Elyria in the Civil War Slow Action and Local Skirmishes
In early November 1861 Civil War activity near western Virginia focuses on guard duty around the Gauley River with Elyria units providing picket posts and sustaining no major clashes. A private complains about hospital thefts. Lt. John A. Pendergast arrives to recruit for the 43rd Regiment, and Walter F. Herrick from Wellington rises to lieutenant colonel and later brigadier general. In Guyandotte Union troops are kindly hosted yet a surprise rebel attack kills 10-12 and wounds 20-30, prompting retaliation and town-wide arson. Lorain Countians realize war has a sharper edge as a general is removed.

You are declarer in Seven Spades facing a diamond jack lead. Best line uses a club sweeping plan: discard a heart, club to the ace, ruff clubs high, spade to eight, ruff another club, spade to nine, trump clubs high, and enter dummy to trump. If clubs split 4-3 or singleton king, queen of clubs yields a trick. otherwise heart finesse remains a fallback.
