Co. Supt. AN OLD LAND-MARK GONE.
An object which has been familiar to the older residents of Wagner Creek for the last thirty years, yields to the iconoclastic spirit of improvement. The west half of the octagonal house formerly owned by Welborn Beeson is being demolished by the present owner, J. E. Foss preparatory to erecting a new residence on the site. The east half remains but will improved beyond recognition. Geo. H. Lynch has purchased the J. B. Dyer blacksmith shop at Talent and rented it to Ole Mickelson, an experienced workman. C. K. Klum will henceforth conduct business on a strictly cash-down system. A good idea. The credit system is a greater curse to the people in general than all the big monopolies combined and goodness knows they are bad enough. Sam'l Stevens and Luella Sherman arrived yesterday from Klamath county. Their trip across the mountain was anything but delightful. MATRIMONIAL.
Samuel Philips, the blind man, has been singing of late: "O. I would like to marry,He has found her -- Mrs. Menerva Bell of Medford. The wedding took place at Grants Pass on the 18th ult. They will live in Jacksonville. Just at present they are supposed to be the happiest couple in Southern Oregon. May their honeymoon be cloudless. Henry Hanson and his young bride, nee Miss. Nora Webster, have moved onto their farm four miles east of Medford. Having unusual industry and perseverance as a mutual endowment, our young friends set out on the matrimonial turnpike with the brightest prospects of success. We pronounce them a model couple, and if the Fates do not decree otherwise, their life's journey together will be a pleasant one. They have our best wishes. J. C. Whipp, of Jacksonville, contributes to the News an elegantly finished imposing stone. Friend Whipp appreciates the News and it [is] needless to say that the news appreciates the gift. IF.
If this government were an absolute monarchy and if the editor of the news were chief boss, we should at once issue order No. 237 as follows: Any person who wilfully and with malice aforethought allows his razor-back, tree climbing and fence breaking swine to run at large in the public highway shall by counted guilty of a crime against his neighbors, and such person shall he fined for the first offense not less than $1500, nor more than $15,000; and for the second offense imprisoment in the state penetentiary for a term of not less than twenty five nor more than one hundred years. Selah. Henry Robison and Mrs. Marcia Robison called at the News office a few days since. |
