The seamy side of Christmas might be
characterized best as Christmas folly. 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

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.
