THE NARROW GAUGE

Some of the people living down Salt Creel
have been figuring upon route for the Marrow
Gauge Road from point this side of Richmond
TO Jackson. A very good route would be tt
come In by way of the coal and ore fields below
Jackson-passing by the Martins Run region
thence up by way of Bierly's and Rock Run tc
Buffalo Skull Creek, thence up the bank of Buf.
falo Skull short distance, swinging off past
the Walden farm, thence into Jackson by an
easy route.
A good road can be easily built over this route.
which leads through great ore and coal fields,
tapped by no other railroad. We have been in
formed that an immense bed of good fire clay
mas been discovered on the Howe farm, and
perhaps at other points in that neighborhood
and in case the road should come that way, fire
brick and tile works would be started at Bier
ly's In fact Bierly's would be good manu-
featuring point ON the road.
UP ROCK Run are immense beds of coal and
ore that will perhaps not be reached by rail-
read for many years, unless the Narrow Gauge
Shall come that way, as this road has the most
favorable prospect of any for securi pg a paving

creek, and lands that are now comparatively
BILE on account of the great distance

y developed and add greatly to the wealth of
Inc community, as well as furnish considera-
Die business to the railroad. ,
On the whole, the Salt Creek route would
doubtless be paying one for the railroad Be-
ddes the great freight traffic there would be a |
considerable passenger travel. There is q large |
mount of excellent timber along this route, |

unity?

Base Rail.

On last Friday the Base Ball Club of this place.
called the"Acrobats,' - went to Oak Hill to play
club there, called the "Rough and Readies, -
They arrived there about eight o'clock, and
pract1ced some during the forenoon. The game
was called at one o'clock, the Oak Hill Club be-
ing the first to bat. There was a large crowd
present to witness the game. Thos. A. JONES'
son OF Eben Jones, of this place, was pitcher of
the Oak Hill Club.
Charlie Smith was pitcher of the jackson Club
during the first six innings, and Jesse Laird du-
ring the last three. Jesse threw "curved balls.u
and the "Rough and Readies" found thew could
not bat them very easily.
When the Jackson Club went TO the hat
IN the seventh inning, the score was I6 to in
favor OF the Oak Hill Club. The Jackson Club
made eight runs IN that inning, and then white
washed the Oak Hill Club. The Jackson Club
then made five runs in the eighth inning In
the last inning the Oak Hill Club made two
runs, and the Jackson Club none. This
made the score 10 to is in favor of the Jackson
Club. The "Acrobats'' then gave three cheers
Tor the "Rough and Readies," and the "Rough
and Readies" gave three cheers for the "Acro-
bats"
The Oak Hill Club furnished good 81 so ball,
which became the property of the Jackson
Club.
Charlie Smith was trying to play Oscar Wilde,
having large sunfower pinned to his coat.
AS soon as the game was over the boys went
to the depot and telegraphed the result to Geo. |
Pugh, who Immediately put out bulletin
Jesse Laird was put out on first base.

Now is the time for the people in Jack
son to get their coal for next winter.
There are several reasons why this is
good policy. Coal is now only cents
per bushel, and the roads are in excellent
condition from hauling from the hill
banks. The coal trade is somewhat dull.
and it would give the miners work in
the slack season. In month or two the
trade will be brisk, miners will get higher
prices for digging, and coal will be up to
ten cents, or perhaps higher, and the
roads in the winter are generally in a
miserable condition.
Now all you have to do to get your
winter supply of coal, is to telephone to
Brookins, Hunsinger & Co., and they will
send you coal. OF any kind of goods you
may want. They are still selling all
kinds of goods cheap for cash, or approv-
ed country produce.

PERSONS are nearly every day asking
us about the political situation, and how
the thing looks, anyhow. In reply we
ask them to tell us what are the issues
between the parties, save and except the
liquor question. There has never been
such time since Monroe's administra-
tion.
This being the political millennium, as
it were, most persons are giving nearly
all their attention to business, and hence
it is that Oliver S. Miller is selling more
goods than he usually does at this dull
season of the year. There are other rea-
sons beside the political quietude for this.
Times are good, crops abundant, and
work, with good wages, for all, and fine
goods at low prices. No wonder that

OUR readers will notice the advertise
ment OF DR.. Gardner. We do not, as a
general thing, take much stock in strange
doctors; but DIR. Gardner seems to be an
exception. He came up one day last
week to pay for his advertisement and
we got into general conversation with
him. He said he had turned off over
twenty persons since he had been here, as
ne always told person the truth, when
he found case that he could not cure.
Our readers have heard us say that we
have been afflicted all our life with nerv-
Gus trouble, the most distressing feature
OF which is palpitation of the heart We
had talk with Dr. Gardner about this,
and he fully concurred with all the emf
nent physicians Ewith whom we have
consulted, and we are convinced that he
very fully understands his business, and
is an honest and safe physician.

UnMarranted Intrusionsi

Inc annals of police experience furnish some
ricn developments. Those who may be inclined
TO think that the life of the drunkard-or the
occasional hard drinker- is one round of tollitv
and worldly pleasure, are long way from the

TO learn some of the real horrors, not to men
tion the 1nconveniences, of intemperance
One night last week a couple of men were
found lying upon the streets of jackson. IT
may not generally be considered criminal to lie
upon tne streets but these men were drunk and

NUMBER one took a sudden notion to 20 to the

WE feel some interest in the construc-
ton of the new jail-not that we expect
to be one Of its inhabitants, or inmates,
but for divers other reasons; so on Mon
day we took look at the progress of the
work. Mr.. r. D.. Edwards had several
men dressing the great blocks of blue
stone, and these blocks were heaped up
in great piles. Then we went down to
E. w. Mitchells foundry and machine
shop, and there the steam engine was
turning drills, and boring through sheets
of iron for door facings, etc. Several
blacksmiths were busy at work, and piles
of great massive iron hinges lay around,
and huge sheets of iron were ready for
the floors. Mr.. Mitchell informed us
that he had all the iron on hand, and the
steel was on the way.
Mr.. Mitchell is man of great energy,
and he will have his part of the work,
about $4,000 worth, done on time, unless
some unforeseen accident should take
place. And he is certainly doing an
honest job, and he seemed pleased that
we called, and he appears anxious to
have his work seen.

ONE afternoon last week we were in

go, when lot of work came in; and we
had to see to it, and could not go. We

pleasant, with those two lovely blondes,

were somewhat consoled when Miss
Ophelia brought US lot of delicious
grapes.

WHEN farmers can buy true Ammo
mated Super-Phosphate, made chiefly
from Slaughter House Meat and Bone
for S25 per ton at the Railroad Depots, in
Philadelphia, it is folly to pay out mon
ey for the old-fashioned High Cost Fer
tIlizers, which other manufacturers per-
sist in holding at prices varying from
Thirty to Forty Dollars per ton.
The past season, everywhere, has clear
ly shown, that the low cost Ammoni.
ated Super-Phosphates paid
the best on Wheat and Grass. The day
for high-cost Manures has passed. The
experience of good farmers, who look
closely at First Cost and Re-
suits, have proved that those costing
s25 PER TON, OR LESS, with a reason
ably good Analysis of free Phosphoric
Acid AND AMMONIA, have paid them
Dy far the best. There is abundant evil
dence of this and from farmers who don't
SIMPLY guess at what they are doing.
In the four years of the use of Baugh's
s25 Phosphate, there has not been sim
gle reasonable report of unfavorable ac-
lon on any crop, and this is testimony
n itself more than volumes of certificates.
We do not ask for, or publish certificates:
