1t was warm, sunshiny Sabbath after
noon, and we were out for a stroll, near a
patch of woods. Two small boys came
hurrying along, one of them carrying a
large tin bucket. Apparently they were
in great hurry, and any observer would
at once have put them down as the most
impatient little fellows in existence. But
appearances are often deceptive, and were
greatly so in this instance. Suddenly the
boys SHE'D off into the woods and in few
steps came to an old tree, bored so full of
holes as to look like a rendezvous for
woodpeckers. One of the boys drew from
his pocket piece of elder, and inserting
it in one of the holes in the tree, drove it
in tightly, hung the large tin bucket on
the end of the "spile," and sat down.
Then began a waiting and watch
ing which we did not tarry to see
the end Of Talk about the patience of
the Esquimaux! An Esquimaux never
would have waited for that bucket
to fill, at the rate at which the water was
running when we last saw it. Looking
away across the fields we saw another
large tree with four boys keeping solemn
vigil under its shadow. 1t was an old
"sugar-camp."

He wns Surprised .

On Monday of last week Miss Fannie
Long, daughter of John l.. Long, came
to our Office and invited us to go to hel
fathers house on Wednesday night. She
said it would be her fathers birthday
We asked her at what hour we should
arrive, and she said at six, OF half past
six. Promptly at six o'clock on Wednes-
day evening we started. 1t is mile to
Mr.. Longs residence, and when we got to
the gate it was dark. Harry and Grace
Long were going in at the gate, and they
had heavy baskets They said their father
had no suspicion about the party, and
Grace told Harry to take us into back
room. AS we passed the window we saw
Mr.. Long in the room, and he saw us.
Harry took us into an adjoining room,
when Mr.. Long came in, shook hands,
and appeared little surprised. He said
his wife had been urging him to shave,
and he had just commenced, and he eX-
cused himself and went into another
room to complete his shave. When he
had gone Mrs. Long and the family said
he did not have the least suspicion about
the party. Soon after this Samuel Overly,
neighbor from the country arrived, and
then others. Then Mr.. Long understood
it all, and declared that he had not had a
''fair count" and that now he must dress
up and be fit to appear before his neigh
borS.
Mr.. Long was 55 years of age. Some
IS or 20 of his old neighbors composed the
party. Levi DUNCAN was the oldest, in
his siXty-secOnd year; next Samuel
Overly, nearly 81; then we came in next
J. W. Longbon and 20" Rathburn, 56;
then number of men but little younger,
such as L. a. Atkinson, w. D. Trago, etc.
The party was an exceedingly pleasant
one Mr.. Long was born and raised in
Jackson, and can now remember back
fifty years, and he told many amusing
anecdotes of early days in Jackson. Levi
DUNCAN told some very funny anecdotes
about early law practice before country
justices of the peace,
AT nine o'clock we all had supper. 1t
was not one of those suppers where you
have to stand up and eat with your fin
gers, but we were all seated at table,
which was loaded With many good things.
Mr. Long was taken completely by sur
prise, but it was most agreeable sur
prise, and he enjoyed it very much. All
present were in fine humor, and each
and all contributed to the general enjoy
ment of the occasion May we all live to
celebrate Mr. Longs sixtieth birthday.

The Marble Silo d.


Long & Davis have reduced their mar
BILE business to a system nearly perfect.
Long appears to be the general superin-
tendent of the concern, buying marble,
and travelling and making contracts of
sale. He showed us perhaps a dozen diff
ferent kinds of marble and granite on
hand, of all sorts and kinds. There were
large number of monuments finished, in
the highest style of polish, lettering, and
other finish. Josiah Caldwell and his son
Wallace, do the fine work, and it is no
fiattery to say that they have no superiOrs
in Ohio in their kind of work. They have
fine taste as to what is beautiful and ap-
propriate, and they possess the mechani-
cal skill to carve in a style coming up to
their ideal of the grand and beautiful.
Messrs. Long e Davis have number of
agents travelling, selling marble work, OF
making contracts of sale. Persons do not
have to wait long for work. after making
contracts, but the work is promptly and
safely delivered and put up, with all rea-
sonable expedition.

Their theatrical Experience

They were in earnest, this company of
jackson boys who organized for the pur-
pose of fitting themselves for work "before
the footlights." They adopted series of
rules and bylaws which were to govern
the action of the organization. They
elected Secretary, Chairman and Treas
urer. Books were opened by the Treas
urer, who announced himself ready to
receive funds.
The incipient Booths and FORESTS came
forward and placed their money in the
Treasury Plays were sent for, and ev-
erything pointed to successful season.
So far, the company had experienced no
drawbacks.
As the company meant business, and
wanted no discontented among them, one
of the bylaws provided that any member
might leave at any time, and withdraw
his deposits from the Treasury. And in
this they were governed too much" for,
in an unlucky moment, one of the mem
bers, the "commedian," we believe, be-
came angered, and announced his inten-
ton of leaving, demanding of the Treas
urer his deposit.
Upon casting over the books it was
found that the discontented party had
made deposits from time to time, to the
amount of FIFTEEN CENTS. The with
drawal of this amount left the Treasurer
without funds, and the company went
into bankruptcy-for what can bank
rupt theatrical company do in country
where grasping printers and hotel-keepers
demand cash in advance?
This will perhaps be best for the boys
in the long run--as it is probably only a
foreshading of what would have been
their actual experience had they kept up
their organization until they "took the
road
