ing near Cross Roads, called to-day. Hi

Mr.. Brady is one of our best young men
..... Uncle Sammy CLAIR is in town to

Morgan, Postmaster at Oak Hill, is in
town to-day. Well, there's another
problem, as simple as possible, yet to the
uninitiated provoking much argument
1t has not gained residence in Jackson
because we all know too much about it
A gentleman visiting from another town
says it was an all-absorbing topic there for
many days. It is the question which OF
rabbits feet make the single track, and
which make the double, or forward track.
AS every country boy knows, the fore legs
of a rabbit are held very close together in
running, the animal alighting upon the
fore feet first, then the hind feet reach
forward still further in alighting. .....
Several of the young men inaugurated the
summer season" tonight by calling upon
well known lemonade dealer, and hav-
ing him "shake-em-up" for them.
SUNDAY.-There is not much to be OBJ
served in Jackson. on Sundays. but
Church, Sabbath School and Home Life.
Our former great array of furnaces has
dwindled to two, and these with the as
Sistance of the engines on the 0. S. Road,
furnish about the only signs of everyday
life. d. H. Whetsel attended church
in town -. Rev. G. Tedford of the Pres
byterian Church will deliver the address
before the meeting of the Bible Society
next Sunday night. Mr.. Tedford is quite
popular with his charge. There is
much discussion going on over the coun-
try as to the harmfulness of or harmless
ness of skating rinks and other forms of
amusement, and we hear the question
frequently asked where is the harm ?"
There is nothing harmful in any
thing about which cluster no
harmful associations. This idea,
with the help of personal experience
and observation, is a safe one. AS a min
lister said to some of his young members,
"if you can do thing and feel that you
are serving the Lord, do tits nobody's
business"
AY.-Superintendent Harbarger,
of the Infrmary, called to-day. He re-
ports lively business out his way. There
were this morning 1O7 inmates, and the
family of the late Anderson Lackey was
sent for to-day. There are some seven or
eight of these, which would increase the
number to about lis. There have been
up, for outside relief, during the
last three months, some five hundred
needy persons. These have been mostly
and citizens of Lawrence
and Scioto Counties. Mr.. Harbarger says
The amount of actual want and misery in
the County is something astounding. In
some places where he has been there has
been a manifest need of the necessaries of
life. Two families were found who actu-
ally had not sufficient clothing with
which to cover themselves. Pauperism
seems to be rapidly increasing of late....
Stephen Morgan called to-day. We are
pleased with the prospect of having Mr..
Morgan for citizen of Jackson. His
School here ought to be grand success.
The taking of the Lackey family to
the Infirmary, is the last, sad scene con-
nected with the tragedy of the murder of
Anderson Lackey by Luke Jones. Jack
son County hung the murderers, and now
to keep the widow and orphans.
TUEsDAY.-Sheriff Lively took Mrs.
Rice, formerly Miss Grover, an insane
person, to the Athens Asylum to-day.
The unfortunate woman was arrested
and brought in one day last week by
William Howe, Deputy. Mr.. H. had a
exciting experience, as the
woman is large and strong, and took a
sudden notion to kick Howe out of the
buggy. 49,. The latest, as we go to press,
is that there is no hope of settling the
mining troubles, as a higher rate than So
cents cannot be paid.
