enceS by arbitration. An attempt has
been made by Wilson Jordan and others,
to open up the coal on Benz. Patterson's
land, in Liberty. This land had been
| tapped before, but never successfully.
The coal was found after some fifteen
yards of entry driving, but not in suffi-
cient thickness to be encouraging. The
coal is there, however. All through those
Liberty Township hills there is an abun-
dance of good coal, convenient to switch
ing to the Ohio Southern road. A big
coal trade will spring up in that direction
some of these days. I'VE spoke last
week of notices from the Trustees regard
ing COWS running at large. These notices
were not put up by the Trustees, and the
only action taken by the Trustees is the
revoking of permits for stock to run at
large, which leaves the COW question
where it was before any permits were is
sued at all 80. Martindale is in to-day,
fixing up for the big entertainment at
Chestnut Grove. A good time is expect
ed there on Saturday night. Let all who
can, be on hand. -. There was a good
meeting, and large crowd, at the Saliva
tion Army meeting tonight. There
was good turnout at the Rink tonight.

in the markets to-day, but rabbits are
very scarce.
SUNDAY.-The sermon of Rev. j. E.
Rudisill, on the subject of Temperance,
was certainly vigorous enough to suit the
most ardent Temperance man. 1t
abounded in good points, and was in ev-
cry way rousing address. 1t is indeed
high time the church people, and good
people everywhere, were making an act
i've, aggressive campaign against this aw-
full doggery system. This town has been
fearfully cursed by the Devils business,
and in the name of all sense and decency,
it is>time to wipe it out. Keep battling
it, right along, by every possible means.
Every time telling blow is struck
against it, that much, at least, has been
in the right direction. The
very idea of place with the culture and
refinement that exist in Jackson, permit
ting the Devil to run rampant in the
town, is enough to make every citizen
hang his head in shame. And while we
are at it, let us compel an observance of
the Sabbath. A number of business
houses in Jackson keep open on Sunday,
the same as any other day. This ought
to be stopped. We often hear regrets
that Cincinnati and other large cities are
80 fearfully wicked regarding the Sab
bath Jackson will soon be moving in
,he same direction, unless trade upon that
lay is stopped.
