County, Jefferson and Madison Tow1
ships, and part of Franklin. 49,. M
Slough, of the Centreville Cheese Fat
tory, called to-day. He is canvasing thi
territory for trade. "A cruel joke wa
perpetrated upon a wayfaring man fror
Ironton, by some men over about th
Valley House, who had not the fear @
| future punishment before their eye!
The man came to the hotel, having wit
him valise, which he sat down, and be
gan to complain of hard times and scarci
ty of work Some of the folks rigge
him about being a drinking man, urgin
that as reason why he was unsuccess
full. He then proposed to prove by tn
Bible that it was perfectly right to drink
| Hauling from his old valise a Bible ant
a New Testament, he began to enlarg
upon his views, and finally wound up b,
begging some one treat to the whisky
FINALLY some one-John Laird, we wer,
told-agreed to give the man an order tt
"One-Armed Jack" on Main Street, fol
drink, writing the order and telling th'
man to go up to the scales and show his
order, when the weighmaster would show
him where to go. The man left in higt
glee, with visions of good red-liquol
dancing before his eyes. At the scales
Dave Griff1ths looked at the order, and
solemnly pointed the man to ''One-Armed
Jaek''-the tooon pump Such treat
ment is cruel, and calculated to drive
business-the tramp business-away
from town. A free concert in the
open air tonight which drew large
crowd. 1t seemed, however that both
the fiddle and the banjo had severe colds.
E. w. Mitchell is back from trip
west. =. John D. Davis, of Jefferson,
is in town. Judge Miller has a joke
on himself, which he can tell better than
anybody else. At recent inquest in the
case of an insane lady, some friend asked
her if she did not think that she was a
little out of her head. "Oh. yes," she re-
piled. ''but 1 know more than the Judge
now y. 49,. 1t may be observed, daily, or
any other time that there is great deal
of vain pretension in this world, and
greatness is assumed on very little foun-
dation. Things of insignificant proper
tions are magnified into astonishing di-
mensions. A well-known Attorney tells
of a bit of his experience over on the Sci
oto River. A contract had been made by
the authorities to keep up certain en-
harkment or levee on certain property,
and the owner requested the Attorney to
go and measure the work, to ascertain as
to its being level, and well-made When
the Attorney got there, he found no in
strument with which to measure. But
lhe owner remarked that friend was
coming with the theodolite !" This
frightened the Attorney, for he did not
know just how to work theodolite. He
saw the man coming, however, and
oraced himself for the work. He came
Up with the wonderful theodolite-and
t was an old spirit-level, with stick to
et it upon.
