A LITTLE ANTE-BELLUM HISTORY.
An Official List Of Persons in Ohio County
Who Voted "For Ratification" of
the Ordinance Of Seces-
siOn," May 3, 1861.

We give below an official list OF the
voters for the Ordinance OF secession
i'm Ohio county in that historical epoch
when the old State of Virginia was
described as standing between the
Devil and the deep sea" 1t may be
that many who find their names in the
list have no other record OF the event,

a historical document it will read, per-
haps, not so well as the Declaration Of
independence, but much better than
