Hoffman, now of Kansas. Mrs. Hoffman
died years ago in her western home
After some promotions we attended the
G. Penisten, of Pike County. He was an
excellent teacher, who died many years
ago. Our Superintendent at that time, j
R. Percy, thoroughly good teacher and
manager, was killed in battle, during the
war; While attending the Grammar
School, taught by o. S. Miller, we enlisted
in the army. We have always loved the
old School Building, and we always shall.
Our visit to-day called up many pleasant,
as well as some sad, recollections of the
olden time. When we attended School
here, Prof. Kinnison was very small
boy, and not a pupil in the building at
present was born. This seems like long
time. We were very sorry that we were
unable to attend the other rooms of the
| building, as we know that the same excel
lence prevails in all departments.
SATURDAY.-This has been lively day
in town, large country trade being in.
.Lafe Jones teaches class of little
boys in the M. E. Sabbath School. To-day

speed in hitching up the fire-engine team
yesterday, the horses, after being harness
ed, were taken from their stalls, hitched
to the engine, and the Captain of the Com
pany and driver were in their seats ready
to start, in eighteen seconds. Pretty
quick work, certainly "A man from
the Indiana Mine declares that they are
doing good shipping business there, con-
sidering the condition of things elsewhere.
49,. The Social of the M. E. Church was
held last night at the residence of Mrs.
Miller, corner Of Pearl and Broadway,
and was very pleasant affair. -. .Hellol
They tell us J. B. Howe is back again
from the west, where he has been for a
couple of months. We heard of a
prominent citizen tonight, hunting law
against hogs. Better hunt the hogs.
"A member of the Board of Health or
dered merchant to take away his horse
rack. If this is the most offensive thing
in town, we had better let up on the san
itary business.
SUNDAY.-Another heavy rain this ev-
ening. There never was better growing |
weather than we are having now.
There was good attendance of the G.. A.
r. boys at the Presbyterian Church this
to hear the memorial sermon by
Rev. C. Tedford. We are sorry that other
duties prevented us from attending, as
the sermon is spoken of as mastery eff
ort. We believe Mr.. Tedford was him
self Union Soldier. .... Quarterly Meet

frequently, at the M. E. Church,
by noise from the outside of the building.
It is a very prolific locality down that
way, and some of the little fellows forget

Parents should caution
hem against such matters.
MoNDAY.-Jehiel Graham, of Scioto
Township, died on last Saturday. aged
about sixty-six years. The funeral was
conducted from the family residence, and
was a very large affair, there being some
;hirty-five wagons in the procession, be-
ides large number of horsemen. The
'uneral sermon will not be preached for
ome two weeks OF more yet, we believe.
