Reflections: Letter to the editor from 1874
By Evelyn Long - Contributing Columnist
I love reading letters to the editor from years past. Writers held nothing back and at the same time the editors printed their thoughts.
I want to share this letter written to Editor Brown, The Independent, and published May 21, 1874.
“Mr Editor:
We have a railroad in operation and two more in our mind’s eye.
We have a navagable river (for turtles); We have a beautiful park to look at but not to walk in;
We have a grand school house, with a first class corps of teachers; We have under construction, a large brick church; We have factories and foundries, mills and warehouses; We have stores of all kinds, and the very best market for produce and provisions in Ohio;
