Vengeance at latt bag overtaken the idiot that rock9 a boat. A Maryland coroner's jury has de clared him to be guilty of willful murder. Whils a Texas man was at prayer meetfng 300 young chickens were ctolea fron his hen bouse. When . lie discovered the theft be held a A farmer in AddUon, Me., has a sheep which this year yielded two fleeeee, one black as ink and the otbar as white as snow. - The man wka first started the story was un doubtedly a prevaricator. fa the thirteen years ending June 30, 1903, according to official re ports, the .railroads of the United States killed'86,277 people and in- inred 469.027. Yet in the face of . these figures, there are people whose idea, of a good time is to fill up on whisky and go to sleep on the track. 11 is obvious error. ' fVnri wnTAW fi a Kno ftirnifilipft fl new boy preacher, Met as Joiner, 9. years of age, who lately held one of the largest congregations ever seen in the town enraptured fr thirty minutes. After he bad finished bis sermon, several ladies ran up to kips hiui, but he told them not to wor ship him, but the one of whom be was preaching. . . In a recent isue of the Rural Sorthweat, published at Portland, appears the following editorial: "There h always a bom on in the fruit growing business somewhere. At the present time there is quite an apple-plimting; boom . in - the Rogue. River valley. A few of the most thorough orchardiet of the vcate have rnnle a marked eupcess ; xr-ii xt i . Ul prowing xenuw j.ewiuwu apples j mere, ana many are seeking to profit by their experience. If the planting keeps on Medford will yet be contesting with Watson ville, Gal if.,, for the position of tbe lead ing apple Bhippihg point on tbe yacifio coast." Thff Bural' Nofthwest, during the lees than twenty-five fruit items past three months, has printed no which were taken from the columns of The Mail, and to each and every one proper credit has been given. The inspiration which fa thered tbe above quoted editorial undoubtedly found root in the pe rusal of The Mail's columns and in the face of all this evidence there is one individual in Medford who wi'.l iusist that The Mail is en deavoring to do the town an injury. During tbe past nine years there has never been proposed one single enterprise wb:ch would tend to im prove the condition! of our town that The Mail has not gratuitously given use of its columns; and further than that, there has never been a movement of any kind on foot which has required the expenditure f funds that .The Mail has not sub scribed liberally thereto. All of these, of course, are, undoubtedly, reasons why some of our business men should withhold their patron age from these columnf(?). Frank C. LadJ Is Married. From the RoBeburg Review. "Married Ladd Noe At the resi dence of tbe officiating minister, Rev.. 8; A. Douglas, in Rosebursr, Nov. 27, 1901, Miss Adeline Noe, of Leland, and Mr. P. C. Ladd, of this city. "Mr. Ladd is the senior partner of the firm of Ladd & Olson, proprietor of the new Racket Btore, in the Stanton building. He and his bride will become permanent residents of our city." Mr. Ladd is well known in Jackson County, where he has been an occa sional resident for several years. He is a very floe young man and The Mail is glad of this opportunity to extend congratulations. Meeting Literary Society. Regular meeting of the Wavorly Lit erary Society of the Medford High school was held Friday afternoon, Nov.' 21,1001. The debate, which was "Re solved, TLat mining has done more for the development of Southern Oregon than farming," was decided in favor of the afflmatlvo. The debaters on the af firmative side were Lottie Wiley and Bessie Earhart and on the negative side were Pearl Beckett and Amy Kent.

Last week those columns told of tho Immense yield of apples from a three acre orchard, near Central Point. Our Informant was somewhat Io error as to tbe exaot amount of fruit gathered. We print this week a communication from Central Point which covers the ground completely. The communica tion is signed by one of the most honor able and successful oltlzens of that town, but the signature Is not affixed to It because of very good reasons given by the writer. Tbe Item here follows: "As an evldonce of the possibilities of tbe fruit Industry In Jackson County, the following wonderful profit from three acrna of apple orchard, one mile north of Central Point, may be cited : "The crop was bought by W. H. Nor oroes, an extensive fruit shipper, for 00 cents a box on the trees in the orchard. The owner, J: -W. Merrltt; realized 11251.110 for tbe season's yield, which was 1391 boxes. Mr. Noroross sold the fruit for 11.25 per box, realizing 91738.75 from three acres of ten-year-old apple tree. This shows the wonderful profit of tbe iadustry, when orchards 'are properly pruned, cultivated and pro tected from fruit pests. Jackson County is tbe greatest fruit producing section of Oregon, and capitalists are arriving dally, buying up tbe cream of the val ley, and setting It to apple trees, princi pally Newtown Pippins and Stitzen burgs. Men who have been In tbe fruit business for years are purchasing more land and setting out more trees this fall. Farmers are realizing the ad van times of fruit over wheat, and gradually setting their entire holdings with fruit trees." v - 300 PAIRS OF SHOPS will be sold at ACTUAL COST PRICE, A. M.
