Agent for the celebrated Haskell's New
Farmers Railroad and County Map of
the United States. Its many merits
and great superiority above all others
need no commendation here. Suffice to
say, that the liberal patronage which he
has received from the citizens of Gallia
county, alone, fully demonstrates the
above facts. As there are some who
have not procured copy of the Map, he
proposes to give it as premium to sub
scribers to the Cincinnati Weekly Times,
which is 50 90 per year, single subscrip-
tion, and the GALLIPoLIs JOURNAL, at
the following rates: Cincinnati Times
and Hand Book, one year, post paid and
Map, for SO 90; and JOURNAL, post paid,
and Map, for So 90. Map delivered i'm
Gallipolis, or sent to any address for
Scots. extra to pay postage on it. He
will send any other paper with the Map
at corresponding rates. Persons want
ing the Map alone can procure it of him
at Gallipolis for 81 so, or sent to any adj
dress for 80 cts. extra to pay postage.
A Club of five to either paper will en-
title the getter up to an extra Map.

Our readers will remember that ar
individual bearing the above name

for four years from this county, nm
der the name of John SMITH," foi
passing q forged check on the First
National Bank ofso city. Further
information is at hand concerning
JOHN. 1t seems that he is no novice
at the business. He is badly wanted
in Missouri, and neither Moody's
sermons or Sankey's songs will save
him from the penitentiary in that
State when his time is up here. c.
NJ. HoLcoMB, ESQ.,, is in receipt of
the following letter from GEO. B.

DEAR SIR:-I am glad to learn
from your postal card of the 2Sth
ult., that JOHN Fulton BROWN, alids
sJoHN SMITH" goes up for four years.
At the expiration of that time we
propose to take lrim as ''our man." by
requisition, charging him with forg-
ing and passing check on this
bank, in February, 1871, for $105.
In the winter of 1901 he worked
for Mr.. John J. Arnold, an esteemed
farmer and feeder of stock in this
county, who kept watchful and sus
picious eye over him. He was known
here as JoHN Fulton BRowN. and
BY the Rev. N. NJ. Long

Ohio, to be son of well known
Methodist minister in Ohio. When
| read your description of him to Mr..
he said it was complete, and
when 1 stated that the check on
your bank was filled up to J. p.
Blair, he said Brown told him fire
luently that his mother was first
cousin to General Frank P. Blair, of
this State.
When he committed the forgery
here he was out of employment, but
rery soon after he started to Texas
With two of our stock dealers. On the
discovery of the forgery we obtained
on the Governor of Texas,
,ut fearing it would cost us considera
lie money and then fail to secure

THE Insurance law of Ohio prohibits
companies of other States from doing
business i'm our State, unless certain re-
ouirements of said law are first complied
with. a number of bogus fire insur-
ance companies have recently sprang
up in West Va, located at Wheeling,
Parkersburg and Huntington, who have
by circulars sent to agents of the COM
panies doing business in Ohio, and Of
fering higher commission on reduced
rates, secured i'm Southern Ohio a large
amount of premiums. A recent case at
Eaton. o., shows up the whole swindle.
The facts are as follows:
Chambers and Robinson, firm in
Eaton, desiring cheap insurance on their
planning mill, found an agent in Hamil-
ton, o by name of F.-B. Lands, who
furnished them policies i'm the Citizens
Fire and Marine and two other Wheel
ing companies, the policies being issued
at the home offices on applications for
warded by Mr.. Landis.
A fire subsequently, destroyed the
property insured, and on making their
claim for loss were gravely informed by
the companies in Wheeling that they
were not doing business in Ohio, had no
agents there or in any shape complied
with the laws of the State, and there
fore not liable under their policies.
Chambers & Robinson, to their sur
prise, found it to be "just so," and one
day last week concluded to arrest Mr..
Lands, which they did, and took him
to Eaton, where he was held to bail for
trial, at the next term of the court.
1t is due to Mr.. Landis to say that he
holds the receipt of the Citizens Fire C
Marine Ins. Co. for $20s premium on
Chambers & Robinson's planning mill
risk in question.
We advert to this swindle by way of
calling the attention of our citizens to
the risk they run i'm having anything to
do with this class of companies. Many
of our agents have received circulars
from these West Va. Co.'s, and probably
many farmers and property holders
also, whose anxiety for cheap insurance
may have induced them to invest in the
worthless concerns. We shall note the
result of this novel case. At present,
the money paid for the policies seems to
be in hands of the Citizens F. & NJ. ms.
Co., less the commission retained by Mr..
Landis, all of which will be required to
relieve him from the case,

WE have received a communica-
ton criticising in a severe manner
the action of the County Commits
sioners in regard to the alteration of
the river road above town. 1t is
written by a prominent and response
BILE citizen, and under ordinary cir
cumstances his favors would receive
the publicity which our columns af-
ford, but in this case we judge it the
best for all concerned that we with
hold the article from publication.
1t was written under excitement, and
is somewhat too personal in its stric-
lures. The people of Addison and
Cheshire have deep interest in the
proposed alteration, and it is not a
matter of wonderment that they
should feel a keen disappointment in
its non establishment.
