(By A. C. Howlett.)
M. L. Dally sold his building to
Mr. Trunncll, of Grants Pass last
summer and slnco then has been clo
Jng on, and expects to Icavo herv.
greatly to the regrets of tbi'lt neigh
bors, for Sir. and Mrs. Dally have al
ways been Important factor In every
thing that Is going on in our town
that is for the betterment of tho com
munity. Hay Antipole, who bought the hard
ware business of 1 Salter has had n
neat slgu painted on the front part of
his store.
The city dads havo had a sidewalk
put down on tho south side of tho
creek from tho wagon bridge past the
New York store and church most of
tho way to the school house and then
extended it on to tho corner of the
old Hoblnctt place and have put in
street crossings so that pedestrians
can get along without going In the
mud.
I understand that Mrs. J. W. Grov
or Is circulating a petition to havo
tho sidewalk extended from tho
wagon brldgo down South Main street
to tho lower end of town.
I learned a short time ago that
Mr. It. C. Lawton had purchased the
knock down bouse of Mr. Salter be
fore ho left and has moved Into it.
I see that our old friend Mr. Cool
oy has been appointed as town mar
Hlinll for our town. A good appolnt
nnont. Ho Is also Janitor for the
school and between the two positions
can keep busy.
Mr. Vocal i, our saloon man, has
moved Into one of the James Owens'
hoiiKCK on the Sunny Side of the
creek.
Last Wednesday tho Ladles' Aid
society had their semi unnual sale
and gave a dinner In the Baglo Hotel,
the friends und members of tho so
ciety donated the provisions and
cooked them and the use of the hah
Is donated and the ladles, with the
help of what men they can press
into service do the work such as ar
ranging tho tablos, waiting on tho
guests, etc., and tho proceeds are di
vided between tho church and the
town, ono half to each. They hue
coedud In selling everything at u
good prlco and realized sixty dollars
for their trouble.
Our telophono office, I understand
Is to bo movod again In a short time,
as soon as tho company can secure a

Clemlngs has been buying up shares

DIED.
A. J. Stewart, well known in Mod
fonl, died at Snnta Hnrbarn, Calif.,
Dee. 0. Mr. Stewart lived in Cottage
Grove, Ore., with hi son nnd wns
in Medford a few week ngo on his
way to California. He is'n brother
of P. M. Stewart of Knglc Point nnd
hits n son living in the valley.
When a Medford cltlsen comes to
the front, telling his friends nnd
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The state
ments of people reldlng In far away
places do not command your confi
dence. Home endorsement Is the'
kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills, j
Such testimony Is convincing. In
vestigation proves It true. Holow Is
a statement of n Modfonl resident.
No stronger proof of merit can bo
had.
W. P. Gould, 113 W. Jackson St..
Medford, Ore., says: "I used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Haskln's
drug store, and amplcased to say
that they hae given me moro relief
than any other kidney medlcluo I

my family have also used Doan's
Kidney Pills and tho results havo
been so satisfactory that I do not
hesitate ono moment In giving this
