Smith and George and Jeff Hamlin were circulating a petition about Medlord this week asking for signatures and receiving a great mnny of them. The petition asks the county court to cause a road to be laid out and put in shape for use, from a point about two miles south of Medford, at the northeast corner of the Hamlin dona tion claim, and running south along the west line of above named land to the southwest corner of the Edsall farm; thjnct west on line between Bennett's and Gallagher's farms and then soutfj to the old military road, where the new road will termi nate. There were HO names to the petition. The road as mapped out would save about two miles of travel to nearly all farmers of that locality who come this way to do their trading. More new,goods at G. L.

" Last week we wrote a small item on the weather a subject which all newspapermen resort to when hard pushed for something to write about and the "prints" are shouting for copy. This, however, was not our fix The weather was so fine that we couldn't resist the temptation to say something, but when we put that item on paper with printer's iuk it was one of the bisrsrest lies one could well print. It was a bigger lie than that deer storr D. S. ountrs tells is an esasrsreration. The snow was falling at the time this item was printed in darkening whiteness, and it didn't auit until somethins like five inches was spread at our feet. The weather business with us has forever been settled it must be understood that it is pleasant all the time. Bamboo sroods make as pretty Christmas presents as anything one can think of.

Purdin sold his real estate in Medford, com prising a house and lot, corner C and Xinth streets, and two vacant lots nearly opposite oil C street, to Mer chant F. K.

As soon as the sale had been consummated Mr. Purdin began arrangements for the removal of his family from this city to some Cali fornia point, and on Monday ho left for San Francisco, his family to follow - about January first, or soon-r should he be successful in finding a location to his liking before that time.

Mrs. Faria has a splendid home and understands full well how to make all people wel come who enter her doors. The re ceipts ware So.

Charlie Damon will give a dance in the opera house on Saturday evening of this week. Charlie has been to a big expense in tilting up the hall and has it now in pretty good shape. The improvements made have been a continued draft of funds from his purse, while the incoming tariff has been de cidedly light. The Saturday nijrht party is to be a sort of a benefit to Mr. Damon, and as the tickets are only fifty cents each it is safe to presume that many will chip in who do not dance. Charlie deserves mst a little remem brance for his enterprise in fitting up the house so nicely.

They are fine drivers and the doctor is justly proud of them, but, is not our doctor getting a little foxy? Fast driv ing horses almost always travel a road that leads to a fast trotting ground.

Conductor Dyer and Engineer Lewis, together with Fireman Tryer and a whole lot of other fellows, turned the short line engine Tuesday. They be gan the work at 10 o'clock a. m. and at 1 p. m. the work was completed, and not a trip was missed. The reason for turning was that more fuel was required to keep up steam as the en gine has leen running, and a general inconvenience all round. The postal car on Xo. 15. Friday evening week, was lighted with the much talked of Pintsch gas, the first car on this road to be so equipped. This gas was placed in the mail car as a test, to ascertain if the gas was the most profitable light to be used in cars. It gives a much better light than coal oil and is cheaper, and will no doubt be placed in all tho company's paseetiger cars. The gas is stored in tanks under neath the cars, and this mode of light ing has bLen in general use on a number of roads in the east for some time, giving eminent satisfaction. It is reKrted that a change will soon be made in the "engine runs" between Portland and Ashland, wherebv seven engineers and nine firemen will ba laid off. The change will affect trains Xo. 15 and Hi, and is made by the iutroduc tion of the new "hog" engines which the company is placing on their roads for fast aiV'nger service.
