road to-day. Along the way overtool
. Uncle Billy Law. Mr.. Law is one of th'
oldest of our citizens. but still walks tt
. town occasionally. The road from Jack
son for mile and half out has beer
worked great deal, yet is in miserable
r condition. The trouble with the improve
ments is that the track is not made
; wide enough, and teams meeting, one has
to tumble down over high bank, in or
der to pass. 49,. Buck Esom was up be
fore the Mayor, for having row with
Bill Martin. Esom will be remembered
as having figured in the Bill Jones case
-. DIR. johnson was seen making fol
the lunch room with full head of steam
on. "Tve played joke on the keepers of
the lunch room," he said, "I took several
friends in, to-day, for dinner, and paid for
all the meals except my own" The doc
tor thought it was too big a thing for the
restaurant to lose. -. Crowds of people
are decorating the Rink tonight.
SUNDAY.-Whew Terribly hot, re-
lieved by hard rain this afternoon. 80.
An enthusiastic young fellow who seems
to think that men have moral and re-
ligious right to live off of better men than
themselves by poisoning peoples stom-
achs for money, attacked, with abusive
| language, a Salvation soldier last night,
in the course of which talkhe denounced
| the Army as "a money-makin' concern"
All, there's where it pinches! Men have
quit supporting a lot of internal lazy
loafers, and are giving the money to the
Salvation Army. The result is, the men
and their families are healthy and happy,
and the doggery-keepers are lonesome.
Our observation is that when men stay
away from the doggeries, the keepers of
the dens can do no harm. Miss Harting
er made talk this afternoon that had
the right ring in it -. .Children's Day
exercises at the Presbyterian Church. An
enjoyable time was had.
MONDAY. - The funeral of Mrs. Jo
Smith, this afternoon, was largely attend
ed. The remains were taken to the new
cemetery, on the hill, and buried. 1t will
cause pang in many heart to think of
merry, warm-hearted Ida Wade being
dead. She was young lady of loveable
disposition, and had hosts of friends. Her
mother had been with her for some time
previous to her death, but the rest of the
family are away in Kansas. .......G. w.
Fry, of Vinton County, is in town
to-day. -. Mr.. Hutchins is in town, at
tending Court. $500. Jim McKitterick
brought in fine drove of young cattle
this evening. 49,. "A movement is on foot
to get up a Fourth of July celebration.
Squire Armpstead Scurlock is in
to-day, and says that the men suspicioned |
of the Winchester robbery, proved to be |
the wrong men. They were tracked this
way from Winchester, but were not the |
right parties. 49,. j ohm D. Davis, of JEFF |
ferson, is in town. A rag-dealer is |
living in fine style in large tent on the |
Orange Field. 49,. George Dever and a
party of friends went to Chillicothe this |
evening, to attend Barnum's show to-
morrow.
TUESDAY,. Edward Jones, of Oak
Hill, is in town. Oliver Davis went |
to Chillicothe, with Charles Bennett, of |
that place, who has been visiting here for
some days. -. Let everybody attend the
great Commencement at the Rink to-
night. VIII speak of it next week.
The Commencement of the Jackson
High School at the Crescent Opera
House, on last Thursday night was one
of the grandest gatherings ever seen in
Jackson. The great room was filled-yes,
packed. The graduating class consisted
of Misses Clara V. Dauber, Minnie Far
rar, Carrie Henson, Ida Cook, Jennie
Name Williams, Rosa M. Ken
dali, Susa l.. Davis, Amanda Long, and
Messrs. Chester A. Dyer, George F. Glib
son, Ora o. Evans and Benson Evans.
The room was tastefully arranged,
wealth of flowers being displayed.
Across the stage was suspended the class
motto: "Thus Ends Our First Lesson"
The Commencement Exercises were high
ly successful and satisfactory, though
perhaps little too long. 1t is most too
much of feast for one evening. Jack
son shows best at School or Musical
Entertainment, and the aggregation of
beauty and refinement on this occasion
was such as was to be expectedsafter the
great Cantata recently held. We believe
our young friends will be glad to drop
that motto, however, in the near future.
The real first lesson is only begun-the
first faint tracings of the primary lesson
in the great School of life have been
shown them. The serious study is yet
to come. Let us hope that the last "Com-
mencement'' will be as full of flowers,
and joy, and beauty, as this first one has
been.
