Daily Observations

Rowland, of Jackson Township, is il
town to-day. He had a narrow escape
from losing his residence last night Th'
building took fire, from the kitchen
shortly after dark, and the people ha(
quite battle with the flames before
subduing them. The loss will not amount
to over fifty dollars. :. If the silent mar
with the dog-buttons would take solemn
walk about Jackson some night, we are
not sure that the town would suffer in
consequence ....... Another little show
at the Rink" tonight. IA couple oil
three cows took a walk about town to-
day, and landed in the pound...... The
Portsmouth Tribune has this to say OF
Miss Jessie Bum: Miss Jessie Bum, of
Jackson, who is sojourning on the Pacific
Coast, is sending home some very enter
tanning aud instructive letters that are
printed in the Jackson papers. Miss
Bum, who is quite an accomplished
young lady, will be pleasantly remembered
here, where she has frequently visited
and taken lessons in music and painting
=. The Jackson Band was out tonight,
playing for the show. VIM. Lewis,
of Wellston, is here to-day. j. L. Jones
afternoon, during the trial of an assault
and battery case. When the testimony
was in, the officer asked defendants
attorney if he wanted to argue the case.
Mr.. Jones gave an answer which led the
Prosecutor to think he was going to ad-
dress the jury, so the officer proceeded to
address the jury son behalf of the State
When hesshad finished, Mr.. Jones per-
mitted the jury to receive the charge
without saying a word. But the
Prosecutor doubtless made good speech.

Real Estate business. So, also has S. E.

j. Evans. of Coalton, are in town to-day,
THURsDAY.-The Missionary Tea and
Social at the home of T. j. Edwards this
evening was one of the best-all things
held in Jackson. At
assembled, and the program of exercises
begin. This consisted of concert readings,
recitations, vocal and instrumental music
and so on. Mr.. Stephenson, of Belle
fontaine, the gentleman who organized
the library here, sang a selection; Mrs.
Bentley and Miss Chestnut each sang
solos; little "Totsy" Edwards drought
down the house." by comic recitation.
Refreshments were served to the vast
crowd of people, and everything con-
nected with the affair was an entire
success. If there are any hosts anywhere
who excel jeff. and "Chub" Edwards, we
have not found them. 1t was happy,
well spent evening. The ladies are
pushing the Missionary work right along,
and are succeeding well, as well as having
8 good time.. Some of Capt. Hurd's
children were poisoned-or at least made
very sick by eating candy. Mr.. Reese
Thomas children were also made very
sick, short time since, by eating a
peculiar kind of candy. 49,. Charles
Elliott, died last night from suffocation,
the result of fit, we understand. Mr.
Elliott was good boy, and had many
friends. -. Walter Jones, Dan. Faulkner,
Capt Evans, and quite number of Oak
Hill folks are up to-day, attending Court.
Uncle Johnny Davis is in town. A
scandal case in Court rather gives bad
name to piece of timber on Uncle
Johnny's land, and he declares he has a
notion of burning the place down. The
show tonight was not well attended. 1t
seems that the show business is rapidly
running down, at this place. 1t is getting
n ha fnn For Ghor1io
Of Wellston, to come down and keep door
for the travelling troupes.
