DR.. Ewing, Henson's folks and other
went to Hamden, to attend the funera
of Mrs. Og1er. Tommy Morgan, al
old man who was some time ago hurt il
Tropic Shaft, was digging a well in com
pany with James Burt, to-day, on the
property of Theodore Grose, in the ex
treme west part of town, when, in being
hauled up, he was overcome by the bad
air and fell from the bucket, distance
of some eighteen feet badly cutting and
bruising him up. He was conveyed to
the residence of John Burt, and medical
attendance furnished. Tommy seems to
be victim of bad luck. $50. W. G. Drap-
er of Portsmouth, and his son Frank, of
Kansas City, Missouri, are here to-day.
Frank has grown out of all recollection
of his Jackson friends. Dick Cavett is
Will IL. AAOnS "Oho w
Rio Grande, Gallia County, this after
noon. Ralph Loft took home a
new cider mill $500. The boys had a
good deal of fun on Main, where John
Allen was laying pavement. A board
was placed across one end of the space to
keep the people from walking on the
sand, but every body who passed that
way would either step over the board or
walk around it, and get on the sand.
Some would take it good-naturedly when
cautioned about it-others didn't like it,
but all tramped it. $500. Elmer Golden,
of Athens, is here. $500. Miss Emma
Henson's class, M. E. Sunday School, had
picnic at David's Grove.

near Porter, Gallia County. ...... .Jo.
King, former Jackson boy is in trouble
tonight, over row near a doggery on
L OGlOCt. COs 10 % VI OIOhuShStOoo
ly big fellow, and has a record which
caused the police to watch him, though
10. may not be altogether bad. Certain
it is that if he had kept straight on his
visit to Jackson, he would not now be in
the calaboose with battered head. Joe
claimed that Roy Reed and himself were
scuffiing, when they got mad and began
6ob Fduar Hi1Iirac tho how
who had his head cut by falling slate
few days ago, is in town this evening.
There is great seam running down the
fore part of his head, but he will not be
disfgured to amount to anything. .......
Quite commotion was raised last night
by the putting up of some town cows, on
the farm of ]. L. Long. Several parties
went down and gobbled their stock forth
with, while some are going further with
the affair. Some of the cattle, it is said,
broke into the corn-feld.
FRIDAY.-Joe King was arraigned be-
fore Mayor Jones for assault upon Leroy
Reed. Plead guilty, and fined three dol
lars and costs and five days in the Work
House. Had King not plead guilty, he
would doubtless have been acquitted, as it
was clearly shown that both got mad
from friendly scuff1e, and after they
were parted, and James Hatten was hold
ing King, Reed seized cinder and threw
at King. Sentence was suspended in
Kings case upon his promise to leave
the County Another new thresh- |
ing-machine went out of town to-day. |

machines purchased already this season
in this County. ...... Delegates to Pro-
hibition Convention got back, and report
Frank Gessner's story about Leonard de-
nouncing Murphy as Republican ennis
sary as a silly lie. That's what everybo-
dy thought, who knew Frank. ....... AL |
bert Moriarty, John Armstrong and 9th
ers, have organized a string band.
AS showing how the Republicans here
feel toward Logan, Jealous Republican
says that a morning or two after the
Committee report, he met number of
Republicans in crowd. Two or three |
affected great indignation at Logan.
"But," says the man, "every one of them
but one has since acknowledged that he
was mistaken" "....... The Salvation |
Army is out with greatly reduced ranks |
tonight. If the merchants do not
receive many customers this hot weather,
there are drummers enough to make
things lively. ....... Miss Horton, daugh-
ter of John H. Horton, of Jefferson
Township, recently went to Cincinnati
and had large tumor removed. DR..
Kitchen accompanied her. Miss Horton
will be remembered as a student at the
Academy here, during the last session.

Gently gave his wife severe beating.

to serve his time out. He now seems to
be in the right place. .......V. E. Bierly

trouble with young man named Scott,
at Coalton. 1t was small dispute, but
assumed the dimensions of a fight. .....
Daniel Kelly, of Liberty, is in to-day

Moore's children are in the Infrmary. . .
The boys are rigging Yves. Steele
