Probably there may be SO more now

some have moved west; but large ma
jority have gone to their long homes,
whence no one returns. A few years at
most, and there will not be one of the
first settlers of Jackson county but that
will be gone Just think what one halt
century has brought forth.
While upon the subject of the first
officers of this county, | might have said
more. Joseph Armstrong was the first
tax gatherer in the county. At that
day there was no county Treasurer, but
collector, appointed by the county
Commissioners. The first Prosecuting
Attorney was Samuel f. Vinton. There
have been men of fine talents as Pros
ecuting Attorneys when they were ap-
pointed by the Court, such men as s. F.
Vinton, Richard Douglas, Joseph Sill,
Thomas Scott, &c. l am not saying
anything against the Prosecuting Attor-
neys who have been elected by the peo-
pie in this county; but | think majority
of the men who were appointed by the
Court excelled in talents those who have
been elected Prosecuting Attorneys by
the people.

of any interest, please give it place in

right. MICHAEL Mccoy,
