DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

WEDNEsDAY.-Harry French is on tn
sick list to-day. .... The firm for whicl
our old friend Lige Meacham has bee
travelling "busted." 49,. .Balsar Wollan
is working here, we believe at the Jack
son Planning Mill. We noticed Mrs
Harriet Draper, of Portsmouth, on tn
streets to-day. .....A travelling Docto
from Chillicothe, who was peddling lini
ment and salve in this region. called a
our residence to-day, and in conversation
stated that he had been to Coalton, and
while there he heard some men speaking
of the hanging of the Jones brothers
when he expressed the belief that it i:
best to hang all such fellows. sand vol
you thinks? ?" said he, "dey vos commence
to pick on me right away, and vas goin tC
Iun me out of dot town; vot kind of peo
pies haf you here anyway" We admon
ished the old gentleman that it was nice
point to say the right thing, al
the right time, and in the right
place. -. The young folks are having a
party tonight at the residence of j. d
Mitchell, half-mile west of town.
In conversation with a friend on the
street, with regard to the numerous dog
geries of this town, that friend remarked
that it was NECESSARY for police officers
to go into saloons, in the discharge of
their duties. This is an old cry, and as
silly as old. An officer has no more
business in saloon than dog
gery-keeper has in Paradise-not bit.
The only thing an officer can do by loaf
ing around saloon, is to encourage vio-
lations of the laws he is sworn to enforce.
..... The case of Maggie Trago VS.. Tobe
Trago, for the custody of child, was
tried before Judge Miller to-day, and de-
cision was reserved until Saturday. .....
AT the Council meeting tonight, Joseph
Hoskins was employed as policeman, in
place of Jared Martin, whose time ex-
pired. -. Mr.. Samuel B. Poindexter, a
colored gentleman, filed complaint
against John Reed, for unlawfully, felo-
niously, and with malice and afore-
thought, striking one Billy Graham, an
employe of Poindexter's. The trial was
set for 2:3O this afternoon, but Reed
who was in town all the forenoon, could
not. be found when wanted. The case
had to go over, but Sam. says he is not
through with it yet.
THURsDAY.-Workm are busy re-
pairing and renovating the Christian
Church. The building will be papered
and painted, and fitted up in neat style.
...... Mr.. Rip. Dickson moved to
Chillicothe to-day, where he has
business situation
Rip. is a splendid fellow, and we wish
him success. -. Our old friend William
Vaughn moved to-day to Clark County,
where he will farm. He took with him
twelve cows, and, we believe, two horses.
MIR. Vaughn has resided in Jackson for
many years, and leaves many friends here
who wish him success in his new loca-
;ion.. Mrs. Mary Hansee, of Centre
vile, arrived to-day on visit to her faith
er, Mr.. Henry Knox. Every time we
ook at the dilapidated old building, cor
1er of Broadway and Pearl streets, it
seems wonderful that some enterprising
business man does not secure the stand,
and erect good business house thereon.
That old building has history. 1t has
oeen used as a school-house 1--WE attended
school there many years ago., an artists
studio, a grocery store, and low dog
gerry. 1t was then deserted, and latterly
has only been used occasionally as fish
market. Could any building have a more
Varied history?. -. The carpenters fin@-
shed the wood work of Pugh's
Restaurant. 80. One of the candidates
,o-day remarked, when asked how he
was running, that he had bought him
/ COW now, and would run the campaign
IN milk instead of whisky. That would
De far more healthful, but not so attract
We in all cases. -. Rev. A. w. Long is
IN the sick list w. J. Mossbarger,
If Frankfort, Ross County, called at this
,ffice to-day. He is here buying cows.
lie is son of Samuel Mossbarger, who
lived near Jimes, in Madison
Township. Sheriff Cherington's father
md Mr.. Mossbarger's mother were broth
er and sister.
FRIDAY-The martins are twittering
lround this morning. This is an indica-
ion of coming Spring which never fails.
It will not be long now until we may
ook out for balmy days, golden butter,
,heap eggs, "bacon and green's" and all
he other Spring blessings. -. Ed. Poor
s building again on the lot on South
street where his building was burned
some time ago. ..... George Pugh has
moved into his new quarters. :. There
S said to be considerable whooping-cough
n town. Marshal Owens informs us
hat both of his children have it,.
Coming along the street to-day we met
James Meacham ST. The old gentleman
is now in his S5th year, but gets about
readily. He begins to feel his weight of
years, however, and claims that unless he
keeps stirring about, he at once becomes
quite feeble. -. Mr.. David Blagg is re-
building the warehouse in the rear of
Steele's store-which warehouse was bro
ken down by the weight of snow.
into the store of our old friend
L. W. French tonight, the conversation
turned upon keeping property in order
yards clean, trees and shrubbery neatly
and so on. Dick Stiffler was
present, and Mr.. French stated that Dick
claimed to be his (French's) family physi-
clan, as he kept French's property so
clean that neither himself nor his wife
can get sick. And there is good deal of
sound sense in such reasoning. Now,
while it is cool, nice working out of doors,
the grounds surrounding every residence
should be carefully cleaned up and put in
shape. 1t may cheat the Doctors, but
they are all good fellows. and can stand
