Jones has been on the sick list for day
or two. 80. Elder Kyle has been here for
a few days. Lieutenant Hartinger
has been stirring up the matter of the
young people disturbing the Army meet

might lead to humiliating results.

go. "A gentleman from the country asks
the question as to who was meant, in the
Sunday School Lesson, by the term Por-
ter, or person guarding the entrance to
the sheepfold. A discussion was held
upon the subject, some claiming that it
was John. In this connection we do not
think reference is had to any parsonage
or character, the term being used for pur-
poses of illustration of the parable. 1t
might mean the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of
the Church, or the Human Heart. ......
Almost as cold as Fall weather tonight.
Charles Meacham, of Mt. Zion, is teach
er in two Sunday Schools, one at Mt. Iii
on, and the other at Pleasant Grove.
A wedding at Squire McClung's office.
FRIDAY.-A beautiful day-"after the
rain. Thomas Baker is putting up
fine patch of oats on the farm of Mrs. Ell
len Mitchell. .McKitterick's have one
of the finest meadows of hay we have
seen in long time. The Chillicothe
road for five to six miles from this place,
is in excellent condition for mud road.
There are some chuck-holes, but vehicle
runs quite smoothly. The dog-pois
oner has got out into the country, and
this morning the beautiful dog belonging
to J. B. Howe was poisoned. This was
full-blood English Spaniel, purchased by
us in Cincinnati, years ago. .Zernie
Baird returned from his visit to Colum-
bus and other points. 80. e. B. Thomp-
son has German coin, silver, which is of
as great weight perhaps as dollar and a
half of our silver coin. Edgar carries it
as pocket piece, the date being the date
of his birth. We suggest that Ed. put
hole in it and fasten a string to it, as in
case of danger it would make a good
slung-shot. G. w. Rice carries a pocket
piece made in 1855. .... .Grandpap Nc
Carly is moving out the Chillicothe road
to-day, with his rag-wagon. -. Passed
our old friend w. W. Pierce's this morn
ing. The old gentleman is exercising
with a hoe, in fine garden. Osborne is
sorting apples. There is a little boy
living at Chapman's Switch who is per-
haps the worst crippled little fellow, to
be in apparently good health, in this part
of the country. Afflicted with some dis
ease affecting the bones of his legs, those
members have been literally broken to
pieces, and the little fellow has to go upon
his hands and feet. He is remarkably
pretty featured little fellow, and the pic
ture is very sad one.
SATURDAY.-"Down Brakesv cry the
Ohio Southern boys this afternoon
Danger Ahead" On last Saturday they
tried boys baseball club, and the boys
beat them easily. This afternoon they
set up job on the boys which was cal
culated to lay them out easily. Some of
the Railroaders even talked of betting on
their club. They placed three men from
Coalton-including Jim Gascoyne-in
their nine, and went for the boys. The
young fellows beat them at every point, |
from the very start. Marshman, the
young pitcher, is complete puzzle to the
Railroaders, and it was quite amusing to
see him shoot the ball in like lightning,
and such large stout-looking men as
Charley Miller and Alva Ferree wildly
striking at the air. On the other hand
the "kids" had no difficulty in knocking
the ball everywhere. The score was 27 to
Z in favor of the boys, and the jolly Rail
readers will have to hunt smaller boys.

tachment of the G. A. r. boys took

old friends. .....A large crowd at the
