Monday morning. The minors were: Smith Doughty, Harold May, Fred Brown and Marfield King. The case was brought here on a
change of venue from Merton Grills, justice of the peace at Hagerstown. The Hagerstown council recently

Did Not Feature Local, Foreign News in Early Papers in County In the Old Issues of Richmond and Centerville Papers Local Happenings Were Carried Mostly in the Form of Advertisements.
A hundred years ago, when the weekly paper came, Mrs. Smith could not call out to her dear spouse, "Do see if the paper says where Mrs. Jones went last week!" Mr. Smith might have been able to report that Jonathan Townsend and Daniel Clark, as executors, were to sell the estate of Robert Bratton, as did the Public Ledger of Richmond, Oct. 16, 1824, but he could not have given his wife any gossip. " In the old issues of the Richmond and Centerville papers of that day local news was carried mostly in the form of advertisements. When Samuel Fleming, commander of the 8th
Regiment of Indiana Militia, wanted to report a drill he had to pay advertising rates for his notice, which the Western Emporium at Centerville published June 11, 1825 as follows: "Regimental Order. The enrolled inhabitants residing within the bounds of the Eighth Regiment, Indiana Militia, are hereby notified to attend the
on the frontier were much alarmed In consequence of threats made by the Indians, and. many were actually abandoning their homes." Perhaps if such news called for but brief mention, the editor did consider the comings and goings of the individuals of the county of little interest. Foreign news, however, received as scant attention. In the Indiana Register, published at Vevay, the number for July 16, 1824, had this piece of news: , "LORD BYRON DEAD.
"It is with the most painful feelings
may possibly run, be called, and their consent in writing be obtained, giving the agents of the government full and free leave to carry the road through their lands, and take therefrom such materials, consisting of stone, clay, etc., as may be necessary in construction of the same.
"It is proper to mention that It is clear from the letter of the secretary
that the proper authorities do not consider the location of the road as having been permanently made; on the contrary, it is explicitly stated that of the several routs surveyed no one is entitled to any decided preference over another, and that the route will be selected on which the greatest facilities shall be granted on which the citizens show the greatest readiness in granting" land and materials in the construction of the road. The agent of the government was expected at St. Clairsville on the 1st inst." The continual reoccurrance of "it is reported," and "we are informed by a gentleman" suggests that while the

SEWER RESOLUTION PASSED BY BOARD
Adoption of a resolution to put in a sewer, on recommendation of the board of health, to be located in the first alley running east and west north of South E street was the chief business transacted by the board of works Monday morning. The sewer runs from the first east and west alley north of South E street

Emporium of the same date. ' "We are requested to state that SAMUEL HANNAH ABEL LOMOX HENRY HOOVER JOHN McLAIN and JOHN WHITEHEAD are willing to represent the citizens of this county in the next General Assembly, if elected.
"We are also requested to say that DANIEL REED will serve them as sheriff, if elected." Then, as now, murder news coula eet free publicity. John M'Afee was
hung at Dayton for the murder of his j
wife on the 25th or Marcn, 1825, ana the Western Emporium of June 11, 1825, gave over the first whole page and part of the second to a reprint of the confession of M'Afee, recounting all of the lurid details of the crime, of his subsequent actions in attempting to escape the country, and of his trial and conviction. The confession ended with a moral for the growing youth to stay away from such things. Trouble With Indians An advertisement in the Emporium for July 10, 1824, of $200 reward for the capture of Andrew Sawyer and John T. Bridge, accused of killing Indians, carried with It the news story that the men had broken jail in Madison county and fled. The news item
continued: "We are informed by a gentleman from Henry county that Sawyer was apprehended on Tuesday evening last, a short distance from Newcastle and lodged in jail at that place. He has

Land Worth $1.25 An Acre In 1812 Now Worth $200 The growth of a century was shown in the comparison of prices of Center township land during the dedication of the McKinney bungalow Wednesday by the War Mothers' organization. It was recalled that the same land on which the building stands north of Centerville was first bought by Mrs. McKinney's grandfather at S1.25 an
acre 110 years ago, in 1S12. An offer of $200 an acre was recently refused for this piece.
