The "old days." for the press

first organized into union, known
then as the Chicago Cylinder Press

From the beginning they en-
gagged intellectually in political
action.
MANY Of the unions leaders
played an active role in the es-
adjustment of LaFollette's lib
eral movement in 1920. Coincident-
ally, that, too, was known as the
Progressive Party.
And just few years later, the
pressmen took part in the ALL
inspired Labor Party of Cook
County, which ran John Fitzpat-
rick, late president of the Chicago
Federation of Labor, for mayor.

Noble county was organized by an
act of the Ohio state legislature on
March IL, 1851, the last of the 88
counties formed within the state,
and was named in honor of James
Noble, one of the first settlers of the
community of Sarahsville, where he
resided for many years. His name
had previously been given to Noble
township, of Morgan county, and
when Noble county was formed it
was used for the entire county.
The townships of Beaver, Wayne,
Seneca and Buffalo came from
Guernsey county; Marion, Stock,
and the greater part of Jefferson
came from Monroe county; Jackson,
Sharon, Noble, Olive, Brookfield and
two-fifths of Center came from
Morgan county, and small portion
of Jefferson from Washington coun-
ty. Thus at glance at the map of
the county will show the boundary
thereof to be very crooked. 1t has
in its boundary line thirty corners
and the interior has an area of about
400 square miles. Since its form
alton the county has been divided
between two state senatorial dis
tricts-the 9th, 14th and the 18th,
10Th, 9th, 28th, and it's entirely in
the 18th congressional district.
In the early days, Indians were
numerous, some friendly, others
savage. Lewis Wetzel, the famous
Indian hunter of his day, is credited
with having recaptured Rose, a
white girl, who had been carried
away by the Redskins The scene
of the rescue was point about five
miles east of where Summerfield
is now located. The early settlers
were greatly troubled by wolves
that committed depredations upon
their stock and frequently attacked
human beings. An old settler, whom
the writer we'll remember of, and
who died in 1879, at the age of SO,
caught in a trap a wolf that had
been preying upon his sheep. He
told a friend that he was so ex-
asperated that he flayed it alive out
of revenge.
The first county seat was located
at Sarahsville and in 1859, it was re-
moved to Caldwell, the county Of
fices being principally located at
In 1857 the village of Caldwell was
laid out and work on the erection
of the first building, that across
the alley from the present county
jail and occupied by the Home res
taurant, was commenced on the
Fourth of July of that year. With
an OK team, the late. Hon. Chris Nc
Kee, of near Belle Valley, arrived
before daybreak with the first load
of lumber for the structure. This
building was used as the county
courthouse-the room on the second
floor being used as the court room
until the regular court house, the
one that was dismantled several
years ago, could be erected.
The population of Noble county in
1860, 1880 and 1890 was around
$1,000; today it is only about three
fourths that number, due in main
to ravages of~~Wars, removals and
heavy falling off in the birth rate
