: profitable, they will quit ill.,. Som
3 scoundrel has been circulating the repol
that certain prominent business men VIII
signed the pledge, had broken it, and bee
drunk. These lies are started for the ber
eft ant satisfaction of the saloons, and n
attention should be paid to them.
The Grant Club seems to have served it
day and generation, and there cannot b
enough of its members gotten together t.
disband. There might be large clul
organized here, if the Republicans woult
take hold, but people seem to be too busy
"A boy over in the west part of tow1
recently invested in three tame rabbits
now he has but one, and the old cat sit:
and dozes as innocently as lamb .....
The dry goods merchants are flooding tht
town with posters announcing specia
prices on remnant goods. -. The Saliva
tion Army came forth tonight in the
midst of driving snow-storm, and pa
raded the streets. 1t is probable thai
a series of protracted meetings will be
commenced before long at the M. E
Church. =. Simon David is here. ......
Recorder Bennett has his mustache again
..... Squire J. A. Sell of Coalition, is in
town to-day I'VE heard an argument
from friend, in favor of drinking beer
for "health." A more grievously mistaken
notion was never conceived by the mind
of man. We have several specimens in
this swill brings. 1t will puff up the body
until the man becomes so healthy" that
he is unable to walk, is gently tickled by
the pleasures of gout and rheumatism,
until his eyes are almost closed by beau
tiful layers of fat, and until he looks like
a beautiful haystack with legs, walking
about-but mark you, friends, when he
gets to that beautiful and desirable con-
dition of "health," he is hopeless and be-
sotted drunkard, and the Devil has fore
closed upon him. The only safe way is
to let the miserable villainous slop alone.
1t is poison, and poison is not healthy.
SATURDAY.-Coldb clustering weather.
Mot the usual number of Saturday
visitors to town, but large numbers of
town visitors to the country. Prof.
Kinnison and Clate Poor formed war
like procession towards the fields to-day.
...Comrade Joseph Lyon in attendance
at G. A. R. meeting. -. The Grand Ar
my Post here should have good perma-
nent Post Room. 1t is strong enough,
and should be moving in the matter. -.
Uncle Sammy Dotson is very feeble, at
the residence of David Randall, in James
town. The old soldiers days on earth
may be truthfully said to be numbered on
earth. -. Horace Weeks is still lingering
along, at the home of Joseph Humphfres.
Mr. Weeks is very low with dangerous
disease, but his many friends hope to see
him yet regain his old-time health ......
Mr.. George Loves was mustered into the
Grand Army tonight The Post is grow
ing steadily. The Commissioners
haYe levied the tax for the relief of indi-
gent soldiers, and the Committee upon
such claims consists of Mark Sternberger, |
E. B. Bingham and Henry Hollberg. -.
A movement is on foot by Grand Army |
men here to secure from the General Gov
tombstones for all the unmarked |
graves of soldiers in this County. There |
are quite a number of such graves that |
ought to be looked after. =. The thanks |
of old soldiers are due to Col. L. A. Harris |
of Cincinnati, for getting G. r. McCarty
into the Dayton Home. Also to Com
mander Irvine DUNCAN. When it was
first attempted to get the old man in, the
usual red-tape reply came, that it would |
require months yet to reach the case. Mr..
Harris, being the Ohio Director of the
Home, was induced to take the matter in
charge and the result was, but a few days
was permitted to pass, until satisfactory
result was reached. .....A number of |
friends congregated at the residence of
Mrs. Stiffier, mother of "Dick" Stiffler, last
night, for the purpose of giving her a
surprise party, but the old lady
refused to make herself manifest, and the
neighbors had to pack their little love-
offerings, and file sorrowfully away again.
1t was case in which the surprisers
were surprised. There was a large
at the Rink tonight After
The skating had stopped, the band boys
put down the stage for the Concert Mon
lay night. They worked till nearly mid
night. 49,. Peter Pickrel came in with a
fine string of quail this evening. ''Toot"

ley Hawk and Lodie Lynn were married
in Milton Township, also r. U. Wilson,

his text from the prophesy of Ezekiel. |
Large congregations, morning and even |
ing. Robert Rallston, who has been |
working at Athens for some weeks, is |
back, and reports wonderful interest in |
the Temperance cause up there. A great |
meeting, or rather series of meetings, was
held for two or three days prior to the
time of taking the vote on local option. |
A colored choir furnished music, and
there was much enthusiasm. Mrs. |
Caleb Hank has been in quite poor health
for some time. -. Since writing the
item about the burning of the Stevison
child, we learn a few additional particu-
lars. The woman had placed some hick-
ory wood on the fire to start it up when
she went for water, and upon coming
back, set the bucket down and ran out. to
pull some turnips On discovering the
fire, she ran to the house and saved two
children that were inside, but could not
reach the baby. She tried to reach the
baby, and was considerably burned.
