February IIth. 1864, No. 1. of "The Ohio Signal" was issued, with the name of J. Milhol- land & Co., as publishers, but in a few weeks this name was withdrawn. In the year 1865. various amounts were subscribed as stock. by prominent Democrats, in what was called the "Signal Printing Company." with Daniel B. Linn, Elias Ellis, William Pringle and Gemmil Arthur, as Trustees. In August, 1865. this com- pany, with a well equipped office, containing a full supply of new type, a new Hoe power press. a steam engine, job printing materials, etc .. be- gan the publication of the "Zanesville Daily and Weekly Signal," in the regular style of city journalism. Mr. D. B. Linn, a lawyer, who had had several years experience in editing a news- paper, became the editor of the "Signal." In October, 1865, Mr. Linn was elected to the Ohio Senate, and re-elected in 1867. In the spring of 1867. negotiations for the purchase of the "Signal" and all its appurtenances, were en- tered into, and concluded with James T. Irvine. who took possession June 10th. 1867. The "Daily Signal" was continued by him until January Ist, 1870, when it was suspended, with the intention to resume is publication as soon as favorable circumstances would permit.

ued by the last named purchaser, and is a newsy paper, with a circulation of about twenty-four hundred copies.
THE CITY TIMES was a folio weekly paper, of seven columns, with a picture of the Triple Bridge sandwiched with the name. The style of type was burgeois, and the pages very neat. It was started by J. Glessner and J. B. Roberts, September 4, 1852. Mr. Roberts was appointed Postmaster, April 29, 1853, and retired from the paper, selling his interest to Mr. Glessner, who continued its publication for twelve years, never failing to issue the paper on the regular day of publication, each week. The office was then sold to George H. Logan, who soon after asso- ciated with J. H. Dodd, and continued to pub- lish the paper for some months, then sold the office to Messrs. Cooper, Evans and Ehrman, who were succeeded by Governor John Greiner. R. C. Brown succeeded Greiner, and, after run- ning the paper two years, sold it to W. W. Pyle, who published it for five years, during the last of which it was issued as a Sunday paper. Mr. Pyle sold the office to E. B. Hayes, who con- tinued it as a Sunday paper until the fall of 1875.
During Mr. Glessner's editorship, the paper was independent in politics, and eminently a fam- ily newspaper ; the subsequent career of the pa- per was varied, as the frequent changes in editors would indicate.
THE DAILY MORNING TIMES was started June 12, 1877, by W. W. Pyle, E. R. Sullivan, D. P. Mercer, Alonzo Shoemaker, Edward Mercer and Harry M. Parsons, practical printers, under the firm name of "The TIMES Publishing Company." W. W. Pyle, editor, and E. R. Sullivan, Busi- ness Manager ; these gentlemen continue to fill those positions.
The TIMES was a neat six-column sheet, and soon after enlarged to seven columns. In poli- tics, it was independent, until the Gubernatorial campaign of 1879, when it espoused the Repub- lican party doctrines, and with such vigor as to attract the attention of the leaders of that party, of which it was recognized as a powerful ally, and rendered signal service in bringing about the Re- publican party triumph ; the Democratic party having been the victors in political contests, prior to that time, in Muskingum county.
May 12, 1879, Alonzo Shoemaker transferred one-fifth interest to Sullivan and Parsons. No- vember 20, 1880, D. P. Mercer and Edward Mer- cer each transferred one-fifth interest to the same parties ; and the establishment was owned by W. W. Pyle, E. R. Sullivan and H. M. Parsons, the two latter owning their interest jointly, under the firm name, of Sullivan and Parsons. October 20, 1881, the partnership between W. W. Pyle, and Sullivan and Parsons, operating under the name of the "TIMES Company," was dissolved, Mr. Pyle retiring ; the business is conduct- ed by the remaining partners, Sullivan and Par- sons.
In the beginning, the establishment was run
on the co-operative plan, and the success of the enterprise is doubtless due to the energy and economy with which the work was conducted during the weeks of experiment.
The TIMES is the only morning paper publish- ed in Zanesville. Its dispatches are furnished by the National Press Association, and, as a wide-a-wake newspaper, it is a welcome ex- change throughout the State, and elsewhere. It reaches daily every postoffice in the county, where there is a daily mail.
THE WEEKLY TIMES, a handsome eight page sheet, was started August 16, 1877, and, like the daily, at once became a favorite, rapidly extend- ing its circulation into the adjoining counties of Licking, Morgan, Perry and Guernsey.
The foregoing recital might be greatly extend- ed, by elaborating the system of securing the news, and pointing out the advantages of classi- fication, which renders the TIMES of such pecu- liar value to the reader, but this would necessi- tate a detail that would be of more interest to the journalist than the reader, and hence, we refrain, and invite the public to profit by the results in reading the TIMES.
The office and business facilities have lately been greatly enlarged, and are still in the Magin- nis Block, near the Postoffice, No. 25, North Fifth street.
THE DRESDEN CHRONICLE, A. Deffenbaugh, publisher, was issued July 30, 1838, and contin- ued to 1842, when the name was changed to the JOURNAL ; under this name it was published for two years, when it disappeared.
"The Visitor," put in appearance in 1848. and retired, having issued but one number : John W. Wallace, the publisher, thinking one visit would do.
The "Advocate," under the management of Rev. Wallace and Mr. Agnew, entered the newspaper arena in 1850,and flourished about two years, when Mr. Wallace died, and Mr. Agnew associated with Mr. Sygford and issued the "Intelligencer." This paper was continued until 1855, when it passed into the hands of Bently Gill, who sold it to M. B. Lovett, in 1857.
The "Dresden Monitor" appeared in 1868, published by Thomas B. Peacock & Son, who continued their sanctum a little more than a year and sold out to J. A. Jackson, who, in turn, sold to L. M. Murphy, and he, after a year's ef- fort, transferred the office to W. H. Conkling, who, in a short time, sold out to J. T. Shryock, under whom the paper revived and continued about two years, when he sold out to John W. Martin. How long Mr. Martin owned the office does not appear, but the "Herald" was doubtless a child of that office, with Hunt and Springstead as guardians, and when the scion was half a year old, it was committed to the care of Mr. Spring- stead, who abandoned the waif to take care of it- self, and it disappeared.
The "Dresden Doings," a fortnightly quar- to, published by James W. Wheeling, appeared in 1874. In September, 1878, Mr. Wheel-

ing sold out his interest to Will E. Smith, who continued the paper as a bi-weekly about nine months, and then changed it to a five- column weekly, and continued its publication until about the middle of November, 1879, when it was enlarged to a six-column folio, and has been continued by the same publisher ever since.

NEW CONCORD ENTERPRISE-Principia, non Homines .- The first number of this paper was is- sued July 22, 1880, edited and published by Mc- Kee & Hutchison. In their salutatory, it is an- nounced to be a journal devoted to home interests, embracing education, morals, Christianity and temperance ; open to free and full discussion of all questions pertaining to the best interests of so- ciety ; regarding every man's politics, just as every man's religion, as his own, they do not pro- pose to attack or antagonize any class of citizens because of differences of opinion.
UNIVERSAL SORROW.
The President is dead ! No sadder news ever fell upon the American people. Throughout that memorable day there was a painful expectancy depicted in every countenance, and direful fore- bodings, uttered in subdued tones, as the wires told of the condition of the beloved President ; and shortly after the final struggle was over, and ere those who had so constantly watched the bul- letin-boards could carry the sad news to their anx- ious friends at home, the bell in the tower of the court house rang out in solemn tones the death of him the people loved so well. " The President died, at 10:35, at Long Branch, New Jersey." It was not necessary to add, "P.M. ; " the people knew but too well, and painfully, the time of that event- fil 19th day of September. What a mournful night was that, and how still the air-and yield- ing to the tongues of the church bells, as they chimed in with the court-house bell.
Unconscions Bell ! Olı, break ! Oh, break ! Refuse the listening Air to shake ! For thou dost shake Our hearts-they swell - They break ! They break ! Break with them, Bell ! Thy jarring tones, Thy harrowing moans, We may not quell- Break hearts, and Bell !
Thus the people their painful vigils kept, and the remainder of the night was spent in draping homes and public places with the emblems of the woe unutterable.
And when the day dawned, and the " Daily Morning Times," with its darkened columns, came, we conned o'er and o'er the sad, sad story renewed, and freely excused the editor for not attempting anything but reproductions. And
we looked again and again at those wonderful headlines, which read as follows :
"Safe in the Arms of Jesus-After Seventy- eight Days of Suffering, the President Passes Serenely Away, like one who draws the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams-A Nation mourns a great and good man's death, who departed this life as the hands on the dial pointed to 10:35-The midnight air saddened by the mournful tolling of thousands of bells, and strong men weep bitter tears at the fall of a friend of humanity-' But earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure'-Angels will rejoice at the reception in Paradise of so pure a soul."
[OFFICIAL BULLETIN.] "LONG BRANCH, New Jersey, September 19 .- The President died at 10:35.'
"And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave,"
While we gaze through tears on the life gone out, lifting our hearts in thankfulness for the tri- umph of Christian faith, for the end of that man was peace.
Zanesville, robed in black, and the lamenta- tions of her people over the death of our Chief Magistrate, marks an epoch in history that time will never efface.
A small printed hand-bill, distributed in the forenoon, called a public meeting of citizens, in Black's Music Hall, at two o'clock in the after- noon. In response. the Hall was filled at that hour with a concourse of men. The meeting was organized by the election of Rev. W. M. Mul- lenix, of the Second Street M. E. Church. as President, Hon. John O'Neill and J. T. Irvine, as Vice Presidents, and Messrs. T. J. Newman and (Captain ) D. B. Gary, as Secretaries.
Rev. Mr. Mullenix, as Chairman. opened the proceedings with a terse and expressive state- ment of the solemn circumstances, under which the meeting was held, an impressive sketch of the high character and services of the Nation's departed statesman and Chief Magistrate, and the overwhelming sorrow with which his own countrymen, supplemented by the generous sym- pathy of all the people of all other civilized conn- tries, received and. lamented over his untimely demise, by the foul hand and crime of a brutal assassin.
The Hon. John O'Neill was called upon, and spoke words of rare eloquence, depicting the love and grief of our fifty millions of people for their chosen and worthy head : their burning in- dignation at " the deep damnation of his taking off" by a fiendish assassin's cruel and senseless murder ; and the genial, friendly nature of the man who had ascended from the humble cottage of his widowed mother, through various grada- tions of trial and success, to the highest position of honor and power in the government of his country, and in the hearts of his countrymen. Mr. O'Neill spoke most feelingly from his own

personal acquaintance with James A. Garfield in Congress, and rendered a high eulogium to his fame and memory.
J. T. Irvine endeavored to respond by speak- ing of the tragical death of James A. Garfield as having at once wiped out, for the time being, all factions, parties, sections, sects, races, or other lines of divisions among the people, and united them all as one family, mourning over the woeful loss of its head, and thus demonstrating, in this epoch of National calamity, the oneness of the American people. The fatal striking down of the chief ruler in the Government, by a vile assassin's fiendish blow, was a causeless, horri- ble crime, not only against the President and Government of the United States, but against society and the whole people, each and all. * * * Mr. Irvine sought an illustration of the · universal popular sentiment, by quoting the say- ing of David on the assassination of Abner, in Israel :
"And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And King David himself followed the bier. And they buried Abner in Hebron, and the King lift- ed up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner ; and all the people wept. * And the King said unto his servants : Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Is- rael?"-II. Samuel, iii, 31-38.
He concluded by referring to the rule of Pres- idential succession, provided by the Constitution, which must be obeyed and respected, and that. as General Garfield himself had publicly said in New York after the assassination and death of President Lincoln, " God reigns and the Gov- ernment at Washington still lives."
T. H. Southard, Esq., was then called out and responded briefly in remarks highly appropriate to the occasion.
Hon. M. M. Granger was next called for, and, in words that breathe and thoughts that burn, pictured the fallen hero, and left the subject with the people, feeling too deeply to do more.
Hon. A. W. Train then addressed the audi- ence, and declared his firm belief that General Garfield was, by far, the greatest man of this epoch.
The Committee on Resolutions made the fol- lowing report, which was unanimously adopted by the whole audience, on a rising vote :
RESOLUTIONS.
"The people of Zanesville, called together by tidings that the Nation's President is dead, with one heart and mind, join their countrymen as mourners to-day. We meet in deepest sorrow, because the Nation's chosen head is slain ; and,
"Resolved, That we, the people of Zanesville, learn with deep anguish and profound sorrow, of the death of James A. Garfield, President of the United States.
"Resolved, That in President Garfield we recognize the highest type of American charac- ter. As a statesman, he has no superior ; as a
citizen, none was more faithful and patriotic ; as a soldier, distinguished for capacity and gal- lantry.
"Resolved, That by his death, the Nation has lost a great ruler ; community an exalted citi- zen and cultured scholar; Christianity one of her brightest ornaments.
"Resolved, That we detest and abhor the crime and the criminal by which this precious life has been sacrificed, and demand that the full meas- ure of punishment, provided by law, shall be promptly meted out to him.
"Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with his aged mother, his devoted and heroic wife, and his fatherless children, in their great bereave- ment.
"Resolved, That the President and Secretary of this meeting forward an official copy of its pro- ceedings to the widow of the deceased, and also a certified copy to the State Department at Washington."
The Committee on Resolutions was continued, to report suitable observance in this city during the funeral ceremonies of interment at Cleveland, on Monday, and the following is the report of said committee, which is taken from the Zanes- ville "Courier :"

The following are the editorial remarks of the Zanesville "Courier" on the death of President Garfield :
THE DEAD PRESIDENT.
"Monday all that is mortal of James A. Gar- field was laid away to rest in Lake View Cem- etery, at Cleveland, Ohio. He will sleep while ages pass away, along by the side of the beauti- ful lake he loved so well. He will sleep in the county where his eyes first saw the light of day. When suffering at Washington City, his mind wandered back to his native State of Ohio, and to the modest, comfortable home at Mentor, where, surrounded by those so near and dear to him, he had passed so many happy hours. After the spirit had taken its flight to the God who gave it, his body was carried back to the shores of the dear old lake, to rest there until time shall be no more.
"Around the grave where the remains of James A. Garfield will be laid at rest to-day, in spirit, fifty millions American people will be present. Never since the dawn of creation, has any man been so mourned. Those who live in the palace, and those who live in the humble cot, alike mourn the great and good man who has been cut down in the prime of life. By the poor of the land, in those humble homes where there is a struggle all the year round for bread, James A. Garfield was mourned, as never man was mourn- ed before.
"In the humble homes of the land, where want is often felt, and where there is never an abund- ance, and to spare, some method has been found to inform the outside world, that in those hum- ble cots, there are those who mourn the loss of a friend, good and true. And when the great and good man, who has gone to Heaven, looks down upon the people he ruled so wisely and so well, there is nothing that will gratify him more than the signs of heartfelt grief on the humble cots of the poor. He never forgot that he was a poor man. His great soul went out to those who struggled for an honest living in the lower walks of life. He, in life, was one of them, knew how to sympathize with them in their troubles and trials, knew how honest, true and patriotic they were. He knew that their strong arms and stout hearts saved the Union. And because he didn't forget the honest masses, but fell in the discharge of the duties assigned him by them, the honest masses mourn him so sincerely to-day. He died
at his post, as a good soldier always does, and in the hearts of a grateful people, he will live as long as the American people love honor, truth and virtue."
The following are the editorial remarks of the Zanesville "Signal" on the death of President Garfield :
PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S DEATH.
"The last sad scene, the death of President James A. Garfield, in the national tragedy wrought by the passion and bullet of a vile assas- sin, took place at Elberon, near Long Branch, New Jersey, last Monday night, at 10:35, when his spirit passed quietly away from his wounded and suffering body. He was assassinated on the morning of the 2nd of July, and having died on the night of September 19th, he thus endured eighty days of intense pain.
"The departed President lacked two months of attaining the fiftieth year of his age, but he died at the very pinnacle of earthly station and honor, most deeply and universally sympathized with, and lamented.
"The surgeons' autopsy revealed the fact that the wound from the assassin's bullet was inevita- bly fatal from the first, against all that could be done to avert this dread result.
"The obsequies, at Washington City, are now in progress, and the final ceremonies, and the in- terment, will take place at Cleveland, Monday next, September 26th."
The following are the remarks of the "Weekly Advocate" on the death of President Garfield :
"ONE EVENT HAPPENETH TO ALL." " The tall, the wise, the reverent head, Must lay as low as ours."
"The President is dead! James A. Gar- field was, in 1861, a State Senator ; 1862 and 1863, a General in the army of the United States : subsequently, for sixteen years, a Representative in the Congress of the United States: at the commencement of 1880, made a Senator in Con- gress by the Legislature of Ohio; in 1880. elected the President of the United States-IS NOW DEAD.
"He who filled the most exalted political posi- tion of any man among all the peoples of the world. The most honored, and in whom reposed. to a greater extent than in any other man, the interests and destinies of fifty millions of people -has passed away. 'One event happeneth unto all.'
"With the cause of his death, and with his condition and sufferings for the last seventy-eight days, our readers are generally familiar.
"Less than one hour before he died, which was at 10 :35 P. M., on Monday, September 19th. he awoke from an apparent sleep, and com- plained of pain in the region of the heart. He soon after began to sink, and his spirit passed away into the hands of the great God, who 'giveth to all the measure of their days.'

The Zanesville "Post" (German), of Wednes- day, September 2Ist. contained the following editorial remarks on the death of President Gar- field :
