IS Gilmor, the veteran educator .... BAN
sci Lackey is shaking hands with acquain'
). tances in town. Robert Harper, the
II popular young business man of Coalton
called to-day. "Bob" is prosperous be-
q cause he deserves to be-. We notice
q Joseph Aten Esq, candidate on the Pro
I hibition ticket for Probate Judge, in town
to-day. Sammy Callaghan, son of
VIM. J. Callaghan, rode colt into town
to-day and put him within picket en-
closure at the residence of Harry French.
The colt leaped over, breaking the tops of
some of the pickets, and cutting an ugly
cash in the colt. 80. Capt. T. j. Evans,
of Coalton, is in town. -. DR.. j. A.
White, of Liberty is with us to-day.
A member of the society for the preven-
tiOn of cruelty to animals got into har-
rowing situation on Broadway day or
two ago, in which he was compelled to
stand and see a man turn two poor little
cute rats over to the tender mercies of
terrier dog. Every enthusiastic
weather-prophet may now say, 81 told
you So" for the rain came. -. Elmer C.
| Powell appeared tonight in fine new
white plug hat-a Blaine hat, and created
quite sensation. 49,. The meeting of
the Blaine and Logan Club at the Court
House tonight was well attended, good
| ly portion of the crowd being ladies.
Close attention was paid to the speaking,
and the best of order prevailed. 1t was a
good meeting. .Ha! There nowl That |
settles it as to what brought the rain. 1t |
was the new moon!. This has been |
lively day in town, the streets and busi-
ness houses crowded, and quite an extern
sive trade carried on.
SUNDAY.-Cloudy and pleasant. go.
The M. E. Sunday School have made ar
rangements for ,lic at PickrePs
Grove, on next Thursday. The members
of the School, with parents who will
come, will meet at the M. E. Church at
the ringing of the bell, about $50 in the
morning. 49,. While sitting at our resi-
dence to-day, we noticed great crowd of
boys and young men hurrying down the
alley near Mr.. Ramsey's residence, as
though greatly excited. Thinking there
was fire, OF murder, or something ter
rible on hand, we hurried in that diroc-
tion. The crowd turned down past the
Dickson property. When we arrived at
the end of the alley, the cause of the
great excitement was revealed. They
were getting up game of baseball in
the field back of Mr.. Sutherland's. We
believe the police stopped the young
would-be rufflans from playing. The
German Sabbath School had picnic in
PIckrel's Grove to-day.
MONDAY.-A good long rain, to-day. -.
The melancholy bell of the perambulat-
ing knife-grinder is awaking the echoes
on the streets. ..Jo. Swan, of Liberty
is in town. -. Luke Garrett, jr., of Sci
oto is smiling on his many friends in
town to-day. We heard a Democrat
one who was a good soldier during the
tonight, the claim that
the Government should now pay soldiers
of the late war the amount of the differ
ence between coin and green-backs dur
ing their term of service. While this
looks plausible enough-especially to
those who argue it-there must be
place of drawing the line. We would
very much dislike to have it appear that
it was the hope of receiving thirteen dol
lars per month which took us into the ar
my. -. George Dever is in to-day, and
says there has been such good rains over
in his neighborhood that the little streams
are swollen. 1t looks like hollow
to see great array of fruit jars
sitting in the stores. One merchant
+ remark ed to-day that the peo-
pie might use the jars in putting up
as they were small enough to
can.". The threshing machine took
up its temporary abode with John Bas-
quill, on Saturday. -. Polk Stewart, at
the corner of Pearl and Broadway, prides
himself on having the cleanest store in
town. If you don't believe it, just stop ]
there and watch him sweep. We told
a Democrat tonight that the Democratic 1
platform advocated the pensioning of the
soldiers of the wars of the Republic"
and he would not believe it for some time
Finally he declared that he did not think
even the Democratic party could be so {
"ornery."
TUEsDAY.-Sheriff Cherington caught.
and lodged in Jail at this place, James
White, of Pike County, who stole Will
Horse one day last week
DuHadway had gone down the Piketon q
road to look at some hay, and hitched his
horse. When he went to get his horse ,
again it was gone. DuHadway went as
far as Chillicothe.in search of the thief,
but failed to get hold of him. He was !
caught east of Zaleski, Vinton County.
