A Little Ohio Town.

Very few of us ever heard Of the
town of Lisbon. Ohio, which is men
toned in a stray paragraph in the news
columns as about to celebrate it's CEN
tennial. and yet few small towns in the
country outside of some along the At
lantic seaboard, with colonial and
Revolutionary memories, has so many
claims to fame. 1t Is little place Oh
about 5000 inha bitants, nestled among
the foothills of southeastern Ohio, but
as towns go west of the Alleganies 1t
is one of the Oldest and it's centennial is
calling deserved attention to it. Lis
bon lost its chance of being
metropolis when the railroad skipped
it. 60 years ago. 1t had a new canal
then and didn't care for the railroad
anyway, but the canal has not been
used for half a century.
Lisbon's claim to fame is mainly in
the great Americans it has bred. 1t was
the birthplace and home of the famous
MCSOOhS. L wv pIOShSiS .,
John and Daniel McCook, sent, the one
of them five sons, the other ten, into
the armies of the Union-"the tribe of
John" and 1.-The tribe of Dan" they
were called. The fighting blood of
these Scotch-Irish boys brought them
swiftly to the front. Three of them
became heterogeneous and four
acknowledgements. One was naval
commander, another colonel, third
a chaplain, while the elder McCooks
themselves entered the service, the
one as a surgeon, the other as major
Morgan's raiders. The McCooks have
also furnished two territorial COVER
nors. a gubernatorial candidate, col
lege professor, distinguished clergy
man and an American minister. 1t is
a great family record, perhaps uneX-
ampled anywhere, even in Maine.
In Lisbon lived President Mckinley's
father and mother, and by coin
dence it was also the birthplace of
Senator Hanna. Stanton, the famous
secretary of war. used to practice law
in Lisbon and the town was the home
OF Vallandigham the great peace-at-
any-price Democrat of ga When it
comes to events rather than men, it
NAV be mentioned that Lisbon was the
final scene of the northern dash of
Morgan, the guerrilla leader. His raid
ended there and his sword was sur
rendered to a citizen of the town.

It is rail bird weather just now and

the best race days that has been known

The present outlook is that every race

surprises too for it is not at all certain
that all the horses which should start
are on the ground or even promised.
