some one to play a joke on the MAJ
stuffed the horn full of something, bu
the player blew all day without knowing
it, and the other band boys declared tina
he played better that day than any Other
and would have regarded it as an i'm
/. provement if he had kept the thing plug
7 ged all the time. "A new roof is bein:
!. put upon the Baptist Church. 80. .Th
saloon-keepers are not favorably disposed
toward the Skating Rink. One has beel
known to express the solemn conviction
that the Rink is the worst thing for thu
town that has ever been started here
"Why," said he, people will fool away
their money at that place and can do NJ
business at ALL" How sadl That people
will give their money to Folly, instead
of to the Devil direct!. AT little
show tonight, a scene was presented in
which woman was to kill two men
Marching up cautiously while the men
were doing, she fired one shot and killed
them both.
SATURDAY.-A beautiful day, and the
town full of people. Mr.. w. T. Price,
of the c., w. & B. Agency, recently sold
two tickets to Tacoma, Washington Ter
ritory. The parties are going to Van
couvers Island. -. Miss Lola Kelley,
daughter of Nelson Kelley, a well known
and highly esteemed colored gentleman
of this place, died this morning, after
much suffering. She had been afflicted
for years with spinal disease, and was
somewhat crippled. IA man whose
name had gotten into the paper in con-
nection with some joke, remarked to-
night, "You think you're smart. putin
me in the paper-you newspaper fellows
are always putin some trash in the pa
per-" Couldn't dispute him. -. Charley
w. Schellenger, Albert MoTiarty and Chet.
Dyer have Joined the Cornet Band, the
latter playing the piccol6, and the others
clarinets. These gentlemen make val
liable addition to the Band, and make a
much-needed improvement in the music.
-. In the light of the fact that we are
living in an age of aches and pains, and
that everybody must have medicines of
every conceivable and inconceivable kind,
cOllu l.. IAOOIO 1IoH. gave w d VI
friends this evening an incident which
will bear repeating many times. Mr.. M.
was residing in another county, and was
one day sitting in a drugstore, when a
number of prescriptions from travelling
doctor were handed in at different times
He noticed what seemed to be similari-
ty between the different prescriptions,
though given for different ailments. Upon
examination the prescriptions were found
to be the same, and the formula was that
of an old-fashioned cough-remedy which
had been manufactured in that neighbor-
hood for years, at a cost of perhaps twen-
ty-fve cents a quart, and these good peo-
pie were paying two dollars and fifty
cents each for small bottle of it. But
it was a strange man, who had travelled
many miles to save dying people, you
know.
SUNDAY.-Rained nearly all day. Miss
Kelley was buried this forenoon. -. No
services at M. E. Church this evening,
owing to the excessively bad weather. -.
To person walking along the streets
of Jackson on Sunday morning, the idea
suggested is that the town has been yis-
tied, the night before, by a lot of sick
dogs. At intervals of a square or two, is
the disgusting spectacle of where some
man or boy has thrown up the disgusting
mess with which he has overloaded him
self in some of the low doggeries that
seem to have absolute possession of this
town.
MoNDAY.-A real blast of winter, with
rain and snow. We noticed dealer
selling articlse quite cheap. A merchant
but few feet away called US in and
showed us the same articles, which he
sells at one-half the price of the street
dealer. But the street man was raking
in money. .....E. B. Edwards, of Sam
sonville, is in town. James Meacham
is building for the company at Center
Valley. IA tame crow was sitting
upon Portsmouth Street doggery build
ing to-day, gazing solemnly at crowd of
men coming out of a doggery on the OPP
posite side of the street. 1t suggested
the idea of Poe's raven, solemnly ajacu-
Eating "Never morep. d. Lewis, of
Samsonville, is in town.
TUEsDAY.-Cleared off Large
amount of poultry coming in.
new crossing has been put down, corner
of Main and Bridge SITS.
