Educational,

The next session of our school will be
held in jackson, commencing Tuesday.
April the 7th. 1885, and continuing ten
weeks.
For nine terms the school has been in
operation at Oak Hill. and has been rap
idly gaining ground. An increase in at
tendance demands corresponding in
crease in facilities. For several terms
the school has suffered from a want of
proper accommodations in the way of
room. Arrangements have been made by
which this difficulty will not be expert
enced the coming term.
Jones Music Hall, and four large, we'll
arranged. and comfortable rooms in the
new school-bnilding havs been secured
for the use of the school. By this arrange
ment. from two hundred and fifty to three
hundred students can easily be accommo-
dated.
The Hall will be used for General Ex-
ercises every morning. for recitation pur-
poses part of each day, and for the Lit
erary Society. Efficient teachers will be
employed. Excellent boarding accommo-
dations. Boarding in private families,
including furnished room, per week, $500.
Board, in clubs. per week, $500.
Room rent per week in private family,
60cts. to each pupil, two in room.
The success of the school in the past
must be largely attributed to the hearty
cooperation and good will of the friends
of education throughout the county. We
ask continued support and cooperation
and trust that we shall ever merit the
same.

sometimes long to be among the

teachers, do you ever become discour-

Do you once stop to consider the

as they lay down the work Friday

We seldom have colder weather
here, than we are having this winter.
Have had six weeks Of snow, with the
temperature % degrees below zero a
part of the time.
A terrible snow and wind storm
swept through this section Of the
country yesterday. All day long
millions and billions Of fakes went
''hurrying and skurrying' The
storm abated after nightfall, and this
morning dawned bright and clear;
the sun shining upon vast heaps of
snow The roads are so blocked with
it, that in some places they are i'm
passable, the snow being drifted five
and six feet, thus spelling our sleigh

pleasant diversion for me to look out
of my school room window and see
the sleighs plough through the snow,

The Same Old Horse =!

Lieutenant Benz. Trago, of the Seventh
Ohio Cavalrey, had, during his service in
the South, obtained possession of Ken
lucky horse, of excellent stock. He was
a fine looking animal, but had one peculi-
arity-a "bob' tail. This horse was sent
home, and his father-in-law, Mr.. John
French was keeping the animal in the
Isham House Stables. When Morgan's
men arrived, after paying their respects
to the house, they went to the stable to
look for horses The old Kentucky horse
was led out, when one of the Rebels eX-
claimed: "Well, well! If there amt old
Bob! 1t CHANGED that the Rebel from
whom old Bob had been captured, was
with Morgan, and thus joined his own
horse in Jackson. 1t is needless to say

The Ore Was No Account.

We believe this story has never been
printed, but is entirely too good to be
lost. 1t is claimed that few years ago,
while Huron Furnace was in blast, the
late Jack Masters hauled load of ore to
the Furnace ground to sell. The mana
ger of the Furnace at that time owned
considerable land in the neighborhood.
and was himself putting in considerable
quantities of his own ore. Jack examin-
ed specimens. and discovered that his ore
was as good as the managers, if not bet
ter. But when Jack drove up with his
ore, the manager came and examined it,
and promptly condemned it as unfit for
use.
This course caused Jack some chagrin,
but he was determined the joke should
not rest upon his shoulders. Driving
back short distance along the road, Jack
took roundabout course. and. going up
to the managers bank, loaded his wagon
with the managers ore After waiting a
reasonable time, that the manager might
think he had been home after another
load, Jack came solemnly driving up
with another load of ore, and as he ap-
preached the scales, the manager came
out and notified him that he wanted no
more of that ore-'it aGdS no account p
Jack tried in every way to convince the
man that it was better quality than his
former load, and the manager was per-
suaded to come out and examine it, but
he promptly pronounced it worthless.
Jack then sorrowfully hauled away, and
dumped out upon the roadside, fine load
of the managers ore, which the owner
had himself condemned as worthless. 1t
was some time before Jack could control
himself sufficiently to tell the manager
about it, and when he did, that gentle
man did not seem to relish the joke at
all

Ended at Last!

Announcements were made through
out the Hooking Valley. on last Sun
day, that the Com missary had given
out, no aid was coming in in suf-
ficient quantities to make it possible
to hold out longer, and advising all
who could get work to take it. This
ends the great strike which lasted
almost year.
The price now paid is fifty cents
per ton. At this rate the Valley must
ruin the Jackson trade, and if, as
claimed, the Jackson miners cannot
work for any less than the present
rates. the coal trade Of this county
will be practically destroyed, for the
time being, at least, as the operators
evidently cannot run their mines and
compete with Hooking a present fig

Another Old Citizen Gone!

John Nelson, better known as LAND
lord" Nelson, died suddenly on Monday,
at the residence of his son, Absalom Mel
son, in Franklin Township Mr.. Nelson
was one of the oldest citizens of Jackson,
was for years a merchant in this place,
and perhaps no one of our older citizens
was better known than Landlord" He
was quite old, perhaps ninety or more.
He formerly kept store on the spot where
Hale's building now stands. When he dis
posed of his business at that stand, we
believe he retired from business. For
some time he had been living with his son.

Once in great while we hear a
man advocating the wholesale build
ing Of turnpikes in Jackson county,
but this advocacy doubtless springs
from belief that pixies build and
sustain themselves. We like turn
pixies. We have travelled upon them
and they are blessings-when kept in
proper repair. When not kept in re-
pair, they are not such an improve
ment as one would care to pay very
dearly for. The Waverly Watchmam
has frequently attempted to poke fun
at this county for having no turn
pixies, and much has been said Of the
wonderful trade that is being diverted
from Jackson on account of this lack
The fact is that turnpike to the
Pike county line would not bring a
hundred dollars worth additional
trade to Jackson in a year-in fact,
the Increased trade" would not keep
the pike in repair, to say nothing of
the cost of construction. But we did
not start out to oppose turnpikes, we
started out to refer enthusiastic pike
builders on paper to the experinee of
those who have constructed them in
fact. The last number Of the Watch
man contains this:
1--WE understand that petition is
in circulation, and is being extern
sively signed. praying the Commits
sioners to refuse to build any more
turnpikes until the debts that have
been contracted are all cancelled.
and the people in condition to again
take npon themselves the burden of a
debt"
That we need an improvement Of
some kind in our public road system
is evident to those who have occasion
to travel the roads in winter, but it is
equally evident that no taxpayer will
care to increase the burden Of his
taxes very materially. As one of the
beauties of extens;se pike building, we
give this extract from the same article
in the Watchman from which we
quoted the above:
''The bonded debt Of the county is
now one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars-the bonds due at
various periods within fifteen years.

A horrible story comes from
Springfield, West Va, to the effect
that Miss Cox, a young lady Of ex-
tensive acquaintance and great popu-
larity, was buried alive. She was
seized with neuralgia and the physiei-
ans prescribed morphine. One dose
was given, and another left to be
taken in twenty-four hours The
second dose was given in shor time
when the patient seemed to die. Two
days later she was buried, one woman
contending that the girl was not dead.
A couple of dogs sat near the grave
and howled through the greater por-
tion of the night. Next day the
grave was opened, and the discovery
made that the girl had been buried
alive She had revived in the grave
and torn the lining of the coffin to
shreds. as also her clothing. She
was of course dead when found.
