| OIjB TIME STUFF—WHAT OURj DADDIES AND GRAND DADDIES DID 60 YEARS AGO IN BAI/TI-1 MORE COUNTY. , (Continued from Page 1) turns of the first election held vn-! der this Constitution to state in their j said returns that every person who] has%oted has talcen such oath or; affirmation. But the provisions of ¦ this section in relation to acts against the United States shall not apply to any person not a citizen of I the United States who shall have committed such acts while in the service of some foreign country at war against the United States, and who has, since such acts, been naturalized, or may be naturalized, under the laws of the United States, and the oath above set forth shall be talcen in the case of such persons in, such -sense." The following is a notice of the death of Dr. Edward J. Griffith, who had a very large practice in Western Run Valley, and who will be remembered by many of our older citizens. His home was on the road leading from Oregon to Butler: "At his residence, in Western Run Valley, on the 25th inst., of typhoid fever, Dr. Edward J. Griffith, aged 35 years. "No man stood higher in the estimation of the community than he, and his loss as a physician, neighbor and friend canno* be replaced. His remains were interred at Bos-ley's Meeting House on Monday last, attended by a large concourse of the friends of the neighborhood that ever assembled at that place of worship on a similar occasion."' The following is an interesting sketch of Andrew Johnson, who was elected with Lincoln in '64 and afterwards became President: "Andrew Johnson entered Tennessee an illiterate tailor youth, poor as Lazarus in all but hope and ambition, without a relative or friend who could help him to a corporal-ship in the smallest company of 'floodwood' militia. A few years later he was a member of Assembly; next we hear from him in Congress; .then Governor of his closely-balanced State, after a spirited canvass, for Tennessee was then preponder-ently a Whig State, and her Whigs always ran for Governor one of her ablest and cleverest debaters. Johnson had always been a very ardent and active -Democrat, and had made himself widely obnoxious to his political adversaries. His birth ani breeding were matters of common notoriety, and the-cultivated aristocracy of Nashville and the surrounding region were not at all inclined to be ruled by the ex-journeyman tailor of Jonesborough. They could not help themselves, however, and Johnson, after serving lus term as Governor, was chosen to the United States Senate, where he made good his position against the ablest and proudest in the land." The issue of October 14, 1864, rejoices in the election of John Lee Chapman as Mayor of Baltimore City by a majority of 8040 and also ' rejoices over the defeat of the Cus-I torn House clique led by H. Winter ! Davis, Archibald Shirley and Joseph j Stewart.
