IN MEMORIUM
Mrs. A. B. Gillam
On Tuesday, Fcbruarj' 20, 1912, at
2:15 a. m., Mrs. A. E. Gillam, mother
of Mrs. W. S. Hammond, passed
peacefully away at the homo of Mr.
and Mrs. Hammond, aged 75 years,
1 month and 2 days. Deceased was
born, educated and grew to woman
hood In Indiana, and at tho age of
24 tfaa married to John W. Gillam
In her native state. In 1S4G they
moved to Iowa, and In 1890 to Den
ver, Colo., and In about seventeen
years returned to Iowa, locating at
Lohrvlllo.
To them were bom two sons and
f one daughter ono son, W. J. Gillam
of Lohrvlllo, la., and Mrs. W. S.
Hammond of this city, together with
three sisters and three brothers, sur
vlvo her.
Her husband preceded her a lit
tlo over a year ago to tho beautiful
beyond. Mrs. Gillam came to Med
ford last March and after three
months visit went to Los Angeles,
Cal., and from there last fall to
Idaho, making all theso trips by her
self. Sho was taken sick in Idaho and
was brought to this city by her
granddaughter, Mrs. Vail, arriving
hero January 6, 1912. Sho contin
ued to grow weaker until the end.
Mrs. GHIam united with tho Chris
tian church in tho tender years of
her life and continued her member
ship until her death. She was a firm
believer in the word of God and a
devoted wlfo and a loving mother.
Beautiful oil paintintgs of her own
work are highly prized in tho homo
of her children. Her friends were
warmly attached to her. When
neariug tho end she expressed her
self as being ready to go. With her
tho great buttle of Ufa has been
fought and Bho passed through tho
gatos beautiful and 1b today rejoic
ing In the paradise of God. Sho will
ho missed but our tears aro not
tears of sorrow. Wo should take
the comfort which our faith In Christ
offers and bellevo that death is swal
lowed up of life.
Funeral services were hold Wed
nesday at 2 o'clock p. m. at tho
Hammond homo conducted by Itov.
D. 8. Wood, who prcuched a sermon

THE AUTOMOBILE,
BORN of the spirit of the
horses of old Pharaoh
bo
quickened at a touch until it springs across tho earth
lightning's sueed. the automobile now takes its place
nt 1
.," . 1 . ' i rt
as tne nuniuie servant ol manivinu. jlu is a sviuimuu.v ui
wood and metal. Combustion's strength is married in it
to the flight of light itself. The poetry of motion is its
own, and every curve and feature breathes with the pulse
of distance lessened. Responsive as the gentlest steed,
patient as the stile, certain as the tides and swifter than
the stag, this modern mechanism of service will stand a
fitting climax of transportation for a hundred years to
come.
Motoring is something more than a fad. It is a mental
condition produced by experiencing an undreamt sensa
tion. It is a sort of disease, incurable, harmless and pro
gressive caused by a germ of delight. It is a new world
opened up to view at a time when the old world was begin
ning to pall.
He has not discovered all of his faculties of delight who
has not motored. There is still within him, dormant, a
million nerve centers yet to be made to thrill with life and
love if he has not sped over city street and country road in
an automobile. It is the safest, sanest pleasure that has
been invented since first some daring savage hollowed out
a log and rode upon the current of a rippling stream. It
is the most economical mode of locomotion that has been
devised since man first tied
patient oxen and made them drag his burdens.
It is as healthful as the sun and air. For luxuriousness
and ease and comfort the motor car is incomparable. A
ride upon the wings of night could be no more enchanting.
Onlv the fur-clad native of the frozen north, skiing down
the mountain side like a flash of light across the glisten
ing snow can approximate the joy of him who sees mile
after mile of space torn off and hurled into the teeth of
the past as he speeds his car across the country. Only the
roaming gods of space can appreciate the soothing com
fort that comes to him who holds within his hand the
strength of forty horses and the speed of a flight of swal
lows. Prom a toy or plavthing the automobile has stepped
into the garb of servant to
the race. It has broadened
from improving the public highway to the refashioning of
a timepiece.
Being herself a product ot the best there is in modern
civilization it was natural that Medford would be the
leading city in the United States in the ownership of these
sjiacc annihilators. Per capita Medford owns more
machines hp.n any other city, says the census report.
In no other city are there more progressive automobile
dealers and agents. The business has grown until no
dealer can hope to corner it. The selection of a car has
come to be a matter largely of personal taste or personal
acquaintance with the dealer. There arc no gold bricks
sold in the shape of an automobile.
Thousands of feet of floor space in showrooms are de
voted to the distribution of motors in this city. The cap
ital required is a guarantee of the solidity of the business.
Aggressive men are handling the trade. Competent
"help" is employed. The selling cost has been reduced to
a minimum. Medford takes her place at the head of the
list.
Marvel of the ages ! Perfection of human skill !
Taking the dusty highways as the eaglets take the air;
winding its way to the top of the steepest hill or dashing
across the sandiest plain; a gleam of motion and a glow
of graceful curves a restful recreation or a toiling beast
of burden the automobile is enshrined in the hearts of
knowing men and women the gift of genius to the child
of thrift.
