denbrand was the widow of the late John
Hildenbrand, Superintendent of the In
firmary, before marrying his brother
Thomas. She was sister of John @.
Elliott. When Mr.. Brewster was
speaking to-day, and paying tribute to
the dead soldiers for having settled the
doctrine of disunion, one Democrat in
the audience got up and solemnly marched
out. 1t was TOO much. "A gentleman
from Gallipolis was entertaining some of
our Band boys on the street tonight with
regard to the wonderful playing of the
the staff does your Band play?" asked
one of the boys. "1'hree octaoes!" was
the reply. wv. II. Sloan, of Jefferson,
is in town. -. Capt. Tim Evans was in
command of the Coalton squad to-day.
go. John w. Horton of Jefferson is
here to-day. 49,. Winfield Scott, of Coal
ton, is in town. The fire company
turned out in splendid style, at the
parade" to-day. If the people of
Jackson attempt to observe Decoration
day next year, there should be better
arrangements than were made this year.
There seemed to be no concerted plan of
any kind, and nobody was able to give
any idea of what the programme was to
be- The people stood around the streets |
waiting for three hours or more, trying |
to learn what was to be done. One Min
lister told US, at 10 o'clock that he was to |
go to a certain cemetery. We informed |
him that the boys had marched to that |
place an hour before. We are not speak
ing in a spirit of blaming anybody. 1t
was merely oversight, and lack of atten-
tion to detail 1t will not do to wait for
the regular train from up the road, at
eleven o'clock, before starting. Care
should be taken to make this day our
citizens would take pleasure in honoring.
We really think it would be better to
omit all parades except the military or
ganizations-as is the custom in other
places at the cemeteries and
there have short and appropriate ad-
dresses.
SUNDAY.-No services at Presbyterian
Church to-day. They are papering and
renovating, generally, over there, and
will have beautiful room hereafter. =.
"A number of young men took a hand
to-day. -. We paid visit this after
noon to Mr.. Lofts Ore Banks. west of
town. A tremendous amount of digging
has been done here during the last few
years, and great deal of ore taken out,
but the great hill is full of ore and LIME
stone yet. The banks are being worked
yet, and it will be many years-if the
work continues-before the minerals in
this vast hill will be exhausted, certainly
not in our old friends time. This mine
IS about a mile from town.. The rage
Tor robbing birds nests is in full blast :
here, and boys improve the time, Sunday l
rs well as other days-in the wicked :
work. Nests of all kinds are broken up,
merely to secure a collection of eggs. !
This is a horribly criminal practice, and
parents should see to it that it is stopped
It once. 1t is of more Importance that
he beautiful birds should increase in
numbers than that some boy should have
/ bigger collection of eggs. than some
,ther boy.
