here, beginning on the 4th. ...J M. Ey.
ans has joined the Grand Army Post. -.
A gentleman in from Leo says he
brought in load of wheat, as grain is
about the only profitable thing farmer
can sell, fruits being so cheap. -. The
camp meeting is not largely attended as
yet. Miss Lou Matthews has returned
from visit to Gallia County.
THURsDAY-Quite crowd of Jackson
people went up to Wellston. The six
o'clock train on the o. S. road had a seri-
Gus time getting up, owing to the dew on
the rails. When a grade was reached. the
engine-which was backing-would cut
loose, run up the grade, then come down
sanding the track. The slow progress
was the source of endless amusement to
the passengers. Just above Coalton, a
team was observed plodding solemnly
along. "Why," said one passenger, "that
team left Jackson long after we did, ard
here it passes us at Glen Roy" AT a
point near Lucas Grove, the train stop
ped, when Johnny Bohen stepped to the
voice called out: "Change cars for Pom
eroyw 1t was fun, all the way up.......
Nat Hoover went to Wellston yesterday
on horseback. They wanted his horse
to use in a team in the procession. After
they got through with the animal they
tied him to a fence. when he broke loose
and lit out for his home, down in Liberty
Township. Delegates to State Con-
vention got back. Judge Longbon
returned from Columbus. Misses
Grace Matthews, Ada Horton, Frank
Hanna, returned from their Western trip.
80. Mrs. g. w. Cavett and family, of
Covington, arrived to-day AT the
Reunion grounds at Wellston to-day an
internal doggery was run openly, two
kegs of beer being on tap all the time.
This was the most disgraceful picture we
have witnessed in long time. more so
than the half-dozen gambling schemes on
the grounds. Among the novel schemes
was that of a great strapping fellow, who
had long, narrow board, with three lit
tie pins sitting at one end. "Who wants
roll? Every time you knock down one,
you get cigar-two. you get quarter
three a half dollar" This seemed
undoubtedly the tail end of the gambling
business. -. The Wellston boys seemed
to feel aggrieved that Francis Smith Post
did not turn out as Post. but we
did not observe remarkable turn out of
James Smith Post.
FRIDAY.-Our old friend John d. Dav-
is, of Gambia, is in town to-day. .... Rev.
P. Henry is here to-day. Connected with
the robbery of the Parsonage of Franklin
Valley. there is a good joke told on some
of the neighbors down there A neigh |
Dor lady, had been over to the Parsonage
to call, and finding no one at home, went
on to another neighbor's. When the rob-
berry was discovered and the neighbors
began looking for clue, they almost in
stantly discovered the robbers track. |
This they eagerly followed for some dis
tance, making sure of the route taken
by the william. Butt! 1t was suddenly |
discovered that it was the good lady's |
track they had been following. But they |
won't tell it down there-and we guess
we won't. Mr.. Abel Wynne, of
Centreville, is in town to-day. To say
in Jackson County, is the highest praise
we can bestow upon him. Uncle |
George Dever has been in the country
for some time. .......A large crowd at
tended the Camp Meeting at the Fair
Ground, tonight. The choir of young |
folks possess good voices, and really make
excellent music. Judge Miller |
started out on Grangering expedition
this morning, to his farm in Liberty
Township. He took along a frst-class
cider-mill, and Uncle Tom Bakers team,
and expected to come back with cider
enough to run whole Temperance cam
paign. Rev.F. S. Davis and family ac-
companied the expedition. .....J Jos.
Grace is adding a new summer kitchen
to his residence. C. A. r. choir
practicing for the Reunion Exercises. -.
THE Salvation army paused at the in
tersection of Pearl and Broadway, last
night, and held services. We accused our
old friend Aten of being the object of
their prayerful solieitude, but he declared
it must be Charley Schellenger, as they
were closer to that corner.
SATURDAY.-George w. Harbarger has
a picture of Benjamin Newlen and his
wife Patience, and their seUenteel1 chill
dren, all healthy bright-looking children,
ranging from the little boy and girl to
the middle-aged man and woman. The
boys are all Republicans, and never used
stimulants of any kind. The old man is
justly proud of his fine family. He has
had lots of cares in raising this large
family-but he never lost Patience. Wish
they had few more such families where
Benjamin lives, over in VintOn County.
... Since the item was written,
which appears on the outside of this pa
per, the citizens have had a meeting and
concluded not to have street display at
the Reunion next Tuesday, owing to the
lack of time for necessary preparation.

Gently purchased a horse of Robinson's
Show Company. 1t was good horse but
slightly lame, and Dave got it at a bar
gain.
SUNDAY.-A fearfully hot day. The
Camp Meeting folks were disappointed
to-day in their excursions. But very few
people came each way, and the extra train
business was a fiat failure. There was a
