The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1885-12-24

his experience with the patent rubber.
spring bed-slats brought here some years
ago, as indicative of the way people are
gulled into buying patent rights: Mr.
Schweitzer was also furniture dealer.
and Dauber was persuaded to go into it
because Schweitzer did, as he must keep
up. A company was formed, the pro-
prietor of the STANDARD being one of
the stockholders-and the springs ordered.
Schweitzer made great haste to get a
number of them on before Dauber or any
one else could get into the market.
These were all that were ever sold, and
the purchasers were willing to pay some
thing additional for having them taken
out again. 1t is not always safe to invest
in a seemingly good thing. 49,. Schools
closed to-day until Holiday vacation.
&C. J. Hayes, who has been going about
town representing himself as agent of a
Cincinnati Mercantile Protective Agency
of some kind, having for its object the
collection of claims, for business men,
protection against bad debtors and so on,
after getting several of our merchants
into his scheme, and collecting money
from some of them, was pulled as a
swindler, and is now in Jail, having had a
preliminary trial before the Mayor.
SATURDAY.-Treasure Reiniger has
been SO busily run by taxpayers for
day OF two that he has scarcely had time
to eat meals. This has been an especially
busy day with him. But George is equal
to the emergency. Squire Dave
Evans and wife, of Samsonville, called
to-day. I'VE hear good one as Illus
trating George Harbarger's method of
practical Missionary work: A short time
ago man went to the Infirmary from an
adjoining township. He was, so rumor
says, dirty, lousy and diseased, that con-
dition to see which would cause hog to
die of dependency. He was run through
bath, and the outside crust scraped off
so that some fresh air could get to his
body. He remained over night, but the
physician not coming early enough to
suit him next day, he left. He went back
to his former neighborhood, and that
same night aoGS conoertedl Now the
skeptic will express grave doubts as to
whether it was Divine Grace, or Har-
barger's soap, that wrought this CONVEX
sion. -. Some boys killed a chicken
hawk in town to-day. AT the Rink
tonight the Polo Clubs had hot and
exciting contest, the Athletics, or "Blues"
beating the Crescents or Reds" two
games out of three.
SUNDAY.-The o. S. Depot has been
moved up to Bridge street, which makes
it little safer and little more conven-
lent than formerly. lit is. almost a
miracle that some one of the little boys
about town have not been killed while
playing about the derrick and fixtures of
the gas-well. Besides climbing the der
rick they play with the big drum and fly
wheel, climbing pretty much all over the
wheel. The fixtures are all ready for set
ting the engine. The derrick is eighty |
feet high. The drill will be operated by
a heavy "walking-beam, which will be
worked by small engine, Everything |
is about ready for operations, as soon as
the engine gets here... Simon Taught |

at the c., W. & B. depot to-day.

much for him. -. There was large
