Central Point Notes


store, accepted position of like ma
ture in Marshfield and left for that
place Saturday night. Mr.. Owen is
well known in Central Point and vi
cinity, having spent the greater part
of his life here. Nearly everyone in
Central Point claims the honor of be-
ing Mr.. Ovens friend, and to say
that he will be greatly missed here
does not express the regret that his
departure causes. The best wishes
of every man, woman and child of
the community follows this man to
his new home
A large number of sad but proud
parents and admiring friends accom-
panied our soldier boys to Medford
Sunday morning and watched them
depart with the 7th company for their
new headquarters. When the spec
ial train bearing its precious cargo
of Rogue River valley boys passed
through Central Point many men,
women, young girls and children
cheered, waved their handkerchiefs
and tried to smile through their tears
at our noble boys. Central Point is
very proud of her young soldier boys.
They are the finest, the cleanest and
the best boys to he found anywhere,
and while they will be greatly missed
here and deep pangs of regret and
shudders of what the future may
bring forth are felt, we can not do
anything less than commend and ad-
mire the spirit which prompted our
sons, brothers and friends to rush to
the aid of our country. Three cheers
for our brave boys, and may the fu-
ture bring forth as many rich rewards
of their toll as the past.
