Transcribed without making changes to spelling and grammar. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson Athens Messenger March 11, 1875 GALLIA The Gallipolis municipal election promises to be exciting. There is a rumor that spiritualism of the "Katie King" order is gaining a foothold in Ohio township, near Bush's Mill. There have been some twenty additions to the membership of the Presbyterian Church at Gallipolis this winter. At the recent spelling match at Gallipolis Miss Langley was declared the winner of the prize. Gallipolis has petitioned for an enlargement of her boundaries. There will be three terms of court in this county next month : Special session of the Common Pleas April 1st; District Court on the 16th, and regular term of Common Pleas on the 27th. Mrs. Frazier, wife of Alexander Frazier, died at the residence of her husband in Cheshire, after an illness of two days, on the 23d ult. At Cheshire recently, Daniel Mauck, assignee of C. L. Guthrie, auctioned $5,500 worth of notes and accounts for $27.00 -- which amounts to about 1/2 cent on the dollar. "Skunk Hollow Skinnings" is the way "W. L. R." heads his communications to the Gallipolis Journal.

I found the item concerning Katie King to be most interesting and I did a google search and found it even more interesting.
