Peninger died at his home near Tolo, last Saturday morning, after a short illness, aged 50 years, 4 r.onths and 24 days. Deceased was a native son o f Jack- son county, having been bom on the same farm on which he died on Feb ruary 13, 1856, and at the time of his death he was next to the oldest native son of the county. He was well known as a citizen and respected as a man and a neighbor. His wife died several years ago, and three children, two sons and one daughter, none of whom have yet attained their majority, are left to mourn his loss. He was a member o f the Knights of Pythias and Workmen orders and the funeral, which was held Sunday at 12:30, was in charge of the members of these orders. A short service was held at the home, the interment being made at the Jacksonville cemetery. Hodges Daniel Hodges, an old and respected resident of the Agate country, died at his home near that place, Friday, July 6, 1906, aged about 74 years. The funeral took place Saturday at 10 a. m., interment being made in Sam’s valley cemetery. The object o f all development leagues is to induce immigration of good citizens from the eastern states to the Rogue River Valley. ' ; ; Hop Gold Boer ¡i Strictly Straight The Rogue River Land Co. has been a pioneer in this devel opment business, having made the first move in the valley to in duce desirable immigrants to re move here and to partake of our advantages and climate. In the last two years we have located a large number of the best citizens to be found in the valley. Cen tral Point has attracted many of them. The Rogue River Land com pany guarantees fair treatment to its customers. We will in a short time again send a man east to extol the merits of this sec tion. Give us a credit mark and boost our way.

Deceased was a native of Maine, but came to this valley about 21 years ago. He had made a stady of fruit growing for years and on coming to this coun try he at once recognized its possibili ties in that direction and at once en tered that business on an extensive scale. Five years after arriving here he shipped the first carload o f fruit ever shipped from this county and five years later his shipments for the year reached 95 cars. He was a prominent member o f the Masonic fraternity, that order having had charge of the funeral services, which took place at Medford Monday afternoon at 2 o ’clock.
