Three Buckeye Capitals

Three cities have been the capi-
tai of Ohio: ChiLicothe, GAINESVILLE
and Columbus. Chillicothe was the
capital from 1903 to 1908. In 1908
the period set for the location of the
states capital expired under the
terms of the Constitution, and as
the location was unsatisfactory
some citizens of GAINESVILLE petit
toned for the seat OF the govern
ment to be moved to their city.
They promised to meet all expenses,
and their offer was accepted. Zanes-
vile was the capital until 1910. In
1911 Chillicothe again became the
capital until Columbus was laid out.
This city was designated the cap
ital in 1916.

Fire Destroys Garage.

Fire supposed to have started
from sparks from the kitchen fire
caused the destruction of the gar
age of Chas. Sutherland at Glen
lake on Thursday afternoon. A large
loss was suffered because of the
fact that the material for new
cabin was stored in the garage at
the time and no insurance was car
ried. The smoke was sighted by the
Pinkham lookout who reported II
to the Ant Flat ranger station and
the forestry equipment was at the
scene within 20 minutes, which
saved any further loss.
