nary town life to-day, by going out into
the hay field and stacking hay. -. Judge
Miller called several of his friends int(
Cooks this afternoon and "set up the wa
termelon." The campaign is getting hot
you know, with the Prohibition candi
dates in the field, and the Judge and his
| fellow-candidates must be looking to
their fences 80. Our young friend r. U
Wilson, of Coalton, called today. Bob
says the Blaine aud Logan Club at Coal
ton is f1ourishing. The members of the
Club have organized brass band. A
few days ago the boys sent off and bought
a cannon, weighing about 300 lbs. They
| loaded her up and touched her of-but
she was too full of enthusiasm. She was
so full that she actually exploded. .....
AL Brown has his mower out, and is
linking into" his meadow to-day. .....
There are some indications along Broad
way Street to-day that Broadway Street
is ION bender"
SATURDAY.-There was fire at Hurd
Mine No. 1, to-day, by which Morris L.
Sternberger lost a dwelling house with
perhaps three hundred dollars. Insured
by Prices Agency for two hundred. .....
Milton Phillips and his son Johnnie, of
Jefferson Township spent part of the
day with friends in town. Milt. still suf-
fers neuralgia pains from the desperate
wound received during the war. 49,. The
Odd Fellows who attended the funeral at
Winchester yesterday unite in praising
Tom Delay as a driver. Tom had large
express wagon drawn by two mules and
two horses. With these four wild and
untamed steeds, he kept ahead of all rival
steeds, and the driver who undertook to
pass Tom only succeeded in getting dust
in his own eys. Tom came in with fly
ing colors"-or, rather, flying mules.
Harry rench received couple of mock
ing-birds by express, a day or two ago.
They arrived in good condition-that is,
for the kind of birds they were. One of
them was dead, and the other was dying
......A petition is being circulated ask
ing that the propert5 holders on the east
side of Portsmouth street be required to
pave. Our old friend Alex Poor is in
town to-day. 80. William Warnecke is
cutting his field of wheat, beyond Star
Furnace. -. There is a church in this
County in which nearly, if not quite, all
the brethren are Democrats. A few days
ago, the minister was conversing famil-
iarly with member, and inquired as to
how another member was spiritually.
"Oh, he's all right since Cleveland is NOM
mated" was the reply, "and will be still
better pleased if we can elect him. The
good man, speaking perhaps with a GER
tain degree of spiritual wisdom and fore
sight, declared that he "was not quite
sure that that could be DONE" And he
was right. Cleveland's candidacy affords
precious little consolation to democrat.
..... Prof. c. A. Lackey is in town. .....
This would have been bad evening for
any one who cannot stand the smell of
tobacco smoke to be on the street. The
air was so thoroughly filled with it as to
makeit unpleasant to be on the streets
in some parts of town. The Little
10" Brass Band gave an exhibition of
their playing tonight at Pugh's Restau-
rant, and "Cash" Pugh reciprocated by
stuffing the los with ice-cream.
SUNDAY.-HotI. &c. A. Atkinson
went to Gallia County to-day to see
rich relative. A number of people
took in the Vinton County Camp Meet
ings to-day. Rev. T. M. Hopkins
time is out as Pastor of the Presbyterian
Church. -. The NJ E. Sabbath School
will hold a picnic at Pickrers Grove, on
Thursday, July 31st...... Miss BERTHE
Longbon sang the alto in NJ. E. choir to-
day-and beautifully did she sing it too
.FAe Sabbath School classes of W.
M. johnson and N. M. White will hold
picnic at Canter Caves on Wednesday of
this week. 49,. The fires have been lit at
brick-yards, for burning a
new kiln. All kind of shapes for build
ing purposes are being burned at these
yards. -. Among the persons from the
country attending church in town to-day
or tonight, were James A. Lackey and
wife, Henry and Herbert Summers, and
this will be the big wheat year in the
Northwest as compared with the past
four or five years. Harvest was two weeks
off when he came from Minnesota-and
they have been enjoying plenty of rain
out there. The weather has cooled
off tonight so as to make it actually
chilly.
MoNDAY.-Capt. J. D. Mitchell made a
trip to Jefferson township to-day on busi-
ness. A number of ladies called on Mrs.
Mitchell, and spent jolly day with her
and her family. There were present Mrs.
Currie, of Portsmouth, Mrs. Nook Sim
mons, of Bloom Furnace, Miss Susan
PAUL, Mrs. S. S. Hawk, Mrs. Fannie Mar
tin, Mrs. c. Rhodes, Mrs. w. T. Price, Mrs.
J. H Mackley, Mrs. James S. Baker and
Mrs. Lizzie Jones. Mrs. c. c. James was
present in the evening for supper. Mr..
MitchelPs residence is in beautiful To-
cation, half mile from town, on the hill
top. famed by pure air, splendid place
to pass a hot summer day. And this
crowd made the most of it. We met Mr.
Mitchell coming in from his business trip
this evening, and we judge from the way
in which he was moving. that he was
anxious to see the coast clear of that
noisy crowd before venturing near home.
1.-THE old shanty at the corner of
Pearl and Broadway has been treated to
a coat of paint-that is, the parts of it
where paint would stick. "A squad of
the G. A. r. brought out their guns to-
night and gave an exhibition drill upon
the streets. .... Tom Delay has traded a
portion of his livery supplies to a gentle
man at Wellston, for cattle. Tom still
keeps the big livery stable running at this
place, however.
TUEsDAY.-The dry weather has be-
come exhausted-as a joke. There has
not been shower here which amounted
to anything, since July 4th..... Grand
pap Baker is out on the streets. this
