uulo Ol scrip Will SIlll De USeu, unIdAeu
The way to abolish scrip-as appears
from study of the situation-is to make
it unlawful for men to make contracts.
-. There was not nearly so much mis-
chief on the part of the boys tonight as
many expected. Some contemplate
scoundrel placed strip of lumber across
the sidewalk on Portsmouth street
where number of ladies and children
had to pass, with the evident intention OF
tripping and hurting some one AT the
new Cherington residence, on South
street, a number of bricks were removed
and piled in the street, and Mr.. Charles
Jones' gate, near by was carried off. tits
high time that stop was put to such
deviltry. And it can be stopped if pa
rents will make it their business to know
where their children are on Halloween
night, as they should know on every
other night. Citizens do not feel that
they should be compelled to sit up and
watch their property to keep it from be-
ing destroyed. A few Halloween spank
ings would be good thing AT the
Rink tonight, Manager Ruff made pres
ent of pair of skates each to Miss Patsy
Poor, and Mr.. Ora Evans.
SUNDAY.-Cold and rainy. No SER
vices at Presbyterian Church. 49,. The
creeks are rising "A queer fancy dis
played in the painting of buildings in
this place is the use of black and red
paints. The gables of buildings may be
seen in both black and red. -. Jonathan
Trexler is getting fine road graded to
his farm on the Hobby" hill, southwest
of town -. The fierce, heavy wind Of
to-day will make excellent nutting dur
ing this week. The road from town
to the old Huron has been filled with clay
taken out of the grade of Huron Street.
IA few warm days just now would
make the pastures spring up wonderfully
MoNDAY.-Some mischievous persons
built two fences across the Gallipolis
road, short distance from town on Sat
urday night, and they remained up until
to-day. But there was no travel that way
on Sunday. -. There begins to be heard
talk of coming out by some of the miners.
-. The Winston & Gum Combination
drew moderate sized audience at the
Rink tonight. The elephant act was
quite comical, but the other acts would
be very good things to leave out of the
programme "Jumbo" is worth seeing.
-. George Steele and wife are in town.
We learn that Grant Ewing and
wife will settle in Indiana, and that Mrs.
Edwards will go with them. A young
man from near Mt. Zion was arraigned
before Mayor T. A. Jones to-day for dis
turbing meeting, or rather singing school.
He was fined five dollars and costs and
went to Jail in default 1t seems that
some way ought to be found to compel
such criminals as are sentenced in the
Mayors Court to work out their fines and
costs on public works, such as grading
streets, improving highways, and so on.
Now, the jail is only picnic to some fell
lows in the winter time. 1t should be
made terror at all times. .... While the
"two Johns were performing at the Rink
tonight, and just after they had gone be-
hind the curtain, little Katie Himrod,
who had been watching their bald heads,
looked across the room and espied the
bald pate of George Berdel, the Rail
roader, when she suddenly cried out: "Oh,
papa, there's another JoI71!'
TUEsDAY-C. F. Cartright is in town.
-. H S. Bundy and W. E. Bundy, of
Wellston, came down this morning.
Mr.. James F. Morgan, of Centreville,
brother of DR.. John F. Morgan, of
this place, is in town THE first snow
of the season fell yesterday-quite heavy
for few moments, but lasting only a
short time. The youth who was fined
yesterday for disturbing meeting, paid
out, and was discharged. -. The quail
hunters are industrious, but there is not
much territory in which hunting is per-
mitted.
Thanks. to my old friend, Mrs. Long
