SATURDAY.-A clear, fine day. E.

Gle George Dever in town to-day. ..... .DI
w. F. Scott is at home, and wa
greeting his friends on the street to-day
1--WE had pleasant call to-day from
Joseph Hale jr. and Richard t. Jones, two
among Jackson County's best citizens
Among the callers at this Office to
day were James Sheridan, John Harper
and G. L. Behem,of Liberty Township
and E. n. Jones, Samsonville. ..... John
l.. Ramsey had his household goods pack
ed to-day, ready for moving out on his
farm, in Liberty Township. We are sor-
ry to lose Mr.. and Mrs. Ramsey from
town, as they are among our very best
citizens. -. Mr.. and Mrs. Will Longbon
are moving into the house on Ports
mouth Street recently vacated by Mr..
Powell. -. AT the Chestnut auction to-
day, Mr.. Chesnut's buggy was bid off
to d. D. DUNCAN, for eighty-siX dollars.
I've believe a strip of ground has
been leased on the Long farm upon
which men will bore for oil. We trust
they may be successful. 49,. We heard a
new name for the aff1iction of a lazy man.
A citizen of this place, describing anoth-

parent cause, was asked how the sick
man was "Oh," he replied, "he's got
nothing the matter with him except the
sloaUs !'. Seeing the closing out Of
Mr.. Chestnut's store, and realizing that
he has gone into business in Minnesota,
carries US back in reflection, over Ions
season of business life for him in this
place. Many years ago the Bakery of the
Chestnut brothers was popular enter
prise with our people. When, long be-
fore the war, we attended the School
taught by Mr.. Gilmor, as regularly as re-
cess came, SAINT. Bundy, Henry Leach,
and half Il dozen others, would strike for
the Bakery, and; armed with the Old-fash-
ioned "quarter-sections" of gingerbread
would have regular picnic. The School
and the Baker were both in Commercial
Block. From the humble start in the
little Bakery, Mr.. Chestnut has pulled
steadily upward, financially, and we can
congratulate Minneapolis upon the addi-
ton of so excellent and successful a man
to ist list of citizens.
SUNDAY.-A lov ) day. Rev. J.

next Sunday, except Sabbath School, Rev.
F. S. Davis having call to fill the pull
pit of the NJ E. Church at Pomeroy. 49,.

Misses Katie and Maggie Hoch are visit
ing friends in town to-day. The hill
sides are thickly dotted with Spring flow
ers, and it seems that at last we are to
have glimpse of Spring.
MoNDAY-There never was more
lovely election day. Our old friend
Reuben Dickson came to town to vote,
to-day. Mr. Dickson is still able to get |
about readily, but is complaining some,
and evidently going down with the
weight of years. We met John 0.
Evans on the Street to-day. He has al
most entirely recovered from his recent |
sick spell. go. .Herschel johnson is here. |
..... The Executive Committee of the
Reading Room had a meeting tonight to
discuss the apparent necessity of closing |
the room There will doubtless have to |
be some disposition made of the books
and fixtures of the room, as it cannot be
kept up on the plan of soliciting contri-
buttons. Nv. G. Long came down
from Milton township this morning. ......
Mr. R. G. Hunter, of Scioto township,
called this morning. $50. Seven in Jail
