There is a young man in the Meigs county jail who has at least four wives ?ying, and it is supposed six. Three of them reside in Meigs county. Hon. V. B. Horton, whose term as President and Director of the A.L.E.R.R., had expired, accepted a re-election as Director but not as President. It was, in his opinion, desirable that this office should be held by one who lived near the center of the road, and who could devote more time to the management of it than he himself would be able to do at Pomeroy.
