To lomt of mm old Pioneer Thli gathering la our laat. We hope to meet old Pioneers All safely on that shore Tea, everyone of our loved band, To live forevermore. (By Dirk Appleffiite) Ghosta walked In Jacksonville yes terday. The memory ghosta of the early daya when Med ford was atlll many year In the future, and thou sands of dollars' worth of gold a dny were being taken from the hills where the town of Jacksonville now ' stands. Memories of long treks acrosi the platna which terminated at the then young and vIrotous mlntng town. Memories of the first effort at aelf-govemment, the vlgllanto committees, the hardships endured In crushing Crimea such as rustling, claim Jumping and horse stealing. The 68 th annual reunion of the pioneers of southern Oregon waa huge success. The town of Jackson ville waa young again. Once more the flagstone walks, the horses and buggies, the mines, the banks, the general stores, the music and gayety seemed to rule. Men wno knew the town aa It was then Ignored the sleepy atmosphere of the present tiny and to them It was one thrilling, far- flung frontier cf their boyhood. Im aginations flickered. Old tired tyi grew young ngnln, and old tired la dle and gentlemen grew young again Old gentlemen tapped their canes And turned their thoughts back through the years. Old eyes sparkled, aa old wars and dangers were re membered, and related. Young gentlemen tapped their feet, and turned their whole attention to the stories that unfolded before their eyes. Young eyes sparkled a the ever new struggle to exist oml enjoy life waa recounted by those who have the r ght to advise. Old ladles rocked In their chairs and talked happily of the pies they used to bake, of the meals they used to cook for their tired men who wero busy wresting what Is now the ftogue valley from the wilderness. Old lu dlos wistfully recalled the olden times, when dunces In the town hali were event to be talked about for months before and after. Young ladles sat primly on the edges of their chair and listened happily to the words of wisdom their grandmothers had to any on the arts of baking, sewing, and making happy homes. Young ladles wistfully lived with the old ladlea through the ex citing parties of that day and inquired about the fashions of that now far. way time. Now the story would be told of the cougar that was treed and shot, After killing a calf, In what la now the city park at Ashland. That waa ' when there waa but one house In the own. Then the story, surprising and al most unbelievable, told by F. D. Swingle. That venerable gentleman waa born In Jackson county, reared In Jackson county, married In Lake county and brought up his family there. He now Uvea with his family In Klamath county and has nevor lived In any but the one house In .which he was brought up I Of all the pioneer who were char ter members of the auocatlon, only 03 remain! Only two wore present At the meeting yesterday; Mrs. Owen, the oldest pioneer present, and Mis. pwin Butler, The years are toklng their toll of the fine old people, but their apirit marches on, unquench able. Their numbers are fewer, their bodies are feebler, but their enjoy ment of life, thtlr Interests and their enthusiasms are aa young as ever. The spirit of the last old timers la beautifully expressed in the following poem, written for the Pioneers' re union September IS, 1863, by Mrs. J. M. McCully, who was one of the five women In the first train of nine wagons to arrive in Jacksonville: PIONKKKS SONO (Tune: "Aula fcang Byne") Should old times ever be forgot, And never called to mind? We'll yearly meet in friendship aweet, For the early days lang syne." Twas here we met aa Pioneers, O'er thirty years ago; We pitched our tents, staked off our claims. Prepared to mine and sow. Together dangers here w met, Beset by savage foos; Together in this far-off land We shared our Joys and woe, Today we meet with glowing hearts, To clasp the hard-worn hands That tolled and fought In bygone years, And conquered aavage bands. Our valley teems with beauty now, Great plenty crowns our cheer; Olve honor to whom honors' due The brave old Pioneer. Where'er we go In after life, We never can forget The tried old friends of early days. As Pioneers we met. IT CERTAINLY FOOLED ME!
