DAILY OBSERVATIONS.
TUEsDAY.-A cold, wintry day. Off
Ger Tom Griffiths is on the streets again
today. Miss Nellie Mackley has mea-
sles. Rev. d. J. Jenkins called at this
Office to-day. :. There are quite a num-
Der of cases of measles in town. If care
fully watched, there is no danger in mea-
sles. But if neglected, there is great dam
ger. For instance, the human voice is
damaged by measles. We once knew
man who affected to be great vocalist.
When we knew him his singing sounded
much like the noise produced by drawing
rosined rope through an augur-hole in
dry-goods box. After delivering his
pieces with conscious pride, he would
exclaim: "Oh, that's 1othingi You just
ought to heerd me sing afore had the
measles" :. Rev. J. r. Collier of the
Presbyterian Church, preached at the M.
E. Church tonight. There was social
party tonight at the residence of S. S.
Hawk, on Sycamore Street. Robert
Ramsey tells good joke in connection
in company with some other young men
from town. They got rig, and went
some four or five miles from town, when
they left the rig in charge of a young
man named George Ratcliff: Ramsey and
Ed. Gordon went into an old field, and in
short time procured five rabbits. With
this load of meat they started for the rig,
to return to town. But to their supreme
disgust, they found that Ratcliff-not
having the fear of the Evil One before
his eyes-had passed away, as it were,
leaving them to carry their game to town.
WEDNEsDAY.-Thawin :. Mrs. DIR.
Kitchen and daughter are visiting friends
in Jackson. We acknowledge call from
Mrs. Kitchen to-day. We have no better
citizens than DR.. Kitchen and wife, and
we are always glad to see them. Mrs.
Penelope Warren, of Madison township,
has been suffering severely from Asthma.
....Dave Edgar, the original and only
"Wild Irishman," is in town to-day. Dave
is in some little disturbance of mind be-
cause of the wickedness of Jackson, but
still he looks happy. =. "A brigade of small
! boys are engaged in a spirited conflict
with the loose hogs to-day. The pound"
was pretty well filed at noon, and the
chase was still "on." That's right-gobble
'em!. t.. The walls of the Music Hall are
up. "A few daysago little daughter of
prominent official of Jackson, while
slipping an open-end thimble upon her
finger, got it fastened, so that it would
not come off. The child had been learned
to "say her little prayers" and as she sat
crying, and waiting for the arrival of a
surgeon, she sobbed out: "Oh, mamma,
know Jesus will tum an dit it OFF, In
few moments one of the leading physicians
of Jackson came in at the door, when the
child looked up, quizzically, and suddenly
inquired: "Is that Jesus2" This was GER
tainly complimentary to the Doctor-but
we haven't heard from "the other side"
with regard to the matter. :. C. Percy
Rhodes had a social party tonight, at his
fathers residence, corner Broad and
Portsmouth Streets. Among those who
were present were Misses Minerva Tom
linson and Jose. Davis, of Richmondale.
Ross County, and Miss Ida Foster, of
Byers, Jackson County.
THURsDAY.-Cold and stormy. Our
old friend John Phillips, of Jefferson
township, in town. Charles Rhodes is

Clark, the Railroad man, has moved into
Mr.. Harbarger's house, at the lower end
of Main Street.. Misses Minerva Tom
linson, Jose Davis and Eva Caldwell, OF
Richmondale, Ross County, and Misses
Mollie Stiers and Ida Foster, of Byers,
Jackson County, have been spending sew
eral days with friends in Jackson, where
our young people have endeavored to
make it pleasant for the visitors. But

go hence on tomorrow. This will leave

80. The young folks regiying surprise
party tonight to Earl Gardner son of our
old friend Robert Gardner. 81 Herbert,
son of j. M. Evens, has been quite ill with
typhoid fever, but we are glad to say is
improving. The Women's Foreign
Missionary Society held business meet
ing this afternoon at the residence of j.
H. Mackley. OF all the fools who de-
serve the contempt of mankind, the street
fool is the most contemplate. He always
has big mouth, and it is never shut. He
will pass your residence at ten or eleven
o'clock at night, and if you chance to be
in bed and trying to sleep, he will let fly
series of most unearthly yells, thorough
ly awakening everything within radius
of half mile. But his favorite forte is
cheap songs. He will commence with
hideous attempt at soprano, then switch
off to bass-most horribly bass.-then
try tenor, and wind up with hideous
attempt at alto, ending in dismal howl,
which would do credit to hungry wolf
At every smooth spot in the pavement,
and every crossing, he must stop and at
tempt to dance. He always displays
great vigor in his heels-showing that his
brain has unfortunately been placed in
the wrong end. There are two specimens
of the street fool passing along just now,
while we are writing. They are dismally
bowling an attempt at song, which
sounds something like this:
Far Far ye well, Mrinda, dOnehe cry fur me
| Coin way to leave ye now, way down in
That's right! Go to Tennessee. Go
