Nealon stock yards consigned to the San Fran cisco markets' and 100 feeder lambs from the Ben Dawson band being pastured on the J. S. Richardson farm and consigned to the auction yards at Roseburg. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Doty, operators of the Doty poultry farm, were; delightfully surprised on awakening, Saturday to find as guests their three- children who had slipped in during the night and quietly gone to .bed unaware to the Doty's. The chil dren. Mrs. Delmar Dooley of Lakeview, and Mrs. Mary Bun ten and Stanley Doty of Carson City, Nev., had made the long trip and surprise visit to help their parents . celebrate their g-olden wedding anniversary Which was Saturday, Nov. 13. David Doran, the Medford bar ber and former Table Rock resi dent who was seriously injured in a logging truck and car colli sion last Thursday in Medford is reported to be doing as well as could be expected. Sonny Doran as he is known here, partly be cause of his sunny disposition and because he is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Doran, grew up in our community arid his many friends are hoping for his speedy recovery with no bad after effects developing. Last week a wrecking crew tore down and burned the old farm house and other farm build ings on the Orville Hamilton farm. As to the age of the house school records show that the Grisham children attended school here in the spring of 1904, so 'the house must have been built sometime prior to and close to that date. When Mr. and Mrs. D. N. Grisham purchased the place. The south end was' set to apple trees and the house was built to be used as a dwelling only until the orchard come into bearing then it was to be used as a packing house and a new business not proving very profit able the place was later sold and has changed hands several times since, with the orchard gradually disappearing and now only a few .trees are left along the .line fence. - r ....

Darriell Shepard, a former G. I. farm school instructor here, but now operator of a Grade A dairy at Eugene was a brief visi tor last Friday at the Bill Bishop home. Speaking of the repeal of the milk bill he said it may not be as bad for the dairymen as many believed as through better cooperation among the dairymen the price may be kept stablized. The greater threat, as he sees it, may come from the shipping of surplus and lower grade milk from- Washington and California. MAIL TRIBUNE last Thursday. Other studio ex ecutives said they were "too shocked" to comment , on his death last night. Darryl F. Zanuck, production he?d of 20th Century Fox Studios, said Barrymore was "in every respect a worthy member of the royal family of the acting profession. He was one of the most illustrious actors and a grand person." Joseph M. Schenck, president of the Fox Corporation, said "There can be nothing but sor row in the heart of everyone in Hollywood." "Greater even than-the ad miration for his acting was the love that everyone in the show world felt for him as a kindly gentleman," Schenck said. Writer Cameron Shipp, with whom Barrymore collaborated on his autobiography in 1951, called Lionel "the greatest of the Barrymores." "I never knew a man who was more cultured in as many fields as Mr. Barrymore,'' the writer said. Jack Warner Shocked " Jack L. -Warner, chief of Warner Bros.
