On the 5th of July, 1878, the National Index, the organ of the National Greenback party of the county, was issued by Gray & Travis, at Brazil. The Index was a six-column quarto, published Fridays. In July, 1879, the firm of Gray & Travis was dissolved, and the National Index discontinued. The Clay County Review was established at Bowling Green, February, 1877, Jason W. Brown, editor and publisher, siz-column quarto, Democratic in politics. In September, 1878, the Review was re- moved to Clay City' and changed to a seven-column folio. It was pub- lished until August, 1879,then taken back to Bowling Green. In November, 1880, the paper was suspended, and after an interval of nearly two years resumed by Mr. Brown at Saline City, August, 1882, Republican in politics, and then discontinued soon after the November election of that

year. In November, 1875, the first issue of the Martz Eaglet was made at Middlebury, a five-column folio, issued Saturdays. William Travis, editor and publisher, independent in everything. The Eaglet was sus- . pended temporarily, July 4, 1876; resumed February 1, 1877; then discontinued May 22 following, and the office removed to Worthington. The Clay City Independent, a six-column folio, published Fridays, William Travis, editor and publisher, was begun February 11, 1881. On the 7th day of June, 1883, the Independent was enlarged to a seven- column folio. A small quarto monthly paper, entitled The Sunbeam, de- voted to education and general information, William Travis, editor and proprietor, began publication at Center Point, April, 1869. The com- position and press work on the Sunbeam were done at Indianapolis for one year, when, having bought the Constitution office at Bowling Green, the publisher issued it thereafter from that office. At the expiration of the second year, the publisher having lost several hundred dollars in the venture, The Sunbeam was discontinued. In the year 1873, Harry Cassell published the Crusader, at Brazil, a monthly devoted to the cause of temperance. The Crusader lived but a few months.

POLITICAL.

Owing to the absence of records and files for the first twenty-five years of the county's existence, its political and official history can be given but briefly, and with but approximate accuracy. The first election of county officers, the precincts at which the voting was done, who constituted the boards of election, who were the various candidates for the several offices, and when, where and by whom the first courts were organized and held, are matters of fact about which we have not sufficient data at command to war- rant assertions. By the act of organization, Clay County was made a part of the First Judicial Circuit, and on the same day that this act was approved, February 12, 1825, the Governor appointed and commissioned Jesse MeIn- tire Sheriff. On the 6th of June following, Elijah Rawley was commissioned Clerk of the Court, and William Maxwell and Daniel Walker, Associate Judges. At this time, John Ewing was Judge of the First Judicial Circuit, hence the first Judge to preside in the county. On the 30th of the same month, Elijah Rawley was also commissioned Recorder. Judging from the files in the office of Secretary of State, these officers must have been chosen by the people at the general election in August of that year. John Wheeler was also then chosen as the first Coroner. Under the old Constitution, President and Associate Judges of the Circuit Court held their offices seven years. The succession in the Circuit Judgeship, following John Ewing down to the present, may be given as follows : W. Johnson, Amory Kinney, Elisha Huntington, William Bryant, John Law, Samuel B. Gookins, Delano R. Eckles, James Hughes, James M. Hanna, Solomon Claypool, William M. Franklin, Solon Turman, Silas D. Coffey. The Associate Judges were Philip Hedges, commissioned September 8, 1826 ; David Christie, August 27, 1827 ; Daniel

Alexander, August 16, 1841 ; Fergus Snoddy and Owen Thorpe, August 21, 1845. By an act of the Legislature, February, 1831, a Probate Court was organized in each county in the State. The Judges of this court, as commissioned from time to time, were Daniel Chance, September 22, 1831 ; Jesse Burton, April 23, 1832; Robert W. Crooke, August 29, 1833 ; Jared Peyton, August 14, 1835; Samuel Miles May 28, 1838, re-commissioned September 3 of the same year ; William D. Farley, March 15, 1842 ; Daniel Harris, August 16, 1842.

Under the old Constitution, as under the new, Sheriff's were elected for two years. Following his service, under the appointment of the Governor, McIntire served two full terms, until August, 1829, when he was succeeded by John Rizley, who served but one term. In August, 1831, Lawrence Leonard was elected, and commissioned September 22 following, and in August, 1833, was re-elected, his second term expiring in 1835. McIntire, Rizley and Leonard were all citizens of Washington Township. At the election of 1835, Bluford H. Bolin, of Jackson Township, was elected, who was succeeded in 1837 by Lawrence Leonard. In 1839, Abner Gaines Christie, of Perry Township, was elected, who resigned in July, 1841, when Thomas I. Cromwell, of Washington, was commissioned his successor, serving only until the 16th day of August, when Hiram C. Tribble, also of Washington, was commissioned. In August, 1843, George Pinckley, of Posey Township, was elected, who was succeeded in 1845 by Elias Cooprider, of Harrison Township. Charles W. Moss, of Washington (now Sugar Ridge Township), was elected in 1847, and re-elected in 1849. In 1851, Lot Loveing, of Washington, was elected, and, in 1852, re-elected under the new Constitution, serving until the expiration of his four years in 1855. In 1854, William F. Mccullough, of Dick Johnson Township, was nominated and elected, and. in 1856, was re-nominated and re-elected. He was succeeded in 1858 by Jeptha M. Ellington, of Lewis Township, whose successor, elected in 1860 was Calvin Reed, of the same township. In 1862, John H. Davis, of Wash- ington, was elected, and was succeded in 1864 by John Cullen, of the same township, who was re-elected in 1866. In 1868, John Weber, of Washing- ton, was elected, and re-elected in 1870. In 1872, John Strauch, of Wash- ington, was elected, who was succeeded, in 1874, by Jesse B. Yocum, of Posey, who was re-elected in 1876, and died in the spring of 1877, when Alexander Haggart, of Van Buren Township, was appointed to fill out the unexpired time. In 1878, Jacob Baumunk, of Cass Township, was elected, and succeeded, in 1880, by James F. Lankford, of Harrison. George Stierly, of Jackson Township, present incumbent, was elected in 1882, the twenty- third Sheriff of the county.

As Clerk of the Court and Recorder, Elijah Rawley served until Septem- ber 22, 1831, when Jesse McIntire succeeded him. McIntire was re-com- missioned Clerk and Recorder September 3, 1838, serving until August,

1842, when he resigned, and Charles C. Modesitt was appointed, and com- missioned on the 30th day of the month to fill out the unexpired term. Modesitt was elected Clerk in August, 1845. In 1847, he resigned, when Samuel Miles was appointed, and qualified on the 17th of September to fill the vacancy, until the election of 1848, when George Pinckley was chosen, and qualified September 25. In 1852, under the new Constitution, Pinckley was re-elected, and re-commissioned June 6, 1853, then again re-elected in 1856, and re-commissioned June 6, 1857. April 15, 1860, he died, and on the following day John C. Majors, of Washington, was commissioned to fill the vacancy. D. W. Bridges, of Cass, was elected in the fall of 1860, took charge of the office November 17, and was succeeded November 17, 1864, by Clinton M. Thompson, of Washington. Charles H. Knight, of Van Bu- ren, was elected in 1868, and on the 17th of November, 1872, was succeeded by George E. Hubbard, of Posey. Elias C. Kilmer, of Harrison, was elected in 1876, who was succeeded in 1880 by George E. Hubbard, present incum- bent, the twelfth Clerk of Court of the county.

In early times, under the old Constitution, the Clerk of the Court dis- charged the duties of Recorder and Auditor until the business and records assumed such proportions as to warrant the election of such officers and the organization of such new departments. Recorders held seven years and Auditors five years. At the August election, 1845, John S. Beam, of Wash- ington, was elected the first Recorder, whose commission was issued on the 21st day of the same month. In the fall of 1852, Thomas Riddell, of Jack- son, first incumbent under the new Constitution, was elected to succeed Beam at the expiration of his term in 1853. Riddell was re-elected in 1856, and died on the 16th of September, 1860, when his son, Job Riddell, was appointed to fill the vacancy. Clinton M. Thompson, of Washington, was elected at the general election of 1860, and assumed the duties of the office in November following. He was succeeded in November, 1864, by Charles H. Knight, of Van Buren. Peter T. Luther, of Harrison, was elected in 1868, and succeeded, in 1872, by Ed A. Rosser, of Van Buren. In 1876, Lucius J. Bowman, of Washington, was elected, who was succeeded, in 1880, by Silas Foulke, of Perry, present incumbent, and ninth Recorder of the county. Jesse Fuller, of Washington, first Auditor, was elected in August, 1845, and was succeeded by John Osborn, of Washington, in March, 1850, who had been elected in August, 1849. Osborn was re-elected in 1854, his first term expiring in March, 1855, and was followed, in 1859, by Hezekiah Wheeler, of Posey. George W. Wiltse, of Washington, was elected in 1863, and was followed, in 1867, by James M. Hoskins, of Posey, who was re-elected at the general election of 1870, his second term expiring in November, 1875. James Shaw, of Brazil, was elected in 1874, to succeed Hoskins, and served until January, 1877, when he died. Jefferson McAn- nelly, of Washington, was appointed by the Board of Commissioners to fill out the unexpired term, and assumed the duties of the office just at the time of removal from Bowling Green to Brazil. James T. Casteel, present in-

cumbent, was elected in October, 1878, and re-elected in November, 1882 the eighth Auditor of the county.

Under the old Constitution, prior to 1840, County Treasurers were ap- pointed by the County Board, whose duties were the care and disburse- ment of the public funds, the collection of taxes being made by the Sheriff, or by some one chosen specially as a Collector. Under the statute provid- ing for the election of a Treasurer and Collector, to serve for a period of three years, Allen T. Rose, of Washington, was the first man chosen for this position, entering upon the discharge of his duties in September, 1841. In September, 1844, he was succeeded by John Williams, of the same town- ship, who was re-elected in August, 1847, serving two full terms. John Picard, of Carrithers Township, was elected in August, 1850, and, having been chosen under the old Constitution, served to the expiration of three years, but his successor, Hale Columbia Conaway, of Perry, was chosen at the election of 1852. Ever since that time our Treasurer has been elected in the even years, and installed into office in the odd years. In 1854, Athel Staggs, of Perry, followed Conaway, and was succeeded, in 1856, by the election of Elias Helton, of Jackson, who was chosen to a second term in 1858. In November, 1860, Helton died, when Analnias Lowdermilk, of Sugar Ridge Township, was appointed to fill out the unexpired term. John G. Ackelmire, of Posey, was elected in 1860, and re-elected in 1862. In 1864, John Frump, of Van Buren, was elected, and re-elected in 1866. Alexander Brighton, of Sugar Ridge, was elected in 1868, and re-elected in 1870. In 1872, Roswell S. Hill, of Brazil, was elected, who was succeeded, in 1874, by F. W. Schromeyer, of Washington, who was re-elected in 1876. Leason B. Pruner, of Jackson, was elected in 1878, and followed, in 1880, by Joseph M. Boothe, of Washington. John W. White, of Harrison, pres- ent incumbent, was elected in 1882, the fifteenth Treasurer of the county.

William Maxwell was the first County Surveyor, but the time of his offi- cial service cannot be given. John D. Christie was one of the early survey- ors. William Herron also occupied this position a number of years under the old Constitution. Under the new Constitution, John J. Peyton was elected in 1852; William Herron, 1854; John Sharp, 1856; John H. Davis, 1858, re-elected in 1860; Samuel Terrell, 1862; George Goshorn, 1864; Peter T. Luther, 1866; Marvin B. Crist, 1868, re-elected 1870; Homer Hicks, 1872, re-elected 1874; D. S. Maurer, 1876, re-elected 1878; Thomas Hyland, 1880; T. B. Robertson, 1882, present incumbent.

The succession in the Coroner's office prior to 1852, as nearly as may be given, is as follows: John Wheeler, Peter Barnett, David Zenor, A. F. Baughman, David Zenor, Eli Deal, Jonathan Grable, Henry Moss, William W. Ferguson, John Wheeler, Hiram Anderson and Amos W. Laycock. Among those who have served in this position since 1852 may be named William R. Kress, James Clemens, Peter Eppert, John C. Phillips, John E. Slack, Franklin Tenny, James McDonald, Samuel M. Stewart, Dr. George Pell, and Daniel W. Bennett, present incumbent.

HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY.

The members or the Board of County Commissioners elected after the adoption of the new Constitution may be given in the following order: First District, James W. Modesitt, Martin Bowles, William Eaglesfield, James M. Halbert, George Ringo, George Eckert, William Allen, Archibald Love, John J. Lynch, present incumbent. Second District, Samuel Risley. A. B.

Osborn, T. J. Liston, Will- iam Rector, George W. Ellenberger, William Rector, William L. Buckallew, present incumbent.

With the adoption of the new Constitution, the Probate Court was abol- ished and the Common Pleas Court established by statute. The Judges of this court presiding in this county were Fred T. Brown, William M. Frank- lin, and Harrison Burns, within whose term of service this court was abol- ished.

Though organized in 1825, Clay County did not form a representative district within itself until 1832, when Jared Peyton was chosen the first member of the Lower House of the General Assembly. Under the old Con- stitution, Representatives were elected annually-the first Monday in August -while, under the new Constitution, they have been chosen biennially in October. The succession in representation from 1832 to 1882, just a half century, may be given as follows : 1832, Jared Peyton ; 1833, William Yocum ; 1834, Daniel Harris ; 1835, Daniel Harris ; 1836, Jesse J. Burton ; 1837, Samuel Howe Smydth ; 1838, Samuel Howe Smydth ; 1839, John Osborn ; 1840, Jesse J. Burton ; 1841, John B. Nees ; 1842, John B. Nees ; 1843, Francis B. Yocum ; 1844, Allen T. Rose ; 1845, Francis B. Yocum ; 1846, John Lewis ; 1847, Elias Bolin ; 1848, John T. Alexander ; 1849, Francis B. Yocum ; 1850, Delano E. Williamson ; 1851, Oliver Cromwell and George Donham ; 1852, Daniel Dunlavy ; 1854, John J. Peyton and William H. Gifford ; 1856, George W. Duncan and James W. Modesitt ; 1858, Lewis Row ; 1860, Elias Cooprider ; 1862, Adam Clarke Veach ; 1864, Adam Clarke Veach ; 1866, John Hungate ; 1868, John C. McGregor ; 1870, John D. Walker ; 1872, William H. Gifford ; 1874, George W. Bence ; 1876, Isaac M. Compton ; 1878, Isaac M. Compton ; 1880, George D. Teter ; 1882, James M. Price, present incumbent. In 1880, William M. Ridpath was elected Joint Representative for the counties of Clay, Putnam and Hendricks, and was succeeded, in 1882, by Frederick J. S. Robinson. Under the old Con- stitution, Senators to the General Assembly were elected for three years, and under the new for four years. In this representation, our data do not go back of 1831, when William C. Linton, of Vigo County, was elected to represent the district composed of Sullivan, Vigo and Clay. In 1834, he was succeeded by George Boon, of Sullivan. J. T. Moffatt, of Vigo, was elected in 1837, and re-elected in 1840, probably. R. W. Aiken, of Sullivan, was elected in 1843, who was followed by James Henry, of Vigo, in 1846. In 1849, James M. Hanna, of Clay, was elected, and was succeeded, in 1852,

by Michael Combs, of Clay. William E. McLean, of Vigo, was elected in 1856. During his term of service, in re-districting the State, Putnam and Clay were thrown together as a district, and, in 1860, Archibald Johnson, of Putnam, was elected, and was succeeded, in 1864, by Athel Staggs, of Clay. In re-districting the State again, Sullivan and Clay were organized into a district, and James M. Hanna, of Sullivan, elected in 1868. Hanna died within the term, and, in 1870, Joshua Alsop, of Sullivan, was chosen to fill out the unexpired time. In 1872, Morgan H. Ringo, of Clay, was elected, and during his term Clay and Owen were thrown together, and Inman H. Fowler, of Owen, elected in 1876. Isaac M. Compton, of Clay, was elected in 1880, and is the present incumbent.

In the Constitutional Convention of 1850, Clay County was represented by Francis B. Yocum, and the Senatorial District, including the county, by William R. Hadden, of Sullivan.

Political honors of a higher order than those conferred in the local capacity have never been thrust profusely upon citizens of Clay County. In 1857, James M. Hanna was appointed by Gov. Willard one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, the first citizen of the county promoted to a State office. In 1868, W. W. Carter was nominated by his party for Congress, at a Con- vention held at Gosport, the competitor of Hon. D. W. Voorhees, and came within 187 votes of being elected. In the spring of 1883, Mr. Carter was appointed by President Arthur Revenue Collector for the Seventh District of Indiana. In 1878, Roswell S. Hill was nominated by his party for Treas- urer of State, but was defeated at the election following. In 1880, Mr. Hill was re-nominated for the same position and elected. In 1882, he was again nominated and defeated. At the session of the General Assembly, 1881, William M. Ridpath was chosen Speaker of the House, and in 1882 was appointed by President Arthur to an Indian agency at Yankton, Dak. In the fall of 1881, C. P. Eppert, for many years Principal of the Brazil Schools, was appointed by Commissioner Dudley to a clerkship in the Pension De- partment. In the spring of 1859, David C. Stunkard was chosen a juryman to serve in the United States District Court at Indianapolis, the first Clay countian honored with this preferment.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES AND FAIRS.

The first effort on the part of the farmers and others of the county to organize an agricultural society was made in 1853. In the Eel River Pro- peller of August 27, the first issue of that paper, appeared the following ed- itorial on this subject :

" There is considerable talk among the farmers of this county at the pres- ent time in regard to the organization of an agricultural society. We hope they may persevere until they accomplish their object. The farmers will find it much to their advantage, and should not cease working in the matter until a society is organized. They have a newspaper in the county now to attend to the publishing department, and there is no excuse for any further delay."

HISTORY OF CLAY COUNTY.

Following this, a call was made for a meeting at Bowling Green Satur- day, September 28, when a partial organization was effected and an ad- journed meeting called for October 15. At this meeting it was determined, on motion of John Osborn, to go into a permanent organization by the elec- tion of officers to serve one year. John B. Nees was chosen President, Hale C. Conaway, Vice President, Oliver Cromwell, Sr., Treasurer, and Jona- than T. Grimes, Secretary. The Board of Directors chosen were Jeremiah M. Wyatt, Posey Township ; Thomas I. Cromwell, Dick Johnson ; George G. Mckinley, Van Buren ; James Short, Jackson ; John Donham, Perry; David Puckett, Lewis ; Presley Owens, Harrison ; John J. Lanning, Car- rithers ; Thomas Sloan, Washington ; and William L. Cromwell, Cass. Calls were issued for subsequent meetings, of which there are no reports on rec- ord, but on the 15th of May, 1854, a meeting of the Board of Directors was held, at which it was decided to hold the first annual fair for Clay County at Bowling Green October 4 and 5, and a premium list was adopted and pub- lished. As this time came in conflict with that of the State fair, the board changed to October 19, one day only, when the first exhibition was held, and passed off satisfactorily.

On the 20th of August, 1855, the society met and re-organized for the second year by the election of the following officers : William L. Cromwell, President ; N. D. Walker, Vice President ; Hale C. Conaway, Treasurer ; and John Osborn, Secretary. The Board of Directors selected from the several townships were Alfred West, Posey; W. F. McCullough, Dick John- son ; George G. Mckinley, Van Buren ; William Lowdermilk, Jackson ; George Donham, Perry; James P. Thomas, Washington ; George Grimes, Sr., Sugar Ridge ; and H. H. Carrithers, Cass ; leaving Harrison and Lewis Townships unrepresented. On the 1st of September, this board adopted a premium list, and appointed the fair for the 22d and 23d days of October, but one day only was given to the exhibition.

On the 3d of September, 1856, the board convened, and chose William L. Cromwell, President ; N. D. Walker, Vice President ; Milton A. Osborn, Secretary; and Hale C. Conaway, Treasurer, for the ensuing year. The Di- rectors chosen for the third year were Alfred West, Posey Township ; W. F. Mccullough, Dick Johnson ; Thomas Snow, Van Buren ; William Lowder- milk, Jackson ; George Donham, Perry; Calvin Reed, Lewis ; G. W. Dun- can, Harrison ; James P. Thomas, Washington ; George Grimes, Sugar Ridge ; and Samuel Risley, Cass. At this meeting it was determined to hold the fair for the year 1856 at Center Point, on the first Friday and Sat- urday of October. More than 200 articles were entered for competition at this exhibition. Martin H. Kennedy then proposed to donate four acres of ground for the use of the society on condition that the fair be permanently located at Center Point, which proposition was accepted at a meeting held at that place on the 8th of November following.

The next meeting of the society was held at Bowling Green April 8, 1857, when all accounts and claims were audited and a number of new mem-

bers received. The President reported that he had one-half pound Chinese sugar cane seed for the use of the society. By motion, it was resolved to divide the seed equally among Ira Allen, M. H. Kennedy, A. J. Baber and John Murbarger, with a request to cultivate to the best advantage and exhibit specimens of the product at the next annual fair. The act of the society in locating the grounds at Center Point, from some cause, was not regular and not recognized by the State Department. On the 30th of May following, at a meeting held at Bowling Green to consider permanent location for five years, A. J. Baber submitted the following proposition : " For the location anywhere in Lewis Township, the citizens of said township will sign 100 members at $1 each, provide five acres of suitable land, well fenced, together with all necessary sheds, stalls, feed, water, etc., and $50 in cash." This proposition was laid on the table, and a special committee appointed to co- operate with the Board of Directors in canvassing for donations and further propositions on permanent location. On the 11th of August, at a meeting held at Bowling Green, it was determined definitely to locate at Center Point. Exhibitions were held annually on this ground until the expiration of the five years, when, in 1862, the society voted to relocate at Bowling Green. The war having broken out and absorbed the public attention, and many of those prominent in the society having enlisted in the service of their country, active interest in matters pertaining to the society waned for a time. But the following year the accommodations on the ground were re- moved to Bowling Green, where several efforts were made to revive the in- terest and hold the usual exhibitions. Very little was accomplished, and fairs were abandoned for a time.

In 1871, an effort was made to revive the organization, several meetings having been called at Center Point by the Secretary, D. A. Notter. At one of these meetings, a committee on location was chosen, which selected the site adjoining the town of Center Point. This did not prove satisfactory, and nothing further was done that year. In 1872, further meetings were held at Center Point, Knightsville and Brazil, and the preliminary steps taken to organize a society combining various features and interests, which was perfected in June, 1873, under the title of the Clay Trotting Park Asso- ciation, and located permanently at Brazil. The capital stock of this soci- ety was put at $3,000-300 shares at $10 each. At the permanent organi- zation, John G. Ackelmire was chosen President ; I. W. Sanders, Secretary ; John Andrew, Treasurer ; and Samuel Weaver, James R. Painter, William Jarboe, John McDowell, Edward McClelland, John B. Richardson, I. M. Compton, H. L. Ashley, J. B. Warner, S. G. Biddle and Campbell Daugherty, Directors. This society leased forty acres of ground from Abel S. Hill, for the period of fifteen years, for racing, Scottish games, celebrations of na- tional holidays, and county fairs. The first exhibition was held September 11, 12 and 13, 1873, and annually thereafter up to the year 1877, inclusive. On the 1st of May, 1878, the Clay County Fair Association was organized to succeed the Trotting Park Association, with a capital stock of $1,550-
