DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

WEDNESDAY. = Cooley is laying tn
pavement at the Mrs. McGhee propert
to-day. -. Mr.. Hall, one of the mana
gers of the camp meeting here last sum
mer. called this morning, and Informed
us that his choir, under the leadership O.
of Mr.. Currie, will commence camp
meeting at this place on October 1st. Thi'
is the same choir which sang here las
summer. Shortly afterward we met Mr.
J. HI. Hickman, who says that the colore(
| folks belonging to the church here intend
| beginning a camp-meeting about the
same time. So it seems that things spir
itual are to have a boom in October
Well, that will be a good time for sacred
music, as the Democratic party is to be
buried then. Mr.. Kuehner has made
a cistern in the lot back of his store. -.
Rev. J. w. Gum is in town tonight.
There go Jim Trip and Elmer Powell on
their way down into Bloomfield Town
ship to make speeches. We notice that
Jim is handling the lines. This is be-
cause Elmer got bad reputation as a
driver, by upsetting Ambrose Leach and
himself. out on the road one night. .....
Our old friend J. G. Cahoon has not
learned how to fall over tub of rain
water yet, but he's almost. He tried it a
few nights ago, and is now enjoying the
farewell. 49,. There was wreck on
the railroad somewhere, and Elder Car

did not arrive until midnight. .Messrs.

THURsDAY.-This has been scorcher,
one of those days when one feels that the
thermometer lies. -. There was an ex-
citing race on Main street, this morning,
between a man on horseback and large
bull. They were bringing the animal up
to get him weighed, and at last succeeded
and he weighed 1850 pounds. -. There
is good deal of sickness. We heard one
doctor complaining last night that his
practice is such as requires constant at
tention, and another to-day was complain
ing of being completely worn out. -.
There are large quantities of plums in
the market at one dollar bushel. .....
Over on Portsmouth street this evening
the natives were aroused by the most un-
earthly footing and squawking, as though
a demon were playing upon a split from
bone. The people rushed out, and were
greeted with the cry: rags, old iron
bones" from the vender. you've got
the bones there, driving in front of you"
yelled several small boys in the street,
pointing to his horse. 49,. AT the meet
ing at at the Fair Ground, tonight, Elder
5. HI. Bingham led the singing, and Elder
L. L. Carpenter made religious talk"
taking as basis of his remarks, Paul's
first Letter to the Corinthians. Elder
Carpenter is fluent, easy talker, thor
0ughly in earnest, and effective. The
yood-sized audience within the tent paid
close attention, but some young persons
On the outside annoyed both the speaker
and hearers by persistent loud talking.
.... Harry French is moving to-day to
Springfield Mines. We were in error
asst week in saying that Mr.. Goulding
had rented the Evans property on Ports
mouth street. Wash. Reeds supply
wagon, from Winchester, was passing
along Main street to-day. She was load
I'd down to the guards with boxes of bot
lies, and as Wash. drove through the
streets he had the appearance of reform
statesman, starting out to make a Leo
Ebert speech. u
FRIDAY.-The hottest day in season.
Mrs. w. D. Davis called this morning.
Her husband has accepted situation as
oook-keeper with Mr.. Nipple, coal opera
or. We are glad to hear of Mr.. Davis

If the town, the speaker had to call atten-
ion to their disgraceful conduct. There
was gang of five OF six of these who
acted like absolute idiots. The member
ship of the Christian Church should qui-
city secure the names of such and have
them prosecuted for disturbing religious
A trip to the Mayors office or
Court House might learn them some
sense. -. The Tea of the Women's For
eign Missionary Society this afternoon,
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w.
Miller, was time of great social enjoy
ment, and we regret very much our ina
bility to be there. George enjoys the
company of his friends, and Mrs. Miller
is one of the most pleasant and accom-
plished entertainers in town. AT the
fire to-day, some dissatisfaction was ex-
pressed at the handling of the engine, but
the boys did as well as it was possible to
do; their captain was not here, being en-
ployed up the creek, and this cut their
force short, but they did all that could be
done, and did it promptly.
SATURDAY.-Thisd day in the week is
always a sort of reunion day in jackson,
the farmers and in many instances their
families coming in to do their trading,
and it does one good to see old aequaint-
ances from different neighborhoods TAX
ing each other by the hand and talking
over the past and comparing notes as to
Gods goodness to mankind. -. We had
a call to-day from our old friend Green
Delay. Ralph Holmes, the new pitch
er of the Jackson Ball Club, arrived this
morning. An exhibition game was played
this afternoon, when Holmes demonstrate
ed that he is remarkable pitcher, the
players on the opposite side striking wildly
at the air when the ball passed. -. Mar
