The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1876-01-28

During a recent casual visit to our
sanctum, Col. Joseph Kelley dropped a
number of remarks which, in justice to
him, we should say were in the nature
of aphorisms, bearing principally upon
affairs of local import, though some
encompassed much that is broad, far.
reaching, and even national in extent.
We were deeply impressed with the
felicitous manner in which he exhibited
a familiarity with axioms that do most
Immediately concern us as people,
Equally conversant with all sides of the
more prominent questions before the
whether they affect us merely
az local issues, or enter into our consid-
erations as matters claiming attention
by virtne of their importance to the
general veal, he discusses them from a
stand point peculiarly his own, and in II
style that is at once mastery and forcihle.
He never indulges in the anne. uninter-
esting and proftless exercise of repeat
ing the miserable platitudes of FIRE side
dullards. but has recourse to his own
brain which is stored with ideas and
conclusions wholly indigenous. az it
we're, TO itself. and ready for service at
the masters bidding. He deplored the
seemingly irreconcilahle difference of
0pinion which exists amongst our peo-
pie upon every question that comes he
fore them, and thonght that to this
may be appropriately attributed our
loss of the county seat, &c. He said
that as far back as he conld remember,
it has been "Turkey foot agin Pig foot,
and Pig-foot agin Turkey foot; one pull
ing gee, and the other pulling haw, and
no two pulling in the same direction"
The reader may be curious to know what
it was that occasioned Joseph to thus
bewail these stubborn facts. 1t came
about incidentally; he called to talk
with us concerning the School Board
rumpus, and express his view concern
ing it. In conclusion, we may add that
he placed himself on record as favora-
BILE to the schools on general principles,
but in fat-footed opposition to the ex-
penditure of any portion of the school
fund to "sustain and perpetuate the fol-
ly of teaching goose latin" At this
juncture the curtain was "rung down."
