GAINESVILLE, o., January 20.
The sensation of the week has
been the entertainment of the Tom
Young Guards, military organl.
zation which came into oelag
about the time that Ohio felt grateful
to her Governor for the manner in which
he had managed the strikers at Newark
and elsewhere IN the State. GAINESVILLE
expressed her appreciation by embsIming
his name in her military annals, though
now it looks like they ought to have been
called the Bishop Bazouks in honor OF
the rising instead of the setting sun.
Well, the Quarts had dramatic en-
tertainment, in which the "bIdden
Hand" was the chief feature, day OF
drama without one glow of fun to light
en- the dreary monotopy. 1t Is Isyiors
Hand" ard not Southworth's, which Is
more familiar to play-goers. Some OF
our talented young ladies assisted IN tue
production OF the plsy. Miss Betty Da'
venport took the part ot Lady Penar,
Won. She read the text we'll, but lacked
animation and passion. Miss Mary Eli
lerick was the old lady and evil genius OF
the piece, and dressed and acted her part
we'll. She died too soon for poison,
however, and fell too hard.
Miss Mary Citizens, as the
poisoned girl, was moderately successful.
Miss Msjiltop, q charming brunette,
appeared to good advantage in her red
dress OF ten hundred years ago. Mr..
CoIl Agy hs6 the leading male part, a
contract which was little two heavy
for him, but he got through fairly. MIR.
b. Sinclair was excellent, and George
Hills as the old shepherd made quite q
success. Miss Lsurs Dallis appeared Tor
the first time here, recitlng "fhe Fire
man" with powerful effect. She has
stoag voice, with much of the art OF the
trained elocutionist. Seldom has there
been such success by young girl
without experience. She slso appeared
in some Of the tsrces, and always did
well. Mr.. Jim Dobbins appeared in the
fsrces and met with good success. He is
equal to many send men,. or profession.
al actors, IN low comedy. All OF the
other boys and girls did well, and the
whole performance was grand success.
GAINESVILLE has more amateur dramatic
talent to the square inch than any town
in the country, and the people always
turn out to sec their own jewels. The
light pieces and many ether things will
be offered again on Saturday evening.
The revival meeting at the M. b.
Church is not making much progress,
though lasting since the frat OF the year.
Rev. Sullivan makes some very terYld
sermons, and there are earnest double
bsrreled prayers by the brethren THAT ls,

sinners won't come 70 the front. The
revival spirit seems to have loft this
community, although 1t is ripe harvest.
field for missionary effort. We have
meetings night and day at the IL. h.
Church, and perhaps the prayers Will at
last be effective.
A. Horseman, of this place, had quite
an adventure 1T Sslesyille, the other
night, and Landlord Turnipseed is quite
indignant that the modern David should
select his hotel for the scene OF such op-
eystioDs.
George Shepherd, the furniture man,
has made an assignment. de owes
about $1,000, and has stock OF furni-
Lu7e and some bad bills to help out.
George sold too low. He is clever gen
tleman, and many will regret to hear OF
MS misfortune. The Hunt Bros. have
not resumed, as WAS expected, and may
not do so.
Watson's is a good appointment for To-
bacco Inspector, although the papers Try
TO make out that he don't know anything
about the business. He will make
good officer. Our dealers here
are not friendly TO the warehouse,
and cay they will not ship to it. Brother
Watson should encourage the farmers to
pack and send to Bellsire Oh their own
account, and that city should arrange
for a tobacco commission house. BY so
doing. the warehouse will be success In
spite of middle men.
The Enterprise is trying to work up a
feeling in favor of nsrrow-gauge rail-
.oad down Saltwater Valley, to connect
with the Wheeling and Tuscarswss Val
ley road, but $50 far, there is not the
slightest indication of popular Interest
People here seem to be satisfied with
their business prospects, in spite OF the
heavy decline in real estate.
The appointment of Aleck Dan
ford IS Infrmary Director, gives sat-
is:action in this part of the country.
Lane goes out under cloud,
although in many respects his
administration WAS successful.
The grand jury found no whisky in
dictments sgslns. GAINESVILLE sslOonists,
{ and we might conclude We had no vic.
| lstors OF the liquor law. That Is q mis-
take, however. But nobody seems to
care about it. The Murphy movement
has collapsed, and most of the signers
returned to their bar and whisky, and
there is a general apathy on the subiec:
of temperance. King Alcohol seems TO
be master OF the situation, although there
is not much drunkenness prevailing.
The hard times affects even the saloons.
