    1. [OHBELMON-L] Goshen Twp., October 20, 1881
    2. >From the Barnesville Enterprise, October 20, 1881. "Goshen Township While your valuable paper is always replete with puffs and squibbs from significant and insignificant places in the county, there appears no report from this township. However, we would have you know that we are neither dead nor asleep, but our modesty and unassuming disposition prevent us from chronicling every oyster supper and hoe-down, merely to get our names in the paper. Farmers are very busy picking apples and hauling coal and making preparations for husking corn. We hear everybody exclaiming, "What a beautiful fall!" If the farmers do not get their work done before winter, they cannot attach the blame to the weather. A. J. Smith and Joseph Wiley are each building fine dwelling houses this fall. Wm. Phillips, one of the oldest citizens in this township, is very sick at this writing. Wm. Turner, one of our industrious farmers, tired out by toll and hardships of this life, bought himself a fine buggy. We learn since that he has laid his "hoe up to rest." Miss Flora Martin, of Somerton, has been visiting relatives of this vicinity. T. E. Langle, of the firm of Bundy, Langle & Co., is improving slowly. Mrs. John Flanagan has been very sick. Martin & Bolon, of Hunter, have been East after goods. Any person wanting anything in their line will do well to give them a call. H. C. McCoy has opened a new molasses factory lately, and is doing an extensive business. P. F. Burns has engaged boarding at Pleasant Ridge, and will make headquarters there the coming winter. Lon Smith has purchased the property formerly owned by Jacob Yocum in Hunter. Lena Langle will attend school at Lebanon this winter. Somerton's good Shepherd will not have to care for his little flock during the winter months. Prof. Goudy is teaching a singing at Mount Zion. Jesse Bailey has left his farm and moved to Pigeon Point. Mrs. Lytle has been very sick, but will recover by the care of Drs. Wright & Turner. Goshen."
