description OF Sam. Fraley. InVeStlgs
tion proved, however, that it was not tn
: gentle and lovely Samuel.
= SUNDAY.-This is one of the lovelies
: of winter days-splendid sleighing.
e We attended Sabbath School at the M. T
q Church this morning, and afterward at
5 tended preaching at the Christian Church
9 where Elder Tomson discoursed eloquent
1 ly from the text "go ye into all the world
5 and preach the gospel to every creature.
J The Sacrament of the Lords Supper wa
r administered at the close of preaching
! service. The Christians, though possess
ing small Church building, have one O.
, the most active, working congregations
, and have a prosperous Sabbath School
Among the older men we noticed at thi.
church, were J. l.. Behem, Rufus Hun
singer and DR.. J. B. Johnson. Then there
is fine body of active young men, inclu
ding J. III. Harding, George Shaffer, Hen
ry Hunsinger, VIM. Behem, and others
The music was good, the entire service
was good-it was good to be there. .....
A general class meeting was held at M. E
Church in the afternoon.
| MoNDAY.-The "protracted meetings
at M. E. Church closed tonight. Very
little work has been accomplished in the
way of accessions and conversions. -.
Mr.. Franklin Clare called at our office
this morning. We had report of death
| in his family. This was a mistake. A
relative of his died, but it was neither
himself norhis wife. Now we are straight
again. -. Hon. III. G. Jones, of Near
| thur, is in town to-day. We met, on
the streets, to-day, Mr.. j. M. Watts, of
Webster, formerly citizen of this place.
He is looking healthy and happy. -. Our
| old friend. Horace Weeks called at the
Standard office to-day. Mr. Weeks was
born in Jackson, and is now in his 73d
year. He is a brother of James Weeks
who formerly resided here. His father,
James Weeks. was County Commissioner
from 1918 to 1924. Mr.. Weeks gave US
some interesting "reminiscences of the
early history of Jackson. We have here
tofore mentioned some old graves on the
McKitterick farm, north of town, and
near the old fort. Oi2 of these has head
and foot stones-carved roughly, the head
stone bearing the inscription: I'D. d.
1902" 1t has often been a subject of
wonder to US who this man could have
been. Mr.. Weeks says it was Daniel Dean,
and that the other two graves are those
of William Winters and Lucinda Boring.
Mr.. Winters was killed by log falling
upon him. The region between Jackson
and the old fort form an interesting field
for the antiquary. This old fort-the
trench of which is still some three or four
feet deep-was put up by the salt boilers.
Many of the old salt wells may yet be To-
Gated in the country adjacent to town.
Just spposite the slaughter-houses on Salt
Greek, there was located Salt Furnace, |
the burned rocks of which it was formed |
being still scattered about that locality. |
There were wells on that side of town, /
reaching on up to Jamestown. There were
also wells in different directions, notably
up McDowells run, and, we believe, on
poplar run. The well near the slaughter
houses was flowing freely but few years
ago, making great slick" about the place.
As boy we have dived many feet into
this well. The water was as cold as ordi-
nary well-water, and there was an un-
ceasing volume of bubbles rolling upward
from this well. The water was as SALTY
as brine" 1t used to be considered among
the boys that a bath in this well had great
medicinal properties. We trust our old
friend Weeks will call and see US when
ever he is in town. We love to brighten
up regarding these old-time memories. -. .
Hon. II. S. Bundy called to-day.
Mrs. Kate Warth, daughter of Judge
rripp, left, with her children, for their
home in Missouri, to-day. J. M. Tripp ac-

Mr.. Broadwell, travelling salesman for
Louis Snider's Sons, of Cincinnati, called
o-day. Mr.. Broadwell is going to leave
the road" and engage in the creamery
business in Illinois. When he does this
he road will lose one of it's finest fellows.
49,. Mr.. Witte, the jeweler, took sleigh
ide to-day. Or, at least, started to take
sleigh ride, but the sleigh and horses
howed disposition to go on, while the
,ed remained.
