NOTES ON JACKSON COUNTY.
BY u. MACKLEY.

do not know when the first Welsh
men settled in this county, but it must
have been nearly sixty years ago. John
Evans, Evan Evans, Timothy Jones, Lew
is Davis, and others, settled near Centre
vile, in the southeastern portion Of Mad
ison township. 1t was then Gallia coun-
ty. The great stream of Welsh immi-
grants set in about the year 1885, and
continued for eight or ten years. There
was a good deal of Congress land then in
the townships of Madison. jefferson,
Hamilton, Franklin, and Bloomfield.
Those who owned land were disposed to
sell at low figure Most of the Welsh
had money, generally in sovereigns, or
the Englash pound sterling. These pass
ed among the people for five dollars
each, but at the land office they were
worth "a SAC.
Oak Hill was about the center of the
Welsh settlement, and from that point
it spread for several miles James Reed
then resided at Oak Hill, and he became
a kind of agent to sell lands to the Welsh
people. They used to tell some pretty
hard tales on Mr.. Reed For instance,
it was said he would take a Welshman
and show him tract of woodland, and
say he owned it, and would sell it for
three or four dollars per acre, get. the
money, and then go to Chillicothe and
enter the land, and pay dollar and a
quarter per acre for it out of the Welsh
mans gold, come home and make the
deed. These stories may not have been
true
The Welsh people who settled in the
woods had pretty hard time in build
ing, and cleaning up their lands, as they
were entirely ignorant of the use of the
ak, or in building log houses But they
were industrious and patient, and the
resident settlers were very willing to
aid such peaceable, quiet people
Having been used to the business,
took up the corner of many house and
log cabin for the Welsh, and assisted
them at many log rollings. Their strange
language, utterly unpronouncible by an
American, their habits, customs, dress,
&c, being so very different from those
who resided here, made it seem as though
the races could not soon affiliate
There were no churches, and the Sab
bath Schools and religious meetings
were for some years held at the cabin of
some Welsh settler. am not positive
when the little old log church was built
at Moriah, in Madison township, but the
first church, of hewed logs, was built at
Horeb, near the center of jefferson town
ship, in the summer of 1888 took up
one of the corners of that building.

The. following is from the Pomeroy
Telegraph. Chapman's head is generally
about right:
]. L. Vance is the Congressman from
the Gallia District. He is also editor of
Democratic paper at Gallipolis. One
of his main arguments for years, for the
overthrow of the Republican party. was
on account of the "nepotism" of Presi-
dent Grant, in appointing a half dozen
or SO of his relations to Office. Vance
has occupied columns in his paper and
howled himself hoarse, week in and week
out, about this nepotism of the despotic
Grant, and swore that the country was
rapidly going to ruin on account of it.
But as soon as Vance got elected to the
Office of Congressman, he went to work
to secure places for his relatives. He
appointed one cousin a cadet to West
Point; for another he secured a clerk
ship in Washington; another he called
printing expert" and set at work exam
lining the accounts of the Public Printer,
to try and find frauds, etc. Indeed il is
said that whenever he had chance to
give anybody job at the public expense.
he always put a relative at it. These
things by a man who has been crying
"nepotism' and making derogatory re-
marks about the "reigning family" are
very inconsistent and look decidedly
bad. If he had not engaged so exten-
sively in denunciation of the President
for the same things which he has been
doing himself, it is probable that nothing
would have been said about it; but it is
his utter inconsistency which attracts
attention. Vance is now waking the
echoes in his district with the cry of "re-
form and endeavoring to secure a re-
election. There lis now an excellent
chance for reform by electing in Vance's
place. Hon. III. s. Neal, the Republican
candidate, who is q much superior man
in every respect Vance should be re-
manded to that obscurity from which he
was so untimely elevated.

Our citizens will remember that few
years ago one Evan Williams, of Ironton,
came to this place pretending to make a
laboring mans speech, but he made a
ranting Republican speech. Last fall
he howled for Bill Allen, more money
and better times. Now he howls for Til
den and reform. Last week he was ar
rested and bound over to court
for attempting to commit rape. Hur-
rah for Tilden, Vance, all the Aleshires

which he sells very low for cash or good
country produce. He has been engaged
here selling goods for many years, and is
fully aware of what the people need.

w. H. Langley Of Gallipolis died last
week. For many years he was one of
the most energetic and honorable busi-
ness men of that place. A few years ago
he failed in business and made an assign

lis and Macarthur Railroad for some
years, and perhaps occupied that posi-
ton at the time of his death.

The Gallipolis Bulletin, Vance's paper,
said, few days ago that Vance was the

the time, intended as a joke, but it
would excite the risibles in a wooden
Indian to hear him utter the word IRE
form" He has recently reformed his
cousin. Jos. Aleshere, who resides at Gal
lipolis; not the young Aleshire he pro-
cured cadetship for, also his cousin !;

A drunken Irishman in Cincinnati,
named Frank Murray, has been lying
around drunk for several months, while
his poor weakly wife has been supporting
herself, two children. and her worthless
husband, by washing About half past
six o'clock one morning last week, Muir
ray got drunken than usual, and cut his
wife up in horrible manner. There was
one deep wound in her breast, and he
cut open the lower part of her abdomen
until the bowels gushed out Murray is
opposed to being "vexed by sumptuary
laws, as the Democratic party states it,
but then he is for Tilden and reform.

We denounce the present tariff, levied upon

of injustice, inequality, and false pretense. 1t

nue.. It has Impoverished many industries TO
subsidize a few. IL prohibits imports that
might purchase the products OF Amarican in

from the first to an inferior rank upon the high
seas IL has cut down the sales OF American
manufactures at home and abroad, and depict
ed the returns of American agriculture, an in

IL costs the people five times more than IL
produces to the Treasury, obstructs the process

IL promotes fraud, fosters smuggling, enriches
dishonest officials. and banSrupts honest mer-
chants. We demand that all custom House
