Uncle James Shumate, one OF the
earliest pioneers in this county, died at his
home, north of this city, Monday evening,
very suddenly. Mr.. Shumate came 10
johnson county from North Carolina many
years ago, and entered farm three and
one-half miles northeast of town. At one
time he was considered the wealihiest
farmer in the county, he dealing extern
siyely in horses and mules. The war COM
ing on, reverse followed reverse, until his
large personal aud real estate dwind.ed
down TO almost nothing A year or two
ago his wife died, and now he lies beside
her end Their oldest son in the family
burial ground near the old homestead He
was the father of four sons, all but one
now living in this county, and of three
daughters, one of whom Mrs J. l.. Moody
now here in this city. Mr.. Shumate had
the respect and esteem OF a wide circle of
| acquaintance, and his death, though not
entirely unexpected, as he had been in fee
ble health for nearly year, has cast a
gloom over the entire community.
james Shumate, who died near this
city Monday, came to Johnson county when
coon skins and twisted tobacco were eur
rency, and his fund of anecdote was large.
When he first came the country was iDiest-
I'D with rsttlesnakes, and he, never having
seen one, did not know their deadly nature.
One day while riding through the thick
brush of the Blackwater bottoms, he saw
one by the side of the path ard as it had
been his custom in North Carolina, he
thought to catch il By the tail, and with
vigorous jerk snap its head off Tn his
snakeship objected to, and left on the back
of his tormentor's hsnd some OF the deadly
venom with which these reptiles are pro
vided. In speaking of the matter TO some
of his acquaintance he was informed of
the character of the RATHER, and ever after
would never in any way modest them, his
fear overcoming all scrnples. Speaking of
rattlesnskes, am reminded OF little bat
tie in which myself ard a cousin were en-
gagged. We were moving prairie hsy on
the then open land southwest OF town. and
ran across "Tattler" ard followed him TO
little mound not far away. Watching
him enter the loose earth We procured
long pole, and by digging in the "nest" un-
esrthed and killed eighteen of them, and
becoming tired. left in disgust This was
sixteen years ago. and to this day that
mound is as bare of vegetation as a stone
pavement, and although repeatedly sown
in wheat, not stalk has vegetsted there.

The scarlet fever has prevailed in this
