Received Two Boxes of Pears From Former Editor.

Two boxes as pears were received Thursday by the publishers of The Republican from George E. Marshall, formerly editor of this paper and now engaged in fruit farming at Medford Oregon. The pears had been Included in a car load shipped to Chicago and were expressed from there. They are not yet entirely ripe but will be before long. Each is wrapped in paper, according to the method employed in the fruit growing countries. They are large, smooth grained and free from blemish, being all hand picked and carefully handled. That they will he much enjoyed when they ripen and that the kind remembrance is greatly appreciated by the recipients goes without saying and it is hoped that an abundant crop with a big price will be his annual portion.
