Daily Observations


last night. and had game this mornin
with a picked nine, all Jackson boys bu
two-Fluhart and Gould of Wellstol
Fluhart played we'll; but Gould was
blank in the game. 1t wasn't his day
With two players out and two from th
"Muffers" substituted, the nine woul
have been much stronger. But it wa
strong enough, the score being Jackson
"a, Circleville 6. The visitors are gen
tlemanly set of young fellows, and mad
many friends. The umpiring by Peggy
Humble was excellent. ..... Zen. anC
jeff. Humphreys came home from Chat
tanooga to-day. Ben is quite sick,
The following persons were received in
to full membership in the M. E.. Church
tonight: Hugh Williams and his moth
er, Grant Wilson and wife, Jas. Miller
J. ". Miller, Misses BERTHE Claar, Edith
Hawk, Helen Davis, Matte Rice, and
Mrs. Rosa Baker. I've acknowl
edge somewhat spirited serenaded this
afternoon by juvenile sheepskin band,
composed of Masters Charlie Boggess and
Davie LowenStein. "A little sensa-
ton was caused at the Salvation Army
meeting tonight by Frank Williams at
tempting to go out while they were
speaking. The door-keeper objected and
Frank pushed him, causing slight scuf-
fie and some excitement. The
"breast-protector" of the Circleville Club
won the admiration of the small boys.
"A large number of ladies attend
ed the ball game to-day.
THURsDAY-The funeral of Miss Flo
ra Payne took place at the home of Mr..
G. M. Martin this morning. Services con-
Quoted by Rev. F. S. Davis, M. E. Church,
with short talk by Rev. A. W. Long,
Supt NJ E. Sabbath School. A large
number of carriages followed the re-
mains to the cemetery. ........I In compa-
ny with Rev. A. w. Long, Mr.. S. J. Long,
and s. D. Mackley, we attended the pic
mic at Rock Hill Union Church. this af-
ternoon We are satisfied that this local
ity is well named, as in going down one
hill we were much afraid the tongue of
the carriage would beat the horses to
death, so rough was the road, A good
sized crowd was assembled at the
grounds. We did not get in until after
DUNCAN, and others of the forenoon, and
their still greater efforts at noon. There
was much speaking, Moore, DUNCAN,
Mann, J. w. Johnson, Campbell, A. w.
Long, and perhaps others. Miss Ida
Jones recited "The Last Hymn" in an
excellent manner. Squire Alf. Lewis,
fifer of Francis Smith Post, was there,
and with Charley Jenkins base-drummer
of the Post, and Davie Mackley, snare
drummer of the Sons of Veterans, made
the woods of Liberty ring with martial
strains. Mr.. Kelley Lewis fifer of the S.
of V. also gave an exebition of his skill
with the fife. Kelley blows it about as
well as the "old man." There were a
number of people present who travelled
quite a distance. Among these were
"Blackhawk" Johnson and family, Dan
Johnson and family, T. w. Patterson and
son, T. T. Jones, Sheriff Lively and many
others. 1t was pleasant time all
around, and the speeches were all lis
tened to with considerable attention, the
most enthusiastic speech being that of A.
w. Long. Mr.. Long always speaks well,
and was at his best to-day. The people
of Liberty are certainly good people to
be with. Many of the soldier boys were
loud in their praises of the ample provis-
ion made for them at noon by Comrade
Redfern. Everybody seemed to enjoy
this day thoroughly.
FRIDAY.-A faint S how of a cool rain
this evening. I'D. 2. Pewthers and
children went to the country. y........A
great amount of dirt is being hauled to
fill up the johnson lot on Portsmouth
Street, where the new house has been
commenced. ....... Will Kitchen played
a somewhat comic Joke on Constable
Baker to-day Will had traded for a
mare, and through some misunderstand-
ing the other party got out writ of re-
plevin for Kitchens horse. Will got one
at the Livery Stable and got one some
what resembling the one in dispute, and
came out on the street. Baker immed-
lately seized the animal, and began read
ing the writ to Kitchen-when the latter
called his attention to the fact that it
wasn't the kind of horse he was after.
That writ was folded up in something of
of hurry ....... To-day is the fiftieth
anniversary of the marriage of Samuel
Baker to his present wife. The Cornet
Band went around this evening and gave
the old gentleman fine serenade .......
The Army" turned out with slim force
1900. Mrs. Susie Reese died. -. Mark
Sternberger has purchased the lot from
Mrs. Messenger, adjoining the Baldridge
building, on Main Street 80. The Ma
sonic Lodge has purchased the ground
whereon stands the old DUNCAN resi-
dence, Main Street. I'D. L. Pickrel
has purchased from Mr. Clark the prop
erty on Main Street where the Hardware
Store building now is. This property
will all be built up in a short time, great
ly adding to the beauty of this part of
the street. ...... The old Steele building,
on Main Street, will, we are told, be
rooted and repaired. 1t seems a pity to
repair such an old, dilapidated building
as this. 1t seems hardly able to stand
alone now.
SATURDAY.-Met Comrade Joseph Ly-
ons to-day. His Regiment, the old 33d
Ohio, will hold a Reunion at Portsmouth
on the Sth of September, the second day
of the great Reunion. And good time
is anticipated by the old Veterans. ......
Lemuel Talbot. of Coal Township, called.
....... There has been a good trade in
town to-day. DR.. Jim Henry, of
Berlin, called. ...... .Harbarger has been
reading the arguments in some of the pa
pers, in favor of the Soldiers Home beer
doggery at Dayton: The many advanta-
ges, taken altogether, prove that the beer
doggery can be made to support the
whole institution, and pay ii profit to the
Government. One thing however puz-
