The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1885-10-29

SATURDAY.-The piece of road from
Jackson to Browns School House, has
been thoroughly worked, from time to
workings, as it is terribly rough yet. =.
M. T. Vanpelt and J. w. Scothorn of
/ Wellston, called to-day. Mr.. Scothorn is
an applicant for position under the For
aker administration, and would doubtless
fill it acceptably if successful in securing
| the appointment. "A little child of
William Long is ill with fever, another
member of his family having just recov-
cred from an attack of fever. Mr..
| Browns new house on South Street is
finished, the plasterer having concluded
his work ID II. Wilson, and r. U.
Wilson of Coalton, are in town tonight.
r.. w. Jones of Oak Hill is in town.
=. Morris Sternberger, Charley James
and Evan Thomas, are making the new
planning mill go with vim. No idleness
around the establishment. The Main
Street doggery spoken of some time ago
as complete nuisance, is eXcelling its
best record in that line. The picture
presented from the outside does not speak
well for the civilization of our town.
That portion of the street is rendered
practically impossible at times, although
it is unlawful to block up the sidewalks.
We would suggest to those interested
that good many people are quietly MAX
ing note of the way things are running,
and the result of their observati ons will
find expression, most emphatically, some
e Toh of
Cross Roads is in to-day. He shows evil
dences of poor health. Wellington
Evans had narrow escape with his
f-possession" in the recent campaign.
One of the Democratic politicians
remarked that he could "fX that Vel
lington Evans "yust buy him."
SUNDAY.-Supt. Atkinson of M. E.
Sunday School has gone west on short
visit. -. Rev. J. K. Gibson preached at
the Presbyterian Church this morning.
=. A number of gentlemen were standing
in front of Miller's drug store to-day,
when lady leaned from the window of
the upstairs, where George Blagg resides
and called George who was in the crowd |
"to come up and get bucket of coal"
When he came down stairs he whispered
in the ear of DR.. Williams, and went off |
hastily, and when, some time afterward, |
the friends in the street heard of the ar
rival of a young daughter upstairs, they |
declared that it was the funniest 'bucket |
of coal" they had ever heard of. 49,. No |
services at Presbyterian Church this ev- |
ening. Elder Hendri ckson is on hand |
at Baptist Sunday School. "A number |
of young men are practicing upon music
al instruments in the woods near town.
The day is beautiful
MoNDAY.-Miss Mary Armstrong re-
turned from a visit to Waverly. ......
Lewis Long has planted his saw-mill-l
which formerly stood on Harding's place, !
in Liberty Township-on the farm of Mr.. |
Reese, near Limerick. "A young man
and young woman were going up Posey
Hill tonight, when the young woman
fell, and on being lifted up-so resident
of that part of town says-was evidently |
so drunk that she could scarcely stand.
1t is bad enough for the men to get drunk,
and the woman will please refrain from
infringing on this brutal prerogative.. -.
Albert Moriarty and Clint. Lockwood are
out for bicycle ride by moonlight, this
evening 49,. Regular meeting of G. A. r.
Post tonight -. The "Concert Troupe
which has been showing at the rancho
near Mr.. Hunters for some days will
stake the road" and it would be a good
thing for the town if they would take the
rancho with them. ..... The railroads are
ho axryov fact
as they can get it......A saw-min man
remarked tonight that there will be very
little timber left in this region in a short
5ime This is Indian Summer wealth
or, but the "Squaw Winter has not been
made manifest. -. We heard of man
who purchased wagon load of pumpkins
FOR forty cents. That would not pay for
5he wear and tear of the ground. - .Ex-
Sheriff w. B. Cherington came up town
in great hurry this evening He hadn't
time to walk, and went to the dairy sta
oles and saddled the horse which pulls the
milk wagon, and rode to town. He was
in such hurry that he walked back
home-half mile away-and left the
horse hitched up in town. At least Yves.
Steele says so. 1t is hard to tell which
the Joke is on-the man or the horse
TUFsDAY.-Jack Hood, an employe of
Tropic Furnace Company, took ride this
which learned him a good deal
in very short space of time He was
working as filler, below, when the
signal was given to stop filling, and the
top-filler, as is the custom, was coming
down to help cast. 1t is contrary to or
ders to get on cage under such circum-
at the bottom, but Jack playfully
clambered onto the cage while it was in
top-filler riding down on one
cage. and Jack trying to go up on the
other. He was caught between the cage
and the timbers, and pretty badly bruised
up The accident was entirely the fault
of the injured man himself, as it was the
result of recklessness. -. Rev. Earl
Cranston and family, of Cincinnati, and
Mr.. Jo Davis and family, of Columbus,
came to attend the Davis-Longbon we'd
ding, which took place this morning.
