SHERIFF. HAS. LETTER
WRITTEN IN YEAR 1904

Sheriff Newton while going
through the papers of his brother
Mr.. Jasper Newton who died last
week near Stockport, found letter
which for age and state of preserva-
ton we doubt could be equaled in
the county. 1t was written under
date of March 81, 1904, by Gideon
Stacey, brother of Sheriff New
tons great grandmother, to the
sheriff's great grandfather Sylvanus
Newton who at that time resided al
the block house at Marietta. Here
some very interesting and valuable
history comes in. Sylvanus Newton
and wife came to Marietta on horse
back from Massachusetts, and lived
in Marietta several years White
living in the block house a son was
born, Gideon Newton, in the year
1904. This son, Sheriff Newton s
grandfather, is supposed to be the
first white male child born in the
state of Ohio.
This letter referred to was writ
ten in good hand, and both ink
and paper are in good state of pres
ervation. No envelope was used
the letter being simply folded and
the corners sealed, and address writ
ten on the back of the fold. While
many old letters and documents
have been shown us, this letter an
tedates anything of the sort ever
brought to us.

WAGON COMPANY MAKES FINE
SHOWING WITH STRONG TEAM

Wagon Co., 1874. basketeers open
ed their season Friday night here
before a large crowd in the armory,
and judging from the manner in
which they played, they are going
to make a name for themselves
again this season. They were stack
ed up against the exceptionally
strong team the Athens Collegiates.
The score was 2S to II in favor of
the visiting team. However Wagon
Co. was handicapped in not having
in their lineup their star forward,
Whiting, who at the last minute
could not be present because of
sickness in his family. The game
started off with Bingham getting
the batoff. He also registered the
first basket. From that time on till
the close of the first half, the score
was very even, twice being tied, and
the first half ended a tie-10 all.
In the second half the home team
Eslowed down, due to the fact that
since it was their first game of the
season, their endurance weakened.
Their opponents had played several
games this season, and some of their
players had been on the football
team, so were in the best of condi-
ton. The game throughout was
very fast.
