Joke told upon some boys who got into
the grapes at the residence of Mrs. Nc
Ghee. The OLD parrot roosts upon the
back porch, and when the boys began to
steal the grapes-it being late in the
evening-he called: "Now! Nowp' The

=. The man who invests largely in a
lottery, opens the sealed envelope drawn,
and discovers blank, could not be more
thoroughly taken aback than was one of
our leading ministers one day last week.
A man came after him to solemnize a
marriage The minister attended, and
after the ceremony the groom handed
the minister a sealed envelope. This
greatly pleased the good man who dis
liked the idea of fixing fee. After the
groom was gone the minister and a
friend opened the envelope. expecting to
see bright greenback shining therein ! !
There was small piece of white paper
on which was written promise to come,
in the near future and fix the matter up.
THURsDAY.-This has been sort of
Foraker day in town. The Republican
candidate arrived at ten o'clock, broken
down somewhat, from severe cold, con-
tracted at Portsmouth. In the afternoon
he met large number of friends at the
Isham House. In the evening the Little
Ten Band turned out, in their beautiful
new uniforms, and called the people to
the new Rink building, where the Judge
was to speak. The building, it is claimed,
will seat 1900 people. It would not seat
one-half of those who attended tonight.
The seats were full, the floor was covered
with people standing closely together.
and scores went away, unable to obtain
an entrance to the building. This was
undoubtedly the finest political meeting
for a night meeting-we ever saw in
Jackson. ALI parties were represented,
and the best of order prevailed. The
Judge spoke for more than an hour, and
was listened to with the closest atten-
ton. w. w. Pierce was in town to-
day. His mother-of whom we spoke
some time ago as being sick-died re-
Gently, at the age OF ninety-two.
Grin Gould ir., of Wellston, in town. ..-..
Vanpe1t, Bundy, and other Wellstonians,
are here to attend the big meeting. ......
The colored folks adjourned their Fair
the political meeting. Squire Will
hanson Scurloek attended the meeting
tonight. If all Republicans were like
the Squire, there would be no need of
political meetings in this county.
Judge Foraker was the 6lest of G. A.
Atkinson while here. Andy McMi-
len, of Milton, is in to-day. Springer
is in from Jacks on-also John T. Leach.
They have had religious discussion for
a week out there, but we believe neither
Pleas. nor John have been converted yet.
.Dever is fencing the Valley House
lot, and fixing things up nicely.
FRIDAY.-A long, steady rain again.
=. Judge Foraker called at the Standard
office. .....W. ]. kirkendall is in to-day.
&c. W. G. Perry came in to attend the
meeting last night, and remainci over
until to-day. The missionary Tea"
was held this afternoon at the residence
of J. d. Mitchell, was mostly attended by
ladies, and was very pleasant affair.
Those attending were conveyed by
Smiths hack. Al man stepped into
the store of Mr.. Lowenstein this after
noon. He was tight, and on leaving bade
Mr.. l.. good by, until we meet again"
In few minutes two policemen brought
him back past the store. E. Crandall
can tell humorous story as well as any
man. He tells one of an old Frenchman
who lived in an adjoining county-it is
not necessary to mention his namc-who
Joined church, and became very religious,
but never could break over, entirely, the
habit of swearing which he had contract
ed early in life. He lived near the church,
which stood upon hill. He had caught
a wild goose when it was quite young,
and trained it into quite pet. One Sun
day the old gentleman went to church as
usual, the goose waddling behind him.
Up the aisle they both went, the man
taking seat in front. Presently the
goose gave a squawk. The man looked
up and saw it. "Well d the goosew
shouted he, gathering it in his arms and
walking out.
SATURDAY.-Judge Miller has pur-
chased lot number IS in Kahn's Addition,
formerly owned by Barney Canter. This
is a nice building site, and we understsnd
that the Judge will sell it again. w.
M. Brooks, of Byers, called to-day.
Joshua Lewis, of Oak Hill, is in town..
-. Hiram Miller had hearing in the
Probate Court this afternoon. and was
discharged. This is the man who was
charged with the outrageous treatment
of the little girl Rachel Jones, sister of
the late Jones boys, of Coalton. Great
excitement was occasioned by the sensa-
tional stories told at the time of Miller's
arrest, and there was strong talk of lynch
ing. The girl now tells that she was sub
orned to make the statement against Mil
ler by couple of women at Coalton. The
testimony of the examining physicians,
Drs. Messenger and Ray, proved that no
crime had been pelpetrated. -. The col
