[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger April 15, 1880 VINTON Elder John Gold, living a mile northeast of McArthur has lost his right eye as the result of an abscess. The new baby at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. W. McVey, in Swan Township, wears a dress, says the McArthur Journal, that its mother wore thirty-three years ago. The McArthur Enquirer says: Chas. Johnson, confined in the old county jail for giving too much mortgage on personal property that wasn't his own, took an advantage of the re-modeling of the dilapidated jail and escaped last Sunday night. Mrs. Mary Baughman, of Zaleski, the mother, of two children, aged one and two years, was arrested, on Saturday, on a charge of assault with the intent to kill the wife of Samuel Heed. A preliminary examination resulted in her being bound over to await the action of the Grand Jury, and she was sent to the County Jail. At Zaleski, on Friday, Mrs. Joshua Sands died of whom it is said: She was a devout Christian and an active member of the Methodist Church, to which she belonged almost her entire life. Her life was that of a pure and noble woman a kind soul and loving mother and a devoted friend. The deceased was paternal grandmother of James W. Sands, Esq. of Athens. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson
