, The clouds were sailing rapidly over th'
tod of the tree, creating an appearance
: exactly as though the top were falling
and the young man had really been run
ming from the clouds. The young
folks are having dance tonight in Jone:

! DAY-Thanksgiving! This is tht
day on which His Accidency George
Hoadly, Governor of Ohio, recommended
that the people return thanks to some
body or something. -. "A large congrega-
ton attended the Baptist Church this
forenoon, to hear Thanksgiving Sermon
by Rev. F. s. Davis, and to lift their hearts
in praise to the great Giver of All Good
and Perfect Gifts. In the pulpit were
Revs. Davis, Jenkens, Carr and Hen
Erickson. The choir was composed of
singers from Presbyterian, Methodist,
and Baptist Churches, Miss Clara Miller
officiating at the organ. The Sermon was
grandly eloquent and able effort. Pray
ers were offered by Revs. III. J. Carr, and
A. w. Long, benediction by Rev. d. J..
Jenkins The entire service was charac-
teriZed by spirit of true devotion, and was
| just such service as befitted the occasion
..... Most of the business houses remain

James Carr is hauling them on a sled,

to-day " Mrs. Jos Shropshise of Sam
sonville, has been spending day or two
with friends here, and returned home
this afternoon. Said citizen tonight
speaking of electioneering SANDERS: I'm

Virginia, before the emancipation. A
planter came home and said to his color
ed man: We'll, Sam. I've been nominat-
ed for office The colored man contem-

The firemen are talking of some kind of
entertainment for the benefit of the COM
pany, and for dedication purposes, in the
new town building, about the holidays.
SATURDAY-Met an old citizen going
along this morning, with spade on his
shoulder. In reply to an inquiry, said he
was going to spade up a garden. Spade
garden the winter?" "Why, certainly"
This, he said, is just the time. The spad-
ing of the earth, and turning it up in
winter, kills the worms; then, spading
up in the winter and covering with lime,
makes the best fertilizer known. Per-
haps the old gentleman was right; who
knows? 1t may be worth trying.
Andrew Roy is in town to-day. 80. Jones
Hall Rink is in full blast tonight. The
young folks are having jolly time, and |
enjoying healthful exercise, in the large
and comfortable room. .... DR.. Grant |
Ewing gave a public test to-day, after
noon and evening, of the Harden hand
grenade. for extinguishing fires. He is
agent for these grenades. The grenade |
is blue bottle, which upon inspection
would never create the impression that it
was powerful agent for the putting out |
of fires. Yet such it is. In the afternoon
test, Mr.. Ewing built a roaring fire of tar,
oil, shavings and wood, and when it was
burning fiercely. he threw bottle into
it, This bottle failed to break, when he
threw another, which broke, and the blaz-
ing fire at once became mass of dull
smoke, and went out. Another test was
given in the evening, which was equally |
successful. These bottles contain chem
ical preparation, which scatters through |
the fire. extinguishing it at once. The idea
of putting out burning building by
Il int OF II hn |
done. The same process which will set
man on fire, will put out a building. Ev-
cry man of family should call on Mr..
Ewing and learn the particulars with re-
gard to this wonderful invention.
SUNDAY-A brisk fall of snow lasted
nearly all the forenoon, but melted as
fast as falling. The average Sunday
School boy is now shaping his eyes to be-
hold the work of "old Santa" in the way
of Christmas trees, and such. Rev.
Davis preached tonight from the text:
"Jesus wept," being the shortest verse in
the New Testament. But there We're no
shortcomings about the sermon. 49,.
Again we call the attention of parents to
the Importance of sending children to

MoNDAY.-A romantic wedding took
place tonight at Mr.. Nieuvahner's on
Pearl street. Charles Wartig, from Iowa,
had been corresponding with Miss
Maggie R. Stevison. Neither had seen
the other until last Saturday-their cor
respondence having been brought about,
we understand, through newspaper adj
vertisement. The bride is a good girl,
and the groom is said to be in good cir
cumstances. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. zimmerman, and the
couple were serenaded by the Little 1O'
