The article covers the Moscow high school second commencement with four graduates, a detailed town union meeting in Goshen including officers and resolutions, obituaries, enrollment, and a rousing reminiscence of General Grant’s wrestling with Clermont figures. It also notes musical programs, a prominent poet’s family links, and local business ads.
Convention Actions And Old Window Change Noted
Mr. Sanford led a motion to form a six member committee to organize teetotaler Sunday and day school groups in the county, which passed. Hulick Moyer and Mitchell were chosen as delegates to the Marietta State convention on June 24. A motion to rename the convention from Union to Association was tabled. The next session will be at the Loveland Presbyterian church. The piece ends with memories of old Hamilton House windows replaced, and portraits of past locals who once waited in the office to hear the mail arrive, amid a reflective meditation on time and progress.
