The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1884-01-24
DAILY OBSERVATIONS.


seph Rule, and several other citizens c
Oak Hill. -. Mrs. Shropshire, of San
sonville, is visiting Mrs. w. T. Price.
A party of drunken loaferS were congre
gated upon the Aten & Marshman COZ
ner last night brawling and jabbering il
maudlin drunkenness. The police invit
ed them to leave, which they did. Their
seems to be general reign of drunken
ness in this town. And no wonderl G.
where you will,o any street, and the del
of the Devils Agent looms up in all it:
ghastliness. Every effort is being made
to keep men drunk, in order that the loaf
ers who keep the dens may live without
work. "A bright streak, like the tai
of a comet, has been visible for severa
evenings in the northeast sky. 1t is
claimed by some to be the reflection OF
Star Furnace light upon cloud, but that
is knocked in the head by the fact that
the streak was there when the sky was
perfectly clear, and was always in the
same place. AS an old Jacksonion was
heard to remark, once, we think it is a
reflection in the hemisphere.". Ste
phen Stephenson is here. IA we'll
known mechanic, who is considerable of
a joker, was telling number of friends
tonight of how he got rid of a poor-pay-
ing customer-but it seems like good
deal of labor to accomplish the object.
"This fellow" said he, would come every
morning-before I was up sometimes
to get his tools sharpened. 1t ran on
thus for about month. One day he ask
ed me what my bill was. l told him it
was nothing, that it was hard enough
for me to do the work, without the addi-
tional work and waste of paper in charg-
ing it. The man got mad and quit, but
didn't pay up. "A young man who
has been working on the streets, under
guard, for some time, was discharged from
Jail to-day III had informed some of the
prisoners in Jail that he "intended to win
ter there" That is, he would persist in
committing small crimes so as to be con-
fined where he could enjoy life by sitting
by good fire, playing cards, reading, smo-
king, and the like. The Sheriff heard of
this, and cautioned the youth that there
might be such a thing as the Mayor SEN
fencing him to the dungeon on bread and
water, instead of the ease and luxury of
the better rooms. This was something
the youth had not thought of, and seemed
to make a deep impression upon him.
There is no rose without it's thorn.
THURsDAY.-Judge Miller is in Cincin-
natl. -. Thomas Ryder, colored man,
is circulating, to-day, petition to the
Ohio Legislature to pass Civil Rights
Bill. The Democratic majority are in a
tight place. If they do any
thing for the interests of the colored race
they destroy one of the most sacred ira
ditions of the Democratic party, that "all
men are created equal but a dam niger"
If they do nothing, they cannot hope to
fool many colored men into voting the
Democratic ticket They are good deal
ike the thief who broke into the barn.
They cannot go out the front way for
fear of the old man, and they cannot go
out the back way for fear of the dog.
A whole sled load of furs was bought to-
lay, on the streets, by Erwin Jacobs. They
we're opossum, coon, fox, skunk, &c. The
'kunks were especially lovely, as they
we're already perfumed. 49,. Three per-
ions professed conversion, and one joined
Church, at the M. E. Church, tonight.
.....Jo. Andres, of the Reading Room
net young Democrat from the country
who is generally very enthusiastic on the
subject of politics. The Democrat was
carrying an oil-can. "Well, I see you car
y your badge" said 10. The Democrat
asked what he meant. "Why." said Jo.,
since the Democracy of Ohio have sold
out to a monopoly-the Standard Oil
good Democrats must wear
he badge of the oil-can." But this young
Democrat could not see it in that way,
ind bitterly denounced the nomination of
Payne for Senator. -. Mr.. and Mrs.
Will. DuHadway have a new girl baby.
Dur old friend John M. Martin is, we are
)ained to learn, seriously indisposed. -.
Mr.. Yancy Lynch has moved away from
Jackson, and we understand it to be his
mention to remain away. Yancy is a
rood, warm-hearted fellow, wherever he
s. He did not leave us his address, but
We wish him success in his new field. -.
An engine on the Ohio Southern has a
louble whistle, such as is used upon
steamboats,. AS she squeals along the
shores of Salt Greek these frosty morn
ngs, one can almost imagine that Jim
Howe has come back, and started that
inc of steamers between Jackson and
Howe's Park.
FRIDAY-Warmert to-day, with a.slight
rain towards evening. Our old friend
William Hays called to-day to send copy
IF the Standard to his son, DR.. John w.
Hays, who is now Surgeon in the regu-
ar army, and stationed in Dakota. The
Doctor is in Clusters old regiment, and
mas splendid chance for promotion, and
for doing well by himself, generally. The
Doctors hosts of friends here will rejoice
in his success, and his prospects. He
ranks as Captain. Sheriff Cherington
on the streets to-day, what
the application of little common sense
to dry goods box will accomplish, in
sleigh. -. Jackson received
large spiritual reinforcements to-day.
Elders S. Fl. Bingham and W. o. Tomson,
of the Christian Church, and Elder Euans,
of the NJ E. Church, all arrived to-day.
Elder S. H. Bingham went to Four Mile,
Elder Euans preached at the NJ. E.
Church tonight, to a large congregation.
Elder Euans is on his way to Waverly.
The Committee who were getting
up the series Of entertainments at Jones
Hall, received letter to-day from &c.
Paul Smith," stating that one of the
Forbes children had died, and another
was sick, thus rendering it impossible
for Mr.. Smith to keep his engagement as
at first made. THE spiritual life of
the Jones Brothers has relapsed into a
"comatose" condition, as it were. They
