folks. -. John Darling, of Coalton, is il

an assured fact. The lots will be laid ou

invitations to the wedding of Mr.. M. b
Wise and Miss Lehman, in Portsmouth
tonight. Miss Lehman is sister of Mrs

CLAIR there were two whole itterS of pigs
frozen during the recent cold snap.
The sunny side of the Sternberger build
ing, on Broadway and Main, is daily lined
with men enjoying the warm air, giving
unmistakable evidence that Spring is
near james Meacham tells of an old
gentleman who resided some distance in
the country who "knew a thing or two
about raising chickens" Said the man
ME an my wife, the fust year we wuz
married, had hen and rooster. We
had all the eggs we could eat or use that
year, raised and sold fifteen dollars worth
of chickens from the one hen, and got five
dollars for the rooster" That was fowl
story worthy of attention. -. Long gets
about sixty acres of land from Carr. The
building for the dairy stables is being put
up. MIR. Carr, we believe, will get about
three hundred dollars per year, and the
compost from the stables, as rental.
THURsDAY.-Another blast of winter
tonight. Considerable inquiry is be-
ing made to-day by the friends of Mr.. Ed.
Potts, as Ed. is accused of being married.
The bride was Miss Malinda Price, and
she is the third wife of Mr.. Potts. "A
man named Riley, from a Cincinnati
liquor firm, is here to-day with claim
against Coalition whisky-slinger named
Deem. Marshal Owens went up tonight
to attach his goods, and found-an empty
barrel! The good red likker" had all
evaporated By the way, these dens are
not doing marvellous business now. We
are glad to know that the great majority
of people have a contempt for the dens,
money. 1t will be happy day for Jack
son when the last one of them starves
out. -. Mrs L. A. Caudle is in quite
poor health, not able to be about. The
old gentleman is also in poor health. Yet
these good old folks are always glad to
see their friends. Frank ("Burnie'o
French, of Jackson Township is in town
to-day. -. Mrs. B. Harry French was
given q divorce. Mr.. j. III. Bum
boiled down some of the salt water from
the oil WELL The "salt" produced is ter
ribly rank and strong, biting the tongue
like fire. The brine will not produce
fine quality of table salt. Bob Robin
son, the Snowman, is in town. 1000.
The owners of the old City Hall" have
concluded not to partition it off into sep
arate rooms. -. Perry Carr and another
man discharged from Jail = no indict-
ments against them.
FRIDAY-Clear and cold. -. John J.
Thomas, of the Oak Hill Fire Brick Co,
is in town .....T The reftting of the Hun
ter and Boggess room completed. -. The
young people of M. e. Church have
organized for the purpose of holding Sc
ries of prayer-meetings. The first, to-
night, was well attended. -. An old acAl
quaintance of the Winchell family says
that old Aunt Sail" Winchell is living
yet in Nebraska, and that the handsomest
of three sent up for the murder of ''old
Dana man who always passed as Dams
son-was really the son of Governor of
Ohio. Certain it is that truthful his
tory of this remarkable family would be
more interesting than all the fiction ever |
written about the Jameses or Benders |
On one occasion when living in the north
part of this State, church was burned |
down which had stood upon the edge of |
old Dams place. A meeting was held to
institute means to build it again. The |
best that could be done left deficiency
of three hundred dollars. What was the |
surprise of the people to see old Dan
walk in with great purse of money, and
ask "how much was needed" On learn 4
ing the amount, he counted out the monJ
ey and told them to "go ahead with the |
meetin' housep' 1t was said of him that |
he always stole from those in better/cir- |
cumstances than himself, and often gave |
his stealings to the poor. But he was
scarcely public benefactor, for all that.
Al How plead guilty tonight to
the burglarizing of Clay Bunn's residence.
Robert Richardson says that in his
neighborhood there are large numbers of
grasshoppers to be seen on the ground.
The grasshopper must have superseded
the grounding this year. A hopper that
can skip around over the frozen ground,
with the mercury marking twenty de-
grees below zero. has no need of going to
Kansas -. Mrs. G. w. Rice has handed
us a paper from Springfield, Ill., which
gives an account of the great jubilee
meeting at that place over the conversion
of one thousand souls. The meeting was
held in a beautiful new church, and was
conducted by Harrison, the "boy preach
-er."
SATURDAY.-A good business day in
town. -. Finley McNeal called The
old gentleman is looking well for man
of his years. ...... A Jackson lady pur-
chased roll of butter to-day and started
home with it. Meeting a little neighbor
girl, she sent the butter home. Shortly
afterward, missing the butter, she search
ed half a dozen stores for it before a
friend told her she had sent it home. This
beats the record on forgetfulness. .....
Debating societies seem to have many
drawbacks. A short time ago the Mt.
Zion society was "busted" by hot dis
cussion. A man from the "Hardscrabble'
District, over in Scioto, says debate was
set for that school house a few nights
ago, but one of the Directors nipped it in
the bud. ...... "A good congregation greet
