most active and successful ministers that
ever labored in Jackson, and we are sor-
ry that the congregation here did not re-

in; town, and splendid citizen. .......
There was an alarm of fire at noon to-
day, caused by blaze in the roof of Mrs.

a time it looked as though at least two
buildings might go, but the engine soon
got to work and saved the residence with
slight damage. Hal Good luck. Rob

FRIDAY.-A little campany of Jackson
people-Mr. and Mrs. Judge Miller, Mr..
and Mrs. Rice, Mrs. J. Ell. Mackley and
the writer-paid visit to Hamden, to-
day This pretty village has caught the
boom infection from Wellston, and is
brushing up considerably. The passion
for repairing, and adding to the value of
property, is noticeable everywhere. The
new foundry was running. or rather "go-
ing through the motions" This is fine
building, and the town lots laid off about
it are beautifully situated, and form ex-
cellent building sites. The new mill
building is nearly completed, and this is
a bailding of which any village might
well feel proud. Both these new build
ings are of brick. Among the better class
of buildings in Hamden are the stores of
Mr.. Stanton and R. s. Wilcox, as fine
business houses are met with in any
country town. We called at the store of
Mr.. Carraci, but the elder gentleman was
not in. His son, Harry, was present, and
expressed a kindly feeling for Jackson,
stating that he had attended a "dance" at
the Rink" at Jackson last night, and had
danced some teoeaaty-sic times. The dam
cling girls of Jackson ought to present
Harry with a pair of cork legs. At the
American House, Grandpap johnson was
as happy as ever, and the ladies of the
party were much pleased to meet Mrs.
Taylor. of the American, most estima-
BILE lady and splendid conversationalist.
OF course the wonderful curative powers
of the Hamden Water were frequently al
luded to by Hamdenites. Among the
cases of remarkable cures mentioned was
that Of Mr.. Steenrod, formerly of Col
umbus, who came to Hamden a few
weeks ago almost helpless, and went
away almost entirely cured. Altogether,
we were all well pleased with our visit to
Hamden. John T. Moore went to
Wellston. .... Herb. Sternberger went to
Athens. We learn that Herb. will quit
travelling about the middle of the present
year, and return to Jackson. By the way
Herb drew one of the finest lots in the
Foundry Addition at Hamden, and has
already been offered an advance on it,. ;.
