NEIGHBORING COUNTIES 
Meigs  

Undertaker Biggs, of Pomeroy, has a match team of black mares which  weigh 
exactly 1,006 pounds each, both drawing the same notch. They are eight  years 
olds. 

The corner stone for a new M. E. church, to be known as  Highland Chapel, was 
laid with appropriate religious ceremonies on Thomas Fork  Tuesday morning of 
last week. 

The wife of Henson Willis, indicted at  Pomeroy, last week, for the murder of 
his father-in-law, denies the story that  she ever said that Willis had 
killed a man and woman at Pt. Pleasant and sank  their bodies in the river to 
get 
their boat. 

On Wednesday afternoon of  last week C. L. Henderson, son of ex-commissioner 
I. H. Henderson, of Portland,  was married at the Grand Dilcher hotel in 
Pomeroy to Miss Rosa Middleswart,  daughter of J. F. Middleswart, also of 
Portland. 

The Meigs County Common  Pleas Court convened Tuesday morning of last week. 
Among the indictments  returned by the Grand Jury was one against Willis Henson 
for murder in the first  degree and whose trial will come off at the present 
term of the April session  with Judge Sibley on the bench.
