Some of our citizens have been talking
of an effort being made TO secure the new
insane asylum that is TO be located in
Eastern Ohio. The institution will be a
big affair, and in addition TO the large
sum which will be expended in its erection,
there will be a constant expenditure for
supplies. The object is worth big effort
on the part of our people just now, and a
very big effort will have TO be made to
stand any show of securing its location
here. The Commission will meet at
Columbus June 1st to receive propositions
in regard TO sites, and If Bellaire really de-
sires the new asylum now is the time to be-
gin to pull for it.
A good story is told on one OF our old res

the planks broke and the old gentleman
was precipitated into the swamp waist
deep. He had to call for assistance TO be
dragged ashore.
