DAILY OBSERVATIONS.


week we got the name of J. F. Bertsc
in place of w. H. Miller, as a member G
the Executive Committee. We make th
correction and apologize to both gentle
gmen.- -.s.s..A Adam Winfough, and DR.. Val
ian, of Coalton, are circulating about tow
to-day Lincoln Carr came along to
:, day, as happy as king. and expressed
the opinion that Blaine ant
Il Logan are purity good fellers." -WheI
v asked if he was not for the old ticket, HI
replied: "Not much-we put Tfden il
once, and he sold out his right to the Re
publicans. Well not put him in again.
:. In the gutter of the pavement il
front of the George Dever house or
Broadway, where Orlando Stiffier resides
is a large root which dams up the flow OF
the water in the gutter. On days when
the f1sh-dealers have market this causes q
perfect cess spool of filth to collect there
and causes smell in that neighborhood
almost equal to beer-doggery. This
should be fixed. -. Prof. Hanks voice
was heard in the county Jail tonight
ald caused his friends some anxiety as
to why John was put in, but his presence
was soon explained. John, in company
with other musicians, was holding a sort
of parlor concert with the family of Sher-
iff Cherington, who had invited them in.
! The music was heard and enjoyed by par
ties on the street. One man, sitting on
the step of Jim Branson's Saddlery was
so overcome that he had to be dragged
= away by two policemen. "a heavy

man, mother of 81. L. Chapman, has been
away on visit, and her son has greatly
beautified her residence, as surprise to
her. A large verandah is placed in front,
small one on the side, new window
cut, and things changed around general
ly..... Billy McGhee captured the red
3 bird recently escaped from Mrs. Witte.
..... Charles Rhodes returned from Co
lumbus to-day. 49,. The town authori-
ties, if not able to build public buildings
at once, should at least thoroughly clean
out and fix up the Corporation property
in the neighborhood of the old calaboose.
The inclosure in front of the building is,
we are told, frequently used for purposes
not considered part of the requirements
of a well-regulated prison, and there
2 should be reform thereabouts.
- THURsDAY.-The young men have re-
vived the practice of pitching quoits
This reminds us of the ante-war days,
; when pitching horse-shoes and quoits,
and playing marbles were part of the
Industries" of Jackson. -. Misses Mel
lie Mackley, Hattie Rhodes and Edith
Hawk, were visiting Miss Meta Varian,
at Coalton, to-day. Harry French
will shortly move to the Springfield Mine
..... Booths store will run right along,
as usual. -. "A new fence has just been
completed along the Broadway side of
Mrs. o. c. Miller's property. 1T is
stormy tonight, with a slight rain in the
evening. We heard an argument this
evening as to whether the same briers
will bear good blackberries more than
one season from the same bushes. What
say the farmers about this?. ?...... We
heard a miner to-day-one of the very
best of our citiZens-saying, with some
shade of sadness in his tone, that when
there was trouble or misunderstanding
between miners and operators, the people
were prone to lay the blame for all mis-
upon the miners. While there may be
some grounds for our friend thinking
thus, we believe, generally speaking that |
1t is mistake. The miners hereabout |
have deported themselves as gentlemen,
and we believe people generally give |
them credit for it,. IA young woman
in town some time ago "cut up"
in Church, and the sexton ordered her to |
be STILL Shortly afterward she met the |
sexton on the street and informed him |
that "I'1l go to church when 1 - please, |
an talk when - please" And that |
is what she went to church fOr-because
she - pleased. :. Council are taking
measures for cleaning up the corporation |
lot, back of the calaboose. This is right. |
Clean the whole thing up. This hole has |
been public swill-pen long enough. :.
1t looks better, and is indicative of bet |
state of things generally, to see the
miners making their rounds to and from
the mines. :. Mrs. Lucy Benton arrived
to-day, and IS stopping at the Isham
House. We believe Mrs. Benton will
engage in teaching music in this place. |
And she is thorough musician. .....
Some of the young sports are talking of
trapping supply of swallows or martins,
to be shot at from a trap. We don't be-
heve we would undertake that, boys.
There are plenty of things to shoot at,
and if you cannot find anything for a
target without wantonly destroying the
that you shoot at all.
FRIDAY.-Helloo. A wedding at Coal
ton last night, and the widow Morgan
formerly Miss Wealthy Carrick, and our
old friend Allen McGhee, have signed
the contract" The Standard wishes them
long, and prosperous and happy sojourn
in this world. -. Some two or three
women were put into the calaboose to-
day.. Some of the miners have gone
to work; others will go in on Monday.
....Daily observations to-day called at
the pleasant residence of w. T. Price, on
Pearl Street, by special invitation to tea.
That section of town is rapidly becoming
a beautiful locality, and Mr.. Price has one
of the finest locations on the hill. The
social enjoyment of the evening was
greatly augmented by the piano music of
Miss Alice, and the singing of Misses
Alice and Blanch Price. 80. The School
Board with mechanics were inspecting
the new School Building this evening,
preparatory to fitting up another room
for the next session of the Schools. go.
Squire Dave Evans is building three
houses in Kahn's Addition. "A heavy
shower of rain this evening.
SATURDAY.-Rain to-day. The
calaboose has been doing lively business
