Meigs County Telegraph
Pomeroy, Ohio
October 10, 1856, Friday

"The Meigs County Telegraph, after a month's suspension, caused by the  
destruction of the entire office and materials at the great fire of the 8th of 
August, reappears this week. It is printed throughout on new type, and  
presents a very handsome appearance, while friend Thomson accustomed editorial  
ability and tact makes it, as heretofore, one of the most interesting papers 
in  
the State."  Athens Messenger

BURNED BUT NOT DEAD.  
"We welcome back to our exchange list the Meigs County Telegraph.   Friend 
Thomson deserves the highest commendation for his untiring energy, in  reviving 
his excellent paper so soon after having hiss office entirely consumed  by the 
devouring element."  Portsmouth Tribune.

THAT FLAG
Since last Tuesday, we have heard a great deal said about a  black flag that 
was in the procession on Tuesday.  Those who lie the  hardest about it, know 
all about the history of that flag, and they know they  lie.  The flag was made 
in Chester, by the ladies of that town, in the year  1840, and was first used 
at the District Convention held there on the 17th of  June, of that year.  
The material of which it was made was blue or  plum-colored silk, and the 
lettering was in gold leaf.  The material was  purchased at Branch’s store, and 
cost, we understand, over thirty dollars.   It was pronounced, by all parties, 
at 
that time, the handsomest flag in the  county.  A beautiful eagle, and the 
following inscriptions, in glad leaf,  decorated its ample folds:  “RESISTANCE 
TO 
TYRANTS IS OBEDIENCE TO GOD;”  “THE UNION REDEEMED US – LET UNION PRESERVE 
US.”

Time and exposure had changed its original color somewhat; but those who  
denominated it a black disunion flag knew its history, and some of them had 
more  
than once admired its beauty.

SALE OF CATTLE

venue, at this late residence in Carthage, Athens county, on  Thursday, Oct.
