PERSONAL RECOLLECTI0Ns.
BY THE EDITOR.

In January, 1868, several editors met
at Portsmouth and organized the Ohio
Valley Editorial Union. Among them
was Walter c. Hood, then editor of the
Marietta Times. I had card of invita-
ton, but I was engaged as attorney in
lawsuit which was at that time on trial
and l could not attend. A meeting of
the Union was appointed to be held at
Ironton on the first Thursday in May,
1868. l was at that meeting, and met
several editors, some of them for the first
and last time. There was Moorehead of
the Gallipolis Dispatch, whom had never
seen, and who was very pleasant gen.
tleman. l became much attached to
him. He died shortly after that meeting.
At that meeting was the first time l
met Mr.. Bond, who a short time before
had bought the Chillicothe Gazette. We
came down to Portsmouth on the same
boat, and came up the railroad on the
same train. There was strong personal
friendship formed between u.s. l met him
several times afterwards He is now
dead
Walter c. Hood was at the Ironton
meeting. l had met him several times
before, and was well acquainted with
him. His health was quite poor at that
time, and he did not enjoy himself. This
meeting appointed Mr.. Hood and me to
prepare and read, at the next meeting,
to be held in Chillicothe, in May, 1869
"reminiscences of the press of Southern
Ohio. 1 was at the meeting at Chilli
cothe, but Mr.. Hood was not able to at
tend. At the ChilIicothe meeting, the
next meeting was fixed to be at Marietta
the first Thursday in May, 1870. There
first met o. B. Chapman, of the Pome-
roy Telegraph and several other promi-
nent editors Hood and Chapman both
had the most retentive memories of any
men L ever met. They were both great
lovers of genuine poetry, and had fine
judgment of poetry. They could recite
the finest pieces, almost by the hour
Hood had a favorite piece which he re-
cited for me several times, and he prom
ised to write it out and send it to me-
My recollection was that he did So and
that had published it in the .STAxDk-Z
