He is travelling for Edwards, in the mai

his business at Ironton. On tn
horse-block in front of Miller's Store to
night sat two as consumate idiots as eve
disgraced town by their presence. The.
were, we understood, Rallroaders, but W
did not learn their names. Almost ever.
lady who passed would be the target fo
batch of insulting remarks and motions
from these scoundrels. Finally Officers
Hoskins and Jones came along, and theil
attention was directed to the smar
young men, when their conduct much
improved Another piece of work like
this will cause a complaint to be flee
against these scoundrelS. 1t would be 6
good idea for the officers to clean that
Grassland residence is being papered and
refitted in fine style. The prayer
meeting at the M. E. Church tonight
was serenaded by some one hammering
and banging around with hatchet OF
hammer, until it was positive nuisance
"A stream Of slop and filth was run
ming down Broadway Street gutter to-
day, which, by its horrible stencil, was
enough to sicken persons passing along
the street. This came from one of those
charnel-houses, the doggeries. 1t is of no
use to talk of cleaning up, or placing the
town in healthy condition when these
doggeries can empty their filth into the
principal streets of the town.
THURsDAY-A warm day, starting out
with slight rain. .TrOpic is raising
wind,"' for start in the iron business. -.
j. B. Howe sends to town this evening
for doctor Jim is very sick. -. Call
ing in at the residence of our old friend
W. w. Pierce, ON the Chillicothe road,
this afternoon, we met strong, pleasant
looking man, who was sitting upon the
step, talking to Mr.. Pierce. Look at
me-" said the man, @and tell me if you
know me-" We acknowledged our ina
bility to make him out" though he
looked somewhat familiar. Campbell"
said he. Then the past twenty years
came rushing back like pleasant dream,
and we remembered. Campbell-John
Campbell. as merry, light-hearted sol
dier with whom we campaigned through
Tennessee Alabama, Georgia, and other
Southern States. For seventeen years
we had not heard of John, and supposed
he had been detailed for duty in the
Great Camp "over the river" but here he
is, the head of family, and living with
in three miles of Jackson. Salt Greek
broke through into the old Tropic Mine
again to-day, and the waters went on an
exploring expedition "down in the Coal
Nine" The old bank is getting pretty
well punched with holes. In a little
trip along the Chillicothe road to-day, we
noticed-that McKitterick's brick-yard
stopped on account of rain, and the hands
were at work in the felds-o1d Pap Law,
at his pleasant home, was experimenting
some work in his garden-lot-Mr. Child
ers was working garden-lot near his
residence, the old Jacob Dickson farm
Mr.. Tufts at Buffalo Skull, was hoeing
a garden on the hillside, above his shop
at the Howe farm, men were plowing
and planting, goodly spot being put in
sweet potatoes. Nearly opposite the
homestead is the entrance of Coal mine
MIR. Pierce has one of the most pleasant
locations on the road, and his house is
surrounded by beautiful flowers, showing
the refined taste of the inmates of this
happy homestead. The calaboose at
the new town building was left in bad
state of repair by recent occupant, who
made way with one of the keys, knocked
a hole in water-pipe, and so on.
FRIDAY.-Henry Hughes, of Franklin
Township, brought IN his wool and sold
it -. Mrs. Mary West Smith, of Illinois,
is here again. 49,. Edwards and Caldwell,
are at work on Dungan's
pavem ent. A joke was perpetrated
to-day, which is too pointed to be lost. A
Democrat was boasting to a Republican
that tomorrow, at the Republican prima-
ries, men would be chosen to nominate a
candidate that he-the Democrat-would |
not vote for. "Oh," says the Republican,
those nominees won't need yoaIr vote
they cannot expect everybody to vote for
them-you know when Jesus Christ was
a candidate for the peoples favor, that
he had many opponents, but his principles
lived on, and are living yet. -. Mr.. Noah
J. Dever stated to-day that he had been
around to several of the County-Seats of
Counties. and that nowhere
had he found more life and business than
in Jackson. He reported Portsmouth as
also doing good business, considering
the times. We of course inquired about
Uncle Jack, and were pleased to hear that
he is doing well. -. George Warren, of
Oak Hill, is here to-day. 49,. AT test of
speed, on the part of the Fire Company
this evening the run was made from the
Engine House to the Baptist Church els
tern. and the engine was throwing water
in five minutes and twelve seconds. A
little time was lost by the large, clumsy
horse which draws the reel baking at the
cistern, and getting in the way of the en-
gine. The large horse turned around as
though about to start back up town, and
would probably have run into the cistern,
had not the driver of the engine team,
Moore, gotten down from his seat and
struck the animal several blows with the
whip. This horse is good enough cart
horse, but is totally unfit to have in fire
department, from the fact that he cannot
be depended upon at a critical time, and
the horses of fire company should be
perfectly reliable. A pretty exhibition
was given, double joint being used, and
two streams being thrown from single
