The county's grand duplicate for 1926 revealed that her prop-erty of all kinds was valued at $51,189,990. The value of her 2,406 farms in 1925 totaled $8,941,927; her 1924 crops were worth $1,280,533. The value of her industrial products in 1920 was $4,041,343. The population of 1920 was of a good class, 46,809 persons being. native whites, while 6,159 of the total owned their homes. There is a great deal of very fertile soil on the surface of her area, which totals 487 square miles, and 187,906 of the county's total acreage are under cultivation. A recent publication of the Ohio Archeological and Historical Society, "Scenic and Historic Ohio," speaks thus of the county : First settlement on "College Lands," 1797; organized 1805, and named for Athens, Greece. County seat, Athens. Leads state in yield of corn per acre; ranks third in coal; fourth in number of large farms. Leading industries, coal-mining, caskets, files, fur-niture, stoves. The famous "Coon-Skin Library" is now in the State Archeological and Historical Museum in Columbus. Gen. C. H. Grosvenor came when five years old, and lived here all his life. C. C. McCabe, bishop, author, lecturer, was born in Athens, 1836. THE COUNTY'S SCHOOLS OF TODAY Athens County has made progress in the conduct of its schools. There are good evidences to this effect, among which is the fact that whereas the county's one-room schools in 1914 numbered 182 by 1924 they had been reduced to 92, as recorded in the report made by the state superintendent of public instruction for the biennium ending June 30, 1926. Other data gathered from that report follows : The establishment within the county of nine consolidated and the existence of twenty-three supplemental schools. There were twelve two-room, four three-room and eleven four-room schools. SOUTHEASTERN OHIO - 623 A total of 2,330 pupils were being taught in one-room schools and of 672 in two-room schools. OVER $100,000 FOR NEW BUILDINGS In 1924 461 pupils were being transported daily to the county's, consolidated schools and the annual cost of such transportation was reported to be $16,338. The total annual receipts (including balance) were stated to be $1,015,769.53 and the total annual expenditures amounted to $927,992.20, of which $110,940.41 had gone into new buildings. The county enrollment was: Boys, 4,311; girls, 4,162. The men teachers numbered 62 ; women teachers, 238. In the Athens City schools there were enrolled : Boys, 802, girls, 874, while there were 12 men and 57 women teachers. ATHENS COUNTY OFFICERS Probate Judge - Samuel M. Johnson Clerk of Courts - T. L.

The lines are owned by the independent interests except at Nelsonville, whose line is Bell-owned. The new Athens exchange will have automatic equipment. Three important clay-working industries are in operation in Athens County : the Nelsonville Brick Company and the Athens Glazed Brick Company, both of Nelsonville, and the Hissylvania Coal Company, maker of paving brick, at Glouster. Glouster was in the busy coal days a most important coal center and continues 40—Vol. 1 624 - SOUTHEASTERN OHIO its other activities. It has two banks : the First National, of which S. S. Danford is president and R. G. Webber cashier, and the Glouster State Bank, C. E. Duncan and E. R. Eddy, president and cashier, respectively. THE CITY OF ATHENS AS IT IS TODAY Athens is one of the most attractive county seats to be found in Ohio and is a type of her best college towns. Founded by men of worth, Athens has maintained the high character with which it began existence. The Ohio University has helped to keep the city in tune with the intellectual life of the time and culture, refinement and knowledge are cardinal elements in the lives of its inhabitants. The rich landscapes which are to be viewed from the commanding elevation upon which the city rests match subjective worth with objective beauty. POINTS OF ADVANTAGE Ohio University not only educates many of Athens County's sons and daughters who but for its presence therein would be far away among strange students and under strange instructors, but it confers direct benefits upon the county seat by bringing thither the outsider who must be lodged, fed and entertained while drawing upon the institution's fountain of knowledge or helping to impart instruction to many hundreds of students. The beauty of the city and its surroundings; its accessibility by rail, automobile and motor bus, with hard-surfaced highways radiating from it in every direction; its numerous stores and dining halls; its large quota of modern homes in which teachers and students may find suitable living quarters ; the picturesqueness of residential sections; the attractiveness of the university's campus and buildings all contribute to the charms which Athens possesses. These halls of the institution are grouped together within a stone's throw of the heart of the city and their nearness affords residents and sojourners almost constant close-up views of the outward life of the university. On the streets, in the stores, hotels, dining halls and places of amusement are to be seen gay and colorful Young America, and the observer may draw entertainment if not inspiration from SOUTHEASTERN OHIO - 625 the high spirits and self-confidence of these boys and girls. Athens is therefore one of those minor cities in which life is never dull and flat. ATHENS CITY BANKS There are three of these : The Athens National, whose capital is $125,000; surplus, $125,000; and undivided profits, $80,000. L. G. Worstell is its president, and F. R. Alderman its cashier. The Bank of Athens; capital, $250,000; surplus and undivided profits, $120,000. J. D. Brown is president, and F. D. Forsythe cashier. The Security Savings Bank; capital, $100,000; surplus, $50,000; undivided profits, $18,000; W. B. Lawrence, president; C. G. O'Bleness, cashier. OHIO UNIVERSITY DETAILS Much has been said in an earlier chapter concerning the rise and progress of Ohio University, but we have reserved for this closing chapter the story of that fine institution's present place in the field of higher education. Established in 1804 by the Ohio Legislature and supported in part today by the state, Ohio University has risen step by step in size, equipment, influence and standing. Its professors and instructors number about 140, exclusive of training school teachers; and over 2,000 students attend each semester. Including the summer sessions but excluding extension classes, 3,103 students attended last year. They came from twenty-four states and four foreign countries. The tuition is free but a registration fee of $35 per semester is charged. SPLENDID NEW BUILDINGS The university buildings now number twenty-one and there are fourteen college dormitories. Among the newer structures are : a $300,000 men's gymnasium; an auditorium to cost as much, and two other buildings costing $200,000 each. The income for the biennium ending June 30, 1927, was nearly $1,500,000. The university's scientific apparatus, machinery, furniture and other equipment have a combined value of $616,072.25, and the buildings, including dormitories, are valued at $2,194,784.89. The Carnegie Library of the university contains about 52,000 volumes. 626 - SOUTHEASTERN OHIO The university consists of two coordinate colleges, the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Education. For the two years from July 1, 1925, to June 30, 1927, the State of Ohio appropriated $1,202,361 for salaries, maintenance and additions. The total income for the biennium, including receipts from student fees, appropriations and all known sources of revenue, was over $1,467,361. In number, range of denominations and the character of their houses of worship, Athens religious organizations are in keeping with the high type of civilization which the city has developed. ATHENS HAS A STRONG NEWSPAPER, THE MESSENGER The Athens Mirror and Literary Register was the first newspaper to enter this field, its initial issue appearing in 1825. A. G. Brown was its editor and proprietor, and John Brough, afterward Ohio's distinguished war governor, came from Marietta as an apprentice. The young man lived with Brown for several years. The Mirror was succeeded in 1830 by The Western Spectator, edited and published by Isaac Maxon, former foreman of the Mirror. In 1836 Abraham Van Vorhes bought the Spectator, changed its name to The Athens Messenger and Hocking Valley Gazette, enlarged and improved it and sold it in 1844 to his sons, N. H. and A. J. Van Vorhes. During eleven years ending in 1851 S. N. Miller was a member of the firm. Overtaken by illness, N. H. Van Vorhes retired, and his brother conducted the paper until October 19, 1856, when G. S. Walsh acquired it. At the end of a year Walsh sold out, and N. H. Van Vorhes again took charge, continuing as editor until 1861, when he sold the Messenger to T. Wildes and entered the Union army. Jesse and S. C. Van Law were its next purchasers, but the latter withdrew in September, 1863. Jesse Van Law, as war editor and publisher, gave the paper marked prominence. He sold the Messenger to J. W. Stinchcomb in 1865, and J. R. S. Bond became proprietor and editor the following year. C. E. Jennings bought the paper in 1868 and conducted it until 1896, when his death occurred. F. W. BUSH, GENERAL MANAGER This successful newspaper man had entered the Messenger office in 1895, and when. Mr. Jennings passed away, in 1896, he succeeded that gentleman and has been the paper's general man- SOUTHEASTERN OHIO - 627 ager ever since. Under his direction the Messenger has risen steadily in circulation and influence until now, with the daily and Sunday editions passing the 10,000 mark, the paper goes regularly all over Athens County and into parts of Meigs, Hocking and Vinton counties—a circulation which takes the Messenger into four county seats. The Athens Tribune and Athens Journal died natural deaths in 1906. The Messenger is a well-printed, well-edited, newsy and prosperous newspaper, with an advertising patronage which is proof of its high standing among Southeastern Ohio daily and Sunday publications. An extended sketch of the career of its general manager, F. W. Bush, will be found in the biographical section of this work. The Messenger occupies a superb newspaper home of its own which was erected in 1925 and is handsome, commodious and modern in every respect. ATHENS ASYLUM FOR THE INSANE The Legislature having on April 13, 1867, passed an act providing for an additional institution of this kind, Athens citizens entered a contest waged over its location and won the prize for their city by purchasing and conveying to the state 150 acres of land located just south of the corporation on an elevation commanding a magnificent view. In the construction which went forward nearly twenty million bricks were used which had been made on the ground. The cornerstone was laid November 5, 1868, under Masonic auspices. The asylum was ready for patients January 1, 1874. Its original cost was about half a million dollars. Since then it has grown to be one of Ohio's great institutions and one which, like Ohio University, confers constant material benefits upon the City of Athens. Located upon a splendid elevation south of the main section of the city and surrounded by beautiful grounds, the asylum is an object of admiration to the tourist and sojourner and of pride to the people of Athens.
