Daily Observations!
WEDNEsDAY.-Indian Summer wealth
"A little son of Mr.. Hinkle, OF the
Herald, had finger nail torn Off last
night, by a press. The ladies' OF tne
NJ E. Church are making carpet for the
lecture room of the church. The past
year has been one of repairs for that
church, and some of the best work ever
done in the church, was done under the
pastorate of Rev. F. S. Davis. The new
pastor, Rev. J. E. Rudisill, will do good
work here. The building is in good con-
dition, and when the lower room is car
peted, the Trustees ought to see to it that
the building is only used for church and
Sunday School purposes. The people
have spent enough money on that build
ing to entitle them to demand that 1t
shall not be made a playground.
Steele and Aleshire, with J. L. Ramsey,
drove herd of fat young cattle through
town. -. Ed Kendall returned to Ports
mouth. -. George Hartinger goes to
Cambridge, Ohio. Mrs. Joseph Grace
and her doughter Tillie arrived at home.
Mrs. Grace's sister, Mrs. Dill, formerly
Miss Annie Longlott, is very low with
consumption, and was brought from her
home in Clermont County as far as Ports
mouth, on her way here, when it was
thought best to leave her to rest for
while before coming on. Her parents re-
side here I'D. H. Whetsel has pur-
chased the dairy of Long & Rogers, and
will have monopoly of the milk trade.
and a good man he is, too. Cadet
Mary Smith, of this place, went back to
Logan, to do Salvation Army work
among the Hooking sinners. -. Joseph
Levisy lost little child by death to-day.
Funeral tomorrow at Hughes, near
Four Mile.
THURsDAY.-This has been beautiful
day, yet there is not nearly as large
crowd in town as there should be-.
Mr.. Hysell, of the Miners Union, ad-
dressed a meeting at the Court House,
last night, and made good impression.
Uncle Alex. Poor is in town to-day.
Sam. johnson is in. He has been sick for
a day or two..... We met our old COM
rade T. W. Patterson to-day, and he was
greatly worried over mystery that was
reported at his house last week. A hen
belonging to his wife very mysteriously
disappeared, and no trace of her could be
found. Inquiry only resulted in bringing
serious charge against good man. 1t
was while Prof. Kinnison and part of his
school forces were there on visit, and
Investigation seemed to demonstrate the
fact that Prof. Kinnison mistook the hen
for pheasant and shot her. A further
report says that he discovered his mistake
and hid the chicken in the brush to keep
the crowd from finding it out. 49,. .Har-
vey Wells is in town. .Vanpelt came
down from Wellston this morning. .....
w. FL. Sloan is in town. Dick Cavett
is here. ......So is George Waller.
Capt. w. j. Evans is here. e..... The Silver
Cornet Band played for the afternoon
meeting, and the Little Ten for the night
meeting. 1t was fun, when Homer
Jones was speaking tonight, to see the
Democrats solemnly get Up and walk out,
when he made it too hot for them
The Boutelle meeting to-day was good
one, made up of thinking people. The
Rink was well filled, and those in attend
ance heard one of the grandest speeches
: ever heard in this place. As finished
orator, we do not believe his equal ha.
ever been in Jackson. His showing uI
the accursed conduct of the Cleveland ad.
ministration toward the Union soldier
was especially effective. The meeting
did great deal of good.
FRIDAY.-Mrs. E. G. Powell returned
home. -. Mr.. and Mrs. W. d. Cheering
ton write to friends here that they art
well pleased with their new location
Town Street Church, Columbus, and ev
erything seems bright and encouraging

pap Jacob Crabtree will please accept ou-

Owens, have fine new baby -. MI
Higgins, who drums for Cincinnati
house, is here to-day. This gentleman
buys all his butter in Jackson. He is ev
identity not afraid of getting any cit.
axle-grease here. We have received
letter from our friends Mr. and Mrs. W
T. Price, in which Mrs. Price, while tel
ing of the wonders beheld in the grea
West, declares that she would not Civ
Jackson for them all. 49,. .Cooney Cor
has moved into the Basqui1 house, mex
to Billy Smiths. In connection wit
the thought of running temperance int
into politics, DR.. Laird recalls the expel
ience of Lodge of Good Templars i
this county which tried to build up pt
litical party on the strength of the hea
thy rentiment which had been worked u
by the order. A committee of neigl
boring Lodge called upon the Jackso
Lodge, and wanted its cooperation
forming political party. After the con
mittee had been heard, Samuel G. Martil
of this place, moved that the matter
referred to a committee of three. D
Laird, the pending officer, appointed Ma
