The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1885-07-02
DAILY OBSERVATIONS.

Gle Charley Stockman, of Richmondale,
in to-day, and of course called on I'll
Standard . Sheriff Lively is bac
from Columbus. 1t is lonesome for hil
now, there being nobody but Jim Tipto
in Jail. Our daily, and every othe
observation, is that the great, crying nee
of Jackson, as well as most other town
in the State. is whipping-post. DrunE
enness and petty crimes have gotten t
be an intolerable nuisance, and it is
burning shame and disgrace that the
are permitted to go on. If the drunkel
loafer knew that he would be publicl
striped with twenty or thirty lashes upol
his bare hide every time he makes pub
lie nuisance of himself, he would sudden
ly discover that he could control his ap
petite without experiencing the least in
convenience. Then another-and more
important-feature of the case should bt
that the doggery- -keeper-no matter
whether he claimed to be running drug
store, bakery, or anything else-should be
whipped every time, and to the same ex-
tent, that his victim is. If ten drunkards
should be furnished with ten stripes each,
then the doggery-keepers should receive
one hundred stripes This would stop
every doggery in Jackson in very short
time If the lazy devil who keeps the
den did not want the law to chastise him,
let him go to work like d decent man.
The whipping-post has been introduced
in Baltimore, and is having awonderfully
fine effect. Now if some patriot in the
Legislature wishes to make his name i'm
mortal in connection with suppressing
crime, and elevating human character,
let him secure the passage of whipping
is in to-day. :. :. Stephen Vaughn, and
Rev. M. d. Vaughn are here. .....I If any
man dotes on turtle-soup, he should have
been at Fulton Furnace pond to-day.
They were to be picked up out of the
mud. Jimmy Chestnut says that his
father is not in robust health, but that
his business is prospering, and he is doing
well in Minneapolis Still. we will ven
ture the prediction that our old friend
still has hankering after the familiar
scenes of old Jackson. 49,. So, Miller
Long has gone and married Molly Ryan
After all, Miller, it don't make mnch diff
ference whether they lied or not about
that kissing story on the way home from
the picnic. -. Capt. Harding, of the Fire
Department, was around taking a look at
the. cisterns to-day. There are some por
tions of the town not in very good con-
dition as regards safety from fire. In
the portion of town adjacent to Fulton
Furnace the Department has heretofore |

The creek supplying these has played |
out, and that particular locality is tenn
porarily left at the risk of fire.
THURsDAY-Mr Osborne, living on
Pearl Street, died last night, after short
illness of something like pneumonia. He
was a quiet, inoffensive, hard-working
man. He was the father of little Eliza,
the bright little fellow who makes so
much fun on the streets. =. Sherman
Scurlock is in this morning. He says
that party will start from his neighbor-
hood for Rio Grande, on a fishing excur-
sion. 49,. Rev. F. S. Davis and Judge
Miller tried their skill as marksmen down
the creek yesterday, to the serious dis
turbance of the crows. "A somewhat
sensational episode occurred in this
place to-day. A Minister" named Jen-
kin Reese, formerly of Oak Hill, was
taken before the Mayor, and plead guilty
to changing the dates on Railroad passes
and selling them in Springfield. The
passes were over the Ohio Southern road,
and the arrest was on complaint of the
agent here. The defendant was fined
twenty-five dollars and costs. We believe
he is a Minister of the Congregational
Church, and has been at Oak Hill for
some time. He is a fine looking man,
well educated, and seemingly a man of
considerable intelligence. His escapade
is considered most remarkable. We un-
derstand that he contemplates trip to
Europe, and attempted to borrow a sum
of money from a citizen of this place.
Certainly strange conduct, all around, for
a Minister. Josh Price took his Sun
day School class to Canter Caves to-day
in Band-Wagon, drawn by Dave Jones'
big team. -. Our old friend Finley Rice
was in to-day with team. There are !,
few men who do things up more system
atically and thoroughly than Finley. but
when he got ready to go home, he ran
wagon and gave the team the reins-
but the horses that had always been faith
full, refused to move. He clucked to them,
coaxed them, and shook the lines, but
they stood as solid as boarding house
biscuit. Maybe under the same circum-
stances, you would have whipped the
horses, and compelled them to move-but
Finley didn't. He never beats his team
He just got back out of the wagon and
united the hitch-strap from the horse
rack, and drove off. But luckily there
were no reporters around, or the joke
might have gotten into the papers. -.
The Silver Cornet Band turned out to-
night to give Miller Long blast. ....- :
Marshal Owens has postal-card adver-
tising sleek young gentleman who bor-
rowed a span of sorrel horses over III
Indiana. The card says the fellows | |
tongue is creased. "a series of at
tempted robberIes has been carried ON q
for some weeks in this place. Parties |
have been in Tropic Store, have attempt
ed to get into Prices, and perhaps other :.
places. These chaps will wake up some
of these mornings and discover that they !,
have succeeded in breaking into Jail -. i.
. Mrs. John Davis put up a new iron
fence at her Pearl Street residence. Some
of the authorities showed disposition to
kick on the line, but the fence went up,
and no man ought to be silly enough to
kick against AN iron fence. IA num-
Der of gentleman were at the stables of '.
Cherington and Steele to-day, talking
about town property, when one of them
remarked: "Who owns that lot down be-
low the Workman house, it looks like it
was owned by dead man." Mr.. Cher {
