The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1881-10-20
WeIIstOn Notes.

One of the ''Enterprise' correspondents from this
place. in the last copy of that paper thinks the
pondent of the "Standard' is mercural as he is
Lively Beg pardon Mr. o. no matter how s'mer-
curial" he may be, he emphattcally disclaims the
charge of being ''Liyey." Guess again Mr.. o.
The writer neither to conceal his identity
to force knowledge Oft the public. 1t is his
aim to give plain straight forward record of the af
fairs ofthe town to the best ofhs ability with maice
toward none and charity for all saloon keepers and
Ludlow cider-miri Assistant Democrats excepted.
He will always be thankful for the correction of any
he may have made for any help his friends
may fit to give in collecting village news.
Building is still going on, but much too slowly for
the needs of the town. Houses cannot be rented on
any terms, and if vacancy occurs dozen are ready
to grasp at it. Mr.. Bennet has his house and
expects to occupy it in few days. Mr.. Andrews on
Fifth Street also has his in progress. The Emmet
building is approaching completion. Mr.. Tuomine
has been adding addition to his equine residence
so as to keep up with his livery business.
The town authorities having Fifth Street cin-
dered north of Broadway. Marshal Campbell has re-
opened his barber shop Fourth Street three doors
north of Broadway.
The public school closed its sixth week with 81 in
Primary, 81 in intermediate, 5S in Grammar School,
and II in High School. We doubt fsuch another mob
can be found in Ohio as Miss Emma Watt has in the
Primary Department. Gentlemen of the School
Board do you think 1t justice pay Mr.. Fry
$780, to teach IL and Miss Watt $780, to teach "a you
do, our ideas ofright differ.
The gauge put in the first bridge Rae
coon Sunday. Grading the branch is about
done. On the main line the track is the NJ. &
G. at Berlin and about ready to cross the famous
.'onion bed' of Bakers.
Mr.. Gooding is trying to start a lumber yard on
Broadway at the crossing of the but it
is uphill work. he can't get lumber fast enough to
supply the demand, and can get none ahead to make
| the yard of. Mr.. Leach before Squire Bingham
Saturday to possession under writ of re-
plevin of load of lumber held by the NJ. c. for
damages in not being unloaded in time. The writ
granted, and Mr.. L. secured his lumber and will
have it in houses at early day. Squire B. also
issued writ at the instance ola Mr.. Owens, Sun
day. who charged of his fellow railroaders with
theft from his valise The trial is set for
o-day Monday, and there will be almost much fun
| as there in Dublin when the government took
that prince of blatherskites, Parnell, in charge.
The Catholics occupied their new church on Sunday
for the first time. Rev. Mr.. Thurheimer officiating
Rev. Mr.. Hall also preached at the school house fol
the first time since his return from Conference. The
| U. B. talk of building church soon.
Clerk Williams is still very i'll, with but little i'm
provement. r. w. Goddard has been unable to at
tend to business regularly, account of i'll health
Ed Evans has been the sick list for several days
Mr.. Alonzo Phillips and Miss Lettie Brown were
married Saturday evening, Mayor Brooks officiating
| May they live long and be happy.
The election is over, and body is happy, I'M
less it the cider-mi devotees. Many thanks alike
to the Democrats who voted for Foster, and the less
| courageous who staid at home. Why don't the
Democratic party remain dead? This annual attemp
to galyaniZe it into life is failure 1t can't stant
business prosperity. Like Giant Pope, in Bunyan:
Alegory, while it has lost of its malignity,
| has lost its teeth. MFRCuR1.
