Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger November 18, 1875 GALLIA Judge Kent, of Gallipolis, slipped and fell recently, injuring himself seriously. It is proposed to place a clock in the tower of the new M. E. Church, at Gallipolis. The jail at Gallipolis was burglarized on the night of the 8th inst., and an officers trowsers (sic) robbed of $16. Mr. Hiram Dale, who has long been a miller at the mill of R. Aleshire & Co., of Gallipolis, has removed to Fort Worth, Texas. Judge S. S. Knowles, we learn, has quickly worked himself in favor with the bar and estimable citizens of Gallipolis by his approved manner of judicial procedure. Deputy Sheriff Ripley, of this county, frustrated an attempted jail break from the jail at Gallipolis, on the night of the 9th inst., by creaping (sic) in just as the prisoners had made arrangements to creap (sic) out. Rev. F. Davis, of Rock River Conference, Ill., and son of Mr. Grasson Davis, of this county, has been appointed Missionary to India. His field of work will be at Magras (sic) and its vicinity. The Union Woolen Mills, of Gallipolis, have secured a contract for 100,000 or more yards of flannels. This will put this establishment to work again, and thus give employment to a large number of hands.

There used to be a webcam on the WSAZ site showing the bandstand, park, and the river beyond. I always enjoyed seeing what was going on in Gallipolis, and occasionally seeing a barge or riverboat going by. It has been removed, and I'm wondering if there are any plans for another webcam. Loved that thing!
