upon his bench. She eats very little, anG
claims to regard it as "a sin to eat.

tells of an incident in the experience of a
Jackson County man which reminds one
of Joseph's experience in Egypt. Many
years ago John Reed, of Franklin Town
ship, came here from Pennsylvania. Some
time after his location here, he had splen-
did corn crops, as did also his neighbors,
thus making corn very cheap. One year
the corn crop failed in Pennsylvania, and
Mr.. Reed secured lot of Jackson County
corn, shelled and sacked, and sent it to
Pennsylvania, where the people were
eager to pay one dollar per bushel for it.
This was certainly a good price for corn
in those days. In contrast with this incl
dent, the proprietor of this paper yester-
day received letter from sister in Ne
braska, in which she says "the weather is
very cold, but we have plenty of corn for
fuel. Uncle Alex. Poor called to-
day, jolly and happy as ever. There is
always ray of sunshine where our old
friend is. Mr.. Roberts, who lives
near the residence of Jos. Hoskins, will
have an addition built to his house, soon.
.....45 persons, including Jackson
Band. went to Wellston to attend the K.
of P. supper.
SATURDAY Another blizzard.
Twelve in jail Sheriff Lively has been
holding reception this week, getting in
prisoners at the rate of one per day dur
ing the entire week. ..... There was
small blaze about the chimney
of the residence of Mr.. Neville,
on Main Street, tonight, but the

fire department. 49,. Will. Branscomb, of
Mt. Zion. was brought before the Mayor
charged with disturbing concert given
by Prof. Hank and pupils, at Buckeye
School House. He waived examination,
and was bound over in two hundred dol
lars, but was unable to find bail at the
time. He then skipped out from the
Mayors office, but after short chase was
recaptured. He was placed in Jail. but
was afterward bailed out. This is the
second time this young man has been
brought up ON this same kind of charge
within short time. A young man
named Ball was tried before Squire
McCIung to-day ON two charges, carrying
concealed weapons and disturbing meet
ing. He was fined ten dollars and costs
in each charge. The costs are considera-
BILE and it will take the young man long
time to square up for his fun. He was
much surprised and disgusted when he
found that instead of lying in the COM
Portable Jail at Jackson, he would have to
go to Cincinnati and go to work.

man recently from Wales, died at the res
idence of Steve Davis. Funeral to-day
