IIow about those improvements on
the bicycle track?
Miss Pearl Hibbard has ordered her
a new high grade wheel.
William Barnu'n has ordered three
"Overland" bicycles for familv use.
Medford has more lady bicycle rider
than any other town in JaoKson county
and our men folk who ride are not

your breakfast. Bicycling before the
inner man bit- been replenished is bad,
very bad.

which we made mention two weeks ago,

been set for the day. Big preparations
are being made and everything pos
sible is done to make the affair a
grand one and one long to be remem

arena of this county.
SCHOOL NOTES.
Sixth grade have taken their
final examination in mental arith
metic. Visitors during the past week:
Mrs. W. H. Barr, Mrs. Mary Leslie,
Mrs. Richardson, and Rev. Wood.
The graduating class this year
will make a departure from the
usual program of exercises. All th
original productions of the class will
bear upon some feature of America.
By vote of the class there will be no
salutatory or valedictory. Instead of
a class history and prophecy the
class will appear in a reunion
twenty years after graduating.
The class will make as ample
provisions as possible for those at
tending the graduating exercises
but it is impossible to seat everybody
and please everyone at such a time.
The ushers will have full charge
of the seats during the entire eve
ning. They may find it advisable
to ask some to change seats. No
gentleman will object to that at
such a time. It may be well for
young children to remain at home
and babies who want to cry should
do it before coming to the hall. Ex
ercises will begin at eight o'clock
and no one will be allowed to enter
during the presentation of any part
of the program .

"Imagine aU indomitable sadness, all
nostalgia, all aspirations toward tb
infinite, all revolutionaryrsomberness,
all luminous and grand ideas, all the
abrupt energies of the insurrectionary
conscience placed in the tangible form
of a man, indomitable and generous,
combative and austere; sucb as Alfaro.

Aluminum is to be adopted as a sub
stitute for iron and steel in the Frenck
army. In view of the absenee of roads,
and the steepness of the tracks in.
Madagascar, the kettles and other im
pedimenta of the troops taking part in
the expedition, the trees of the saddle
of the cavalry and the stirrups are to
be inaiie of aluminum. The trees will
have bands of steel set in when the
metal is in a state of fusion. Th
weight of tho French heavy cavalry
saddle tree is now about five pounds,
but with the substitution of aluminum
it will be reduced considerably less
than two and a half pounds.
