was deemed best to take no chances
and the opening of school was de
layed. The sick are all well on the
way to recovery and all danger of
contagion is over. ,

THE COUNTY'S FARM
Tidings Representative Visits Coun
ty Farm and Talks With Its
Well-Kept Inmates.
The expected has happened. The
Tidings city editor had to come to
it and go to the poorhouse. The in
mates, however, atrenuously object
to that cognomen, one very bright
old lady declaring that it should be
called the county's palace, rather.
There certainly i no trace of the
poorhouse of the nineteenth century
in Jackson county's well-kept home
for the aged, as this institution
might more properly be called, all
but two or three of the 25 inmates
being over 60 years young, as Oliver
Wendell Holmes was wont to say.
The writer, happening in the vi
cinity of the county farm Tuesday,
stopped to make some inquiries, and
the steward, Mr. j. N. Pace, made
him welcome and insisted upon his
remaining to dinner, Inspecting the
place and visiting the inmates.
Jackson county has a well-built,
well-equipped institution, the main
building being equipped with steam
heat, electric light and an up-to-date
i sewer system with closets on each
floor.
The superintendent is furnished
with a house for the use of his fam
ily, but they eat in the main build
ing, though not in the same room
with the inmates.
After partaking of a substantial
and appetizing dinner which remind
ed the writer of his boyhood's visits
to tho homes of prosperous farmers
in the Mississippi valley, an inspec
tion of the building was made, many
of the inmates seeming much pleased
to have someone visit them.
The rooms were all well, though
plainly, fufnished, comfortably heat
ed and well kept, most of the in
mates taking care of their own
rooms and taking pride in keeping
them neat.
There were a number of very in
teresting characters among the old
gentlemen and ladies who are hap
pily awaiting the call of the All
Father, and stories that would rival
rie strangeness of fiction could be
gathered had one the time to visit
extensively with them.
Among the inmates was "Uncle
Bill" Willis, for many years a well
known figure on the streets of Ash
land. Mr. Willis cwns a little place
in Talent, but because bf being near
ly blind and feeble with age, he pre
fers the pleasant home and compan
ionship of the county farm.
Another Interesting , character Is
Bill Hargreaves, for over 20 years
an inmate of the home. Mr. Har
greaves struck San Francisco in
1850, when it was a mere hamlet,
having come from the east in the
first gold rush. He came to south
ern Oregon almost Immediately and
lived the rough outdoor life of a
miner and prospector until about 20
years ago, when the advance of years
and ill health compelled him to seek
the refuge of the county farm, where
he has since lived, being now bedrid
den. He is over 87 years of age.
J. R. Davis, another inmate, who
lost the sight of one eye when a
baby, and of the other some years
ago by a cataract and other troubles,
is rejoicing In the recovery of the
sight of that eye through the remov
al of the cataract and another opera
tion by Dr. Eramenj of Medford. Mr.
Davis is now able to read and enjoys)
life much better because of the priv
ilege. Mr. Pace, the steward or superin
tendent, whatever his official title Is,
thanks the people of the county, j
especially of Ashland and Medford,
for the many books and peiiodicals
furnished the inmates, and says that
they cannot get too many.
Mr. Pace and his estimable help
meet take great Interest in the farm
and In the welfare of Its Inmates,
and seem indeed to be ideally adapt
ed to the work. One lady who is
over 80 years of age, and whose
daughter, with whom she lived, re
cently died at Gold Hill, and who has
sons living in Missouri, remains at
the farm in preference to going to
them.
The material welfare of the farm
is not neglected In caring for the in
mates, to judge from appearances.
There is some fine stock, and when
the scribe arrived the steward was
engaged in dressing some as fine
looking pbrkers as were ever mar
keted in the country.
The farm originally consisted of
50 acres., but 18 has been cut off for
the state experimental farm, leaving
only 32 acres. There Is considerable
fruit on the place and In a few years
it will not be necessary to buy any.
Considerable hay, vegetables and the
like are raised, which goes far to
ward supplying the needs of the

I
I uoul Jan- 1 4. Preferring
housekeeping to teaching school,
Miss Grnell of Portland, who was
to nave take charge of the seventh
and eiKntn grade, of the local
scllools Monday morning, announced
her matrimonial intentions at the
I eleventh hour, says the Gold Hill
NeW8- T1,e fi''ad3J in question were
1 left w'tht a teacher by the recent
' resignation of Vernon G. Blue, who
! accepted a position in Honolulu,
' Through a Portland agency the ap-
plication of Miss Gronell was se
cured and accepted by the school di
rectors. When Monday came and
went without the arrival of the new
schoolma'am, the agency was wired
to explain. In due time the explana
tion arrived, and the quest for an
other teacher was taken up. Miss
Gronell, all fixed out in traveling
togs, suitcase in hand, and trunk
checked to Gold Hill, awaited the
southbound train r,l Portland. Enter
the hero, glancing wildly around.
"Ah, at last! You really aren't go
ing way down to Gold Hill to teach
school, are you?" The reply came
in the affirmative. "Too far away,"
objected the young man. "Why not
cancel your contract with the board
and get married?" The couple made
a happy exit from the depot, time
tables and trains forgotten, to notify
the teachers' agency that sweet fem
ninity had availed itseif of a con
ceded privilege and again changed
its mind.
And that Is why two grades of the
Gold Hill schools luck a regular In

Rest Cough Medicine for Children.
"I am very glad to say a few
words in praise of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy," writes Mrs. Llda
Dewey, Milwaukee, Wis. "I have
used it for years both for my chil
dren and myself and it never fails to
relieve and cure u cough or cold.
No family with children should be
without it as It gives almost imme
diate relief In rases of croup."
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is
pleasant and safe to take, which is of
great importance when a medicine
must be given to young children.
