men become that number were put of
between this point and Oak Hill. Thur
low is a good one. Mrs. Nealy, Of
Centreville, called to-day. The at
tendance at the Institute thus far has not
been as large, as could be desired.
THURSDAY. = Most miserably and
frightfully cold ID. G. Lloyd. OF
Thurman called. DR.. Kitchen and
T. M. Varley went to Columbus. w.
w. Davis, of Rempel, called and sub
sscribed for the Standard. -. Prof. d. j.
Evans and wife, of Athens, arrived to-
day y...-..A good crowd greeted John 7.
Moore Esq. at the Rink tonight, and
were well entertained, with one of Mr..
Moore's best lectures, and he he has some
good ones. The interest in the Institute
is increasing, the cold weather doubtless
keeping the attendance down heretofore.
Mr.. and Mrs. Eli Aten attended
the funeral of their late niece, Miss Hell
phenstine, in Portsmouth, returning yes
terday ......In his address tonight, Mr..
Moore spoke of the great tenderness with
which old soldiers spoke of the coffee
they enjoyed during the war; And this
tenderness comes of a realization of the
vast benefit derived from the strengthen
ing fluid. Unless our memory fails us
sadly; the soldiers had, as general thing,
a pretty good article of grain coffee. At
least it made up well, and that fact con-
sidering that other fact that the coffee
mill was generally club, or the 'poll" of
Ratchet, speaks well for the quality of
the coffee. We agree fully with Mr..
Moore that coffee is not only pleasant.
but strengthening and generally bene-
fetal to most people.
FRIDAY.-John E. Jenkins, Oak Hill,
called to-day ...... Hugh E. Schellenger,
little son of George Schellenger, adds his
name to the Standards list. The boy is
certainly starting right. .....At the Rink
tonight there was a large crowd. The
program was thought to be short, yet was
late when the exercises-or rather the ex-
ercise, closed, for the greater part of the
evening was taken up with the excellent
address of Prof. Evans, of Athens.
One of the pleasant and to us decidedly
the t'pleasant-w the singing by the
choir of the Jackson High School, COM
posed of the following persons Misses
Cora Miller and BERTHE Claar, soprano;
Misses Josie Dyer and Lulu Summers,
alto; Mendell Jones and Merch Swanson
Swanson, bass; George Edmonds and
Dan. b. Jones, tenor. The solo singing
by Miss Cora Miller was decidedly pretty
With rich, clear voice, Miss Miller was
just enough excited to give childish
sweetness to her tone. The choir all sang
well. Miss Mary Anna Jones sang a
pretty solo, accompanied by the piano and
violin. 1t is not necessary to attempt to
criticise OF praise this lady's singing in
this comm unity. All know the Ioveliness
of her voice. The reading by Miss Hattie
Moore was a pleasant feature of the even
ing. Miss. Ida Jones recited poem.
Miss Jones is a fine elocutionist. -.
John r. Rathburn, of Wellston, is here
tonight. When the accompaniment
was being played for a song at the Rink
this evening, a young man standing near
the door began to vigorously kick the
floor, the thumpings increasing in speed
and vigor as the music went on. His
time was something like that of mule
with one leg fastened in the halter. He
was an innocent looking young fellow,
and the dab of hair on his forehead, plas-
tered firmly in its place by copious sup
plies of "b'ar's grease" is doubtless the
pride of a good mother who had often
twined it in beautiful ringlets, and per-
haps the young man is the idol of some
red-cheeked sweetheart. He may be a
fellow of noble impulse. But when that
fiddle" started up he could no more keep
his feet still than he could fly. They
were his own feet; they possessed vigor;
they were big enough to go; so he just
let them go, and the crowd enjoyed it,
too.
SATURDAY.-A tremendous sleet this
morning made things excessively dis
agreeable, but followed by a steady,
heavy rain, lasting far into the night:
There were number of falls upon the
icy streets. Mr.. Isaac Brown being con-
siderably injured by fall. Some
scaffolding broke at the new Presbyterian
Church this forenoon, causing the fall of
some of the workmen. Mr.. Abe Rice
was considerably bruised. :. Bill Watson
doubled himself up in the middle and
tried to punch hole in the ground on
Broadway, Tonight. We were much
disappointed at our inability to attend
the Reunion of the Franklin Historical
Society, at the residence of Mr.. Moore
this evening. The young men were kind
enough to send bus around to the homes
of invited guests. These young folks
never do things by halves. Their meetings
are always enjoyable, and besides, there
is no more pleasant family in the
community than that of Mr.. Moore. Had
it been possible, we should have delighted
to be there. The young folks will please
accept our thanks, and our earnest
wishes for the success of their organiza-
tion. "A citizen from the country told
a good one tonight regarding gentle
man aspiring to be preacher, not many
miles from jackson: At a Christmas
