1 MM IMM 1 1 OHA. Tablets lr I. E. Tribune TlMa On the morning of the big smudge, things looked rather gloomy In this neck of the woods. The sky was black, the lawns and shrubbery white with frost and the temperature at a winter time low. We were beginning to feel a little pity for those who might have neglected keeping their heating materials intact, thinking maybe spring was here. At this point our better halt remarked that the fur nace wasn't burning as it should, and then a cold breeze began coming up through the floor register. We went out and tapped on the fuel tank and found we were the ones who needed pity. The tank was empty. Our oil man had failed to deliver, which is unusual for him as he gen erally Is "Johnny on the spot" and flits ill the containers he can find that have an opening large enough to get the hose into. As we had plenty of wood and a fireplace, we didn't suffer too much, however. Last Monday, we visited the historic town of Jackson ville as we knew it. It is now a city. Many of the build ings and the people we knew and remember so well are missing. Many of their names are on tombstones In the beautiful cemetery on the hill. We did meet one old timer, Ryan, and had a most interesting time talking over old times with. htm. He told us that Chris Kinney, whom we would have liked to have met, Is not very well, and is staying with his sister in Medford. Jacksonville Museum Revisited A visit to the museum revealed many new exhibits and pictures that had been installed since we were there last. There la so much to see there, much of it taking one back to the mining days of '49. The only fault we can find is that when you start looking, there seems to be no place to quit, and we stay too long and then don't see half we would like. Since we are writing about Jacksonville, this clipping taken from the Southern Oregon Mall of June 20, 1892, and datelined, Sams Valley, Ore., might be interesting to old timers. As the -communication Is a full column length we can only give excerpts taken from it. "Editor Southern Oregon Mail: An examination of the returns of the late election as given In your last issue is interesting and instructive. It clearly proves certain mat ters that were charged against the old parties during the canvass. There if evidence to prove what the Peoples party assert that there is a Demo-Republican ring in Jacksonville, who select the men on both tickets who are to be elected or defeated, and whose sole object is to secure men who will help keep alive Jacksonville ana pay tribute to the ring. This thing will go on until the other towns In the county unite with the old hayseeds and smash the ring that fattens at our expense, and atttempts by crying stop thief to direct attention from those in possession of the plunder." Recollections of the "Ring" We remember well of the so-called Jacksonville ring. Charles Nickell was reported to be one of the lead ers. He published the Jacksonville Times, a weekly news paper. He later got Into trouble with Uncle Sam who claimed he was implicated in some land fraud scheme where out of the state crooks paid the cost of filing claims In the Elk Creek area to persons who, after prov ing up, were to sell the land to them for a very nominal price. Nickell published the notices of proof for them, but claimed he was Innocent of any intentional wrong doing. The usual Easter Sunday increase in attendance was noted at the local Sunday School, with white shirts and stiff collars adorning the men and boys, with bright new gowns and flowery headgear worn by the ladies and young girls. An appropriate program tor the occasion was given and the customary Easter hunt tor the young sters was held, with eggs from the Guy Nelson farm. Thought for the day "There is no limit to the amount of good a person can do if he doesn't care who gets the credit."
