The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1883-11-01
DAILY OBSERVATIONS,

street ] ohm Milliken and Jacob Dickson
of Kansas. A great many years ago
these men were among the best known
farmers of Jackson County, both of them
residing but a short distance from town.
They have been in the western country
for many years, and seem to have been
"well kept" as they are both apparently
in excellent health. Mr.. Milliken is the
father of Mrs. John Tompson, of this
place. Jacob Dickson is brother of c.
S. Dickson. Jacob Dickson was always
light-headed, jolly man, and loved a
joke. He says that Gov. st. John and
other Republicans have gotten things fix
ed in Kansas so that good Democrat
can't get nip of whisky, unless he gets
the secret from the Republicans who
have hole in the ground where they go
to drink. He adds that they would
scarcely give him permission, in Kansas,
to take nip after he got to Ohio, to drive
off the evil effects of a change of water.
Mr.. Dickson is not accompanied by any
of his family. Mrs. Milliken accompanies
her husband. d. S. Parry, of Oak
Hill, was in town to-day. He reports
that the great furnace failure down that
way affect some parties in Oak Hill, but
not his firm-Parry, Warren AGO..
We saw Mr.. and Mrs. Orin Richards on
the streets to-day. .... The Catholic
Church has been holding series of SER
vices for several days past. "A story
was current that officer Tom Griffiths
had been knocked down few nights ago,
and seriously hurt. This story sprang
from practical joke. Tom and another
man was going home with man who
was afraid to be out alone after night in
this wicked city, when cinder was wick
edly thrown, striking a building very
close to them. Tom fell, when both the
other men took to their heels. Of course
Tom couldn't see who threw the cinder,
but he wanted to see the other man hur-
ry home. And he did. He went right
straight home, and he went fast. He on
ly waited long enough to advise Tom to
shoot the miscrant who threw the mis-
sile. Moral-Keep away from these
wicked policemen. Our old and much
esteemed friend, John Shoemaker, called
to-day. We had pleasant call to-day
from Rev. J. M. Stewart, who has been
preaching over in Lawrence County. .....
E. E. Ferree, of Wellston, paid flying
visit to Jackson to-day. -. DIR. Varian,
of Coalton, passed through town in bug
gy to-day. -. Bob Wilson is Superin-
tendent of the Coalton Schools. Miles
Rigdon is a teacher there And who
could find better teachers than these two
young men?.. Levi Davis, brother of
the late John Davis, is in Kansas-as is
also Mr.. Mccormick, who used to be so
well known here. .....O oh, yes! We like
to have forgotten it! George Barton and
wife have new girl baby, and our old
friend billiard Barton is grandpa" !"
Our congratulations 49,. Yes, there it
is again! Old friend John A. Calhoun, of
wellston, is married. There is certainly
no friend who can wish him more joy
than does the Standard. :. There's one
thing which ought to be stopped in this
town-that is scuff1ing on the sidewalks,
by the larger boys, and young men.
There is one point on Broadway where
this has come to be positive nuisance
49,. Walterhouse now has his Office
completed, and will be able to Withstand
the storms of earth-if his fiue doesn't
fall over and smash the house. 49,. This
is prayer-meeting night at the different
churches, and those who don't go, ought
to-. We had call, few days ago,
from A. S. Brady. He is now teaching
school at Whitman's, on the o. S. Rail
road. ....
THURSDAY.-At tremendous rain again
to-day. The refreshing weather has
made show of fall pasture. IA wag-
on load of peaches in town a few days
ago-late, but fine. $50. Lumber dealers
report trade lively. Some time age
the firm of Marshman &Co. Of this place
ordered some furniture from a Dayton
house. 1t was shipped by Narrowgauge
to Wellston, where the o. S. Road took it
and now it is sailing around through
space, somewhere between here anC
Springfield. Prof. John Hank in
town to-day. 80. .Milt. McKinniss is
clerking in DR.. Ewing's Drug Store.
There was fine Temperance sermon il
front of Marshman & Cos Store to-day
A man was sitting in front of the build
ing, drunk-fool drunk. His wife wa
there, in her humiliation not KNOWN,
what to do, while around the drunke1
man were playing two or three children
as fine looking family as man coult
wish for. Finally through fear of tn
officers, the man was moved to get int
his wagon and drive away-or rather lie
the horses take him away. Such scene
as this ought to be sufficient to make ev
cry decent man an uncomprOmising enc
my to the horrid traffic which paint
them. This man is doubtless opposed t
, "voting away his personal liberty.
J. B. Howe was in town to-day to Sc
cure shotgun for big squirrel-hun
|, down in Liberty. We advise everybod
down that way to get behind tree, ..
, J. II. Wilson, of Coalton, called to-day
E He reports everything booming at th
e big store of Wilson & Sons. ..... 1t ha
/ become quite common on some of ou
e streets, for persons to sit in the quiet c
|, their homes at night and hear the shut
/ ling, tumbling pace of the miserabl
drunkards who are toiling homeward a
