HAPPY NEW YEAR.
A CHICAGO FAITH ER'S HOLIDAY
GIFT.
[Erom the Chicago Times

From the Chicago Times.]
One OF the oldest inhabitants Of Cook
county is Peter Crawford, Esq Mr.. Craw-
ford, accompanied by his wife and three
children, came to Chicago 80 years ago.
Previous 10 that time he lived in Buffalo;
N. Y, to which city himself and wife
enigrated from Scotland. During
his residence in Buffalo, Mr.. Crawford
worked hard, aud in the course Of twenty
years had saved up about 81, 500. Becom-
ing satisfied that At this rate he would
never be anything but II poor man, he de-
termined to go further west and try to bet.
ter his fortunes in tho new country Just
then becoming known. While lie had
been in Buffalo his wife had borne unto
him three sons and one daughter.
On their arrival in Cook county, Mr..
Crawford invested his 81, $40 in land, and
on this farm himself and sons worked
faithfully, and in course OF time were
made happy with increased riches. City
lots were purchased, and houses were
built; but "the farm" was held, and rs
Chicago grew into greatness IL became
more and more valuable, until to-day it 10
worth 5000 per acre
On last Wednesday Peter Crawford and
wife determined to give theirschildren
grand present. They had invited Gilbert,
the eldest; Hiram, the second born; John,
the third youngest son, and their only
daughter, Mrs. A. B. Kellogg, to dinner
on that day, and when tho father and
mother and children had assembled
around the table the old gen.
tlemsn made known his intentions.
Himself and wife desired their children
TO accept with fathers and metber's love
certain gifts Of lands. He held in his
hands four warranty dseds ~ real estste
valued ut $4,000 each, making in all the
princely sum 81 $500, 600, to DO divided
equally among their children. As he
spoke he laid at four differ.
ent plates the papers mentioned
OF course they were accepted
Mr.. Crawford's actions may be con-
sidered singular, but he says he knows no
good reason why hs should not divide his
wealth among his children before his own
death. 1t will not lessen their love for
him; and 1t will not mako him the poorer.
For no has "the farm, left, and that Is
worth $3.50, 1t is situated upon the
Riverside road. jnAt beyond Silver'leaf
