Hanging Rock Iron Region Centennial.

The counties in the region have had
committees for Centennial purposes or
ganized for some time past, which are
very enthusiastic in their work. A gen.
eral meeting of the Kentucky commit
tees was held at Ashland, August 9th. at
which were represented portions of Ohio.
1t was then decided to appoint delegates
from each county to meet at Portsmouth;
August 18th, who were to constitute the
General Centennial Committee for the
region.
The purpose of the meeting was to de-
termine some general plan of action, by
which the whole region would be govern
ed. At the time appointed there were
present Mr.. John Russell, of Boyd Co.. !;
Mr.. II. W. Bates and Mr.. K B. Grain
for Greenup, Carter and Lawrence coun-
ties, KY; Messrs. Addy and Smith, COM
mission merchants, from Cincinnati; /;
Messrs. Jones and Davis, of Jackson
county; Mr.. Damarin and Colonel Bolles,
of Scioto county; DR.. Norton, of Gallia
county; Mr.. George Williams, of Scioto
Furnace, and Mr.. Charles Campbell, of
Lawrence county, Ohio.
The meeting was held at the Office of
the Union Iron Co., with Mr.. John Rus
sell as Chairman, and Mr.. Charles Camp
bell as Secretary.
The committee spent some time in a
general discussion of the proposed erpose
and the sentiments, as expressed. were
unanimous for united display at Phil
adelphia in 1876, and, as far as practical
BILE, to assist at the preliminary display
at the Cincinnati Exposition in 1875.
The Cincinnati commission men were
authorized to procure the necessary space
at Philadelphia, with the understanding
that the region is to have distinct and
separate space allotted to it, in which
each county will present its individuali-
ty. The chairman and secretary of the
committee were authorized to prepare a
circular for general distribution by the
county committees. This will embrace
the general plan for the collection of ma
terial for exposition, which will include
just what is expected from the different
iron firms, fire brick manufactures and
coal mines of the region. Also state
ment of the expenses which will be in
Cured and the necessary amount to be
contributed.
A pamphlet containing history of the
region, discussion of the iron and geol-
ogy, together with statistical tables and
maps, is to be compiled after a manner
that the circular will indicate.
On motion, the General Committee for
the Region, as above named, was made
the permanent one, to continue for the
future.
