CAPTAIN JIM WoopwARD ARRIVES

CAPTAIN JIM WOODWARD ARRIVES
WITH THE MosT VALUABLE Tow OF
HIS LIFE.-Captain James A. Wood
ward has arrived from his home near
Charleston, and reports things at a
standstill in the evaporated district
known as Kanawha River. His
father, Captain Dan, is at home on
the farm, and seems little inclined
TO the shade, and the big tuw-boat
Grafton is layipg in the deep pool at
Point Pleasant in company with the
fleet of up river craft. The Grafton
has oveihauled, braced and chained
up, and new guards and fantail put
on, making her look proud as the
gayest Of the Pittsburg pushers.-
Captain Woodward reportsthe steam.
boat men all well and enjoying them
selves at their homes along the river,
some Of them even praying for a big
rain, and when the river does rise
again there will be run of coal,
salt and other boats that will consti-
TUE boom. The captain is at the
Gibson House with his wife, very
handsome young lady, whom he has
just married in Charleston. She
was Miss Katie B. Aultz. Miss Nan.
ME d. Woodward, the accomplished
daughter of Captain Woodward, ac-
companies the happy pair. Captain
Alex. Montgomery took charge of
the young gentleman on change,
where he received congratulations
from the fraternity in general. We
tender the captain and his bride our
best wishes, and can say if he proves
as careful and successful a husband
as he has a pilot and tow.b oatman he
will fill the bill. The boys can call
at the Gibson House, and will find
him just a little proud, but very
happy.-Cin. Enquirer, Sat.
Butter 20 cents per pound, -four
IS per barrel, corn 81 per bushel and
potatoes SLIGO per bushel, is not very
cheering news to people who have
these things to buy. 1t looks now
as if the coming winter will be a
very hard one one on the poor, and
that the rich will be called npon
to show their charity.
s
Houses are now in great demand,
and we believe now q hundred tene-
ment houses could find good renters.
Those who have money and lots
ought to erect few as an expert
ment, not rattle-traps, but good neat
houses, that respectable families
would be glad to occupy. Try it
We believe it would pay good per
cent on the money invested.
The Sallie Frees, running from
Gallipolis to Huntington, went to
the bank at this place on Saturday
evening last, the water being too
low for her to continue her trips
Capt. W. A, Kennard and crew left
for their homes in Buffalo, on Sun
day by tie overland route. Nothing
but u slab with wheel and whistle
on it, can navigate either Of the riv-
ers now.
Our young friend, W. H. Harvey,
an old Putnam county boy, has secu-
red the Democratic nomination in
Gallia county, Ohio, for Prosecuting
Attorney He will make things
hum. Success to him and the rest
the ticket.

Frank Wallace, the burglar who en-
tered Mr. EngliSh's house some time
ago, and John Rusk, confined on a
charge of rape, broke Jail and made
their escape. The mcknight Wallace

in the neighbnrhood of Letart and
brought back to Jail. Rusk is still

Nearly all the Ills that Afllict Us
can be prevented and cured by keep
ing the stomach, liver and kidney in
working order. There is no medi-
cine known that will do this as sure
ly as Parker's Ginger Tonic. See
advertisement.
Thos. Gwynn, Of Gallipolis, is in
attendance at Court as a witness on
behalf of the State against Frank
Wallace, charged with burglary
He is the Democratic nominee for
Sheriff of GalIia county, Ohio, and
if elected, which we think he will
be, he will make a good sheriff.
Tom is West Virginia boy.
A couple of night police would not
cost much Visitor.
