DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

TUEsDAY.-Mrs. Crisswell went to
Lancaster to-day. Mr.. and Mrs. Shrop-
shire, of Samsonville are in town to-day,
visiting their many. friends. Mr.. and
Mrs. W. T. Price entertained them, with
some other friends, this evening, with a
musical treat, and social enjoyment. 80.
Among the many funny stories a1oat
about the man who recently decamped
from Jackson in such great haste, after
signing the wrong names to notes of hand,
is one to the effect that on the very day
the man left town friend for whom he
depot and inquired if he were going to
/ Wellston. ~Yes," said the absconding
individual. seWill you take this ten dol
lars, and give it to Mr., of Wellston p
"Oh yesP' said the absconding individual.
And he took the money, but somehow
forgot to get off at Wellston.
WEDNEsDAY-LewF French arrived in
town to-day from the West. Lew. looks
as lively as ever, and looks as though he
could pick the banjo and sing "The Darby
| Ram" as beautifully as ever. There
were twelve persons taken in as full men,
bers at M. E. Church tonight. There
are mutterings about strikes in several of
the mines in this region, as there is said
to be scarcely enough work for the num-
Der of men employed wv. T. Price and
Rev. A. W. Long were in Wellston to-
day. We heard discussion to-day on
the subject of religion, between lady
and gentleman, in store in this place.
The gentleman claimed, upon his part,
that the world is growing better all the
time and that while there are a great
many good people, there must in the
nature of things be some bad people.
Just how the bad people expected the
good people to carry them through the
judgment, he failed to elucidate, and, al
though it is not ours to join in this pri
vate discussion, we went away wonder
ing why the world would not be still bet
ter if all the bad people were to become
good. Perhaps our friend did not think
of this.
THURsDAY.-Lewis, Harry and L. w.
French are to-day visiting jeff French,
| in Jackson township. ID. L. Pickrel is
quite sick, with symptoms of fever....
| Eugene Gray, of Huntington, West Vir-
ginia, called at this Office this morning.
Mr.. Gray is son of Benoni Gray, of this
| place. We met to-day Mr.. John G.
Wykoff, of Hardin county, Ohio, who has
been visiting friends and relatives in this
neighborhood. He leaves tomorrow for
home. "A good joke is told by the Huron
Furnace boys about one of the engineers.
When word got out among the boys that
the Furnace was about to collapse, this
man-who had a considerable amount
coming to him-went to the store to set
tie up. They were too busy to wait upon
him, and he drew considerable portion
of his wages in scrip, put it into his
pocket, and went back to work. Some
one warned him to look out for his inter-
ests in time but he replied "Oh, I've got
it all solid, right here in my pocket" But
that day at noon the store "busted," and
his scrip still remained "solid'' in his
pocket. "Never put off till tomorrow
what you can do to-day"
FRIDAY.-Clear and beautiful. Our
young friend Hugh Perry, of Jimes, called
this morning. Mr.. Perry is one of the
best of our young men, and that is the
reason that he has taken the Standard
for nine years, and still pays ahead. .
Daniel Kelly, of Liberty township, called
; to-day, as did also Mr.. j. Stewart, of Mil
ton township. d. The Odd Fellows held
: a:meeting at their Lodge Room tonight
for the admission of new members. =.
There! There comes another story-Jin
Aleshire has shot man. The next re
port will possibly be that Dan. Stropes ol
Jim Hall has stolen horse. Once star
, an evil report about man, and all ths
world stand ready 10 "malign" him. =
The Reading Room is largely attended
and is increasing in popularity. Nov
when we get circulating library, so tha
those who cannot attend the Reading
d Room may have variety of excellen
) reading at their own homes, Jackson will
d be well fixed in the way of good reading
t matter.
4 SATURDAY.-Rain-cr high agaiT
n The mechanics eased up on the ney
Music Hall to-day, and were not KILN
themselves with overwork, for reasons G
their own. -. The work is mostly on th
e inside now. . Working at the new Musi
le Hall is Mr.. Murfn, a mechanic, an ol
Il gentleman, who has been over from Ell
Il gland but few days. He expects to g
IL from here to Canada. Mr.. Pettigrey
20 furniture salesman, of Springfield, Obi
le has stopped over tonight to spend Sunda
Ill in Jackson. 81 will not tell you an
thing again." said a business man to
IN Standard reporter tonight. This remal
lis was in the nature of joke, on the part
s. our friend, but there are lots of good pc
ia. pie who think it possible to keep fac
ne and rumors from the ears of newspap
n men. Why, dear friends, they do n
re. begin to tell all they know. AS for t
to Standard, it's criticisms of men and the
,te practices are always in the interest of t
on public welfare Occasionally man IN
rs be found who feels grieved at the atte
~ ton paid him by some local reporter f
ilv the standard, but in ninety-nine cases
les hundred it will be found on investie
ton that he has not been treated harsh
