Giddings, Born in Athens Township, Re- called at Protection Hose An- niversary Exercises Athens — T he retrospective glance in the goth anniversary of Protection hose company brings (to mind one great champion of the | | anti-slavery controversy that agi- [tated the country before the civil war, and conduced to that aroused public sentiment that sharply! | defined the principles of freedom and emancipation. That man was Joshua R. Giddings who was born on a knoll below Morley's cross~ When yet an infant his par- | lents moved to Canandaigua, and [ten years later to Asthabula, Ohio, | ‘where he lived at the time we saw | him in Athens when he visited the | place of his birth before the civil war broke out. He had served as a soldier in the War of 1812 and was in a desper- ing. Sandusky bay, where one-fifth his regiment were killed or wounded. In 1826 he was chosen to the Ohio state legislature and was sent to congress in 1838 where he cham- pioned the cause of the abolition (of the slave trade, and from that {leaders in debates and measures {looking to the freedom of the slaves. In the height of this slavery lagitation he aroused the southern | leaders to such a frenzy that at one time one of the hot headed mem- | bers arose in his seat and began to |interrupt him, |a personal invective against those {who were in league with the devil | to perpetuate a system of barbarism | that was a disgrace to the time in we live. The sourthern member got to a white heat of excitement and challenged him to settle the matter on the field of honor. Mr. Giddings, in his dig- ‘nity said: “I accept your challenge, and we will settle it now at “this moment and the weapons I choose | are those God Almighty has pro- | vided. Come on.” This cooled pion and there was no duel, but time. invitation to Mr. Giddings to come to Athens soon after this episode | an in his life and he came. We re- | member the occasion and that the older settlers were present at the reception in Patrick's old hall. A, H. Spalding presided at the meet- (ing and made a fine speech, after which Mr. Giddings gave us one of his inspiring addresses that fired all his listeners with the great idea of slavery emancipation. After~ wards the party coasisting of Hon. C. L. Ward of Towanda, Mr. Gid- dings, Mr. Spalding and Mr. Her- rick drove down to the scene of Mr. Gidding’s birthplace and talk- that country. It was near here {that the Indian Queen Esther had | her palace and Mr. Giddings had | sodkie very exciting stories of her [to relate. Mr. Giddings died in Montreal, Canada in 1864, while the war was in progress, but he | lived to sce the great doctrines he {had advocated nearly realized in |the arbitrament of the sword. Installing Gas Engine Atheas—George M. Johnston is | putting arf International gas engine (of six horse power in his wagon | shop on Herrick street. His basi- ness has been steadily increasing | since he built his new shop ustil he finds it necessary to have more room and greater facilities to keep uy with the trade. He will build an addition that will make his shop 30x56 feet in size, and he will in~ stall a hand saw and planing mas chine at the present time aad in- ‘tends to add other machinery as needed. We are glad to note his prasperity for he is a good work- man and a pleasant citizen. Appraisers Appointed Athens— The Craig stock of goods at Bentley Creek has been |assigned to B. F.
