DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

of Mr.. George Ober and Miss Ada Z
Murray. The word was given out tha
= the wedding would take place at the Glib
'' son House, prior to the matinee, where
| the actors were to take part, but this pro
| gramme was changed, and arrangements
were made to have the ceremony per
formed at the Hall, in the presence of The
crowd. The marriage was by the beau
tiful ring ceremony, and was preformeo
by Rev. F. S. Davis, of the NJ. E. Church
There was a large concourse of the peo
pie of Jackson present, as these actors
have many friends here -. Mrs. Ella
Warren, wife of John Warren, of Oak
Hill, came up to-day, and is visiting
friends and relatives here. Mr. Jack
son Gilliland, of Mabees, called to-day
There are quite number of drunken
men staggering around the streets to-day
but they are quite-as quiet as drunk as
drunk as drunk men can be. One OF
them, an old acquaintance, stopped us on
the street this forenoon. He was in
fine humor, "wanted to be friends" sc
Yes, friend, we will continue to be your
friend, but if we had our way, the brute
who sold you liquor would soon be at
hard labor on the streets. AT the NJ
E. Sabbath School entertainment on
Christmas eve, Nara Whites class pre-
sented him with beautiful gold pen,
and ink-stand. 80. There was a young
man from the County Jail working on the
streets, under guard, a few days ago, for
a crime he had committed while drunk.
Two of the lowest of Jackson doggery-
keepers were watching him with evident
enjoyment One of them remarked 6
- them, they haven't got me working
on the streets yetp No, that is not the
way the thing works. The poor devil
who gets drunk must, after you get his
money, suffer all the punishment, while
you laugh at his misfortune, and enjoy
the money earned by his labor. Oh,
shame!
THURsDAY.-Mr Arthur Wade, broth
er of johnson Wade, who resides in Kan
sas, but who has been visiting here for a
few days, left to-day for route through
the old home neighborhood, thence to
Piketon, while Mrs. Wade went direct to
Piketon by cars. There was a heavy
rain this morning, but toward night the
weather changed to a freezing cold.
There were twelve young ladies and nine
young gentleman of Jackson attended a
dance at Wellston last night. C. Per-
cy Rhodes and Miss Mollie Hawk return

..... Mr.. Samuel Treace, of Monday
Creek, Hooking County, called at this off
ice to-day. .....T The Standard acknowl-
edges the re eceipt, to-day, of package of
nice wedding cake, bearing the "Compli-
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. George Ober.".
Mr. Kendall, of South Bend, Indiana, a
brother of DR.. r. N. Kendall of this place,
is here visiting his brother. The
Jackson Cornet Band played for the
"Path-fnders' entertainment tonight.
80. Business men must needs meet with
some strange experiences in the course of
trade, and one of them told us an anec-
dote which pretty clearly illustrates a
somewhat deplorable trait of human
character. A customer of doubtful rep
utation had been making purchases and
paying cash for the goods. One day he
was short, twenty-five cents. Now this
man had terrible bad name. yet one of
the clerks trusted him for the quarter.
AS the man went out of the store one
clerk called out to the other, "there, now,
you've lost that mans trade" 'Why,"
asked the other. Because" said the first
che will dodge US to keep from paying
that quarter, and consequently will not
bring any more of his cash trade here"
And so it proved. The clerk lost a GUS
toner by trusting him for twenty-five
cents. .... .Rentfrow's "Pathfnders" play
ed to an immense audience at the Music
Hall tonight.
FRIDAY.-The boys are enjoying a sea-
son of skating again to-day. -. Misses

they are walking on eggs. Mr.. E. 7.

vile, Ross County, called at the Stand
ard Office to-day. Mr.. Fairfax formerly
resided in this County. =. Prof. J. j..
Allison, of Gallipolis Academy, is in
town, attending the Institute, and greet
ing friends. And he has hosts of them,
too. Mrs. Allison did not come, but the
Prof. brought protrait Of his wife and
baby to show their friends here.
Among a number of teachers, to-day, we
noticed large, portly, fne-looking man,
with whiskers." and very pleas
ant smile. We took him to be President
Arthur, and were just going to ask him
for a Postoffce, when he spoke, and we
recognized our young friend G. w. C. Per-
ry, the teacher. The Jones Hall was
crowded to its utmost capacity tonight
to hear the closing exercises of the In
stitute. Prof Mendenhall seems to be
the most popular instructor who ever at
tended an Institute at this place, and
more than one person was heard to re-
mark that it would have pleased the au-
dience better to have had the Professor
talk during the entire time allotted to the
evenings exercises-dispensing with all
the other exercises.
SATURDAY.-In the large crowd of peo-
