HISTORY OF BEDFohp AND SOMERSET CoUN-
TIEs.-Since the organization of Somerset
county it is most astonishing to note the
great changes that nave been wrought on
the face of nature by the intelligent labor
performed by all industrious and progress
sive people. The almost impenetrable for
ests have been hewn down and in their
place can be found fine farms and farm
buildings and many little busy marts of
trade. Streams that were wont to be ford
ed have been bridged and in the place of the
Indian wigwams can be found comforta bic
houses and many church spires pointing
upward. Aside from attending tn their pri-
waite affairs our people have ever taken a
prominent part in State and national affairs
and have well sustained their position
During the war of the rebellion they nobly
responded to our country's call, and many a
brave man laid down his life in behalf of
his country. IN fact they have been pro
gressive and kept up with the wonderful
progress made by the world in the last CEN
tury.
The question now presents itself as 10
whether the people of this county, from the
first adventuresome frontiersman who pen
etrated the wilderness and established a
home for himself and family, down 10 the
present time shall have their deeds recorded
in imperisbable history. and honor accord
ed those 10 whom homo is due. Whethe T
those who have by,patient toll and industry
brought our county TO its present high state
of productiveness and those who have serv-
ed in township. county, State or national
affairs. whether dead or living, shall have
their names and deeds appropriately record
ed on the pages of history. As has been
announced, the publishing house of Water
man, Watkins Il Co., proposes publishing
an elegant history of vi equity, including
Bedford. and we trust that our people will
consult their own interests and ~patronize
them literally that the work may go for
ward This should be neglected no longer,
and it behooyes us all to interest ourselves
in the matter, and to furnish all the infor-
nation and assistance we can. The history
of our soldiers alone, which will be embod-
led in the work, were there no other consid-
Grafton. should be sufficient incentive to
cause us TO give the project our universal
support. A former issue contained an
line prospectus of the proposed work, which
is worthy of careful ~perusal.
