From The Marietta Weekly Leader, August 3, 1886:
- Our county surveyor has been at home for two weeks picking blackberries.
- Little Hocking got on another high last Monday evening.
- Daniel Brown left his wife and children on the Fourth of July and nothing is known of his whereabouts. Two of his children were taken to the Children's Home last week.
- Pearl Nutt of Marietta is in this neighborhood with his saw mill. He is sawing for Neil McKay at present. Pearl is a hustler.
- Misses Hannah Seely and Lily Hayes of Barlow spent last week with Mrs. L. C. Hayes. During their sojourn here the rite of baptism by pouring was administered to them.
- J. J. Hollister, Esq., is erecting a fine residence. Jay is a bachelor and it is currently reported that he is about to follow the example of Stephen Grover.
- The colored people of this place held their annual Sunday School picnic July 24th in Barnett's grove, which was well attended. Several addresses were delivered. Gov. Aaron F. Mayle of Grove City, the modern Demosthenes, was one of the speakers. The audience seemed spellbound under his powerful flights of oratory. The colored brass band of this vicinity discoursed find music for the occasion.
- Your correspondent's letters are highly appreciated in the west end of the county, where he is well and favorable known. Clodhopper's articles are always interesting. His article in last week's Leader was heartily endorsed.
- It begins to look now as if Murat Halstead and some other newspaper men had said a little too much about H. B. Payne.
