Daily Observations !


bloom, and there never was better pros
pect for tremendous crop. An exper-
fenced fruitman said tonight that he
does not believe the hard freezes has
anything to do with killing the peaches.
Another mad dog was killed to-
day. This one we believe belonged to
Mr.. Eli Moore. 1t would not be a public
calamity if at least one hundred dogs in
this cummunity were put out of the way,
though we never saw mad dog here.
The dog-fghts in the streets have come
to be disgusting nuisance. Fifty ours
could be spared from town and scarcely
missed. -. Rev. F. S. Davis returned
home to-day. Judge Miller made
visit to his Liberty Township farm. =.
"A room is being fitted up in the old
Jail building for the purpose of starting
some kind of coffee house, or temper
ance Restaurant. IA nasty brute was
loudly using profane and obscene Ian
guage at the corner of Pearl and Broad
way tonight in the hearing of ladies.
The attention of the police had to be call
ed to him. We believe the brute is en-
ployed on the o. S. Road The citizens
should take such fellows in hand here
after. and endeavor to have the manage
ment of the road kick them out.
While number of young folks were sit
ting fishing, in front of Buzzard Rocks
to-day, a good-natured fishing party was
noticed little further up the creek. This
party borrowed a couple of hooks and
lines from Mr.. "Mayho,"- the old colored
gentleman living near, and spent short
time in fishing. Then they went on top
of the great rock, and suddenly shrill,
piping female voice rang out, in the re-
markable expression "Hurrah for Cleve-
landw- This from woman was strange
indeed, and Hartly himself was doubtless
astonished at her. Borrowing fish-hooks
froom a colored man and bowling for
Cleveland. certainly do not go well to-
gether. No wonder the two men sent
the two women around the back way on
returning to town. Killen & Cook,
contractors, lit into the Gray building
yesterday with a vim which promises an
early completion of the job.
THURsDAY.-What delightful weather.
..... Walker E. Marsh, of Efforts, ad-
vertises his property for sale, and we un-
derstand he will remove to Montana Ty.
We should dislike to lose Mr.. Marsh
from this region, as there are no better
citizens than Mr.. Mash. =. The Concert
given by Prof. Hanks Singing Glass to-
night was fairly attended, yet there ought
to have been a much larger attendance.
The singing of the class was well done,
showing an excellent and thorough train
ing; the solo by Miss Lizzie Jones was
we'll rendered. Lizzie is little girl,
daughter of Miles Jones, and has sweet
voice; the solo singing by Miss Mamie
Hank and Miss BERTHE Claar was well ex-
ecuted; david and Goliath, by Prof.
Hank and Johnnie Boggess, brought
down the house as well as Goliah; Mrs.
Bentley and Miss Farrar sang selections;
one of the pleasing features of the enter
tainment was the solo "a hundred fathoms
Deep" by Sheriff Lively. Few of our
citizens possess as musical voices as that
of Mr.. Lively. The Welsh Choir, under
the leadership of DR.. Joseph Jones, sang
in style that was simply grand. The
M. E. Choir sang selection in excellent
style. The Baptist Choir sang excellent
ly. The whole programme was good, the
holiday scene by the little fellows being
especially true to everyday experience.
The defamation Baseball" by Charlie
Goddard, called forth loud applause.
Charlie is the most thoroughly at home
before an audience of any little fellow we
have seen. Misses Minnie Boggess and
Callie Cook gave a violin duet, which
showed that these ladies know how to
manage the bow. The entertainment
was good one, and deserved much lar
ger attendance. Prof. Hank has been do
ing good work with the young folks,
and the rising generation is destined to
keep up the excellent standard of music
for which Jackson is noted.
FRIDAY.-No Grant Club meeting last
night. The Gray building is ready
for tn first floor. 49,. Judge Delany has
located in the Hunsinger corner, and says
he has quit drinking, and will attend to
business. -. Sam Martins residence is
being treated to a new coat of shingles.
An old citizen complains that the
heavy coal teams ought to pass along the
back streets or use broad tires. But per-
haps the people on the back streets might
object. Judge Miller went to Frank
French's, in Jackson Township, to-day,
to see his niece, Miss Fannie Miller, who
is quite sick. 1t was at first thought that
the young lady had consumption, but it
is now thought differently. Mrs
BARLEY Blackhart is on the sick list to-
day. Tearing down the fixtures of
the "oil well" to-day Lew. Brown
has vacated the Harry French house, on
Portsmouth street. -. The defamation
