Daily Observations.

the late wash. POOR, dleQ tnlS evening
This lady had been in very poor healt
for long time. She was daughter c
Mr.. Henry Phillips and sister of Mr.
j. NJ. McGhee of this place. .......J. T
Cook has repainted his home on Mai
street. -. DIR. Boggess went to Middle
port. -. Sheriff Lively went to Byer
Station - Marshal Martin has beel
full of business to-day. For some tim
very little attention has been paid to th
cow ordinance, and people have becom
little careless Many cows have beeI
running out, and the garden and fiowe
beds at our own residence remind us for
chilly of the recent depredations of th'
animals. To-day the Marshal has beer
putting up strays, and reaping quite {
harvest in poundage fees. There are some
points about this matter that ought to bt
carefully considered. 1t may seem hard
for poor man to have to pay a dollar, OF
half a dollar, for getting his cow out OF
the pound, or to keep her penned up-but
it is good deal harder for an equally
poor man to have fifty dollars worth OF
garden destroyed in one night, while he
is resting from hard days work. This
side of the picture should also be consid-
cred. 80. .Roderick is putting up an office
for j. b. Howe. Somebody set fire to
the pine thickets about buzzard rocks to-
day, causing lively blaze. Crowds
of people are over picking out their num-
bers on the nail mill addition to-day.
John Bertsch limps on badly crippled
foot, the result of a sprain, from stand
ing on ladder while painting.
THURsDAY.-Spring set in again to-
day, and garden-making goes on once
more. A force of men are busy pre-
pairing the foundation for the Wood-Coff-
man Baling Machine factory. The build
ing will be located in the field below the
Globe Mine, nearly opposite the residence
of John Kessner.. :. Mr.. S. P. Vaughn.
of Kerrs, Gallia County, called to-day, in
company with his father, Rev. NJ. d.
Vaughn. Orin Gould and Frank
McGhee were married this morning.
d. l.. s.ifdckley returned from Columbus.
PROF. Patterson has the young folks
pretty well trained in the game of tennis,
and the young ladies at play make pref
ty picture ....... Thomas Grifiths, ex-
policeman, is now able to come up town,
though still very weak. The boys
have been enjoying an endless streak OF
fun regarding the drawing of town lots
in the nail mill addition. Ralph Leete
telephoned Johnny Clark yesterday that
the boys were fishing on his (Clark's) lot.
and although boards had been put up
and they had been repeatedly warned
away, they still kept on trespassing.'
The inference was that Johnny's lots
were under water-but he really got
splended sites. Owen Davis, who for
merly owned the entire place, came near
getting the old home back again in the
drawing :. -. In speaking last week of
the Wellston ladies who had extended
such kindness to the Jackson visitors,
the Rname of Mrs. r. w. Goddard was
omitted by mistake. This good lady was
especially kind and attentive in bestow-
ing the hospitality of the city and the
Jackson folksare loud in her praise. .....
show that the place is rapidly growing.
The whole front of the Downey building
is newly painted.
FRIDAY.-Tillman Culp. an old citizen
of Scioto Township, died to-day, of some
peculiar kind of fever, the same that end
ed the life of John S. Beatty. Mr.. and
Mrs. Karn both died of this ailment,
Frank Alberts son came near dying, and
there are many others of whom we have
heard that narrowly escaped death. 1t
seems to be peculiar ailment, and about
as dangerous rs peculiar. So. Mrs. Evan
Evans of Franklin Township, is reported
quite sick. -. A little child of Mrs. John
Kelley, living in Mrs. D. L. Mackley's
house. died this morning. This family is
in a peculiarly sad situation. Dial.
Mercer is reported quite sick.... Some
on the nail mill grounds this afternoon.
The prize gun was not put up, as there
were not entries enough to pay for such
a prize. A few rounds were shot at clay
pigeons, John S. Wilson, Of Coalton be-
ing the best marksman on the ground.
The shooting was conducted upon the
nail mill lots, and the boys had the joke
on DIR. Morgan. The Doctor drew a lot
down near Salt Creek, and its principal
beauty consists in a pool of muddy water
and innamerable rushes. When theguns
got hot the boys would go down to Nor
gan's lot and lay the barrels in the pond,
to cool them.
SATURDAY.-James G. Cadot, of Scioto
County, is here to-day. He is in better
health than when here before. Coal
Township came down on the Devils
business about right to-day. The Town
ship declared by majority of 102 that it
will have no doggeries. Good for Coal
Township. All that Lick Township
lacks of equally righteous work, is the
right to vote in the part of the corpora
tion of Jackson. Out it would go, and
in a. hurry, too. .........J. E. Price went
to Columbus on business to-day. The
Hibernians received their new silk
banner to-day. 1t is beauty, costing
over seventy dollars. -. An old citizen
told, this evening, an amusing anecdote
of the Morgan Raid in.this community:
He and another man were coming to
town when they discovered that MOrgan's
men were already in town. AT about
the same time they discovered two men
riding, one on bay horse, the other on
a gray. On coming out into the road,
they discovered some of Morgan's men,
when they turned and put their horses
to their best metal. The Johnnies
pursued, but the farm-horses out
distanced them. The bay could not
keep up, but both managed to escape
The rider of the gray would whip up, lie
down on the animars neck, while the
bullets were flying, and shout: "Come on
Adamp The rider of the gray horse was
the late George Scurlock, the other the
late Adam Lackey.
