The Eagle-Eyed and Ever Alert Re

of the Week's Happenings.

Townspeople and Serves Them
Out In Palatable Style,
Mr. G. A. Hover, the gentleman
who received a severe cut in the arm
at the pork oackmc house some weeks
ago, has been having a hard siege with
erysipelas and blood poison the past
week or two. It seems the wound
healed over on the outside too soon and
before the inner parts had been given
sufficient time to heal proparly, result
ing in the wound opening up anew and
worse than at first. The gentleman's
life was despaired of for a few days last
week, but he is now improving and will
probably get around all right again.
although it will be several weeks
fore he can again get to work.
Sutton's Uncle Tom's Cabin Com
pany showed up in Medford last Thurs
day, as per schedule. This company
travels in a special car and carries al
the necessary paraphernalia, including
goats, dogs, ponies, donkeys, negroes
and white people. The entertainment
given in the evening was a pretty good
one of its kind, but was so far from be
ing the original Uncle Tom as to hard
ly be recognized as such. The special
ities added to the play are a redeem
ing feature and it is upon these that
the company's success is expected. The
house receipts were $140.
We are pleased to make mention of
the fact that Mrs. J. A. Slover, who
has oeen ill lor about hve months, is
able to be around again, and last Sun
day waa down to her husband's store,
the first time since the commencement
of her illness. Her trouble was that
of rheumatism, and for a month she
was confined to her bed and during the
other four months was able to be about
the house only by the aid of crutches.
It is needless to say that the Slover-
household is a happy one since the good
lady's recovery.
It is fair enough for one fellow to
laugh at another fellow when he
slips on a banana peel and strikes terra

smilewhen Ed. Parsons rounded the cor

back-Monday afternoon and his horse
slipped and fell flat, with Ed. on the un
der side. Mr. Parson gathered himself
together after the horse had gotten up
and fortunately escaped with only a
sprained ankle and a badly bruised leg.

Mrs. S. W. Speass, who has been

her many friends feel pleased over her
return to good health. Her mother,
Mrs. Edwards, who is eighty-two years

Her malady is but the result of old age

THE TOWN TALKER.
One of the dangers of being or. a pe
destal is that boys will throw things.
But it was not n?c isjary to stand in
a conspicuous place lust Saturday night
to get a wrap in the ueok, or perchance
over your '"other eye." If you didn't
get your hat knocked into a cocked ye.
or your eye knocked into a eoel:ed hat.
it was no fault of the boys. If you
missed one compact misile of the beau
tiful you were u:s to cat'jh another.
No black eyes have resulted for the
reason that the victims retreated and
tho volleys came in from the rear.
Anyone can stand a few broken ribs,
but when the "beautiful snow poet"
perpetrates his lines on the public he
adds suicide to insanity, and the bur
den of life truly overwhelms us.
'"Does your neighbors hens bother
you?'' is a question asked by one of our
exchanges.
No brother, they don't.
As a matter of fact our neighbors hens
and ourselves have always been on the
best of terms. Wo have always had
neighbors, and paradoxical as it may
seem, thay have always had hens, but
they didn't bother us any. We always
treated those hens just like they were
members of our own family, and they
appreciated our kindness and each
laid an egp every day in a nest fixed

The Farmer and Politics.
The prosperity of a farmer to-day de

than on govermcnlai rule. Take seeds
for an example: Many larmers who

things are careless in buying seeds.
Realizing this, D. M. Ferry & Co..
the famous seed firm of Detroit. Mich.,
have embodied in tbeir Illustrated An

tion about seeds and their selection.
It contains the knowledge gleamed from
many years practical experience in the
seed business, and the newest and best
thin about gardens and gardening.
Such a book issuod bv a firm of un
questioned reliability s of the highest
