Daily Observations

THURsDAY.-Mrs. j. w. Hank is in
very poor health. IA friend calls at
tention to the fact that in speaking of the
meeting at Oak Hill, we omitted the name
of Ambrose Leach, one of the speakers.
Beg pardon, friend Leach. Some of
the young men in this place made up a
purse to-day and presented to Maj. Camp
as a testimonial of their appreciation of
his work here. The meeting at the Rink
tonight was perhaps the grandest meet
ing ever held in Jackson. There was
scarcely standing room, and the meeting
lasted until late hour. Remarks were
made by Isaac Brown, J. w. Longbon,
Revs. Rudisill and Tedford, and Maj.
Camp. A great number signed the pledge
A pleasant feature of the exercises was
the singing by Messrs. J. w. Hank and
Johnny Williams, and Miss Minnie Far
rar A recitation by Miss Ida Jones was
also good feature. There were many
signers tonight for whom earnest, heart
felt prayers will ascend. The good work
goes on grandly, gloriously. The splendid
young men who have signed, are the
glory of the town. They will push the
great work of reformation and righteous
ness and build up the substantial interests
of the community. Let the young men
come to the front and keep the good
work going right on.
FRIDAY.-Maj. Camp left this morning
for home. His departure was the acca-
sion of quite demonstration on the part
of the young men of the town. A dele
cation of some forty or fifty young men
went with him to the depot, and demand
ed short farewell talk after he had got
ten on the car. Mr.. Camp has made
many friends here, friends to be proud of,
as they are proud of him. He will be
back in December. -. Rev. p. Henry, of
Franklin Valley, called this morning. -.
John D. Jones is building large new
house in Kahn'S Addition. James
Fry has his new house about done. 49,.
Mr.. J. HI. Bum is on the sick list to-day.
...... The Entertainment at the Rink
tonight was well attended, and gave gen.
eral satisfaction. Some of the pictures
produced a beautiful effect, and struck
sympathetic chord in the hearts of the
old soldiers present. "A meeting of
the Temperance Organization was held at
the Probate Judges Office this evening.
This organic alton will be known as
the Gospel Temperance Union of
Jackson, Ohio. Its objects will be to
reclaim drinking men, lift up the fall
en-, rescue the perishing, and so on.
Our people seem to be in earnest about
this work. -. John Z. Jones is in town.
The friends of Miss Ida Gilliland, daugh-
ter of George Gilliland, gave the little la
dy a surprise party tonight, and had a
good time. -. Milton Phillips has turn
ed carpenter for the time being, and is re-
pairing the roof of his residence this
evening.
SATURDAY. lively snow-storm this
morning, but melting as fast as falling.
Turned tremendously chilly toward night.
The rush for School certificates
seems to be slack, there being but one.
wv. M. Johnson's new house is rapid
ly approaching completion. Quite
number of G. A. r. boys from the coun-
try attended the exhibition at the Rink
tonight. 80. To-day witnessed the death
of the little Democratic Daily Stereotype.
Squire Lewis, the piper, organized
a drum corps for the G. A. r. entertain
ment, and gave the citizens some old-time
war-music. Another fierce argument
on Temperance, between Temperance
man and Third Party Democrat. The
same old story from the DENNY: 81 am
opposed to the Temperance Reform move
ment, because its originators were Re-
publicans." On the same grounds, that
man is Opposed to the freedom of the
slaves, the putting down of the Rebellion,
the Resumption of Specie Payments, and
so on. All were originated by Republi-
cans, though many good Democrats Joined
in. We only cite such cases as this to
show how bigoted, narrow-minded and
crazy some of the anti-temperance cranks
get. There are very few of them. thank
the Lord, outside the doggeries. 49,.
Worthington and Joseph got the cylin-
ders of gas, for their stereoptican lights,
from st. Louis. By misunderstanding
they ran short, and had to abbreviate
their exhibition somewhat.
SUNDAY.-Snowingt this morning. .....
Mr.. Roberts preached at Baptist Church
to-day. Temperance Meeting tonight

cold weather. A large crowd assembled.

zation, addresses were made by T. A.

Rev. Roberts, E. C. Powell and Isaac
Brown. Mr.. Brown gave humorous ac-
count of his first and last experience as a
drinker: With number of friends in
Chillicothe many years ago, he and two
other friends were rooming together
One of them proposed that they all take
drink before getting up, in the morn
ing. A boy was called, who brought UP
the drinks. Mr.. Browns friends drank
their doses while he took little of his
Soon they all became violently sick. AT
