LAST Saturday an old friend-a Demo-
crat, called and had a pleasant talk with US.
He told a good one on himself, which oc-
CURED over twenty years ago. He was at
that time keeping little grocery store.
He did not sell liquor. He had Joined the
church, and had been elected Justice of
the Peace. One of the Portsmouth whole
sale dealers from whom he had been get
ting goods, was in town, and urged him
to take barrel of whisky. Our friend
told the Portsmouth merchant that he
would not now, for fifty dollars, have
barrel of whisky come to his store, and
people see it on the way. 1t would injure
him, and injure the church.
After the Portsmouth man had gone
home, he shaved the end of the barrel,
and wrote vinegar" on it, instead of
whisky" and sent it. Our church men,
Der put it in a back room, opened it, and
found it to be very good whisky. Several
of his country friends, who had tasted
the whisky, and found it to be a good az
ticle, bought some ten gallons of il, and
took it home in jugs, at different times.
Then our friend went to his we'll, and
drew about ten gallons of water, and
filed up the barrel. He took coal dust
and rubbed on The word vinegar" and
then went to an Irish whisky seller and
told him that he had barrel of good
whisky, but as he was now church
member, and a squire, he could not retail
it, and wanted to sell it. He told the
Irishman to come over and taste it. He
did so, and pronounced it mild and good.
Our friend then produced the original
! bill, when the Irishman paid the amount
of the bill, and took the watered whisky.
Our friend has no check of conscience
even to this day, and says that the more
water man can be induced to drink in
his whisky, the better it is for him. And
we believe he is right.

Bloomfield Township.

Surveyors are surveying through the
coal fields of this township, along the
Dixon Run Route. They have started
from Point Pleasant, crossing Big Rae
coon Greek above Harrisburgh, then up
Little Raccoon to Keystone, and up Dix
on's Run.
We think that Bloomfield township, in
short time, will be one of the wealthiest
townships in the State; that is as soon as
it's mineral resources are developed. Be
cause we have in all our hills three and
four veins of coal, varying from four to
six feet; besides, camel coal has been
discovered lately in several places along
DiXon's Run.
In addition to this, we have three veins
of iron ore, and vein of limestone seven
feet thick, and we are confident that we
can reach the Jackson coal, in from $50
to 175 feet.
Those wishing to invest in coal lands
that will make them fortune in short
time, should try to get hold of these lands
that have such rich deposits of minerals.
The following are some of the names of
owners of coal lands in this region:
Taylor Munyan, Joseph Hale, jr., Jo-
seph Hale, sen., Russell Walter, R. T..
Jones, Alex Andrews, David T. Jones,
James Williams, Edward Potts, Isaac
Lambert, Robert McClung, Christian
Hansey, Ben. Rhodes, Harrison Kelley,
Nathan Fields, Perry Andrews, Peter
McLane, Hiram Russell, John Hull.

The Good People of Jackson.

We do not believe there is a place in
! the entire universe where there is more
whole-souled generosity to be found than
the evidences which come to our knowl-
edge, of the kindness of heart on the part
of our people, and sympathy for the dis
tressed, would take more space than the
average newspaper has at its disposal.
One of the latest evidences of this
Christian character ON the part of the
citizens of Jackson, was the treatment of
the afflicted actors Mr.. and Mrs. John
ston, whose little son died at the Valley
House in this place. Our people are not
generally favorably disposed toward the
small theatres that come among US, and
the troop to which these actors belong
did not enjoy much success, if any, in
Jackson. But when the little child was
taken dangerously i'll, the question of
tastes vanished, and humanity and Chris
tian charity assumed control of every
heart. The ladies, headed by Mrs. G. c.
James and Mrs. j. L. Long, rallied to the
bedside of the little sufferer, and through
the long night-watches, saw every need
and want supplied. Drs. Kitchen, Hol-
comb, johnson, and perhaps others, did
all that medical skill could do. Benjamin
Trago, proprietor of the Valley House,
showed all these people every kindness.
His good lady worked herself down in her
efforts to aid the afflicted ones.
Owing to bad luck and sickness Mr.,
johnson was left almost entirely without
means. When death finally came to the
release of the little sufferer, the people of
Jackson raised fund sufficient to pro-
vide beautiful casket, and purchase
tickets for the family to their homes in
Pittsburgh, Pa. In fact, the people of
Jackson did all that any people could do
for the dying, the dead, and the afflicted.
Funeral services were held at the Valley
House, by Rev. W. d. Cherington, of NJ.
E. Church, after which the sorrowing pa
rents left for home.

THE revival meetings at M. E. Church
closed on Friday night. Great good has
been accomplished, yet the earnest work
ers in the church, including the minister,
doubtless need a season of rest. We may
now, all of us, have the opportunity to
maintain, by our daily walk and conver-
sation, that Christian character and rep
utation that a thousand years of ''testi-
mony" in the church could not give US.
Though the regular series of meetings are
closed, the churches are all willing to re-
ceive new members, and to do them good.
Let the good work go on.

Piles! Piles? P5Iesa

A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itch

serbs the tumors, allays the intense itch
ing, particularly at night after getting
warm in bed) acts as a poultice, gives in
slant and painless relief, and Is prepared
only for Piles, itching of the private parts,
and for nothing else.
Read what the Hon. J. NJ Coffinbury of
Cleveland says about DR.. Williams Indi-

nent relief as DR.. Williams Indian Oint-
ment.

Other Days-1S53.

While we sit in our office looking over
the old STANDARD, we occasionally glance
over the way to the fine stone front
building of N. Il. Cavett, with its heavy
plate glass doors and windows. Then
the mind reverts back to the little old
frame building that stood there but few
years ago. Looking at the old paper, we
read that IN. T. Cavett wishes to pur-
chase from ten to twenty thousand hoop
poles, for which the highest market price
will be paid
We also learn by the old paper that
there are over $50 tons of pig iron at the
depot at this place, awaiting the compile
tion Of the railroad, and the coming of
the iron horse"
Also, that 'Mr. III. c. Messenger, lately
from Licking county, has purchased the
1872 acre farm adjoining the town Of Jack
son on the south, from Mr.. J. French, of
this palce, and intends laying it off into
town lots
And, "on Saturday last, Thomas N.
Howell was elected Justice of the Peace
in place of Daniel Perry, resigned
"On Saturday last our ears were greet
ed with the beating of drums, and the
shrill notes of the fife, which on inquiry
we found to be call for the purpose of
organizing Military Company"
Many men yet young in years, will re-
member the old muskets and sabres that
were stored in the old Court House, and
were used in these "musters." This was
only play. Sadly we think of the dread
reality of war that has come and gone
since that time, and during the terrors OF
which many brave Jackson county boy
lost his life.
We also learn by the old paper thai
Porter DuHadway has removed his shoe
shop to Main street, two doors below the
Isham House, where he is prepared tt
manufacture boots and shoes on shor
notice, and of the best materials"
The STANDARD was in those days com
planning that "coal is sold by the meas
ured bushel, and not by weight.

our old friend good-by for another week

Wedding!

There was an immense crowd at NJ. E.
Church on last Wednesday evening. The
inquiry which greeted every one on en-
tering the room, was whether or not
there was really going to be wedding.
Shortly after Z o'clock, Rev. Cherington
had the congregation rise and sing "Cor-
onation.' During the singing, Miss Effie
Claar and Mr.. William Neeley passed up
the aisle, and paused in front of the altar
railing The marriage ceremony was
performed, the happy couple knelt at the
altar, the minister asked the Divine bless
ing upon them, and, while the congrega-
ton sang, the newly-wedded pair passed
out. The bride was prettily attired in
white, the groom in full dress of black.
Mrs. Neeley is a daughter of Noting
ham Claar, residing near this place. The
young folks start off in their married life
with hosts of friends, and the STANDARD
hopes they may "live long, and prosper"

Do not forget what we said two weeks
ago about the fine stock of goods kept by
Mrs. Graham, on Main street, opposite
the Gibson House, Sternberger building.
She deals principally in Glassware,
Queensware, Lamps, Toys, etc. She also
does a large business in selling her cele-
brated patent Plating Board.
The women especially should call and
see Mrs. Graham's goods, as they are the
goods in which the women feel the most

was first caught, and his side was drawn
in and most fearfully crushed. His ribs
were broken, and a hole torn in this side

saw Dr.. Crumit, and he told us that
Davis was still living, and was better.
