A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
OUR PROMISED ENLARGEMENT.
-
The Prospect* of the New Year arc a* Bright a*
those oi the Old Year were.
With the compliment« of the season, '
we place before the appreciative public
the enlarged edition of the A dvektisek
with the a«« 11 rance that its success ami
proiqierity during the coming year will
lie even greater than that of the past.
It has been just seven month« since
the weekly A dvektisek made it« debut,
and throughout that time we have hail
all the success than any one but an ali­
tor could desire. Our advertising pat­
ronage lias l»een of the l«est, all available
Spaci* lading taken, and to afford more
to the live public to our principal object
in enlarging. Hitherto, our p.q»er has
liven too small to admit of the publics*
lion of details, a brief form of which is
just w hat is wanted by up-to-date ¡»eo-
ple, am! just w hat we are now prepared
to give to the public nt the nominal price
of fifty cents per year.
With live reporters on the track of all
local new s items, and modern office fa­
cilities, we shall turn out the liest, most
attractive ami moat serviceable paper of
its size published. We will not I m ? satis­
fied with an apjiearance like that pre­
sented by some country sheets,—poorly I
printed, a<is. poorly set, permiscuous ar­
rangement of reading matter, etc.,—but
it shall la* our aim to produce a paper
that will be a model for others. We al­
ways lead, let those follow w ho are com-
]»cteiit to do so.
Montana** Defeated Team.
The Butte, Montana, foot ludl team
jiassed through Ashland. Sunday, on
their return from Sun Francisco, where
thev • nlaved
ami lost a game with a team
< •
of San Francisco boys. They attributed !
their defeat to the fact that the mud on
the field was too deep, their size and
weight serving them at a disadvantage,
while their opponents,living small,played
all around them, defeating them badly.
During the thirty minutes that the
train stopped here, the Iwys'of the
team had quite a little sjx>rt at the ex­
pense of our city marshal.
The players of the Ashland Normal
requested the Montana team to side­
track their car ami they (the Normal
team) would show them how to play foot
ludl. Owing to lack of time, the invi­
tation was not accepted.
THE FALL OF TALLAN.
BY D. II. HAWKIN«.
’Twas the “speaking of mid-summer,”
the Gold-god’s hour;
When great Tallan sat enthroned in her
pride and her pow’r;
Where the plain of the Madros swept
laild to the wall,
Which surrounded great Tallan ami Mal­
abaun Hall.
The Hall Malabaun ami the Temple of
Gold;
Whose art-splendor and richness in story
is told.

A Musical Treat.
The Aramenti Concert Company, of
New Vork, will give an entertainment in
Ganiard’s Opera House next Saturday
evening, January 4th, for the benefit of
the Southern Oregon Chautauqua As­
sembly.
The company contains three most ex­
cellent musical artists, Mme. Julia Ara­
menti, Miss Celia Schiller and Mr. Victor
Kuzdo, all of whom have w on the admir­
ation and complimentary comment of
both press and public.
Every one should come out to hear
them. Bear in mind that the benefits
remain at home.
Money in Farming.
It is a notable fact that all farming in­
terests improve where it is possible to
utilize the water that the wells on the
place will produce. How few people
think of the value of water for irrigation,
and w hat could be produced at a mini­
mum cost if it were used. The question
has been heretofore how* to get the water
to the surface economically, and this has
been accomplished by the use of Gaso­
line or Kerosene Oil Gas Engine, manu­
factured by Palmer & Key Ty!>e Found­
When, all heartless ami willing, she er}’, 405 Sansoine street, San Francisco,
plunged her keen sword

To the heart of the maid, who had sinned

the side that fails to respond when
time is called.
