sprained ankle. ...W. G. Gould and
family took their departure for Tusca-
rawas County. -. The show business is
lively in town. The Indians at Jones
Hall, and the Wren Company at the Cres-
cent -. The streets of Jackson are be-
coming badly cut up with the heavy
hauling which is constantly being done
..... AT the free tooth-pulling at Jones
Hall, there were many funny incidents.
One young lady marched up on the stage,
but when she saw the instruments backed
out. "Brockan" James took his place in
the chair. but had the wrong tooth
snatched out before he had time to say
so. Sam Wagner had number pulled
and seemed to like it. The strange thing
is, that with two good dentists in jack
son, none of these vast crowds of people
ever thought of having their teeth taken
out. Mr.. Alther has rented the late
residence of Mrs. Susan Edwards, and will
move into it shortly. This communi-
ty was shocked yesterday to hear of the
sudden death of John S. Hawk, who fell

THURsDAY.-Indian summer weather.
There is practice among the little
school-boys which should be discouraged
by both teachers and par
ents, as far as possible. On almost every
day one may see from ten to twenty-five
little boys playing keeps" for hickory
nuts. One nut is thrown down and an
other "shot" at it. after the manner of
playing marbles, and the one making the
worst shot must give his competitor a
nut. Innumerable quarrels arise, and
these games have come to be an intolera-
BILE nuisance, in some localities. The
games seem innocent pastimes in them
selves, but the gambling feature should
be omitted, or the game given up. This
is the first lesson in the gambling world,
and is dangerous for that reason. -. The
Grant Club had good meeting tonight
at the Committee Room, which room will
be conveniently fitted up Immediately.
.... An immense crowd at the "free
show" tonight, and the teeth flew in a
lively manner C. A. Atkinson and
