The glorious Indian Summer still continues
Frosty nights, and bright, clear days, have beer
the rule for some time. The Indian Summer,
many years ago were as lovely as this, with thl
exception that they were generally smoky
caused by the burning of the newly fallen leaves
when the coantry was mostly woods.
This beautiful weather is the time to get your
Winfpr hn hc no in
lentcondltion. Also, get your kindling wood
ready, your stable in good order, and make
everything comfortable for man and beast that
when the cold weather sets in, you will have
little to do but feed your stock and read The
Bible and the Jackson Standard.
Nearly year ago the town authorities com
menced grading the streets of Jackson, and cu
down Broadway ON the south east side of the
Public Square some ten feet. Last spring the
north east side of the Public Square was cu
down, up to the stone wall at the end of the
Court House. The wall is giving away, and II
is feared that theCourt House itself will be in
tured. Last week the door at the end of the hal
of the Court House was nailed up, as 1t was fear
ed that passing In and out might 9injure tn,
stone wall. There is wrong some where. Is 1
right for the town authorities TO dig down The
Court House, which cost the people of the couf.
ty thirty thousand dollars? We have one o
the best Court Houses in Southern Ohio. Can
not the county Commissioners make those whc
have endangered the Court House PERSONAL,
responsible7 We had supposed that the Cour
House and the Public Square belonged to tn,
people of the whole county, and not to the towr
officials.
