Illinois Legislature in 1892, and, IN
der appointment from Andrew Jack
son in 1885, he sold the land on
which Chicago is now built at 81 %
an acre. He afterward became a
banker and far-seeing financier. In
January, 1862, when the war had de-

Lincoln sent for Taylor to como to
Washington and advise him. Tay-
lor promptly advised the issue of
Treasury notes, printed on the best
bank note paper, bearing no interest
and to be made legal tender. See

would become as worthless as Con-

Have been residing here ever since.
Holly Springs is located on the Mis-
souri, Bottom 15 miles east of the
Missouri River, II miles west Of a
large range of Bluffs running north
east and southwest through the
county. This Bottom has q fine
corn growing and productive soil, its
color is real dark almost a jet black,
its depth is from 5 to 5 feet most
impossible to wear it out. For small
grain the soil is to strong, it grows
wheat and oats to such a terrible
height that it falls before it is ready
to harvest. But nevertheless We
have fine wheat and oats country,
also, and that is just over this range
of bluffs that l spoke of. There VIC
find beautiful country it is some
what rolling but not as much so al

out better than the farmers expect
ed. We had a very wet spring ant
after the farmers had finished plant
ing their corn it set in dry and from
that time up to July 22d, we had ;
continual drouth, since that time W,
very frequently get nice rain, ant
it has helped the crops wonderfully

BATTLE 3E CEDAR CREEK.
Fought October 10, 1865.

Old Early camp.,J at Fishers Hill,
Resolved som" Yankee blood to spill;
He choso n time when Phil was gone,
The Yankee camp to fnll upon;
At night, like thief of sense bcrcfi,
He marched his troops around our left,
With orders strict, unto his boys,
To nothing do to make noise.
"Gct out of the way" says General Fairly,
"I've come to drive you from the Valley
While they were on their mission bent,
We Yanks were sleeping in our tents,
Until the Rcbs with rousing vollcy,
Warned us that sleep was death and folly;
Old Early carried out his plan,
Surprising Crook and his commWl-
Who had not time their lines to form,
So sudden came the rebel storm.
Now, Mt the rising of the sun,
Old Early thought II jovial fun.
But General Crook-God bless his namc-
Said he would help him play the game.
He formed a line, the pike along,
To check old Early and his throng;
And nero he held the rcbs at bay,
It'll he was ilankc,l from every way;
This gave the Sixth Corps time to form
And bravely face the lcadcn storm,
TIL other Corps had time torally
To stop the Rebels in the valley.
Tho Johnnies thought the victory won,
A,,I fl,ni, l,>;rl q,
Robbing the dead and wounded, too,
As Americans never ought to do.
Now, when the day was almost lost,
God sends a reinforcing host:
The host he sends is but man,
But that's the noble Sheridan,
On, on he comes, with lightning speed,
Crying, "Who hath done this awful del?
He had better BE meath Southern skies,
Who darcs my sleeping camp surprise,
"Get ont of the way" says Phil to Early.
"You came too late to get the Valley
All, there, another solnG Is heard,
And Liberty is the rallyng word,
Aud every heart is filed with pride,
To sec the gallant leader ride,
Saying, "Form quick, the fight renew,
And see what right wrong can do.
| BY night'our camp we will regain,
And vengeance have for those that's slain.
Then orders flew from left to right,
| And glorious was the evening sight.
The rebels fled mid cannon's roar,
| Losing all they gained anl u THOUSAND more
Round their flank brave Custer flew,
As other cavalry nc'cI could do,
Capturing guns well nigh thrce-scorc,
| Including those we'd lost before.
Then cheers for Emory, Crook and Wright,
Torbctt, Mcrrett and General Dwight,
/ Three for Custer and his command,
! Our Union and General Sheridan.

May North and South united stand.

Mrs. Augusta Marsten, aged 81, and her in
FAINT child Gertie, aged 2]9 months, were
found dead in bed at their residence, 2ls
East One Hundred and Nineteenth street
An investigation by the police showed be-
yond a doubt tnat the woman had committed
suicide by shooting herself in the breast, and
as the ges was found turned on in the room,
the police believe that the child died from
suffocation. The woman is said to have
been nurse. Temporary insanity caused
by domestic troubles is believed to have been
the cause Of the tragedy.
