GOOD OLD DAYS. RECALLED
csntury-oId ledger Unsarthsd In
Marietta, o., Makes Some Rather
Interesting Reading.

Marietta, o., in 1907 paid S4090i
FOR the maintenance Of the govern
ment according TO a ledger just
brought to light from It's hiding place
Of many years.
December %, 1907. was the date Of
the first entry In the hook. Six years
later Ohio became a state.
The county at that time was three
times as large as it is today, The tax
duplicate showed total of Sl,3l0. In
the territory allotted to Washington
county in 1907 were the towns Of
Marietta, GaIllpolis, Middleton. Adams
Waterford, Salem aud Bellepree now
Belpre.
Six collectors were appointed. with
headquarters in Marietta. and these
men made their rounds in the wild
land at the risk Of their lives for a
wage Of 1856. Indians surrounded the
county, and in some instances the vii
lagos, so the tax collector was often
lucky to return "body whole"
In 1T9S. according TO the ledger, the
district was divided into nine sections
instead of six. and nine collectors
were chosen. Names of the men are
given and their places of residence.
The commission chose a board Of
three members and named chairman
In that year.
Meetings were held at the home of
Joseph G. Lincoln, Revolutionary
war hero. and a member OF the original
Ohio company which settled in Mari
eta, the first town In Northwest ter
rltory.
Judges received Is cents q day
whenever they worked on the bench,
the ledger records show. There we're
quarterly sessions ana a judge far
each session. Six cents n mile was
paid judge for each mile travelled,
The foreman OF the grand jury re.
ceiyed 60 cents day and the jurymen
30 cents and 3 cents a mile for travel
to and from court.
Disbursements for advertising In
Atlantic coast and New England town
papers are mentioned in the ledger,
showing advertising was a necessity in
that day.
