Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger August 2, 1888 GALLIA There are 1,897 children of school age in Gallipolis of which 424 are colored. Many Gallia county Democrats have made known their intention of voting the Republican ticket. At the Park Central Hotel, in Gallipolis, recently, Mr. Wm. Spencer was married to Miss Lulu Price. The recent assignment of the firm of Broseus & Crane, of Gallipolis, created quite a stir in business circles of that city. The Gallipolis Bulletin says that Jacob Riggs of that county threshed an average of thirty-seven bushels per acre of wheat from a ten acre field. Major Neal, of the Anchor Mills, of Gallipolis, has, says the Bulletin, received nearly 10,000 bushels of new wheat. The price paid averaged from 75 to 78 cents per bushel. Mr. John Swords, of Crown City, and one of the prominent Democrats of Guyan township, says that his party has left him and he will support Harrison, Morton, and protection, and has joined the Harrison and Morton Club of Gallipolis. David Call, going home from Gallipolis Thursday night, was, says the Bulletin of that city, attacked by a ferocious bull. The bull knocked his horse down and threw Mr. Call in the creek, nearly breaking his leg. Then the ferocious animal concluded to take vengence (sic) on the saddle that lay in the road. The horse got away and after the bull left Mr. Call crawled out of the water and called for help. He is at present at Anthony Day's unable to be moved.
