every building along the principal streets.
The exercises were held at 9 O'Clock,

A Very Old Lady Gone!

Mrs. Elizabeth Boggs (or Betty" as
she was familiarly known is dead She
was residing, at the time of her death,
with the family of Mr.. Henry Brunton,
of Franklin township. Mrs. Boggs was
the widow of the late Ezekiel Boggs, and
step-mother of Mrs. Cavett, Mrs. Carrick,
and Mrs. Walterhouse, of this place. Her
age is not definitely known, but it is
thought that she was nearly one hundred
years old. Some ten years ago, Pension
Agent Miller got pension of eight dol
lars month allowed her on account of
her husband having been soldier of
1912. Judge Miller says that at that time
he did not expect Aunt Betty to live until
he should be able to get the claim
through, but she has lived to draw the
pension for these many years. AS illus
trating the odd fancies that sometimes
come up in the aged mind, it is stated
that a short time ago some friends, a lady
and gentleman, called on the old lady
Being asked if she knew the gentleman
she quickly replied "oh yes, 1 know him
that is Mr.. Hastings" (She referred tc
the late Judge Hastings) The same in
quiry was made relative to the lady
when she answered "yes, that is Mrs
Hastings" Aunt Betty was member OF
the Christian Church. The funeral took
place at Four Mile, on Sunday

A Narrow Escape!

Orlando Stiffler went to the roof of the
Franklin Mill on Friday to clean off some
of the snow. He was told to push the
snow off into the alley, as there was not
much danger of hurting anybody. On
the building was an empty box which had
been used in fixing chimney. "Dick'
thought he would just push this off, too,
and down it went. 1t fell farther than
was expected, going over into Peter
Fischer's yard, striking little daughter
of Fischer's on the shoulder, lacerating
her shoulder and arm pretty severely
Mr.. Stiffier greatly regrets the occurrence
which was purely accidental. Had the
box struck her on the head the result
would probably have been far more Sc
riouS.

Tt will be remembered that some time
ago the stable at Eliza Furnace, Wellston,
was burned, together with number of
horses and mules. It was horrible af-
fair, and supposed to be the work of an
incendiary. Detective Lon. Campbell, of
Wellston, spotted a man named Charles
Call, who suddenly disappeared from that
neighborhood. After long and active
pursuit: he finally caught his man at
Peach Orchard, KY, and brought him to
Jackson and lodged him in Jail, where he
will have an opportunity to tell the Com
mon Pleas Court what he knows about
mules in general, and roasted mules in
particular.

We heard good one tonight about a
prominent physician of this place, who
formerly lived in the country. This doc

late Elder Backus, of Four Mile, had a
corn crib built with small door on the
side next the Street, for throwing in corn.
This little door was left open one night,
and during the quiet of the night Mr..
Backus heard a noise in his corn-crib.
Going out to investigate, he found the
large horse of DR.. .-- standing in the
road, leisurely munching corn from the

from professional call, and the horse,
feeling no restraining pressure upon the
rein, had quietly stopped to take a lunch.

There is much uneasiness felt by many
people at the prospect of hard times, and
many fears that they will not be able to
pull through the threatened depression
But this is all useless worry. The first
thing to do in the way of preparation is
to save money. The way to do this is to
buy your groceries and provisions at the
big store of D. D. DUNCAN, Jackson, Ohio.
Mr.. DUNCAN keeps the prices away down,
and the goods away up in quality, and
this great store is a positive blessing to
the community. You will find plenty of

Mr.. William Dawson, of Franklin
township, has On exhibition at the store
of Hunsinger, Peters & Co., some very
fine specimens of corn. The ears are from
9 to II inches in length, and the grains
are large and thrifty looking Mr.. Daw-
son says that he has perhaps hundred
bushels of corn in his crib that is as fine
as these specimens that were picked out
without any aim to select the largest.
This proves that as good corn can be
raised in Jackson County as on the Scioto
bottoms--or anywhere else.
