Daily Observations!


of j. Baxter Mutt, of Wellston, died last
week. -. The Odd Fellows Hall is be
ing carpeted. -. John Aten, in plowing
few days ago, ran the plow against the
roots of stump, and large blacksnake
crawled out. The black fellow certainly
made a mistake in coming out, for ii
John hadn't killed him he would have
frozen to death I'D T. johnson and ID.
L. Pickrel have purchased the lots of
Chas. S. Dickson, on South Street, near
Bedels.. Patterson, teacher of the
high school, has been sick for day or
two, threatened with fever. The in
suranee adjuster was here looking after
Mrs Carrick'si loss, few days ago. He
selected d. s. Thomas and Geo. Shaffer as
appraisers, and the damage was fixed at
eighty-two dollars. This has been
dreadfully disagreeable, cold day, with.
high Winds Matt. S. Lyon will take a
job of work on the new canning factory
at Beavertown. We believe they have
enough lots sold to insure the building
of the enterprise.
THURsDAY.-A raging, double-geared.
0OQOlO-dCtlllS O1ALLdA0, Aeto AoAA SAuA 81 ~
things here to-day. Tremendously cold,
and the wind blowing gale. Mr.. and
Mrs. Wellington Evans, of Portsmouth,
are visiting friends here. Warren
Schellenger, an old 91st boy, called to-day.
Warren is one of the men we always
love to take by the hand. He was one of
the men who wrote history with Crook
and Sheridan in the Virginias, and has
splendid military record. -. We received
to-day good long letter from Rev. j. Il.
Collier, of Louisville, KY. Bro. Collier
sends greeting to his old friends, and ex-
presses great qualification at the growth
of Jackson. The electric light men
have been wrestling with Council for a
day or two I'VE see by the Gallipolis
papers that John F. Vaughn offers
property for public sale. Mr.. Vaughn
has had some bad luck recently. A year
or more ago his wife fell and was fatally
injured; few days ago his house took
fire and was consumed. He is nephew
of the Vaughn's of this county-Stephen,
Mordecai, James and Thomas.
FRIDAY.-A fierce snow-storm, with
all kinds of weather.. Rev. j. E. Rud-
isll called at this office. He had a very
pleasant visit to Columbus. and was a
listener to a part of the great speech of
Mr. Mills, in the tally-sheet forgery case.
49,. The Council has made terms with
the electric light people, and the work
will go right on. The Thompson-Hou
ton company and Edison company will
furnish the dynamo and lights, and Ball |
engine will be used. The building will
be located on Salt Creek, in the edge of |
jamestown, near the Broadway street |
bridge The Council has done a great |
deal of work in getting along thus far
with the matter. -. Miss Cora Miller is |
sick. Mr.. John D. Evans, of Clay,
called to-day. He will have sale at his |
farm near Zoar Church on April 4th....
Elder Cassiday held services at the Chris-X
tian Church tonight. One lady was bap7l
tized.
SATURDAY.-We can say to the Argus |
that 'surf-bathing" in Jackson County |
salt water is not new in these parts, as |
salt well was used here for many years, |
for that purpose. And it was splendid |
thing, too and ought never to have been
filed up. Fremont Poor called to-day. |
He is giong to start at once for Hume |
well. Kansas. Jackson County will hate
to lose Fremont, as he is one of the young |
men that help to make up a solid COM
munity Miss Belle Swanson re-
turned home from Columbus to-day.
Miss Matte Boggess, of Greenfield, is
visiting friends here .....Johnny New
vahner came home on visit to-day. He |
is attending the Ohio State University at |
Columbus. -. DR.. G. A. Ewing returned |
from Washington. "A heavy snow |
night. The Robert Buck Co. arrived |
in town. .....J. B. Howe is selling Foun- |
dry lots. The Salvation Army was
out marching to-night-all four of it -.
Miss Cora Miller has been sick for some |
days, but is better. IT. B. Dickson, of |
Hiawatha, Kansas, started home this |
evening, after pleasant visit among |
friends here. Judge Miller is start |
ing off with rush of business in his office |
on Broadway. Anything that Miller does |
is done right. Pensioners and persons !
having business in the Probate Court |
should call on him.
SUNDAY.-Raining nearly all day.
There was good attendance at the Tenn |
perance Meeting at M. E. Church tonight, |
considering the terribly disagreeable |
weather. Short addresses were made by |
John 7. Moore and Rev. Rudisill. The |
music was furnished by quartet, con-
sisting of Mrs. Bentley, Miss Carrie Hen
son, Mr.. E. Crandall and Mr.. M. d. Jones. |
1t is not necessary to say that it was of
the highest order of excellence. -. The
BARRIERS are highly pleased with the new
order of things up on Sunday.
There is no decrease in the business, and |
people seem about as well pleased. 1t is
to be hoped that the same order of things
will reach other branches of business,
and keep going until Jackson shows at
least as much respect for the Sabbath as
Patagonian .....John Smart, Wilson
Jordan, R. N. Kendall, Joseph Gress,
Michael Strickland, and James,
prominent Odd Fellows, went to Simp-
sons station last Sunday, on hand-car,
to visit a sick member of the order, by
the name of James Jackson. Mr.. Jack
son is very exemplary young man and
has been in very poor health for about
four weeks and is quite poorly yet.
MoNDAY.-This has been a lively day
in the political field, the friends of the
various candidates working industriously
to arouse on enthusiasm. There was
large convention tonight, some three
hundred and sixty odd votes being cast.
For Mayor. after the first ballot, Phillips
came down, when J. l.. Jones was NOM
mated as against T. A. Jones. J. S.
