Daily Observations!
WEDNESDAY, A beautiful, Spring
like day -. Judge Miller and Valentin
Gettles traded farms to-day. The Judge
farm contains the most land, but wa
some nine miles out, while the one he get
from Mr.. Gettles is but four. 1t seems t.
be good trade for both, as Mr.. Gettle
and family can look after the distant farm
and make success of it, while the Judg
can now reach his readily from town, a
it lies near Harrison's station, on the O
S.. The Infirmary Directors are il
session here to-day. -. j. H. Hickman
Township Clerk, teaches school at Berlin
going up on the miners train in the morn
ing, and returning in the evening. HI
walks across from Ada Switch, about
three miles. -. Tyson, the horse-buyer
is here " j. M. Stinson, of Fairfield
with DR.. Crumit and Judge Longbon, two
old acquaintances. Mr.. Stinson had not
been in Jackson for twenty-five years
He finds many and marked changes, stat
ing that Judge Longbon was really the
only man who seemed unchanged in ap-
pearance. Like all the old Jackson Coun-
ty boys who have located in the great
west, MI. Stinson is man of great intel
ligence, and excellent company. He was
called here by the serious illness of his
mother, who resides with her son-in-law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. Mark Stern
berger. 49,. Will Glenn, Oldest son of Mrs.
Olive South. went to Portsmouth to-day
to get married. He is the young man
who works in the tailoring establishment
of ]. A. Lloyd. 49,. Rev. J. A. Lytle has
begun housekeeping on Portsmouth
Street. We are glad to see the Christian
Church start out with regular services
again This is one of the most active and
faithful congregations in town. The
COrnet Band have out announcements
for grand prize entertainment, the priz-
es consisting of sets of furniture and 9TH
or beautiful and useful things. The en-
tertainment will be held on the 20 of Jan.
THURsDAY.-Dan Coll and George
King went to Chillicothe. Mr.. King, now
of Portsmouth, is making preparations to
move to Los Angeles. California.
Sheriff lively went to Xenia this evening,
on official business :. There was re-
port this morning that the miners in the
Warth mine had gone in..... An Ipfirm-
airy Director from Ross County is here to-
day looking up the case of young wom-
an who gives her name, we believe, as Sa-
die johnson. This young woman has been
an object of charity in Chillicothe, and is
said to have been supplied with money by
young man of this place. The girls
health and circumstances place her in
great need of money, and the remittances
from Jackson have ceased. We don't like
to think any young Jackson man would
treat a girl that way, but if the young
man wants to make himself known and
continue the remittances, he can save
Ross County some expense. Jackson
don't want the case. .... Will Glenn and
wife arrived. 80. Charley Trago says he
is hauling from Salt Creek beautiful lot
of ice, six inches in thickness. 80. The
mines of Drew and Wasson are reported
to have become seriously embarrassed,
and shut down. These are the Indiana
and Center Valley mines. 10. S. Mil |
ler has purchased the interest of E. B.
Thompson, in the Boot and Shoe House,
and will conduct the business as an indi-
vidual. -. The meeting at the Baptist |
Church tonight was not largely attended. |
The Salvation Army has shown a
disposition to divide up. One wing has
out posters for Festival, and the rest |
seem disposed to shut down on it. How |
do the brethren expect to advance the |
cause by dissensions among themselves?
......Will Newton, the Bicyclist, held
forth at the Crescent tonight. 49,. Ice
houses are full, and it is announced the
best quality of ice put up for years.
FRIDAY.-Capt. VIM. J. Evans, of Oak
Hill, is in town. Nelson AleShire is
in town to-day. Mrs. Sallie Cottle of
Mainville, Ohio, was the guest of Mrs.
companied the former as far as Hamden
on her way home &C. A. Atkinson re-
ceived letter from home to-day an
nouncing the illness of his little boy,
Louie, and started West via o. S. Railroad.
.......A. W. Long returned home.
A novel sight to-day was large flock of
turkeys and geese being driven up Main
street. They are the property of j. H.
Price. 49,. Mr.. J. M. Millson, of Colum-
bus, representing the Walter A. Wood
Moving Machine, is here to-day. Ar
rangements are being made for introduc-
ing this splendid machine on an exten-
sive scale here during the Spring. J. B.
Howe will still act as local agent for the
company, with headquarters at Hoods.
These gentlemen are arranging for a
grand reception of their many patrons, at
the delivery of their goods in the Spring,
and orders should be given during the
Winter months. The Wood is accounted
a splendid machine. Call on the agent,
for particulars. "A number of old SOL
diers were narrating incidents of army
experience tonight, and some of them
will bear repeating: Judge Miller told of
a remarka BILE shot he made over in Mary
land. He started out on the hunt of fresh
meat, and coming across flock of sheep,
drew his Enfield rifle and fired on the
bunch, killing two and!disabling third
He secured what he wanted of one, and
the rest of the boys soon cleaned out the
other two. The commanding officer guard
housed the whole battalion, mot" he
said, "for killing the sheep, but for being
clumsy enough to be caught at it. Rob
ert Ralston is a small man, so is his old
army comrade Josephus Wikoff-but they
hooked an ak from the Confederacy.
Starting out foraging for fresh meat, they
were not fortunate enough to find any
choice venison or veal. The only meat
they discovered was yoke of work cat
tie, browsing in a field. They were not
going back without meat, however, and
