initiates boss Tweed, ana asks, w nat
are you intelligent men of the North
going to do about it,? Maine an
swers. California answers. Ohio
answers. Newly ork will answer, so
that Mr. Hill himself will hear and
understand. The intelligent men of
the North are going to vote down the
unforgetting and impenitent rebel
element, this year and every year, as
long as it continues to insult the 10y
atty Of the Nation with its impudent.
assertion that rebellion is not crime.
They are going to take care that no
man of that sort, and no man who IS
favored by men of that sort, shall
ever sit in the chair of Washington.
They are going to endure in the bat
tie of ideas and ballots, just as they
whipped the South in arms by endur-
ance, to the end 1t may take one
year or one century, but the North is
going to take care that the Nation
shall never be surrendered to men who
think it no crime to make war against
the Union. Never by their votes will
the seat Of President Lincoln be dis
honored by a man who holds that re-
bellion is not crime. No doubt it
may take Mr.. Hill and his friends
long time to comprehend the fact.
But he will have new proof that it is
a fact, whenever he reads an election
return from a Northern State. The
sooner he and men of his opinions get
out of public life forever, and cease to
seek any authority whatever in Gov
ernment to which they are boastingly
and obstinately disloyal, the sooner
the South will have some part worth
having in the affairs of the Nation.
BURLINGTON, O., Oct. 81, 1879.
To the Editor of the Standard:
Since writing to you last, there
have been heavy rains above us. Ka-
nawha got start of Is feet, which
gave us feet here The large boats,
which have laid idle for some time,
commenced running; and the river
seemed almost alive with her floating
houses. Down this morning, Scioto
for Portsmouth.
Sunday, we buried Mrs. Julia Kim
ball nee Bagley. One of the old resi-
dents. She was 73 years of age, and
respected and loved by all who knew
her. Her husband died about eight
years ago. Three daughters are left
to mourn her loss. After the funeral
| took dinner with grandfather Kouns;
one among the oldest residents of the
county. Born in 1901, came to this
county in 1904. The old gentleman,
with the exception of occasional at
tacks of rheumatism, is hale and hear
ty, and has a good memory. He re-
lated several instances of earl Y life in
Ohio. In relating some of his expe-
rience, he spoke of the great quantity
of squirrels The young men made
up hunting party, fifteen on side;
they were to hunt one week, and the
party that killed the least number,
must pay for the dinner. At the end
of the week, the crowd brought in
5000 scalps. He said they often had
to chink and daub their corncribs, in
order to keep the little thieves out.
| add a brief history of this county,
taken from The History of Ohio, pub
lished in 1858, which may be of some
interest to the readers of the Standard.
Lawrence was organized March 1,
1916, and named after Capt. James
Lawrence, naval officer of the war of
1912. Most of the county consists of
high, abrupt hills, in which large
quantities of sand or free stone exist:
soil mostly clay. The county is rich
in minerals. Coal abounds in the
western part, while clay, suitable for
stone-ware, is found under the ore, in
the whole of the iron region. The
iron region is about eight miles wide. |
