed 140 pounds. .
Owing to continued ill health f am
.obliged to sell all my house and green

' If there is anything in the gun line
-that John Redfield dares not tackle, it
has yet to put in its appearance. Mr.
Ked field is most positively a very com-.
petent gunsmith and we all rejoice
.that such a gentleman is one of us. His
latest undertaking is the manufacture
.of a $123 gun for J. A. Whitman. It is
to be a hammerless, automatic ejector,
.double barreled shotgun, twelve gage,
and when completed will weigh but six
pounds. The Hunter Arms company,
of Fulton, N. Y., have . issued a chal
lenge to the world to manufacture a
hammerless, automatic ejector gun
with less number of pieces than they
put out. Mr. Whitman's gun will be
almost identical with the Hunter gun,
out will have eleven pieces less. Upon
-the steel mountings ef this gun will be
.ngraved several beautiful designs es
pecially admired by the sportsman.
iChas. "Perdue will assist Mr. Kedfield
in the manufacture of this implement
of the sportsman's delight, and thirty
days from next Monday it is to be fin
ished. More new goods at G. L. Webbjs
Racket store consisting of Stamped
goods, crochet cotton, tassels, pom

fine imported Saxony and German
knitting yarn. Come see prices and
.quality.
- Will Rhodes' team drove a turn
hai "wasn't on the bills," Saturday
morning. As he was coming into
$own, and when near the Clarendon
hotel one of the bridle bits broke in
the horses mouth, and thus becoming
unmanageable they started on a run,
grossing tbe track and making for the
. Hotel Medford, and being unable to
turn soon enough they took out tbe
jS5W4C post and let down a large sec
tion of th"-roracda. About this time
Mr. Rhodes concluded to abandon
ship, and in so doing came in contact
with the electric light pole, which
bruised him up considerable. The
team dashed down the street with
-the wagon tongue down and were
not stopped until they had reached the
.electric light station on A street. The
horses were considerably bruised up
and the wagon broken in a number of
places, besides the damage done at the
Hotel Medford. -
The Morris Variety store record

Of them have been well patromzsd. This
is the first occasion upon which tbe
' Episcopal organization has asked any

purses of our usually very generous
citizens; and it is safe to presume that
jthey will not be less charitable in this
instance. Doors will be open at seven
o'clock and the entertainment will
commence at eight. The admission
price for adults will be twenty-five
jcents and for children, under twelve
years of age, ten cents.

An item which grieves us very much
to write this week is the announcement
of the sudden death of Mrs. Crouch,
wife of contractor B. F. Crouch, which
occurred last Friday noon, at the fami
ly residence in this city. The lady had
been ill with fever for some few days
prior to her death but was apparently
much improved and getting along very
nicely, when she was suddeuly taken
worse and exoired before medical at
tendance could be secured. She was
forty-three years of age and had lived
in Medford four or five years nnd dur
ing that time 3he had endeared herself
to a very large circle of friends. Funer
al services were conducted by Rev. A.
S. Foster on Saturday. A husband and
seven childreu mourn her sudden de
mise. S. Rosenthal is doing a rushing
business soiling out at cost. Call and

places of worship and give thanks
to Almighty God for our peace as a
nation; for our immunity from
disease and pestilence; for the har
vests that have rewarded our hus
bandry; for a renewal of national
prosperity, and for every advance
in virtue and intelligence that has
marked our growth as a people.
And with our thanksgiven, let us
pray that these blessings may be
multiplied unto us; that our na
tional conscience ma be quickened
to a better recognition of the power
and goodness of God, and that, in
our national life, we may clearer
see and closer follow the path of
righteousness. And in our places
of worship and praise, as well as in
tbe happy reunions of kindred and
friends, on that day let us in
voke divine approval by generously
remembering the poor and needy.
Surely He, who has given us com

of hearts truly grateful and as
proofs of sincerity of our thanks
giving." GOVERNOR PEXNOYER'S POCLAMATIOX.
