! that he saw Washington, or remember
ed ANYTHING about the war of rs but
he belonged to q family remark
able in some respects. There are large
numbers OF the name in this region,
aud all OF the males who did not die
by violence lived to a great age. They
were all high spirited and disposed to
quarrel upon slight provocation. Sew
eral OF them during the last fifty years
have been killed in fights, or by assas
siuation. One was hung in 1868 for
murder. They have improved very
much within the last few years, and
the middle-aged and young members OF
the whole tribe, with very few excep-
tons, have become pious. and are good
citizens. As long as whisky is hard to
get by them they will continue so,
and perhaps most Of them would decline
to take whisky if tempted. But in the
times when there were so many rough
encounters and so much bloodshed on
Tug Fork OF Big Sandy. whisky was
cheap and abundant. 1t is not so now.
This Jacob Marcum is the person
alluded to by DR.. Y. Dunn English in
a story written three or four years ago
for the Oh Guard, magazine pub-
lished in New York. English once
lived in Logan county, the county al.
joining Wayne, and was acquainted
with all the conspicuous characters in
the mountain wilds Of Logan, Wayne
and adjoining counties. As near as | can
recollect the story. old Jake Marcum
had his coffin made many years ago,
by q man who owed him ~, and Of
| whom Uncle Jake could get no money
to paw the debt. He kept the coffin
about his premises until he found a
customer, when he traded it for a two
year old steer, eloqueutly persuadiug his
