Peter Devlin has been lying very low with typhoid maleria at Mrs. Kenney's residence in Jacksonville since Tuesday morning. Drs. Hines and Geary are in attendance. Misses Clara, Helen, Mary and Master Don Colvig are spending the week at Bolt with their grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Birdsey.

All had a merry time and hope to see our neighbors over to the New Year's ball and know they will be made welcome. E. E. Phipps, of Gold Hill, was in Jacksonville Tuesday interview ing the county clerk, but he wanted his mission kept a secret. Probably he has not learned it is a difficult task to keep things quiet when the festive correspondent is. on alert. A marriage license issue! December 24 - to E the was E. Phipps and Miss Edith Crouth. The Christmas tree entertain ment at the Presbyterian church was largely attended and many children, who do not attend Sunday school, were kindly remembered with & bag of candy, nuts and an orange by the committee.

Arnold has been suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism lately! but was able to be about on Monday. The late Btorms have driven the ducks in from the colder valleys and now there ia splendid shooting on and near Kogue nver, several banters have already made good records. Judging from the number of new houses and miners cabins that nave gone up on the road to Gold Hill there must be new life in the mm ing business. Some of the men say that there is plenty of ground ou some of the worked out and dis carded claims that will pay to work when water is plentiful and they are taking advantage of the present supply. If we are rightly informed, the citiiens of Sams Valley donated ob hundred dollars in work toward graveling the road from Moonville to J. K. Moore's place at the lower end of the valley. We believe that to be the best paying investment they could have made. A similar movement is being talked of here. Give us better roads and we can market our produce cheaper, save wear and tear on our wagons and have better horses to drive. Your correspondent accompanied by Will Nichols, Alex. Robinson and Otis Frierson make a flying trip to Gold Hill and the Foot's creek mine Friday. We found Gold Hill a busy place and from appearances the merchants are do ing a prosperous business. The stay at the mine was too short to give anything like a fair description of the extensive work being done there. 1 hey are workinir fiftv-five! men now and will increase their force as soon'as possible to make room. - " ' . .

Ander son sold to the packing company in Medford a drove of hogs which weighed 12,200 pounds. Some one visited W. M. Smith's smokehouse a few nights since and helped themselves to the bacoa and lard, but, sorry to Bay, failed to leave their card. We are ashamed to send such an article from a land of plenty and where the helping hand is always extended . The little accident which occured at the close of our school has been enlarged upon until we learn from valley papers it was a narrow es cape from being a repetition of the Silver Lake horror on Christmas a year ago.
