He states thus; I was bom in Nasbing county North Carolina, oct 10, 1800. Two years later my father and his family moved to Kentucky, two months were spent on the journey, arriving at Donal-son creek my father purchased a farm of 200 acres for $210, being only two years of age thisjonmey was a blank to me with the exception of two incidents, one was seeing a hog with a beU on, and the other of seeing the mail carrier ride up a hill, and he had on a blue coat. The passage through the Cumberland mountains was dangerous and the Indians were troublesome, and shortly before had kiUedsome travelers, Kentucky at that time was almost a wilderness and covered with forest and breaks, my mother being a timid woman suffered much from fear of the Indians.

At seven years of age I was put in school, the only books used In the school was DUworths speller and for readers any books that the parents might happen to have, from the Bible down to the Arabian knight. In 1811 the great Earthquake began, the first shock was felt Dec 16, the shocks continued at intervals all winter, the weather was dark and murky and the shocks were generally proceeded by a heavy rumbling sound, the people were much excited and thought that the earth was going to sink and make a great lake, and out of this grew the great religious excitement accompanied by the ierks, people were much excited and did not understand the principle of the convulsions, and did not know what was to be the end of it all, the jerks were so powerful that I have seen the hair on womens heads crack like a whip. It was a strange phenomenon and I am not able to account for it to this day. In 181 2 we were much alarmed by rumors of Indian depredation, I well remember two of my neighbors being drafted to join General Harrison against the British, and Indians, at this time 1 had got one years schooling and advanced rapidly hut still had never seen an arithmetic. my teacher had a manuscript which he copied for me.

In Oct, of 1814, wo heard of the burning of Washington, which had occurred on the 26th of August before This was the day of slow coaches. The first slave my father owned was bought in 1807, he got him in a land trade, sometime afterwards he bought a negro woman, I well remember of seeing her crying when she had to give up her babe to her old master. At the age of 18 1 went to school nine months to my old friend Levi Lancaster, and at the end of this time I went and stayed with him and learned surveying In 1826, I became a professor of religion and was baptized by Joel H. Hayden, I joined what was called the old Christian church. In the fall and winter of 26 and 27, myself and brother Joel, and a cousin William Ricks, built a flat boat we hewed the timber and sawed the lumber with a whip saw she was 70 feet long and 14 feet broad, it was quite an undertaking, we had a cabin in one end where we ate and slept.

We loaded onr boat with stock, grain, and poultry, and made a trip to New Orleans, we were 53 days on the trip, we sold onr produce and then sold our boat for $10, myself and brother had a very narrow escape of being robbed remained in New Orleans, three weeks and took passage on the steamer George Washington, she was 16 days on the trip up the river on the trip we passed the place where Padnca now stands there was but one small cabin at this place, here we heard of the death of Mrs. Jack-son, wife of the President-elect of the United States. In March 1827, I commenced teaching a six months school in Henry county Tenn. This year Sam Honsden and Newton Cannon, were canvassing the state for Govenor, Honsden was elected, and the famous David Crockett was defeated for Congress, by a man named Fitzgerald. On Nov 11th 1828, I was married to Mary Anderson of Steward county and two years later took charge ofmy fathers farm andnegros.

we raised cotton, com and tobacco, I carried on my fathers business till Nov 1833, when 1 started for I bad a large wagon and two yoke of oxen, while this journey in Galitan county we saw the great meteoric shower of 1833, it was the grandest sight I ever saw, many people were greatly alarmed believing that the da of judgment had come. I settled in Madlsou county, my nearest post-office was 17 miles, 1 entered 200 acres of land. The country was wild the winter severe, and the wolves howled round our cabin. In 1833, the Mormon agitation commenced in 111., they were expelled from Johnson county and they settled at Nauvoo. In 1834, they took part in politics and succeeded in elected a member of the legislature in 1840.

In 42, and 43, their missionaries preached through the neighborhood, my brother Joel, James Olive and others joined them and subsequently moved to Nauvoo, my brother followed them in their wanderings and is living at Logan City Utah territory at the present time My father died In 1844, he left us some property in slaves, when father made hie will, he entrusted it to the black man Abe, wbo faithfully performed the trust imposed in him and brought it forward at the proper time, we let the blacks select their homes and sold them, as the best thing that we could do under the circumstances as the laws of Kentucky, were very strict on freeing slaves, I felt very bad to do this, but it was the best that I could do. In 1848 1 was appointed deputy county surveyor and followed this in connection with my other business for several years. In 1856, took place the great agitation on the question of extending slavery in the free territory, the American party honored myself by electing me to the legislature from Madison county, there were 35 Democrats, 34 Republicans, and 6 Americans which gave the Americans, the balance of power on which ever side they cast their vote, the youngest man in the body was E. C. Ingersoll, broth-of the noted Bob, nearly all of the young men of this body have arisen to eminence, here I became acquainted with Abraham Lincoln, John A.

Logan, and other men of note. Onr space will not admit of more, during the straggle that followed he advocated abolishion of slavery, came to Kansas in 1885, and made his home with Mr. and Mrs. James Pearce, vho did all that human care could do to lighten the suffer-ng of his last sickness. selves responsible for any views expresed by correspondents ADVERTISING RATES: Local 5 cents per line for each in-ertion; all locals notices will be inserted until ordered out, and charged accordingly, unless we hav an understanding to the contrary.

15 Much has been said regarding advertising and when to advertise. Most merchants have an idea when they are making money hand over fist, that that is the time to advertise, and those who know of the redeeming qualities of printers ink always do so. But let times become the least shaky and they will quickly meander into the sanctum with take out my times are dull. Now a little horse sense will show these merchants that there is where they make their great mistake. Dnll times, if such a thing is really known to this part of the country, is just the time to advertise, and the merchant, who does it never afterwards regrets doing so.

Then again if a stranger has an idea of coming here, he will of course take up the home papers, and will infallibly gauge his opinion of th town, the amount of business done, by the quantity of advertising he can see. This is a rule some merchants learn to their sorrow, and a glance in the city papers at any dull season will show the correctness of it. My customers have been using Chamberlains Cough Remedy for several years and will have no other kind. The reason is, because it can always be depended upon; is quick in its actions and perfectly safe. Dr.

Please call nd see ns Is made by the gradual reduction process from the choicest selected winter wheat. efore being ground the wheat is cleaned first on a seperator, then a smutter is run through between two revolving brush es which makes the wheat clean and bright. The wheat is then ready for the rolls. After each reduction the flour is bolted out and carried to the flour chest the remainder going to the next pair of rolls. Only the best of the flour goes to the Snow Ball chest the balance going to a lower grade of flour.

Every sack of Snow Ball is warranted and will make, if properly handled the lightest, sweetest and whitest of bread. Give the flour a trial and when you get used to baking it yon will use no other. You can well afford to pay ten or fifteen cents more a sack for Snow Ball for it will make ten or fifteen pounds of bread more than any other. Your grocer has to pay more for it, ana of course must sell it higher, MADE AND WARRANTED BY FULTON ROLLER MILLS, FULTON, KANSAS. SOLD BY ALL GROCERS..
