Ohio Soldiers Are Welcome in Montgomery. Buckeye
State Men Are Almost All Here.
Few Remaining Detachments Are
Expected to Arrive Before End of Week - Over 18,000 Men are Now
Quartered at Camp Sheridan - Montgomery People Extend Hearty
Welcome to Ohio Soldiers.
Practically the entire Ohio Division has arrived at
Camp Sheridan and will be the guests of Montgomery for the
winter months. The people of the city are glad to have the
Ohio men here. They stand ready and willing to do all in
their power to make the stay of the boys in khaki from the
Buckeye state pleasant.
MEN Feel At Home.
Since the first detachments of men
arrived at the camp, every effort has been made to have them
feel at home. Many of the Ohio men have never been in the
South before and are now for the first time experiencing
southern hospitality. From the impressions gained during
their stay in the city, many will form their only impressions of
the South and the Southern people.
ARE Among Friends
Realizing this, the people are
exerting themselves in every way to make these men from another
state, and in a strange environment feel that they are among
friends.
The welcome which has been given the various units as
they have arrived is now given to the entire division, and the
people of the city hope and believe that the Ohio men will find
their stay in the South pleasant, if it is in the power of the
local people to make it so.

A NEW OHIO COUNTY.
Proposition to Form One From Butler, Preble, Warren and
Montgomery.
Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.
MIDDLETOWN, Jan. 23, - Judging from the Franklin Argus,
January 15, we would say they have been caught in the "boom" in
regard to the forming of a new county, the territory to be taken
from Preble, Butler, Montgomery and Warren counties. The
proposition as stated is a fair one. This is the time to
agitate this matter, as Montgomery, Warren and Butler all need
new Court Houses. The petition will soon be circulated and
presented to the Legislature as soon as soon as possible.
Middletown is well located for the county seat. We have
two railroads running through the heart of our town, and also of
the territory mentioned, and there is no doubt that before many
years shall have passed another will be running to the northwest
along Twin Creek to Germantown and Union City, Ind., thence
northwest along the old mackinaw route. Then the thrift
and enterprise possessed by our citizens also are arguments in
our favor, why the capital should be located here.
Mrs. Cassady, an old resident of this township,
died Friday morning at 9 o'clock pneumonia, at the age of
sixty-eight. Mrs. Cassady was a sister of Mr.
James Sinky, who died on Friday, 16th. She remarked to
her brother just before he died that it would not be long before
she would follow him to his long home. |
