Last Saturday was quite an aus

the creamery meeting thero was tho
moving Into the new Southern Paolflc

moving of Agont W. V. Llpplncott In
a now easy ohalr from tbo old to the

to the event Townsman R. H. White'
head was noiselessly moving among
the buslnoss men of the town and from
them aocopting a willing and vory gen
erous donation of money for the pur
ohase of an elegant easy office chair for
Mr. Llpplncott. His schomo worked
out splendidly and two o'clock lost Sat
urday was the hour agreed upon for
tho presentation. A little boforo that
hour Hotel Nash corner was filled with
townspeople and at a given signal the
crowd proceeded to tbo old depot with
the now chair. The chair was taken
inside nnd Mr. Llpplncott, who was
wholly In Ignorance of the Intended
procedure, was taken up bodily and
placed in the chair, whon an half dozen
or more citizens gathered up the ohalr
with Mr. L. In it, and raising it high
in air proceeded to the office of the
now depot, whore the chair was pro
sentod to Mr. Lippineottby Mr. White
bead with the compliment of the oltl
zons of Medford, who had takon this
mothod of expressing their esteem for
him as the proflolent and always oblig
Ing agont of the S. P. Company and of

To this Mr. Llpplnoott replied that be

will and If he had really merited such
esteem in the past ho hoped that hie
oonduct might bo suoh in the future as
tooontlnuo that confidence and good
feeling. Capt. Nosh was oa deck with
