Samuel r. Nnton-was attorney
for the complainants. 1t will be un-
necessary for me to enter into any
statement as to who Mr. Vinton was,
for his name is familiar with every
body in the Congressional District of
which he was resident, as he was
member of Congress upwards of twenty
years.
In the marriage notices l find that
editors of that day got married as well
as now days. l will quote:
MARRrED-In Marietta, Mr.. Josiah
Heard, late editor of the Muskingum
Messenger, to Miss Sarah Goodwin, of.
the former place.
"Also, I'm Mason County, Va, by
the Rev. Mr. Gould, Mr.. John Brown

The parties in the above notices I
have no knowledge of.

| will give his statement in full as there
may be descendants of the parties now
living who may see your paper con-
tanning this. and it may be gratiica-
ton to them:

The most of the reading matter of
the Gazette" before me relates to the
meeting of the Legislature of Massa-
chusetts,--some two or three columns
are taken up with it. The "Sea Ser
pant" seen off Cohasset Rocks, occu-
pies some two columns. 1t seems that
the Southern people disbelieved the
statements and to make good the East
ern stories relative to his "Snakeship,"
they come back at them with sacora
statements; hence the Parody on Ca
to's Soliloquy I spoke of in my former
communication as having been spoken
at an exhibition Of the Gallia Academy,
sometime in November, 1919.
Mr.. Editor, I have dissected this
number of the "Gallia Gazette" COM
pletely, and with the exception of one
or two minor things, (and which will
not be of interest to any one, J l have
given you its substance, and if it will
prove interesting reading to your cltl-
izens, I have accomplished my Pur-
nose G. D H.
