Col. Morrow at his age is as spry of foot as a boy in his teens; although over 70 he enjoys good health except a very bad sprain received in the service of his country just after the battle of Perryville, which has kept him-from a life of activity. The friends collected together on Friday morning and repaired to Mr. Morrow's orchard, which would have been very pleasant had the sun shone on us, but owing to the rain we gathered up our baskets and congregated in the school house, where, it being noontime, all the deiicacies of the season were spread, and from which all did ample justice, for the truth of which I refer you to REV. J. M. BRAY, who honored us with his presence. After the conclusion of this part of the program, Rev. Bray made a few remarks reciting many interesting events*in connection with the parents of their assembled family. He was a firm friend of the family from boyhood's days, and he felt as though he were almost a boy again while conversing with the older ones. Next, an essay prespared by CAPT. J. M. MORROW was read, and a fine eold chain and charm presented to Col. Morrow as a tribute to the love and respect in which he is held by his friends. This event brought tears to the eyes of many present, feeling as they did that they would never all meet together again. There were fifty-three immediate relatives present, who formed a group in a picture to be handed down from generation to generation, after the older ones age gone. The eleven brothers and sisters formed another group which will ever be'a momento to a most pleasant occasion.

A Steubenville Boy

The New York Clothing Gazette. . . . has a portrait of T. G. ATKINSON whom everybody in this region knows, from which we take the following:

MR. ATKINSON never started in business life with the intention of becoming a salesman, . . . as he grew he found his proper sphere, the sphere that nature had liberally equipped him to occupy. It was in 1879, at Steubenville, O., that THOMAS ATKINSON engaged in the retail hat business. ISAAC N. HEIDELBERG. . . being impressed with the intelligence and business capacity of that gentleman, invited him to discard his local interests in exchange for the grip of Bierman, Heidelberg & Co. Mr. Atkinson seized the opportunity and before a twelve month has passed, he ranked high in the estimation of his house and his customers. It is twelve years since that occurred and today the subject of this sketch stands in the front rank. 5

THOMAS G. ATKINSON was born in Steubenville, Ohio on September 27, 1848. His education was that usually accorded the county youth of the period.

The following about BAZALEEL WELLS, the founder of Steubenville and Canton, we take from the Canton Democrat. In it is a suggestion for Steubenville. Today the name of this illustrious man is commemorated only by a miserable little alley called Wells Street.

His father, belonging to the more wealthy class, gave him a liberal education. He studied law and was admitted to the bar, but finding much in the practice that was repugnant to his feelings, he abandoned the profession, removed to

West Virginia and engaged in the purchase and sale of government lands. He became much interested in the development of the country, and in 1797, in connection with JAMES ROSS of Pittsburg, laid out Steubenville and became a citizen of the territory of Ohio. In 1802 he was chosen a delegate to the convention called to frame a constitution for the new State of Ohio. He was a popular and influential member of that body and contributed much toward drafting the organic law of our State. On the establishment of a land office in Steubenville Mr. Wells entered large tracts of land that afterwards became a part of Stark County.

Prompted by a spirit of enterprise, he established a woolen factory in Steubenville, being the frist west of the mountains, and in partnership with WILLIAM DICKENSON, and Englishman, imported the first merino sheep into this country. From this importation came all the fine merino sheep exhibited at the Stark County Fairs. In 1814 he was awarded a silver medal by the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, as a "reward of skill and ingenuity" for a piece of broadcloth exhibited at the fair.

He also started an establishment for the manufacture of copperas, which for a time was quite prosperous. As an evidence of his popularity at home, it may be mentioned that the first steamboat built at Steubenville was nAmed "Bezaleel Wlls."

As emigration from the Fast increased, and the prospects of a new county became encouraging, Mr. Wells turned his attention to the location of a county seat. . . He selected a site lying between the East and West branches of Nimishilla. Incredible as it may appear to our people at the present day, at the time the Nimishilla was looked upon as a navigable stream. Vessels were afterwards loaded at North Industry with pork, flour and whiskey for the New Orleans market. . . Canton was located in the Fall of 1805. . . Mr. Wells encountered (difficulties) in his efforts to get Canton started. In April 1806, there was a public sale of land at auction. . . The sale was not a success. Lots were not in demand. . . Two sites for the county seat had already been located. . . The friends of these two places were active in decrying Canton.

The mainspring of his (Wells') influence was that he was a man among mon. Of commanding, presence, yet with an address that made his hearers feel at ecase---an unexceptionable character for honesty and fair dealing. . . It is not generally known that in addition to the several squares given for public use he donated over 170 single lots, located in different parts of the town, the proceeds of which were appropriated for improvements.

And now I cAme to the special object of this communication. There is due from the city of Canton to the memory of Bezaleel Wells, a proper recognition of the service he rendered. . . The proposition is to change the name of Market Street to Wells Avenue.

ELIZABETH MAGDALENE, wife of A. M. HAGAN, died Friday morning at her,home, corner of High and Market Streets. She has been sick for nearly a year and her death, while no unexpected, comes as a sad blow to her family and friends. She was the daughter of CASPER and SOPHIA STANDLEY and was born in Steubenville December 15, 1841, thus being in her 50th year at the time of her death. She was married to MR. HAGAN, November 26, 1861, and four children were the result of this union: CASPER S. of Ogden, Utah; ANDREW S. of Pittsburg; JAMES E. and CARRIE A. at home. Her mother and one brother, JOSEPH E. STANDLEY, the only one of seven children, survive her. They are both residents of Denver. Mrs. Hagan was a life-long member of St. Peter's Catholic Church. LOCAL JOTTINGS
