practical common sense. Mr. l.. believed
in prayer for the success of Missionary
effort, but to insure success, prayer must
be backed by money. The terms of sue
cess are "pray and pay. We have
heard of freeing all kinds of game, but
Jackson recently furnished the only in
stance we remember to have heard of
where drunken man was freed. This
man was tight" and a friend started
home with him, when, as they were pass
ing tree, the man, who a few moments
before could scarcely walk, made rush
at the tree and scooted up with the agil-
ity of a squirrel. The friend went after
the officers, who came and found their
game treed "A jolly time at the Jones
Hall Rink tonight, a goodly company of
| ladies and gentlemen sailing gaily around
upon the rollers.
SUNDAY.-A- gloomy day, with occa-
sional streaks of sunshine. IA little
child of Mr.. Jordan, night yt;rd-Inaster of
the o. S. Railroad, is dead. Funeral this
afternoon. Rev. Davis, at the M. E.
Church to-day took practical method of
rousing the membership of the church to
a sense of duty. He requested all WHO
twere willing to attend the meeting
through the week, as often as they could,
to rise to their feet. There could be no
lodging, and there was general popping
up over the room. IA tremendous
storm of wind and rain is raging tonight.
MoNDAY.-George Wilson is driving a
lively team of fast PAGERS ......T. M.
Jones is shaking hands with friends to-
day, having been away on business WIS.,
it. Prices team of horses concluded |
to take little excursion at noon to-day,
on their own hook, while their drivers
attention was called in another direction.
They came sailing down Main street,
with their harness on, but were taken in
by Mr.. John White. .... Met Constable
J. S. Baker tonight. He took trip after
johnson few days ago, going up the
railroad. AT Berlin he learned that John
son had been there, az, dinner, and start
ed for a point in Ross County. Baker
pursued on, but the man had not yet
reached his destination when the officer
left Mr. Baker came to the sensible con-
clusion that if any wanted the mans ar
rest bad enough to use their time and
money to secnre it, they might do so, and
he came home It will be much better
for the county not 10 bring him back
and if he stays away, it is still good
thing. The protracted meeting began
at M. E. Church tonight. There was a
good turnout, mostly members of the
church: The service consisted Of a short
Il hu oh |
mon by the pastor. After this short .
prayer service again. 49,. Hon. Bob Jones
spent Sunday at his home here. We see
by the proceedings of the House that Mr..
Jones has introduced an anti-scrip bill,
to protect the laborin9 men
against the injustice of employers. We
heard some laboring men discussing the .
subject of forcing fairness in business 6
men by legislative enactment, this morn :
ing. Said one: eff some men were paid |
in cash, every two weeks, they would soon
starve to death, from the fact that they
would not save any of their money, while
hose who save their money would be
Just as well off as they are now" Yet
5he plea is that by the use of scrip or or
piece of scrip is a contract-a promissory {
note to pay in goods, and under existing
avs business men may be forced to sell
1t reasonable rates, or redeem their scrip
n money. The law which destroys the
business mans pledges, destroys his GUS
;omers' credit, does it not? Still, if any
hing can be done by the Legislature to
the condition of the laboring
men, or anybody else, let it be done, and,
If course, everybody will be pleased. .....
A Jackson doggery tonight improved
