STEDTORT! MATE TKTBTJNE", mJFORDV tn?EG75!T, FRTDTT. " "DECETirBEK 7, TflKT PATFE THREE CENTRAL POINT. Dee. 7. The work of erectiug the new gymnasium is progressing quite rapidly, to this time, and if the weather continues as I favorable as it has been for 'Working I conditions the building will be finish led within' a month, probably less. The j contractors, F. Clark and F. Southwell, ibave been rushing the work right along, till now the' walls are boarded, the Inner stage partly made ready for completion, and the supports for the floor laid. The . gymnasium, when completed will be a very well appear ing building and a credit to the city. The Central Point High school com bination football team Journeyed once more to Rogue river, where they met the team of that city in a very inter , estlng and exciting game of succer. : This was - a post season game. ' The 'outcome was very different than the ; two previous clashes, which were in favor of Rogue river, but this time the tide turned and Central Point carried the honors with a score of nine to five, the local team having the lead throughout the entire game. Although the team did not manage to carry off the championship, they made a good, a- very good Bhowing indeed. Basket ball training has already started off, undoubtedly all the honors of that Hport will be held by this school at the close of this season, 'Mrs. Smith, a representative of 'an art Institute, presented the student body of the high school with an ad- idrnss upon the principles of paints 'nnd how to use them. Primarily the object oK her address was to create Interest in painting among the stu dents, so that they would start to think more of that field. Secondar ily so they might, attend her classes to be given here this summer, during! the month of June from the 8th to the 12th. j A large number of members of the local lodge of Rebekabs were present, ait the district convention held fit Grants Pass. Saturday night of last 'week. ; The dwelling house formerly ten anted by Mr. and Mrs. Cummlnga for the past four or five years, was mov 1 ed from the corner of Pine and Fourth ; to the south end of the same block. I The dwelling was moved In order that 'the corner It formerly occupied might be used for the new service Btatlon to be erected, there soon by Kenneth Beebe and Merle Kindle, the proprie tors of. the Central Point Service sta ; Hon on West Main Btreet. The cor ner will be ideal for just such an es tablishment in all senses of the word as it is the best corner in the city. Mrs. Mary Hesselgrava was called to rest on Friday last', November 30th, at her home In this city at the age of seventy and eight years, one month and twenty-eight days. . The dear lady had been sick tor over a niontb; suf fering from paralysis, vainly did shefl try to deprive death of Its goal but all in vain. In England, In Cornwall was she born on the second day of Octo ber, 1845. For seven years of her child hood she had lived there, and then she with her folks came over to America and settled in Illinois for some time, after living there she and her hus band, John Hesselgrave, now deceas ed for five years, came to Oregon and settled in this city, residing for over 32 year or more. To mourn her unre placable loss she leaves three child ren, Mrs. Effie - Mee 4 of Applegate, Fred Hesselgrave, and John Hessel grave, all of this ' city, and -besides many grandchildren and even great grandchildren to the number of nine. Her passing was very deeply mourned by her friends, of which she had a host. She had always been active In church affairs and was a devout mem ber of the Methodist church. "She will be gone from our midst, but never for gotten." The 'annual election of the Wo man's Relief Corps took place last Sat urday. Among the .'Officers chosen was Mrs. Cummlngs as president for the Insulng year. The Installation will take place during the next month.; , Mr. L. F. Pickett returned last Sat urday from a business trip to Butte Falls. . . Mr. Crasher of this city was the victim of an automobile accident that happened on Han ley Hill, between this city and Jacksonville. Mr. Crasher was riding a horse and was holding In his arms two puppies and leading a (log behind him. Mr. John Dugan of Sams Valley for some unavoidable reason or other collided with the horse, with such an Impact that the hood of the automobile carried; the horse for more than 30 feet One of the puppies was killed, and for Mr. Crasher, his leg' was broken In two places, it is understood. At the pres ent time he is resting at his home. Mr. and Mrs. Hanks are planning to spend the winter In California and will leave in a short time. They are con nected with the Southern Oregon Clay Works and have been for some time past. As yet the factory has not started the unit jn which they are connected, that Is the pottery unit,, making vases, antiques and various other things. They have been turning' out some very fine specimens such as book holders, ash trays, Incense burn ers and novelties, with what material they have at present. They have .put them on exhibition at Paxson's drug store where they are for sale at the same time. Lester Mann left last Wednesday a week ago for Los Angeles, California, to at least spend the winter with his brother Oliver, residing in that city. He will be employed while driving In there. Miss Carlton presented an address before the student body of the. local school concerning the sale of Christ mas Seals in this community during the coming weeks before Christmas. She' requested that the high school students take charge of the sale and carry It on In the city, along with the help of the grades. . No other cause deserves more support than this, which does so much to alleviate the suffering among the sick and needy of tho land and within the community. She cited facts that had already been done to stamp the dread scourge of tuberculosis out of existence, all made possible through the sale of the seals. A goal has been set for which to work, It is a prize to the person who sells the most seals and no doubt through this a great number- will be distributed throughout t the community. Every body should give this their most hear ty support . " The ticket sale has started for the presentation of the play "Nothing But the Truth," to be given on the four teenth of this month. It will he pre sented by the Alumni along with the help of several high school students. The plot is very Interesting and cen ters about the fact that a man has been give na large sum of money If he would only tell nothing but the truth for a certain length of time. The situations "arising from this, form the action of the play. T-he proceeds of it will be given to the gymnasium fund, for the equipping of the same. The prices have been moderately placed. Mr. and. Mrs.' Henry C. .Everhnrd moved into the city the first of the week from Agate. Mr. and Mrs. Everhard were recently united in marriage, the date being last Wed nesday,' November 28, and took plnce at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs.- John Hoffman, residing at Agate, . Mr. . F. R. Leach of Medford was the clergyman, who officiated at the ring ceremony, which was used. Among the Central Pointers being present were Mr. and Mrs. George Marine, Mr. and Mrs. Stevens and the Misses Bernice and Mildred Burger. While supper was served at the wed ding a group of a dozen or more merry makers, appeared on the scene to chlvlarl the happy couple, after a short time they too were served sup per. ' This group also Included several young persons from Central Point. The fire alarm rings so very Bel dom, that when it does ring it sounds like ' forgotten ' muBlc. -However, on Wednesday, It ' rang to spread the alarm of fire at the home of Mr. George ' Marine. Of dangerous nature it was not. but If It had not been dis covered serious results . would have have ensued. As It was only the flue was blazing high when, the fire de partment arrived -on the scene, the hose was not even coupled to tho hy drant, in such an efficient wanner dlti the company work, after a short time all danger was past In the matter of fires the elly is very fortunate, few oc curring here as compared with some cities this size. Mrs. C. S. Lammey is planning to open up business offices in Central Point in the near future; being con nected with a large company of the east. ... Mr. Paul NUzschke of Fordvllle, N. D., is now visiting his sister, Mrs. K. Eldridge, and has been for some time.
