Description: A newspaper article of Jackson Community news, which reads,

"Jackson Items.

IMPROVEMENT. - Mr. James Vines is preparing to build a commodious store house on his lot. Mr. David Bierly has built a bar room, and is now conveniently prepared to dispense strong drink to the thirsty.

FAIR. - The fair held for the benefit of the Baptist minister, came off on the night of the 23rd of July. - There was a large crowd, who spent their money very liberally, and as the enterprise was conducted under the efficient management of Mrs. Emma Hayth and Mrs. S. F. Thrasher, it is fair to presume that the minister was correspondingly benefitted.

Mr. C. B. Finch to-day shipped to Mr. C. W. Tyree, of Hawk's Nest, W. Va., a new wagon complete. Mr. Finch is an excellent mechanic, and one of our best citizens, and well deserves the success that has attended him since living in the county.

Miss M. W. Thrasher has returned from Lowmoor, after an absence of a month, well pleased with her visit.

Obenshain & Co. have secured the services of Mr. Tom Wilson, as clerk and saleman [sic] in their store. His genial and polite manner is calculated to sustain custom.

Rev. C. A. Marks is engaged in a successful revival at Rose Hill, having had 6 or 8 conversations and many penitents.
