NO LET Up BY SILVER MEN.

In looking over documents in the
office of the state sinking fund COM
mission at Columbus the other day,
Secretary Malcom Jennings came
across an old compendium of the fed
eral census of 1910. 1t shows that
there were at that time three slaves
in Ohio. One was in Lawrence, one
in Morgan and one in Noble county.
1t has been frequently asserted that
there never were any slaves in this
state. This would seem to controvert
that. The slaves listed in this census
had probably been brought by their
owners from southern states on NOV
ing to Ohio.
