To be extravagant is to spend more than one’s income justifies, and to overlook the claims of the future in gratifying the demands of the present. Thousands of us are so extravagant at Christmas that we pay the penalty in inconvenience and imbarrassment during the rest of the winter. To sound a note of warning, to intimate a caution, is to make one's self unpopular. The fact is that there ought to be a good deal more independence on this whole subject, and that people should ha.ve the courage of their convictions in the matter of Christmas presents. To bestow a gift on one we love and to make children beatifically happy is a l>eautifiil thing and in consonance with the real Christmas feeling. But by de grees the custom has grown and ampli fied until it has become burdensome, and a good deal of the heart has gone out of it. A good time to make a start is the present. Eliminate from the Christmas schedule the name of every one to whom you were intending to send a perfunctory gift, or a gift that you supposed might lie an exchange. Next, decide definitely how much you can rightly spend, and limit your gifts to that amount. Then, leave out the grown people, and lavish your Christmas bounty on the children— not only on your own children, but on the poor and the desolate.—December Woman’s Home Companion. Jacksonville engine Co.

Supt. Daily was elect ed President, Prof. Robbins Vice Presi dent and G. W. Milam, of Ashland, Sec retary. The organization will meet every month, the next meeting being held at Central Point on Saturday December 31st. IROM THE SOUTHERN OREGONIAN Mr. Geo. Eads and Miss Anna Wilson, both of Medford ’ were married at the eourt house last week. Mark B. Whipple, the expert miner, is located in Jacksonville for the winter, in which vicinity he is engaged in mining. The report that Wm. Bybee had sold that part of his possessions lying in An telope district, comprising a large area al land, is premature. He expects to do so, however, and is making preparations therefore. H. D. Kubli of Applegate this week sold a bunch of fine cattle to Mitchell, the well-known stockbuyer, which were recieved by A. F. Hunt. He is feeding quite a number tor the winter market. O. C. Sheldon, who lives near Eagle Point, was in Medford one day this week. He informs us that John I)om- agolia who has the Britt farm rented, lately had a fine colt killed by a hunter. Such careless acts should be severely punished. Reddy & Ragsdale, landlords of Hotel Nash, have furnished twelve rooms in the upper story of Wilkinson’s building on Front street, in order to accommodate those who cannot be taken care of in the main building. They will also fit up several rooms handsomely, which will lie appreciated by many of their transient customers. W.O. Smith, editor of the Klamath Falls Republican, and Miss Jessie Apple gate, youngest daughter of Capt. I. D. Applegate, were married Dec. 4th by Judge Benson. They will indulge in a wedding trip, during which time Paul Delany, the popular writer, will have editorial charge of Bro. Smith's newspaper. A host of friends wish the young couple much happiness and pros perity. At the last meeting of Jane McCully Cabin, N. D. O., held on the evening of Dec. "th, the following officers were elected for the ensuing term: President, Amelia Britt;vice-presidei<t, Alice Ulrich; 1st vice-president, Frances Donegan; 2nd vice-president, Ella Orth; secretary, Effie Prim; treasurer, Ella Cook; marshal, Kate Cronemiller. It has a large mem bership and is in a flourishing condition. Gathers Grapes in December. On the first day of December C. H. Sampson picked from a 15 year old vine on his place north of town, Id crates of grapes holding 25 pounds. Two of these he kept for his own use and sold the other eight crates at <1 each. Up to this time there had been no frost and the fruit was in perfect condition. Mr. Sampson has about 80 vines of this planting. When Mr. Sampson begun the work years ago of cleaning off this hillside farm, the work was regarded dubiously by most of the residents. Its success, however is shown by the result and the example is of great value in showing the possibilities of much of the Southern Oregon land that now lies idle. His land is situated on the south slope near the foot of the mountain some three miles north of town and is protected from the early morning sun by a moun tain on the east. This protection, with the elevation which the place has, is a frost insurance that is remarkable effec tive in the early spring toward a sure crop of ¡leaches, almonds, and other fruits, which are liable to blossom at a dangerously early period. Grapes on this land are an especially good crop, as the instance of gathering f 10 worth of the fruit from a single vine shows beyond any necessity of argument. The Sentinel gives the mining news.
