TUEsDAY.-We were pleased to see, to
day, the pleasant, smiling face of our old
friend George Gilliland, who called al
this office. Among our callers to-day
was Washington S. Schellenger Esq. Mr.
S. has taken the Standard for a great
many years, but for the past few months
he has been reading his sons paper-as
| they are living together. But the old
gentleman says that he must have his
name back on our list again. That's the
way they all talk. >. A large number of
citizens are complaining of sickness re-
sulting from cold. On this list are Mrs.
Judge Longbon and Miss BERTHE, Mr.. and

on the street to-day. Rev. c. f. Creigh-

The young peoples missionary band "The

ing at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
W. Rice on last night. :. "A ludicrous in
cident, showing the need of eternal vigi-
lance, in this world, occurred in the
studio of local artist in this place, a
day or two ago. This lady desired pic
ture taken in the style of one she had in
her pocket. Hauling out this, she handed
it to the artist, but she had unfortunately
placed it the pocket with her wax, and
the picture was disigured by having a
huge hunk of wax firmly planted upon
it. We noticed Mr.. Stephen Vaughn in
attendance at Church tonight.
THURsDAY-Geo.W W. Miller is greatly
improving his property on Broadway
street, by the putting on of a new roof

comfort. d. q. Johnny Armstrong is seri
ously i'll with typhoid fever. :. Miss
Belle Walker, of Wellston, is in town to-

though Spring were, indeed, here. AL
ready the small boy has begun his war
fare on the inoffensive "mud-cat," amid
the rippling waves of Salt Creek. ID. d
DUNCAN spent last night in Portsmouth.
Mr.. jeff. Foster, a gentleman of color,
"had information with Jackson County
Jury this evening, and now jeff. wonders
whether it was, or was not, an earthquake
that struck him. jeff. has been splurgine
around ON the witness stand in the local
Courts about Having information" with
a certain married white woman, and be-
came quite funny over it at times-but,
verify, the laugh crawls out of the other
side of Jeffs mouth, at this time.
FRIDAY.-Beautiful as Summer.
Several school-boys got into disgraceful
row to-day near the intersection of
Church and South streets. We will not
give names this time, but will add that it
would have been glorious place for some
| three or four parents to have appeared,
| with as many shingles. Miss Minerva
| Phillips is visiting at the home of Sheriff
| Cherington. The Women's Foreign
Missionary Society held their Quarterly
Tea this evening at the residence of Mr.
and Mrs. w. G. Evans, on Columbia
street. To those who know Mr.. and Mrs
Evans, Master Ora, and Miss Halle, it is
not necessary to state that there was g
grandly enjoyable time There is always
fun where Wellington Evans is, and we
were very much disappointed that WI
could not accept his cordial invitation
and assist him to eat a square, meal il
