Family Reunion.

A very pleasant family reunion
took place on Thursday of last
week at the residence of Mr.. Joh1
Willison, of Edwina, this County
Added to the general interest that
always clusters around such occa
sions, was the interesting fact thai
it was also the fiftieth anniversary
of the welded life of Mr.. and Mrs
Willison. Halfa century has elapsed
since they commenced the journey
of life together, and on this occa
sion they welcomed to their hospit
able home the children and grand
children of their declining years
We regret to say that Longfellow' s
beautiful lines Of
''There is no fireside-how so'er defended,
But has one vacant chair
were exemplifed in this case-in the
absence of one of their sons-whC
was unable to attend. Otherwise, the
family circle was complete. To oul
aged friends the SPIRIT sends con
gratulations, and the hope that they
may enjoy many more such happy
gatherings.

DIED.-On the 18th inst, at
o'clock p. m, Mr.. William Dearth.
The remains we're inferred in tie
Barber Ridge Cemetery. The de-
ceased was about 80 years of age.
On Wednesday of last week Jacob
Hogue got badly hurt in some way.
We did not learn the particulars; it
is supposed that some unknown par
ty or parties were concerned.
We anticipate wedding in the
near future, yet we will not give Mr..
and Mrs. Byers away this time.
The Moose Ridge School under
the management of G. o. Dougher-
ty, is quite success SO far.
QUERIEs.-Why did j. S. j. change
his boarding? A. That was his no
ton.
Where does B. F., get his smoking
tobacco? A. That is his lookout.
We suppose the time will never
come when all persons will quit u.s.
ing strong drink as beverage. We
have no objections to a man drink
ing 10 or Is glasses of whiskey, Or
2 or 3 gallons of hard-cider, or a keg
of lager Beer-lf he can stand even
that little bit without getting drunk
and meddling with Others.

TRADE SUMMARY
of the Past Week.

Collections average fair.
Coal is in general quest, with the
supply, in many quarters, far behind
positive orders. Prices are stiff.
Manufactured iron is still in good
demand, and prices remain, of course,
good, with prospects of an early rise.
General trade is exhibiting a fall
ing-of, that is partly due to natural
causes, and partly to feeling of un-
certainty among large buyers. The
former, however, are chiefly respon-
sible.
The weather has been generally
seasonable, and goods designed for
holiday sale, have been meeting with
due appreciation. The holiday trades
of the country will be of much lar
ger proportion this year, than were
before known.
The markets were affected to a
less degree, and buying has been
brisk all along the line. This is
due to the strength of the foreign
markets, about the standing of
which there is just now, no uncer-
tainty.
Wool markets are as stiff as ever,
though sales have visibly fallen off,
Many manufacturers have practic
ally ceased turning out new stocks,
owing to the impossibility of get
ting a market for their goods that
shall recompense them for the high
er prices paid for the raw materials.
The recent financial turn in New
York unsettled the wheat market,
as it did nearly all others, and val
ues deprecated in spite of other
fayoring circumstances. There was
an after recovery, and at the present
writing the market is fairly strong,
with lessened purchases,
A change from the last report is
that the dry goods trade has drop
ped from the business lead, and has
taken subordinate place in the
fashioning of trade totals. This is
due. primarily, to the approach of
the annual stock taking, when from
an old-timed custom, dealers want
to have stocks as low as possible.

No Selling Within Two Miles Of FAIR
Grounds.

Besides the decision in the Dow
law cases by the Supreme Court of
Ohio last week, that body also rem
dered a decision on the law prohibi-
ting the sale of liquor within two
miles of fair grounds during time of
fair. This was the case of John G.
Heck VS.. The State of Ohio, taken
up on appeal from the Circuit Court
of Tuscarawas county, to test the
right of the Agricultural Society to
make him close his business during
the fair, his saloon being located
within the forbidden two miles. The
Supreme Court declared the provi-
sion constitutional by affirming the
Judgment of the lower court. Judge
Follet dissented. Next year all sa-
looms within two miles of fail
ground will have to "shut up shop
during the fair, or pay the penalty

OBITUARY.

DIED.-On the 10Th day of De
cember, 1886, on Rich Fork, William
Death, in his Slst year. He leaves
six children and number of grand
children to mourn his loss. He was
a member of the Church of Christ
for a number of years; his daily
walk showed to the world that he
was a Christian at heart. He is nc
longer with us, but lives in higher
regions with his companion who
died several years ago. To his chill
dren he was a kind father; to his
neighbors a good citizen, and as
such he will stay in the remembrance
of all his friends.
Sweetly he sleeps mong the dead,
Humbly he rests his weary head;
Wrapped in the folds of earth he lies,
Awaiting the summons to arise.

The Bazar.

AS announced before hand, Ba-
zar was given at the M. Z. Church
on Thursday and Friday nights of
last week, The extremely unfavor-
able weather of the first evening
caused the attendance to be decided
ly limited, but on Friday evening
there was much larger number
present. 1t affords us pleasure to
say that the enterprise was fnan
cially a success. We understand
that about thirty dollars remained
after paying all expenses. Great
credit is due the association of Young
ladies-The Kings Builders-for
their energy in the praiseworthy
efforts to pay a claim that should
receive the attention of older ones.
We are compelled to omit de
scrlption of the decoration of the
room. but all who attended agreed
in pronouncing it neat, tasty and
highly creditable to those who fash
ioned it.
One Of the most attractive fca-
ture of the occasion was we'll filled

A Positive Cure.

tism in my hips, ankles, and wrists. I
could hardly walk, and was confined to my

FIRE AND DEATH.-The alarm of
fire was heard this Thursday morn
ing, and it was soon known that it
was at the house of Daniel Strawder,
(colored), }, in the first ward. The fire
however did slight damage and was
soon extinguished. 1t originated on
tie second floor, and the probability
is that it occurred about as follows:
The little four year old grandchild
of Mr.. Strawder, Kentie Goens, came
down stairs and was sent back for
some reason. There was fire in
the room which he was sent to. The
boy had been cautioned many times
during the past few days by his
grandmother not to play with the
fire, on account Of the death which
was caused by burning a few days
ago. 1t is supposed, Judging from
all the circumstances, that the little
fellow concluded to see what he
could do with fire while alone, and
that his clothing took fire from the
stove. About this time neighbors
notified Mr.. Strawder's family that
the house was on fire, and they i'm
mediately ran up stairs to find the
child, but the smoke was too suffo-
catirg. After the fire was extin-
guished another search was made
for the child, which was found in a
closet, where it had gone with its
clothes burning, and died from the
effects. All the clothing and con-
tents of the closet were also burned.
In the child's hand was found half
burned cloth or paper, which it is
supposed it had used in playing
with the tire.-MarieHa Register.
