The Marpby school board is to be congratulated on retaining tbe ser Tioea of Miss Margaret Scovill, the next fire months. Clyde Jeter has leased one of the Jewell-Burkhalter placer claims on Oscar oreek and has everything ready for the first pipe bead. Perry & Osborn have resumed work on the Alder Guloh Mining property, preparatory to erecting a mill, for tbe chemical extraction of gold.

' 'v Now that looks like Easiness, pro. gress and prosperity, to see that creamery machinery go op the river, It will be muob handier for tbe Pro volt farmer to sell his hay to the grocer at so maoh per roll. Mr. uentner wonud up the year with an excellent piece of road work between Mr. Reed's and Mr. Os born s. u yon city tolas want a decent baggy ride, yoo .better ooine ont our way, because we know yon oan't bare it in the oity limits of Grants Pass. 1 Now we're been around soma, but we nerer saw in our life, worse streets than we fiud in oor county seat, the prosperity of the country and the saloon lioense not withstanding. By the death of Frank B. Smith, Mnrphy has lost one of her most re spected oitlaens. Mr. Smith had lived in the neighborhood the pant four years, turning his attention mostly to mining. He was a talented, well read, gentleman aud his pleasant conversation, whether in argument or instruction, will be sad!y mimed by his many frleudi, who now, after his death, remark about his excellent qualities. Why didn't we say those things to Mr. Smith? Why didn't we tell him that we appreciated bis chats and his smiles aud were glad to have him in our midst? Let us re member after this that kind words and boaquets never made a oorpse smile and a pleasant word to the liv ing is worth more than a marble shaft to the dead. He died of heart disease in the Grunts Piihs Hospital, Decem ber 80, at the age of 7(1. His reiuaius, after bolug cremated at Portland, wout east aoooiupauied by Mi son. X. Y. Z. School ErtterteLlnmant, On last Friday, December the 31st Miss Josepliiue Hathaway olosed a successful term of school in school district No. 13. The afternoon exer cises were quite iotareating oousisting of recitations aud goug. The singing reudared by Mr. Bosohart, Mr. Chain plin and daughter, Miss Vernie, was good aud highly appreciated by the audience. There were 17 visitors present, including the outire school boird. Quitel a lively intereit was manifest and the school board showed their approval of Miss Hathaway 's teaching by increasing her wages and engaging her to ooutinue school as long'ai 'the public funds lasted. She gv univorsul satisfaction. A PATRON. The Courier is the farmers' paper of Southern Oregon.

Will Haberman, who bas beon in Portland for some time attending business ' college, is home to spend the holidays with his parents of Laurel Grore. I guess yon all read that article from the pen of E. M. Cookerline, at least I bope yon did, as it is a trne statement of affairs in our district at the present time and I fully agree witb him. Xmas eve was spent at tbe home of Mr. Haberman, Esq., by their many friends of Laurel Grove, who all wisb them a Happy New year. The evening was spent with moslo and games until midnight, when tbe gnests all su down to a table loaded witb thine earthly bonnties.

Basye, Ike Vincent and Bartie Daridson were all risitors from here to your city this week. , I do not think that it will be long now before we can hear the whistle of tbe engine in the creamery at Piovolt and maybe about 3 :30 in the morning we can hear a sleepy sound of the farmers, saying "So Boss I" I wonder when "Jumbo" is going to bring my mail over to me? I was in bopes that he was going to do so, bat from the way tbat tie wrote last week I will still have to go after it R. F. D. is what we want. ' Guy Jeter, who has been down at Fort Jones, Cal., working at the Sheba mine for the last nine months, is np in this country to spend the holidays. He says the mine where he has been working has shnt down for about three weeks so tbat they can install electrio power. ' C. J. Jeter, who is one of the owners . of the famous New Pin oreek mines near Fort Bidwell, Cal., has leased one of the lower olaims on Oscar Creek this Winter and is now busily engaged hauling pipe for tbe mine. It is a good mine and we all hop to see Clyde clean np a lot of tbe Yellow metal in the Spring. There seems to be a good deal said in the Courier about our roads ooi here on Aprlegate now. Why not let me say something, too? I will say that we have got one of the beat roads overseers in tbe ooonty as every pieoo of road that he works on is done when he leaves it. . Lots of road supervisors do a little work here and a little there and tbat is the last of it for several years. Now Mr. Gentner has dons work on this road that will last for many years and it is well done too. MONYT. NEW HOPE Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We are having quite a lot of bad weathor at present. " Mr. O. E. Walter visited with his grandmother last Saturday." Osayt How about j. the telephone? Don't hear anything about it lately. Ed Hathaway and daughter of Dry- deu visited witb relatives at this plaoe Friday. The bad roads of this district are due to the same being too large for one supervisor to attend to. Miss Dora York at Davidson is stay ing with her sister this Winter during Mr. Messinger'a absence at San Fran cisco. Miss Josephine Hathaway of Dry- den, Oregon, closed a successful term of school at this plaoe last Friday and bsglns another the 7th of January. Miss Hathaway well deserves credit for her good work done here. Well, I suppose some think tbat I bave forgotten that I ever wrote items but I have not; only notioed that the editor requested the correspondents to write their own name as well as their non do plume and I couldn't get my name right like Monty. It seems like if the taxpayers of this oommunity wonld do more work on the road than they have, it would be better than it woold to petti tion for new roads. SHORTY. Ballard's Hwehound Syrup.
