The people of Jacksonville are calcu- lating upon a grand time at the Red Men’s ball, on the 12th of May. Already some of the Ashland young folks are talking of going. A move has been made to establish an academy at Oakland, Douglas county, and nearly three thousand dollars has been subscribed for the erection of a suitable building. The entertainmont promised by Mrs. Nichols’ music elks* will be given on Fri day evening, April 16th. The chief de sign is to give a musical exhibition« but there will also be tableaux and othor at tractions, by way of variety, and the pro ceeds of the entertainment are to be ap* plied in paying for the organ now on the way for the Presbyterian church. A full programme Will appear the week pre ceding the entertainment. to THE PEOPLE OF ASHLAND: Thinking of engaging in the milk bus iness ih Ashland if the prospects are suf ficiently encouraging to warrant the ven ture, I would respectfully make the fol lowing proposition* to the people of Ash land: 1st, I propose to keep a dairy and serve milk regularly to the people of the town, at their doors, at such prices that it will be cheaper for familes to buy of me than to keep ooWs of their own, with all the attendant trouble and annoyance. 2d, I offer to buy the cows now kept in town, at a fair price, paying cash for them, on condition that those from whom th* cows are purcliased will give me their patronage thereafter. 3d, I propose to sell pure milk—no chalk and water and no watering without the chalk—and will guarantee satisfac tion a* to its quality. The cows I shall keep will be given good, clean feed, and will not be allowed to “browse” upon gar bage, slops and manure heaps, as many of the cows kept in town now do. The kind of food is well known to affect di rectly and strongly the quality of the milk, and cows feeding upon unclean food cannot yield pure, sweet milk. Within a short time I expect to call upon those interested and learn what they are willing to do in the matter. D ouglas GC m .
